If pant is made of shirt, they're inside only.

Flannel shirt is fine, but flannel pants are pajamas are only for wearing inside. A T-shirt made of jersey material is fine to be worn out, but thin jersey pants are pajamas and should only be worn at home, so says conventional wisdom.

But, if shirt is made of pant, then it's nice/slightly fancy. Denim shirt? Nice, durable, suitable for a restaurant.

I don't know if this applies to women's fashion, as it seems to have very different rules to men's wear

I live in Cleveland. Only thing seperating me from Canada is a lake. I could cross the lake.....but that lake is Erie.

Detroit is closer and you can at least see Windsor from the shore. Suck it.

By being sorry to not being one, aren't you already half Canadian? 😆

If only immigration thought the same. I lost my health insurance this month. I'd kill for Canadian citizenship

It'd be pretty funny to go get breakfast somewhere dressed in one of those old fashioned pajama gowns with the cap, a little blanket and a teddy bear.

Why is last Tuesday funny? I was sleepy AND hungry. I got a booth. Powernap and waffles.

linen can be considered a shirt material but linen pants are okay outside

dharmacurious@slrpnk.net · 13 pts · 243d (1 reply)

Linen! My brother and I tried to find an exception and couldn't think of one. Lineb is a good one, but I think you have to live in Miami for it to work lol

KubrickFR@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 243d

Miami, or you know, any hot place on Earth...

TIL linen is a material.

stelelor@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 242d (2 replies)

Well what did you think it was

TheRedSpade@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 242d (1 reply)

An old word for "towels". The "linen closet" was where the towels were kept, and the few times I heard "linens" the people saying it were referring to towels.

You know what, that makes sense. It's one those things that you don't hear everyday so you have no reason to investigate the meaning.

A light fabric adhering to your top half is generally looked at differently than a light fabric adhering to your groins.

What? Have you never seen the Mighty Mighty Bosstones? You can definitely get legitimate (plaid) pants. Probably not flannel not sure that matters here if the pattern is what you have in mind.

Not sure thats the same though, I think they're talking about the material, which is generally not warm (windproof) enough to have as outside pants.

rhythmisaprancer@piefed.social · 2 pts · 243d

That's a good point. Flannel would probably not wear well as pants, either. I'll simmer down 🫣

Pyjamas are for wearing wherever tf you want
