Massachusetts Has No Law Against Wearing Pajamas Out In Public

Many want to be as comfortable as possible when they head out to shop.

Now, when you decide to leave our house to run to the grocery store or make a trip to the department store for discounted clothing, we have to decide what to wear for shopping. Like, am I going out for the day, or am I just going and heading straight back home? Let's put it this way: even I admit to leaving my house to run a quick errand in my pajamas.

Is It Legal To Wear Pajamas In Public In Massachusetts?

The simplest way to put it is that no, it is not illegal to wear pajamas in public here in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. However, there are certain laws to follow, especially if you decide to get behind the wheel in your night clothes. For example, slippers are dangerous because they do what they say, as in they "slip," which can cause unintended acceleration of the vehicle. It's also a good idea to make sure the PJs you are wearing aren't too loose.
