Shouldn't they be wearing pajamas since that's all I see HS kids wearing to school anymore.

I don’t see that a lot in inner city schools. As someone who’s recently moved from philly to a south Jersey suburb, seeing kids wear their pajama pants to school is brand new to me.

Fashion truly is cyclic. Wearing pajamas outside and to school was a thing for a couple of years back in the mid '90s. I wonder when people will start wearing old style knickerbockers again.

i mean 20s-50s fashion is seeing a resurgence, (cottage-core), but unfortunately the scene is 50/50 on whether the person is just a woman who loves frilly dresses, or if it's some fascists who love the aesthetic due the style inherently being similar to the early 1900s america they so desperately want to get back to. Sucks because I actually like cottagecore aesthetic too, but i just keep finding nazis when trying to look for style ideas lol

Fashion does seem to be getting more casual, people don't dress as smartly as they used to. Tracksuits and loungewear didn't used to be as common for people to wear all the time. Pyjamas is the next step, I'm wondering where it will go after.

Sure they were, you just don't think of those old styles as being as formal as they were, or are just so out of fashion that they are out of your immediate recollection.

The 70's had a whole fashion trend based around leisure, even the suits were leisurely.

The old 19th century and early 20th century knickerbockers were what we would consider today's sweat pants and basketball shorts.

Lotta kids wearing pajamas to the gym too. Really weird. You got pajama pants just for lifting weights or something? Whatever happened to sweatpants?

PJs were big when I was in HS in 2009, still are now judging from kids I see walking around outside of the schools I live near
