Sleepwear touted as great togs for running errands



Analysts predicted months ago that young people will soon be running errands, walking dogs and driving carpools in their pajamas.
Apparently people are just too busy to change clothes. Time magazine reported pajama sales up 34 percent in 2002.
But predictions could be wrong.
When seniors at Annandale, Va., high school adapted them as a new cool uniform and vowed to wear them until their college acceptance letters arrived, the principal deemed them inappropriate, according to The Washington Post. They've also been banned at some Georgia and Maryland schools.
The trend, also a teen "must" about five years ago, is to wear pajama bottoms with T-shirts. It's an alternative to the track suit. The difference, advocates argued, between pajamas and sweats is that pajamas have prints on them. So when they were banned at Annandale, students simply marked up their sweat pants with the word "pajamas."
Bet some apparel company will have those in the stores within the year.
