PJs Verboten!

Shanghai - Community leaders in Shanghai are trying to break up the love affair of some city residents with walking outside in their pyjamas, state media reported on Friday. The Rixin neighbourhood committee in the city's northeast has begun a campaign to discourage residents' longstanding habit of wearing pyjamas out of their bedrooms and on the streets, the state-run Youth Daily reported. "We're telling people not to wear pyjamas in the street because it looks very uncivilised," community official Guo Xilin was quoted as saying. The Shanghainese habit of wearing pyjamas in public emerged alongside China's economic reforms over the past 30 years as it became a sign of prosperity, because it meant people did not sleep in tattered old clothes.
