I will admit I love to change into nice comfy loungewear when at home, I have nice fleece lined track suit bottoms and matching top that are like a big warm hug. When I visted a friend the other night I found her still wearing smart day wear which looking terribly uncomfortable for tucking your legs up to watch the telly, and wondered, do you lounge or do you wear your day clothes all day and night??

My loungewear is a fleece lined sweatshirt type top and fleece lined joggers, called loungewear when I bought it so I referred to it as such, but comfy clothes is just as good.
Before getting the 'loungewear' I simply wore PJs with an old cardi on top.

Oh, I see, thank you Petra. Matching top & bottoms.

I agree jeans aren’t the most comfortable, ViceVersa, or the warmest. I prefer fleecy joggers.

I have 4 kinds of outfits: out (shopping, etc), out-out (dinner, theatre, etc), at home (gardening, housework) and not-answering-the-door (tv, reading, CDs, etc).

I have a wardrobe full of really nice clothes but I no longer have a social or work life. I recently decided to not leave them hanging in the wardrobe for the moths but to wear them. So, I choose a nice outfit to dress in
after coffee, shower, make-up, hair, jewellery. I feel good all day. I never have changed my clothes until I go to bed. Never feel uncomfortable.

I dont change straight into night stuff when I arrive home from being out somewhere. It depends on where the outing was to. So if it is simple trousers top and warm but very light cashmere jumper, I feel comfortable in them wherever I am so will usually change the precious cashmere for my £5 bargain warm woollen blue jacket with good pockets. This looks fine, is very comfortable and fine for doing housework or sitting here at the laptop or whatever. If it is very cold in the early mornig 5ish I put on my long dressing gown but then put me long padded white gilet thing with a hood over the top. This keeps me very warm especially putting the hood up , and no doubt I look a tidy but perhaps rather weirdly dressed. Not that I see anyone else up at that early time . Once we get a bit more daylight it will be on with easy pullup trousers, a cotton T shirt and my fleece and my sox and shoes which will let me meander around in the early dawn without frightening the horses. At night , I tend to look at the radio times and what I have been doing and if I only plan to watch things like Only Connect and so forth I do get into dressing gown etc, but if I think I might go outside stay in clothes. Not many great things about living alone, but at least I can please myself and once I have shut the curtains I can do as I please.

Sorry being retired don’t have to dress up unless going out usually would put makeup on but not always. At home may be velour lounge suit or a pj day depends what I feel like, my husband is usually shorts and sweatshirt in winter or t-shirt in summer, our home our choices.
