First day of winter clothes: tweed effect leggings, red and black acetate top loosely belted - because - it is so darn cold. I nearly froze in my summer clothes yesterday (jeans, light cotton top and cotton sweater). Four fingers on each hand went yellow-white with the first attack of Reynauds Syndrome of the winter.

This question has just been put to the listeners on Woman's Hour.
I wondered what you were all wearing.
As we are shortly off to see the CG for 2 days then moving onto the New Forest for a week I am dressed in what I would describe as smart casual.
Nice grey/black/silver striped sweater with a slightly nautical feel.
Light grey woolly cotton jacket embellished with an Art Deco style brooch
Dark Grey comfy trousers from M & S - good for the journey.
Purple suede and leather flat shoes from Hotter, can't wear heels now.
Admittedly I am not a fashion icon because comfort is my aim.
Having spent a few hours with my two young boys I will be looking as if I have been dragged through a hedge backwards, as my mother used to say. 
My nightie now because I have been dressed all day. Stupid bras.
But I did have bright flowery pants on, blue t shirt and lace shawl while I went out. But I do like to wear my duvet, from the inside!
Ah! They do sound very cosy but being tall, I suspect I might feel a bit claustrophobic in one!
Plum coloured cotton trousers, toning multi coloured short-sleeved top and emerald green button through cardigan - in a colourful mood today
.
Since retiring I've accumulated a wardrobe full of these sorts of clothes - cotton or linen trousers (polyester and Lycra in the winter), short and long sleeved tops, mostly cotton or cotton mix, and cardigans in various colours. Sweaters for the winter. These are what I wear every day unless an occasion calls for something different, but that is unusual.
This is my first post, I am wearing
Blue jeans
White t shirt
Black leather ankle boots
I am line dancing this morning!
As it is 9.15pm I am in my red spotted stretchy nightie with my feet on my hottie watching the telly.
For the record I only go without a hottie for about 5 days a year 
Khaki cargo trousers, red Craghoppers polo shirt and long navy cardigan. At present, sheepskin slippers and stripey socks. Was wearing navy trainers. Not much coordination there which would normally be anthema to me, but it's Sunday. 
Faded black jeans (dark grey then), thick hiking socks, short-sleeved cotton T, long-sleeved cotton T, cotton fleece 'Montana morning' sweatshirt. All those all day. Now plus a wool shawl round my shoulders, a mohair stole over my knees and a cashmere scarf doubled round my neck. I'll be taking two hot water bottles to bed and I want an electric blanket for my birthday in November.
It has been a really lovely autumn day 
rubysong I'm intrigued......do you wear the nightshirt inside or outside the onesie?? 
I am wearing capri NYDJs with a short sleeved coral flowery Per Una top and navy Clarks sandals, all bought cheaply on Ebay. When the evening gets cooler I shall change into M&S trackie bottoms and zip top with leopard print slippers.
Alea, I am also a fan of Breton tops, have many lightweight and thicker Boden versions, again bought on Ebay.
Oh I liked this thread before and hope to enjoy it again! Just had surprise lunch visit from DD and SIL plus other DD's dog whom they are dog sitting. Wearing dark indigo jeans and a cream and navy striped Breton lightweight sweater. I have 3 of these sweaters from a company called W**lovers , cream and navy, black and cream and French navy and white and have just lived in them this year, as they are perfect for warm Spring days and cool Summer weather.
