A New Zealand cinema has banned patrons from wearing pyjamas, dressing gowns dirty gumboots and onesies to their screenings, in a bid to raise dress standards in the small town.
“Like many other businesses and people in town we have noticed an increasing trend of people thinking PJs/onesies and dressing gowns are appropriate to wear in public,” Hawera cinema 2 posted on Facebook.
Please no pyjamas, onesies, dressing gowns or dirty gumboots – no matter how cute they are!”
The small town of Hawera in the North Island is home to 12,000 people, and many applauded the cinema’s specifics regarding appropriate dress for cinema goers.
