What do you wear at home in this hot weather?

Light yellow, cotton, sleeveless Next shift, bought at a jumble sale for 50p over 20 years ago. Zip not fully up.

Very old well love fuchsia linen dress, crop top bra and cotton knickers for comfort. I can’t wear no bra or my girls would be peeping out ‘neath my hemline ?

Thin cotton trousers and a thin cotton t-shirt - natural fibres are best in hot weather. Couldn't wear a dress - clammy thighs would be an issue for me

T-shirt and shorts

Esspee, my mum - nearly 83 years old (now RIP) used to have nothing on in the heat. So there is nothing to be ashamed of. She accepted herself, warts, disabilities and all. She was an inspiration to me.

We may be getting older but the inner beauty/hansomeness never dies.

A long kaftan from Morocco, the real thing and nothing else under it.
If you are going to buy a kaftan, make sure it’s 100% cotton for this weather. I have a couple in synthetic or mixed fibres and they will not do at all.

Bra pants and a loose dress!

Like a few others - nothing on at all but keeping a cotton robe to hand in case someone knocks. DH similar except he doesn't fret about anyone coming to the door. Our garden is private but it's too hot out there at the moment. We have doors and windows wide open and the occasional light breeze wafting through is very welcome. Dramatic reduction in washing recently!

Loose sleeveless cotton dress and knickers and at my age, a pad.

Knickers and a loose top. I'm sleeping naked, with a light sheet over me to keep the breeze from the open window off me.

Shopping first thing in maxi cotton dress.

When home I changed into what could grandly be called a djellaba*. I bought three (all colourful cotton, mid/lower calf in length, with elbow length sleeves) from an 'Indian' shop in a nearby town. They were £10-£15 each last year and are beautifully cool, airy and wash well.

I, too, wondered if some smelly old pervert may be enjoying some of our more intimate exchanges! For that reason I won't expressly state what else I am/am not wearing!

I am on our patio under a vast umbrella and have brought out with my our digital barometer. That says the temperature here is 51.7 but has just cut out - overheated! We are south-west facing at this spot.

Mr C is lying prostate (and I had better not tell you what he is wearing lest you have a hot flush). He is in a beautifully cool room with the patio door wide open (and no flies come through whereas in the 'hot rooms' there's almost a queue!).

My GP has just rung to say amongst other things that my blood tests earlier in the week show I am dehydrated, despite my drinking copious amounts of water and being very conscious that at 'our' age, we need to keep hydrated. I mention this as if it has happened to me, it could affect you, too. Keep drinking (water, I mean...!).

*Oh all right, call them kaftans (no so grand...).

A long, loose T-shirt and panties

Today I have the grandchildren so it's cropped trousers, light top, and underwear. If I'm alone it's a long tee shirt and underwear.

That reminds me, I have a sarong. Lovely material but not enough in it to make a proper skirt. I don't have the flat stomach to wear it as simply a sarong. It's had multiple uses over the years.

Oooh, I forgot about my sarongs, I think one of those, worn tied over my bust, would be very cook on a hot day! I’m going to root through my holiday clothes now.

Oops.
Sorry, I didnt realise you had posted there, I wasn't laughing at you.

Loose linen dresses. Lovely and cool, and respectable if someone comes to the door. I have just returned from visiting family in Italy, and I took 8 linen dresses with me.

I find to odd that all you women are quite happy to divulge whether you are wearing underwear or not. One even states that all she is wearing is a hat. I suspect that a lot of men reading these posts will find it all rather exciting to say the least ???

You can't be serious. We're mostly old ladies on here. I'm 73 so the thought of me naked is unlikely to inflame anyone, more likely induce nightmares.

Sarongs rule..and always a sun hat when stepping into garden

A few of you wearing kaftans! Where do you buy them please

There’s a lovely choice of Kaftans on Amazon with a good range of sizes and prices , something to suit everyone .

Nothing unless answering the door.

My kaftan was from coolkaftan.co.uk - according to the label

I went out this morning wearing a nice dress ..returned home and changed into cotton thin straps nightie ...I need to try and make some similar dresses

Nothing , just as nature intended. We ensure there is a sarong to hand if the doorbell rings. And we sit on a towel or sarong for hygiene purposes. Our washing load has decreased a heck of a lot as a result.

Outside in the garden? A sunhat, and sometimes a long sleeved shirt if I'm working in the garden. DH doesn't burn but I do. Again, a towel or sarong to sit on.
