Do you love to lounge?

I will admit I love to change into nice comfy loungewear when at home, I have nice fleece lined track suit bottoms and matching top that are like a big warm hug. When I visted a friend the other night I found her still wearing smart day wear which looking terribly uncomfortable for tucking your legs up to watch the telly, and wondered, do you lounge or do you wear your day clothes all day and night??

Pjs and 'oodie' on once it gets dark i like to be comfy in the evening.

I wear yoga-style trousers and top at home. Very comfortable all day and evening. Don’t wear formal clothes at home, or shoes indoors.

No, dont lounge.
Not really sure why.
Perhaps I dont want to get cold to change from daywear, until it's bedtime?

Totally agree bluebell!

I tend to change from regular day wear around 8 pm. Mind you, my day wear is usually jeans and long sleeved tops in winter, short sleeves in spring/summer. I also do a minimum of makeup even when home for the day. No pearls though!

On rare occasions I put sweatpants or leggings on for the whole day. Not very often.

No, I’m in day clothes until I go to bed or into the shower. Jeans and a jumper, or a t shirt depending on the time of year. If I’ve been wearing something smart to go out, I put my jeans on when I get home, they are what I’m most comfortable in. I do wear slippers though, or more often, just socks or bare feet.

Comfort all the way for me. I live in leggings and baggy tops anyway, but can't wait to get my jammies on as soon as I can!

Doodledog Sun 09-Feb-25 21:53:42

Yes, I lounge. At this time of year it's mostly leggings, long jumpers and DMs by day, and pyjamas and slippers at night.

Can’t do it, what would happen if we had a visitor and I was in my nighty with my face scrubbed clean?
Same as I always get up and dress, hair and makeup in the morning, can’t hang around in my night things.
But, to be fair, I’m very comfortable, curled up wearing a stretchy tube skirt, and an oversized warm jumper

No loungewear for me either. But always slippers in the house.

My daytime clothes are comfortable to lounge in, but I am not a lounger or a tv watcher. I prefer to sit on a chair at a table or desk and read. For me lounging is a sign of my ill health.

I don't own any "loungewear"
So no, I'm in my "ordinary" clothes till I go to bed.

Glad I'm not the only one- I was beginning to think I was some kind of freak because I get dressed in a morning and then undressed when I get into bed.

Even during Covid I got dressed every day.

Some people are just... I don't know what to say. My day clothes are pretty comfy. I'd hate to get into bed with clothes on I'd been wearing all day! Ulgh!

I always change after going out even to the supermarket. I put on clothes that my DH used to call 'my scruffs'
Jogging bottoms and a t shirt or jumper that may have seen better days but are comfy and I don̈t mind if I splash them or drop something on them. My current hobby is painting so am quite likely to get some on my clothes. They are clean but old and comfy.

I’m another one who doesn’t have what you all call lounge wear.

I am also too much of a fidget to sit around for too long!

You would if you only had heat in one room 🤣

I find lounging takes too much effort.
My friend gets her blanket, puts her pjs on, has a book, and her cat, makes a cup of tea and puts a film on...

Allira Sun 09-Feb-25 22:49:16

I don't change into loungewear.
But then perhaps my usual day-time wear is more comfy than smart and uncomfortable.

The only time I might wear pjs and a dressing gown is if I'm feeling unwell but not ill enough to stay in bed.

I love to lounge .We eat dinner about 6ish and then it's into PJs and a lovely cosy fleece hoodie if we're in for the night.Plus some cosy sliper socks.Bliss.But in the mornings I'm up and fully dressed. I can't do chores or get going if I'm still in nightwear.

Doodledog Sun 09-Feb-25 23:00:28

I don’t think I own ‘loungewear’. I just wear comfortable clothes most of the time, and am happy to lounge in them.

If anyone called uninvited they would have to take me as they found me. Until bathtime it would be legging/jeggings and a long jumper, which is perfectly respectable I think grin. If my scrubbed face upset them I could offer to put a bag over my head. I am not sitting in my own house in uncomfortable clothes on the offchance that someone takes it upon themselves to drop in.

escaped Sun 09-Feb-25 23:00:43

No, I keep my day clothes on until bedtime.
I'm often out in the garden with the dogs late in the evening so prefer to be fully dressed.

Allira Sun 09-Feb-25 23:23:37

People do tend to drop in unexpectedly when I'm having a bad hair day.
In fact, every day's a bad hair day unless I tame it, otherwise I look like Worzel Gummidge, minus the hat.

Since Covid we baton down the hatches by 6.30pm. Change into our fleece pj bottoms but I always wear t-shirt & cotton hoodie. Incase I am called out in an emergency.
Bed time I change again into a cotton nightgown as I couldn’t where fleecey clothes to bed, I’d be wet through.
My mum on the other hand will be up, fully dressed until 10 pm. She wouldn’t dream of sitting around in her dressing gown. I personally wouldn’t feel comfortable sitting scrunched up on the couch wearing jeans. Now I would draw the line of going to the shop in my pjs, which I have seen many times 😩

In fact, I heard that our local Tesco’s has banned anyone entering the store to shop, if they are wearing pyjamas.
