What do you wear at home in this hot weather?

?? I think we all think that but if we are comfortable, that’s what counts grannyro .

Yes I wear a thin beach dressbut I do live in fear that someone will pop round and I won't be able to get my bra on in time! (I could scar them for life!)

A very old black/flowery full length sleeveless satin night tonight. So comfy.

A sleeveless cotton nightdress on hot summer days from about 6 pm until 9 the following morning . I am a lazy person .

I don't know what it says about me but I can't bear having no knickers on - night and day! It just feels wrong

It says you don’t like going commando. I don’t either! I might not wear pj trousers but I always wear knickers or pants.
It’s one of those things that comes down to personal choice. Neither choice is right or wrong.

this weekend I wasn't working and everyone I know is away, I've had lots of jobs to do in the house so I knew no-one was going to see me, I've been walking around barefoot in the same baggy nightie and no knickers all weekend and its been bliss

Cotton nightie that looks like a sundress. Only one item to wash ?

I have two of these, but needless to say they don’t look quite the same on me as they do on a 5’ 11” size 8 model!
Very loose and cool in light pure cotton, though.

A few people have mentioned sarongs. Apart from underwear (bra a must; knickers indispensable - doesn't anyone else sweat down there?) I have a simple sort of sarong.

When I was in the sixth form I had a Saturday job in a draper's and we would have called it a yard and a half of double width. Basically a 1.5m square hemmed on the two edges which are not selvages.

I have a couple of these in lovely cotton prints. When the kids were small they were invaluable on holiday - as a tablecloth, a sheet to sit babies on on the beach, as a sling to carry babies, as a shopping or tote bag, or a skirt or a dress for me.

Nowadays they still serve at home for a quick cover up, knotted just over the breasts, but I have ballooned a bit and have to hold the edges together if I've put it on to answer the door.

Crikey. I haven’t been abroad for a holiday for years but I’d forgotten that I had those ankle length wraparound skirts that I used to put on when I came off the beach. I’m going to dig them out of the wardrobe! Mind you it’s supposed to be raining tomorrow! Thanks for that.

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 ???

HI,

It does make me laugh, thinking of anyone needing a bit of a thrill that the first place to look would be GN. If they have access to GN then they probably have access to on line porn sites.

There could also be women reading this who might find it all rather exciting, too.

Honestly, in this heat, thinking of all that moist skin does nothing at all for me. But it is a good job we are all different.

Usual loose cotton top an trousers, ditto. Got to go out later today. I want to wear a floaty sleeveless dress but do not want to show my arms. I usually wear a T shirt underneath but the white one is in the wash.

What to wear on my feet is my problem. Probably have to wear shoes to drive in, with sandals to change into, so just those those foot things made of tights fabric, to avoid chafing. What are they called?

We used to say, It's snowing in Paris, if your slip was showing.

We used to say Charlie’s dead, probably not a good thing to say nowadays but we were schoolkids.

I'd be interested in knowing how the oodie fares in your test, please.
I've half considered getting one myself.

It arrived today, love it already! OK, on me, size 24/26, the one size Oodie is not as loose as it would be on a slim person but still baggy and comfy. The fabric appears to be good quality, made from bamboo cotton and feels cool to the touch. I like the pockets which will be useful if I wear it during the day lounging on the settee.

Downside is that washing instructions say hand wash - that ain’t going to happen but I reckon a delicate cycle at 30 degrees is pretty much the same as hand washing it.

I did hand wash it today then just did rinse and spin and hung it up to dry in my bathroom. As I didn’t wash it until early evening it wasn’t quite dry enough to wear tonight so I’ll try it in bed tomorrow.

I paid £39 plus postage as I chose a design that was reduced by £30 but I still think it was expensive but I felt like I needed a treat!

For me, overweight, has to be loose thin cotton . I find it hard to find pure thin cotton in New Zealand. Otherwise a long dress and bare feet.

Years ago I bought some loose quite see through cotton tops. So I’m wearing a vest in the house with cotton loose pyjama bottoms. If I go out I put one of the cotton tops over the t shirt and change the pyjamas for short leggings. Even so I’m struggling to function. I don’t know how people are managing to work in this heat.

Isn't it strange?
Such a short time ago, but all very hush hush!

An ancient cheesecloth sleeveless dress with a handkerchief hem liberally embroidered with flowers, that should have been thrown out many years ago, plus bra and knickers. I look like a particularly withering flower child, but have resisted the temptation to make myself a flower coronet.This week my husband has had to answer the door while I hastily change into something more appropriate for my years - but it is the coolest thing I own.

Espee/Paddyanne54 I thought you might find this interesting. It is from February, in the Herald.

Big girl cotton pants, a bra, to prevent the boobies from drifting to my naval and what I call my ‘summer sack’, a crinkle cotton loose strappy dress. Very comfy.

Right now I am just wearing a pair of knickers and am sat in front of a fan drinking a gin and tonic! I will pop my short nightie T-shirt top on before I settle down.

I’ve just ordered an Oodie T-shirt nightie, one size, very baggy made from bamboo and cotton. Rather expensive but I chose a design that was in the sale and it was a very hot night, I could not sleep and my credit card was too close! I’ll let you know what it’s like!
