It is the captain's responsibility to avoid any conditions necessitating the donning of PFDs.
That said, it is the marine environment we operate in, and I have had a couple of occasions to order us into lifejackets. I preceded that order with my reasoning before conditions worsened to the point that it became obvious we should have already had them on. Thus, no anxiety beyond the concern for the worsening conditions developed.
