my last couple of J flights, I changed into my SQ PJs as soon as I boarded (while Y people were still boarding).. as soon as the seat belt sign was off, it was time to fold the seat and fall asleep for nearly the entire trip home.
The idea of traveling in Business or First Class is so one is comfortable, has decent legroom, able to put one's feet up & be able to recline in comfort but please this is not your house or bedroom. One needs to have a safety approach to ones attire as well as having comfortable clothing & minimal footwear.
I've seen people sleep in every imaginable attire over the years. Recently I even saw someone strip down to nothing but a pair of boxers in a Qsuite. There is only one thing I would politely suggest and that is for guys to wear briefs under what they are wearing whether it's pyjamas, footy shorts or whatever.
When we say people are sleeping in undies what are we talking here - Boxer shorts or briefs/boxer briefs? I wouldn't have thought people would do the latter but perhaps I've been oblivious and have been missing out on a cooler, comfortable sleep.
If passengers can wander around in bare feet, why should anybody care what you have on your lie flat
bed !!!!!!!!!!
It disgusts me the airlines choose not to challenge the bare footers.
The other day I was in J on a QF 737. There was the regular parade of economy passengers coming forward to use the J toilet. One of them, however, was a young lady who was barefoot. The flight attendant in the galley approached her and I could tell that she was politely suggesting that shoes be fitted before entering the toilet. Said lady just shrugged and went in regardless. Yuck!

I've never changed from my standard travel clothes of jeans (not a tight pair or ones with thicker denim, which wouldn't be good, but a normal worn in pair) and tshirt in all the travelling done. Find a good pair of jeans to be quite warm and suitable on overnight long distance flights which can get cold.
Don't see any reason to do anything else.
Having had people around me take off their shoes sometimes and their then smell coming off them is quite disgusting. So I never take off the shoes either in respect of other nearby passengers in the cabin.
The alternative key thought for this, is being prepared. If a rare emergency situation comes up halfway through a flight causing an emergency landing (engine trouble etc..). In that case, the toilets will be locked off, seatbelt sign on or whatever. Noone is going to be able to get into the bathroom to change again and you would be pretty absurd if you end up evacuating a plane into a freezing cold area of the world. Sure, this would be quite unlikely situation, but it is entirely possible and does happen. Might as well be prepared for it.

Me too, the latest iteration of their jarmies are very good.
