Teenagers Wear Pajamas to School, Erode Moral Fiber of Society
01.01.70
Hey, it's not outgoing being lazy. It takes 13-year-old Juliana Dokas 45 minutes to get in condition in the morning. Most of that time is spent on her hair and makeup, and then she either puts on her red-plaid ballocks pj pants or she wears a "rotation of baggie sweatpants and flared yoga pants." Once she's got the pants, it's heretofore to complete the outfit: "She pairs them with a "cami" (camisole tank top), a "hoodie" (hooded sweatshirt) and hazy slippers." Et voilà!
Other loungewear aficionados have arrived at the style after realizing they didn't give a shit what they looked like. Brittany Barnhart, an 18-year-old college freshman says she often wore sweatpants and yoga pants to savoir faire during high school. Why? Because she already knew all of her classmates and teachers, "So why try?" Ahh, there's nothing quite like the impertinence of completely giving up.
Of course, clothing retailers are more than happy to provide for the teen need for flannel and sweats. All the big chains, like Abercrombie & Fitch, are displaying loungewear prominently in their stores. American Eagle Outfitter's chief marketing director explains that shirts with wide necks are especially hot because "girls are lacking to show their bra straps." Why not, as long as we're making ourselves comfortable.
