Results: Wear Your Pyjamas To Work Day -- Every Day

If you're looking to move out of the city and work remotely, Owen Sound, a town of about 21,000, in southwestern Ontario (a little over two hours from Toronto) might have a solution for you. In a press release, the Ontario city claims that they have a rich culture and "relaxed lifestyle." They also have 5G internet and cellular service that will allow you to work from home. "As the desire for a better work-life balance grows in society, we strongly urge people to consider Owen Sound," reads the release. Have you ever heard of or been to Owen Sound?

The self-proclaimed "Work From Home Capital of Canada" even launched an ad campaign showing how relaxed it was in the town, focusing on the idea of wearing your pyjamas even out in public. They even launched a giveaway, handing out free pyjama bottoms to prove it. To get your "business jammies" you had to apply on the campaign's website. Unfortunately, these pyjamas sold out quickly (I guess there was a lot of interest) and the campaign offer is now closed. However, the town is still hoping interested prospective buyers will still consider Owen Sound as their "home office" headquarters. With the pandemic, have you considered moving somewhere less populated and more affordable to avoid crowds?

The Owen Sound campaign is all for fun -- of course. However, during the last year, with more and more people working from home, lounge wear and home wear have become the new office wear. Still, wearing pyjamas out in public, unless you're a toddler, is usually frowned upon. Have you ever worn your pyjamas to do any of the following?

Japanese fashion company AOKI have designed something that would combine the comfort of pyjamas with the more formality of the work suit. They call it the "Pyjamas Suit" – a two-piece sleepwear item that resembles the jacket and pants of full business suits typically worn by top-level executives. They come in navy, beige, black, or dark gray, and are marketed as being "more than pyjamas and less than fashionable clothes," subtly hinting that they're comfortable enough for you to sleep in while looking presentable enough for a business meeting. Would you personally wear these to your next Zoom meeting or would you even spend money on them in the first place?
