Pajamas to School?
The editorial in yesterday’s SF Chronicle wonders about girls wearing pajama pants to school.
It doesn’t pay to go too far with this analyzing. Ponder too much and you’ll miss the plain anarchy of wearing rumpled sleepwear outside the house.
One fashion-world survey found that 3 of 4 teenage girls wore some form of “innerware'’ such as PJs outside the house. Take that, America.
Maybe it’s just all about safety first. After all, sleepwear is fire retardant.
In a whimsical google search about fire retardant pajamas, I learned that there are people who seek non-treated sleepwear in order to be chemical-free and ecologically sensitive.
For example:
The healthiest safe choice with the lowest embodied energy and lowest ecological impact would be snug-fitting, organic cotton long johns or union suit-style pajamas with the “Wear snug-fitting. Not flame resistant” label
I can now go on about my day knowing that I have learned something new today - and that my children can sleep in low embodied energy and low eco-impact PJ’s.
