A new study has revealed that the majority of Brits (6 in 10) insist on putting on their pyjamas as soon as they get home from work, claiming that it’s the best feeling in the world.
There are two types of people in this world, according to a new poll – those who spend the entire evening in the same clothes they wore to the office (39%) – and those who put their PJs or “comfies” on the MINUTE they walk through the door (61%).
In fact, a third (36%) of PJ-loving Britons would dress only in their nightwear if it was socially acceptable. According to the findings, when working from home, almost half (48%) regularly spend the entire day in their PJs, while 37% have even refused to change for a video call, just adding a smart top or shirt to their lounging trousers.
In addition, as many as 77 per cent of those who were surveyed said being comfortable was key, while 57 per cent insist that a good pair of PJs is simply the best clothing to hang around in, according to the nationwide poll by Window and Door experts Safestyle. Yet, 41 per cent hate when people pop over unannounced while they’re happily in their PJs at an early hour.
The survey suggests many Brits regularly make trips outside the house in their nightwear – with 59 per cent happily wearing them to take the bins out.
Perhaps more alarmingly, 19 per cent are happy to go to the shops in their pyjamas, while nine per cent have even done the school run.
It’s no surprise that two-thirds (61%) believe getting changed into their pyjamas after being out all day is the greatest feeling in the world. But it is not just pyjamas that Brits love wearing around the house. Over half (55%) love walking around the house in their undies, while ten per cent go a step further and admit to doing household chores while completely naked.
Scarlett Moffatt, working with Safestyle, said, “There’s no better feeling than getting home and into your PJs after you’ve been out all day. Relaxing in your favourite comfy clothes and enjoying the feeling of just being at home is the best! I’d wear PJs to work if it was socially acceptable!”
A spokesperson for Safestyle said, “This revealing data shows how relaxed the nation is when it comes to going about their daily routines in the comfort of their own home – choosing to chill out in their “comfies” – or in some cases opting to wear nothing at all. What’s particularly eye-opening is that over two-thirds don’t seem to mind who sees them through their window.
“For those who feel more inhibited but want to make the most of the light from their windows, privacy glass is a great option to keep what goes on indoors under wraps – especially as evening draws in.”
