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??

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.

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.

Totally agree bluebell!

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

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.

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

A lounge suit very similar to yours Babs

If you mean joggers and top, yes, I do

Yes, by lounge wear I include any combo that is comfy and loungy. My OH prefers joggers and a rather tatty old sweatshirt.

Shoes off at the door as well and slippers on. Can't understand people who clomp around in shoes indoors.

My day time clothes are perfectly comfortable for putting my feet up so all I change usually is my footwear for some cozy slippers.

I don't have any PJs 🫣 or lounge wear. If I'm honest I've never really understood lounge wear, I think I must have been skiving off when that memo came out.

Yes come 6 pm curtains closed and trackies on snd most important of all BRA OFF

I live in my 'comfies' all day anyway. I occasionally change into something marginally smarter for special outings.

I'm afraid there isn't much distinction between lounge wear and day wear for me. No shopping in PJ's though.

TerriBull Sun 09-Feb-25 20:13:38

We've just got in from a late Sunday lunch with family. Lounge wear on straight away.

Funny how times have changed. My mother was always well turned out. A tweed skirt, woolen top or blouse. A nice little gold link watch, earrings, makeup, stockings and court shoes. In later life Marks and Spencers trousers and a Windsmoor coat.

She wouldn't be impressed by my appearance.

Yes my old mum would be wearing her tartan pleated skirt and cashmere navy jumper with a single string of pearls, lipstick at the ready in case someone knocked. We joked that she put on her lippy to put the washing out. She was a good looking woman till the day she died and took great pride in her appearence. She would only change into a nylon nightie at bedtime worn with a purple velvet dressing gown.

I have a friend who drives round to spend the evening in pjs & dressing gown, & brings slippers. I’m usually in tracksuit bottoms, cosy jumper and slippers. I couldn’t relax in daytime clothes once home for the evening, but never get into pjs until bedtime.

Millie22 Sun 09-Feb-25 20:06:54

I certainly do!

As soon as I’m in for the night, it’s a quick shower then into either dressing gown or a onesie……
The minute I’m in the door, it’s shoes off slippers on

Yes, I change into my comfies which , depending on the temperature outside, can be an oodie, or fleecy pyjamas with a snowman, or woolly jumper and leggings or a long cashmere nightie. I love to lounge.

SueDonim Sun 09-Feb-25 19:41:24

No, I’m keen on loungewear. It makes me feel I’m recovering from an illness, tucked up on the sofa, like when I was a child! My daytime clothes aren’t formal, though, jeans and jumpers mostly.

Ziggy62 Sun 09-Feb-25 19:37:58

In the autumn/winter I change into my pj's at about 4pm, occasionally earlier. If im not working I will wear pj's in the morning until I've finished housework

GrannyIvy Sun 09-Feb-25 19:36:52

Yep love to change into my Fatface pyjama bottoms and a fleecy top from late afternoon onwards in this cold weather.

Benid0rmbelle Sun 09-Feb-25 19:35:53

No worries about anyone visiting, weekends or evenings, so I pop on my p.js. by 6pm , and Snuggle into my cosy chair to relax.
