Keep Your Suitsy and Your Jammies at Home – No Pajamas in Court
Recently pajamas and their displeasing appearance in public has made the news both here and in England. In England, the displeasure was specifically directed at parents turning up in pajamas at school for drop-offs and pick-ups. In the States, however, pajamas are not part of the accepted dress code for court settings (specifically District Court settings in Columbia County, PA).
That’s right people. No pajamas in court. Go figure. Suits required. But what if one has suit pajamas? This dream can be yours via a product affectionately named “Suitsy” – a onesie designed with all of the comfort of pajamas but having the appearance of a casual business suit. Recently when I came home from work, my three year old daughter greeted me at the door with, “Okay Mom, now you can take your work jammies off.” I thought to myself, wow, wouldn’t it be great to actually have such a thing as “work jammies” – they sound so much more comfortable than regular suit attire. Sadly for me the Suitsy appears to have only a male version of their product – perhaps a hashtag campaign (along the lines of #wheresrey) such as #wheresaladysuitsy or #giveagirlasuitsy might generate enough attention that one can exist in the future. The major question then would be whether I would actually have the nerve to wear it professionally to court. Jury’s out on that one folks.
