How do you dress around the house?

[Anonymous]

I exercise every morning so start the day in athleisure. I have an intense wfh schedule so sometimes after the gym, I have to dive right into work and suddenly it’s 8 pm and I haven’t had a chance to shower change or pee. So those days I am in athleisure all day. Other days, I like to put on a super fun outfit like frou frou dress because I own a great wardrobe and I might as well wear it. I tend not to wear tight fitting pants because I’ve finally figured out that I have interstitial cystitis and tight pants around the crotch are directly correlated to severe and painful symptoms. I guess that’s been the case my whole life but I’m just figuring it out now. I love clothes but have been avoiding pants more and more, and honestly leggings are the best for this issue, but I am trying to not slide into fully athleisure all the time. Again, because I have a pretty great wardrobe and clothes make me happy.

Weekends I wear whatever depending on what we’re doing - athleisure i end up doing work around the house all day after the gym. Nice clothes if we go out.

The one constant is every night after work, I convert to “lounge” clothes where dh and I have cocktails together. Ranges from 1960s midcentury house dresses, to la Perla silk slip dresses, to tap shorts and chemise, to floral matching sets. I wear those for 2 hours every night and then shift to a proper sleeping outfit - pajamas or nightgown. Never old tee. Sleep and cocktail hour are both sacred and deserve the proper attire!

49, shorts or sweatpants and t-shirts.

Republicans are bringing back 1950's where women will not be wearing pants at home or sleeping in the same bed as their husbands.

I’d wear PJs all day long if I lived alone.

Yep, it's glorious. When I stay with other people and have to be dressed all day long, it's annoying and makes me a little cranky.

Same here. 52 yo, cotton leggings and t-shirt, sweats, socks no shoes. I reserve jeans for outside. I will change into sports leggings or jeans when I walk the dog (usually for about a hour). I will change when I come back in.

I do have seasonal allergy so I have been trying to keep outside cloth in the mud room and wear “home” cloth when I am working from hone.

I do have fancy cloth but for home I want to be super comfy.

I love everything about this other than the interstitial cystitis. I’m so very sorry, PP. It’s encouraging that you feel well enough to do this.

I only dress nicely when I go out on errands or whatever. I'm a SAHM who takes the dog out on multiple walks every day. In between that I'm usually cleaning a bathroom and definitely the kitchen most every day. I'm not wearing nice clothes to scrub a shower. So it's usually shorts/track pants and a tee or sweatshirt. Sometimes I have to change clothes several times a day because of all the various activities. When I'm done for the day, I put my robe on and cook dinner in it. No shame.

I WFH when I am not traveling for work and have a lot of zoom calls so am dressed in decent tops/jewelry every day. I prefer to have a semi coordinating outfit so typically will wear decent pants or nice jeans or a casual skirt on the bottom (rather than athleisure). I will change to exercise/walk at the end of the work day but usually put some version of decent clothes back on for dinner.

Mid 40s. At home, I'm usually in athleisure or cotton skirt & soft tee. I work in-person at the office and am very happy to change into comfy clothes when I get home every evening.

Mid 40s. In summer, joggers and a cashmere tshirt or tank, in winter, joggers and a cashmere long sleeve/dolman sleeve. I never wear these clothes out in public though, only at home and sometimes to walk the dog in the evening. I only wear lounge wear when I first get up and see the children off to school and then around 3pm when I'm done for the day (take a nap before the kids get home). If we go out to dinner I'll get changed for that of course.

I always wear a bit of light makeup (even to pilates/barre) and get my hair highlighted/toned/cut (whatever it needs) every 3-4 months. I prefer a clear gloss manicure and then a color pedicure. Simple earrings, either diamond studs, pearl studs, gold hoops or inside-out diamond hoops.

I work in a slightly more casual than business casual office, so basically the same thing that I wore to work. Jeans or khakis and a sweater usually.

I only have one wardrobe, besides a few grubby things to do house chores in.

Shorts and t-shirt/tank top or leggings and t-shirt depending on the season. I never wear a bra at home but I keep a sweatshirt handy to throw on if someone unexpectedly stops by.

Tiki wear would be great for cocktail hour

Casual (summer shorts and ts, winter leggings and sweaters). However, by 7:30 the bra is off no matter what I wear.
