It is a ongoing argument on GN and elsewhere, whether when women dress, they dress for themselves or really dress to impress others.
I think recent events have been quite illuminating in showing that in fact it varies from person to person. On various threads one group of Gnetters have described how, when at home and not going out they are slobbing out and casting off their bras, getting into pyjamas and other really casual gear, presumably because they only dress to impress and with no one to dress for they do not bother (I exclude those for whom this is how they dress all the time, they fall in the group to be described).
Another group are describing how, even when alone at home they still choose to dress as they always did, including skincare and make-up, showing that this group dresses for themselves and not other people.
I confess I fall in the second group. I am sitting at my desk at the moment, casually and comfortably dressed. with admittedly, not full make-up, but exactly how I would dress if I were leading my usual busy life going to meetings, and social engagements. For me wearing a tracksuit or leisure pyjamas etc during the day is something I only do when I am ill and just too unwell to wear anything else. Bed wear, gets worn only when going to bed or sleeping at night, or when too ill to do anything but stay in bed.
