  I completely agree about not wearing pajamas to class, and this goes for any student. We all realize you’re trying to say you could care less about looking great because “its just school”, but pajamas? There’s a difference between not caring about what you wear to school and not caring what you look like ever, and PJs crosses the line. Sorry!
  Rant over…

  Well, you beat me to the topic this week. I’m also fed up with pjs in class. Wearing pj’s or gym clothes is disrespectful to the teacher, to your classmates, and to yourself. Someone who really cares that little for class, shouldn’t be in class wasting everyone else’s time.

  Also, your university library is not a place to sleep, so don’t wear your pyjamas and bring your blanket and go to sleep somewhere!

  Chelsea Rae - Awesome, I’m so glad somebody agrees with me here! There are times when I feel like so many girls don’t understand the ugliness of this “trend.” And you are completely right about these people trying to send the message that they “could care less”, but really - is that a good thing?

  Meg - Seriously, it’s sooo disrespectful to the teacher! These people go out of their way to prepare all this stuff for you, they have to dress up every day, and then they have to teach to a room of half-asleep pajama-wearing 20 year olds? Come on. It’s so rude.

  Celeritas - Haha, I know right! It always freaks me out when I see people asleep a the library in their pj’s… it’s like, don’t you have somewhere to go? Just being at the library isn’t gonna make you smarter, you have to actually be doing something.

  Just wondering - where is everyone else from, and is this a common “trend” on your college campuses? I’m from Northern California, and not only is NorCal one of the most chill states in the U.S. (aside from, say, Hawaii), I also attend UC Berkeley, which is even more relaxed in its fashion atmosphere. As such, even professors don’t necessarily “dress up” for class (lots of them just wear t-shirts and jeans/shorts to lectures), and I’ve definitely seen people wearing PJs to class for a long time, all the time. I mean, we have homeless people wandering around campus in grungy jeans, old jackets, and rain boots in summer and many, many college geeks with no fashion sense, who don’t even care what they’re wearing, so that sometimes even the people wearing PJs look more put-together than them.

  Personally, I wouldn’t wear PJs to class (except maybe super-comfy sweats/jazz pants on test days), but I guess as someone from NorCal, it’s not that big of a deal to me.

  i totally agree. at my school is was mainly the sorority chicks who did it, too, and they are the ones with the most expensive clothes! wtf? Vic Sic’s is making some crazy cute dormwear right now, so get off your butt 2 minutes earlier and throw on some Pink sweats at least!

  ps. Pajama pants do not hide cellulite, and YES WE CAN SEE IT!

  Jennifer - I’m from New England and it’s a big trend at my school. Granted I go to a big university where not everyone is fashion-conscious, and the atmosphere is relaxed. Still, I don’t think pjs should ever be appropriate for class. I’m with you though on the super-comfy yoga pants on a test day! If I got 2 hrs sleep and need to take a final, fashion is not the first thing on my mind.

  Erin - Haha you are so right! At my school the sorority girls always do it! And seriously, VS sweats are really cute. I guess it must be TOO MUCH of an effort to even bother. Even though they can’t make an effort to get dressed, these chicks always seem to have a full face of makeup on…

  I go to the University of Arizona and wearing pj’s to class isn’t a big deal and nobody seems to care. There are some days were I feel I am better dressed then the professors, trust me some of them are WORST than the students.

  Haha monica I know how you feel about badly dressed professors - one of mine wears the SAME dark green courderoy mom jeans EVERY class. She’s so cute but so in need of help fashion-wise. I wanna pull a Cher in clueless on her haha

  [...] I personally like the look of cowboy boots, and even though some hardcore Vogue readers will claim that they aren’t “in” right this second, I am a believer in wearing what you like, just making sure to wear it the right way! There’s no fashion discrimination here, except maybe against pajamas in public… [...]
