Welcome to Whitman: The No Judgment Zone

There is a hardcore pajama-wearing culture in the Whitman neighborhood of South Philadelphia — wherever and whenever they want.

Whitman-ites don’t care what you think, or how taboo it may be wherever you are from. Pajamas are comfortable and lightweight and efficient. No need to expend that energy in order to change all those clothes. Although Whitman-ites aren’t confident enough to embrace wearing pajamas any further than the corner store or local playground, they are totally rockin’ their look all day any day in Whitman.

There is no stigma attached, no thoughts that depression must have led to this decision to wear pajamas all day long, no awkward interactions — just pajamas: pajamas walking, pajamas biking, pajamas shopping.

Whether it’s the midnight stroll in the dead of winter or the early morning walk before the sun comes up, it’s always a classy move to roam Whitman in pajamas. Skip the skinny jeans and those uncomfortable heels and embark on your own personal journey of freedom to wear what you want, when you want.  Why should kids get to have all the fun on “Pajama Day”? Wearing pajamas outside of the house combines nighttime comfort into daytime fun.

Whitman is not only the Pajama-wearing center of Phillly, it also has a walk score of 91!  At least where I live.

What do you think of the daytime PJs trend - is it a go or a no? Ever see this in your own neighborhood?
