Does anyone else just stay in their pajamas if you're not going out

Pyjamas, lounge wear. All the way. I'll have a bath in the morning and put fresh ones on. Love it. I need to be cosy and comfy.

Of course I'll get dressed if taking my dog out for a stroll.

But all day in PJs?

Absolutely.

Don't wear jim jams and have to shower as soon as, and get dressed or I can't get on with the day. I would like to know if people wash their pyjamas every day if they have been nestling against their lady gardens. If not, yuk!

I stay in my pyjamas if I know the post man not coming . Like sunday's , bank holidays and Christmas . I might buy some pyjamas that looks like tracksuits , then he wouldn't know I was being a lazy mare .

I have a collection of baggy cotton Kaftan style house dresses that can double as a Nightdress if required, but equally suitable for nipping out to the shop or being seen in the garden wearing one if required. I seldom wear undergarments in the house, and prefare the feeling of freedom it gives me.
Likewise, my make up bag stays firmly in the draw unless I am off out somewhere really posh, where my best clothes get an outing too!
My mother was never a regular make up wearer and her skin looked lovely and naturally radiant right up till she died, she never used soap on her face either, just warm plain water.
A lot of the chemicals that form the ingredients of make up can cause long term dryness and damage to the base layers of the skin, no matter what fancy price you paid for it, or what is claimed by the manufacturers all in the name of emotional consumer blackmail and huge company profits!

There was a film in the 50's called "A Woman in a Dressing Gown" about a depressed woman.

My OH hates it if I stay in PJs all day so I do tend to dress for the day ahead. That’s if you call leggings and a jumper dressy. However I discovered M&S Flexfit range last week and think that will be the way ahead during winter lockdown. Unfortunately they’re pretty much sold out of my size online so I’m hoping they’ll get more stock.

Not just me then! As I live alone even got to the point of not wearing a bra as no-one arriving un-announced. Can recommend M&S lace edged vests as cosy and as it has lycra stops boobs wobbling about ??

No pyjamas, but I wear kaftans all the time as they are so comfy and loose fitting. Due to illness wearing anything fitted causes me too much pain!

It depends how I feel on the day I often wear my pyjamas during the day as they are so comfy.
I don’t wear them in bed so it’s just like wearing comfy clothes, you are in your own house so wear what you want it’s not as if you are going out have unexpected visitors

When I wake up I have breakfast and do household chores in my jammies.

However, my clothes are my armour. I wash, shampoo and blow dry my hair, don clean, ironed clothes and jewellery and do battle with the rest of the day.

I am like Kate Hardcastle in 'She Stoops to Conquer' and do the busy-work chores in the morning and swan about as the mistress of the house in the afternoon. The house always looks fabulous as the staff do their (my) job well.

No nightwear. Comfy warm clothes though. Need to walk the dog. Walk does me good as well even on a frosty day like today.

Its 10 am and I'm not dressed yet. Husband has been to the dentist and is back at home. I feel lazy.

I couldn't spend all day in pyjamas.I wear something comfortable,and always wear jewellery and makeup,then I change back into pjs and dressing gown to watch tv in the evening.

I think for mental health they are advising that people get showered and dressed as normal.
I personally wear clothes that I am comfortable in but I was doing before lockdown anyway. I don't think I'd like to be wearing the same clothes all day that I've just slept in.

Never. Ever.
However, it's to do with giving definition and shape to my day, which is crucial to my mental health.

This morning I had got up, washed, dressed, said Morning Prayer, drank a mug of coffee, walked the dog (albeit not far because of the ice rink conditions), washed and dried my hair, put my make up on, and was drinking my second cup of coffee when the Iceland delivery arrived at 05:55.

It just makes me feel good but in no way better than anyone with other choices.

My son and I declared Christmas Day a pj day. Had a shower first thing and put on clean pjs and my long zip up robe. My son had his shower and wore a t shirt and pj bottoms!
Otherwise , smart dressing has gone out of the window - track suit bottoms and a jersey top/t shirt with a cardigan or sweatshirt over the top is my usual wardrobe but see no problem in staying in pjs if it suits you!

I do not have any heating on in my bedroom (OH sleeps in a separate room) and sleep under a summer weight duvet. I wear a sleeveless short cotton nightdress. Most of my family wear nothing in bed.

It depends on my mood some days I think what is the point then another day I get up and get dressed .

Sitting in my PJs now but need to shower before I feel human. I will wear joggers and a jumper. Don't get back into PJs until ready for bed.

I never do, it just doesn’t feel right somehow. I have to walk the dog anyway, but I’m not really a sitting about person, and even at the moment I prefer to feel ready to go, even if it’s only into the garden or to answer the front door. Jeans and a sweatshirt for me.

Has the OP returned yet?

No sign. I don’t understand those who start a thread and never return, but then nor do I understand those who don’t read a whole thread before posting.

No

During my nurse training, in the dark ages, patients were encouraged to wear normal clothes as they progressed through the healing process (none of your same day discharge in those days!). So a wash and into normal clothes was thought to prevent a “patient” mentality and encourage normality. That is ,sloping around feeling ill. For those that chose not to, there was a difference. Barely washed, hair uncombed, tatty old PJ's versus washed, brushed and even lipstick for the women. The washed and dressed certainly seemed more on the mend by their behaviour alone.

I certainly feel as though Ive got a grip on the day once I'm showered and dressed, even if I'm not going out.

Covid hasn't changed my daily routine of coffee in bed before getting up, 20-30min exercise, shower, dress, make-up, perfume, a little jewellery. I just wouldn't feel right if I couldn't have this in my life. I know would quickly become depressed if I stayed in nightwear once out of bed.

I'm no expert on fuel consumption but is it not better to have the heating on in all rooms, at a lower temperature, simply to keep the fabric of the house warm?
