When I’m just pottering about at home,I look an absolute slob.....am I the only one ? Baggy old tracksuit bottoms, t shirt ?

Joggers and T-shirt (usually a hoodie too as I'm freezing all the time) or leggings and a T-shirt/T-shirt dress.

I hate feeling restricted when I'm in the house mooching working.

I wear relaxed sporty clothing for lounging, in the rare hope that I may spring into action. Never happens though. Only wear pj's in hotels or hospitals.

I don't look too bad. I look awful on Sundays as I don't wash my hair and cook all the stuff day, so that with my sporty gear I just look a total frump.

Not really slob style, just casual. But feel comfortable enough for an unexpected visitor.

Winter, leggings and a T shirt or a top which I would go out in. No bra.

Summer. Long summer dress. No underwear.

Frannibananni · 02/04/2019 05:23

I regularly change back into my pjs

ShirleyPhallus · 02/04/2019 08:21

I always wear leggings, a vest and a hoodie around the house. If I’m out all day (ie at work) I have to have a shower when I come home and get changed in to something more relaxing

I hate the idea of wearing clothes I’ve worn all day to sit about in. It just isn’t relaxing

Jeans are formal wear and shouldn’t be worn for relaxing

Aimily · 02/04/2019 08:27

I'm a work clothes or pajamas type of girl, although if I'm going out at the weekend it's leggings and oversized tops, I usually hate leggings but they're cheap and I have no trousers that fit at the moment 🙈

BeardedMum · 02/04/2019 08:28

Pjs as soon as i get in from work.

Pizzaaddict · 02/04/2019 09:36

If I’m not going out I’ll stay in pjs all day (tracksuit bottoms and T-shirt, I don’t own actual pjs). If I’m out, I keep my outfit on when I get home and put my dressing gown over the top.

Lilymossflower · 02/04/2019 10:03

I'm a hippy so I just live in harems and multiple layers of upperwear

KaliforniaDreamz · 02/04/2019 10:19

I'm usually doing fuck all in my active wear.

user1457017537 · 02/04/2019 10:33

I have housework frocks Smile. I hate trackies, or cheap leggings and t shirts. I love ankle length, stretchy dresses but can’t seem to find any at the moment.

MaryLennoxsScowl · 02/04/2019 10:58

I wear scruffy comfy boyfriend or mom jeans and a series of ancient, holey, thick jumpers or sweatshirts. I will go to the corner shop or for a walk in the park in these but would probably change to a nicer top and put some makeup on if I planned to meet up with anyone.

SockPortal · 02/04/2019 11:58

I'm slobbing it up right now, wearing leggings and a hoodie I bought from Disney land 20 years ago. I'm lying to myself saying I'll tackle the housework when in actual fact I'm watching the Bill and I've nearly choked to deaf by accidentally swallowing a malteaser whole. Can't get more slobby!

Auldspinster · 02/04/2019 14:17

I have a few old maxi dresses that I wear or some reasonably ok looking trackie bottoms.

RLABC · 02/04/2019 20:25

If I'm staying indoors all day then it's pyjamas, thick socks, thermal t-shirt, long sleeve t-shirt and a cardigan (it's bloody cold in this house!) but if I know I'll be going to the shops at some point during the day then I'll get dressed - usually jeans/joggers - but stick with the multiple layers of tops. Then change back into my pyjama trousers as soon as I'm home. I hate being cold and don't have enough 'outside' clothes to wear them all the time. And pyjamas are sooo comfortable Grin

lms2017 · 02/04/2019 20:32

I am usually in horsey clothes alday long ! I start off looking like a posh horsey person and smelling nice ..... by the end of the day I look like I havent had a bath for days , my hair hasn't seen a hair brush while braided with hay and shavings ! And I have a new scent of horse shite !
I shower when in then get changed into more slobby clothes! Usually pyjamas 😆 .

Oh I do also have non horsey clothing for other occasions ! . 😁.

I live in my horse boots too! . Sooo comfy!

ColdTattyWaitingForSummer · 02/04/2019 21:06

Have to confess to soft trackies and tshirt / sweatshirt / hoodie if I’m going to be at home all day. If I’m out or seeing people it’s usually denim skirts, leggings, tops or jersey dresses. I just can’t find jeans comfy anymore, although I used to live in them.

I tend to wear “lounge trousers” and a jumper, with Ugg-type boots in winter. Our house is old and can be chilly unless the heating’s been on all day which it never is while we’re at work. In summer, leggings, t-shirt, flip-flops. I would be okay if someone rang the doorbell, but wouldn’t go to the shops.

I feel weird in outside clothes inside. I’m on holiday this week, and have been to the dentist this morning, then am meeting my friend for lunch later. It feels wrong to be watching daytime telly with the cat on my lap wearing proper clothes!

MaybeDoctor · 03/04/2019 12:29

I normally get dressed into my standard casual wear: dark skinny jeans, top and a cardigan. Fairly coordinated. This is for weekends, working from home or other non-work days. I am happy to go most places or meet pretty much anyone in this outfit. But I do get undressed into a nightie, joggers and dressing gown once supper is washed up at about 8pm. Smile

MotherOfTheNoise · 03/04/2019 15:00

I live in jeans and baggy jumpers (my favourite is my 15 year old Quidditch one). I always do my hair and make up or I would do nothing all day. Being made up makes me actually do things 🤷🏻‍♀️ but in the summer its leggings and tunics all the time. As soon as kids are in bed I jump into pyjamas and big fluffy socks, take off make up, just to look super attractive for when DH gets home 😂

KaliforniaDreamz · 04/04/2019 11:46

Honeycake50 i work from home and i def feel better and more productive when i make an effort. so skinny jeans and sik blouse, for example, but i am more comfy in leggings and a jumer and uggs!

Fluffycloudland77 · 04/04/2019 16:11

I’m going to try a new home uniform of white jeggings & vest with a pale grey knit of some sort for normal days ie not 26c in the lounge days.

In the winter I’ll change it to pale blue jeans and caramel toned jumpers so I can get some thermals under there.

IncrediblySadToo · 04/04/2019 16:21

White leggings...it sounds lovely, but I’d need them to be disposable, not just washable 😖

Fluffycloudland77 · 04/04/2019 16:40

I don’t have children so it should be ok.......unless the cat gets his muddy paw prints on me.
