What do you wear at home in this hot weather?

I’m asking what you put on when you know that you’re not going out and no one is coming round! I have four loose midi cotton dresses with thin straps, and that’s it. No underwear, just one garment. A clean one every day, but it’s certainly cut down on the washing. It’s not a pretty sight but I’m as cool as is possible. I also keep a spray bottle in the fridge full of water and some 4711 cologne, remember that? Spray face and arms. Cold shower before bed and no nightie.

I too have about 4 strappy midi and maxi dresses I wear. No bra.

Norah Wed 10-Aug-22 21:05:54

Underwear, jeans, top, trainers.

Patsy70 Wed 10-Aug-22 19:53:59

Shorts and a loose top. I spend much of my time in the garden and would love tanned legs!

I wear sleeveless Jersey dresses with underwear also I like to wear knee length leggings under them that way if I am out the garden and bend down I don't show my underwear to the world , we only have a low walk between us and the road.

Cut down trackie bottoms - just below my knee - t shirt and knickers. Just about to wrestle my pull on bra off! Animal flip flops.
Sleep in knickers and vest top - unless it's very cold that's what I sleep in all year round.

BlueBelle Wed 10-Aug-22 19:18:52

Same as what I go out in sleeveless tops, midi shorts, white trainers

Cornflower Wed 10-Aug-22 19:10:42

Pants, bra, shorts and sleeveless or short-sleeve top. With thin comfortable Falke ankle socks to keep my feet comfortable.

rubysong Wed 10-Aug-22 18:44:25

Sandals, pants, shorts, vest type thing. Sometimes a bra. Shower in the evening then loose kaftan, sleeveless cotton nightie to sleep in.

Fleurpepper Wed 10-Aug-22 18:22:52

Thin, loose cotton just under knees shorts and lose cotton t-shirt. If I am at home or with friends, sleeveless, if I go out, short, lose sleeves. Flat but shaped sporty sandals.

Jeggings/skirt with short sleeve/sleeveless T-shirt or camisole, plus underwear. Flipflops or sandals. Shorts if I'm in the garden maybe. I prefer covering up when in the sun, it feels cooler than having hot sun on my skin. We're lucky that the house never gets hot downstairs so we hide inside if it gets too hot outside.

At night knickers and T-shirt.

I hope you’re wearing Chanel no5 Esspee (and sunscreen).

Grandmabatty Wed 10-Aug-22 18:14:16

I am well constructed and therefore I need a bra to avoid the under boob sweat. I wear shorts and a loose t shirt

maddyone Wed 10-Aug-22 18:12:12

Bra, knickers, shorts, vest/sleeveless top. Flip flops.
Very loose cool pyjamas in the evening, night, and early morning. No dressing gown.
Just been out for afternoon tea to celebrate our anniversary and I wore bra, knickers, sleeveless and cool dress, sandals.

Hopikins Wed 10-Aug-22 18:00:10

Kaftan, I have just ordered two more. So comfortable

M0nica Wed 10-Aug-22 17:51:24

Same as I always wear. Pants, bra, trousers and sleeveless top. I never wear uncomfortable clothes, so feel no need to dress differently if home alone.

Judy54 Wed 10-Aug-22 17:15:06

Cropped trousers and a vest top (no bra). Can get away with it around the house but definitely would not go out dressed like this!

SusieB50 Wed 10-Aug-22 16:35:45

I have two linen dresses I bought years ago that I’m wearing alternately and washing each day with cotton knickers and an old cotton sports bra with just a little bit of support left ! . Can’t do without underwear I’m afraid . All my blinds, doors and windows are closed and have been since 7.30am . I opened everything at 6.30 and let all the cool air in , it’s 24 C inside and 29c in the shade outside ? Getting a bit tired of this now, not even enjoyable outside in the garden under the umbrella, as our garden faces south west and is like a furnace .

SunshineSally Wed 10-Aug-22 16:34:23

Currently knee length dress, bra and pants, BUT, I am just about to succumb to a loose flowing kaftan (I have 6) and nowt else! ??

Bazza Wed 10-Aug-22 16:31:16

Esspee, is that all?!

Cabbie21 Wed 10-Aug-22 16:27:03

Loose t shirt, loose cotton trousers( with a hole in! ) usual underwear. Socks and shoes as I have been gardening and driving at times. Relaxing now in the coolest room with the fan. Windows and curtains shut on the sunny side.

Blossoming Wed 10-Aug-22 16:20:10

A knee length linen shift dress bought from Boden years ago. So loose and comfy.

merlotgran Wed 10-Aug-22 16:18:51

Linen cut offs. Loose fitting cotton shirt, no bra and flip flops.

Esspee Wed 10-Aug-22 16:14:57

Right now I'm on a small boat on Loch Lomond. I'm wearing a sunhat.

shysal Wed 10-Aug-22 16:12:30

Capri 'magic' pants and lightweight tops, always with underwear! I live in a terrace of houses so can be seen in my garden from the neighbouring windows. Gone are the days when I would lie out in a bikini!

HowVeryDareYou Wed 10-Aug-22 16:05:32

Bra, knickers and a sleeveless, loose dress. Every window in the house open. Knickers at night and a loose camisole top
