Do you keep separate clothes for house and garden chores?

Well I have every day clothes if I’m going nowhere and will do whatever is necessary in them, garden, housework or just walking so they are sort of presentable. Then clothes I wear if I’m going somewhere particular not really posh but a bit more special than everyday.

I do keep a set of clothes for decorating, washed regularly but covered with paint.

And as tanith says, everyday clothes for gardening and house chores, but will change to go out.

Sort of, but then I find dirty marks on something “decent” …
DM always had “good” clothes so maybe I’m rebelling (aged 68!)?

No I get dressed in whatever and do what I need to do during the day be it house work gardening shopping if I was going out to lunch I might change but otherwise my daywear is my daywear

No. I wear the same.

No but if I go in the garden I put rubber boots on and take my shoes off. Don’t want to get bitten. I wouldn’t wear good evening clothes in the garden.

DH, bless him, kept paint trousers - only thing was he’d never painted anything for 25 years! Kept them - just in case though.
He took a car battery off once in his best Levis and they ended up in holes.
He did keep scruffy jeans for mowing the lawn though - but I think it was just to ‘look the part’.

I have a set of clothes for house work days and the odd bit of gardening. Comfortable leggings and loose top to move around in, OK to get marked by cleaning products etc.

Yes, I have a drawerful. It is an excuse to wear old but comfortable jeans and baggy scruffy jumpers and T shirts Ii am particularly fond of, and I wear them under the impression they make me look like Barbara Good.

Yes! I look a total rag bag when I’m gardening, I even have a boiled wool jacket that I have had for donkeys years to wear when it’s cold like today. Just come in to chat to son (with covid) on phone and have coffee.

My gear to do housework in is the same. There is no way I could wear it to a restaurant, theatre etc

Yes, I've clothes for dog walking, exercise, gardening, painting, dirty work apart from clothes I wear all day. Church clothes as well.

Yes. I have indoor clothes and clothes for going out in. I change my clothes quite often, which even irritates me at times so I wish I didn't feel always compelled to.

I usually wear the same, but have a heavy duty denim apron for cleaning and a gardening apron, gardening shoes and tatty old fleece for extra warmth in the garden when gardening.

No, I wear what I wear, I do change shoes for gardening, but that’s it.

I'm the same henetha but I make such a mess of my indoor clothes I couldnt go out in them. Food splashes, bleach, animal hair etc. I am quite clumsy so spill things a lot.

And me, sodapop. I've often got spills of some sort on me, hence the continual changing! I drive myself mad with it!

Yes separate clothes for housework and days I stay indoors. Tend to mostly wear casual clothes and have some lovely dressy outfits which I don't get to wear much these days. I am thinking about starting to wear some of these special clothes more rather than them languishing in the wardrobe.

I wear old jeans and T shirts/jumpers for gardening and decorating which means I live in them!!

I have scruffy comfortable “house clothes” that I feel embarrassed to be seen in if anyone comes unexpectedly.

I have walking clothes to wear when we do our (almost!) daily 4/5 mile walk

Then I have “posher” clothes for shopping and going out in

Yes, my jeans start off smart and get relegated as they get scruffier, ending up as decorating clothes if I haven’t ripped or gone through the knees in the garden. I wear an old sweatshirt or fleece for cleaning in, as I always seem to get stuff on the sleeves. I’ve also got a disgusting old jacket for the garden which has bonfire spark holes on it.

I've just been sorting out, inspired by a couple of threads on here, and three out two pairs of jogging bottoms with a couple of bleach spots and paint. However - I might retrieve them from the rag bag, you never know when they might come in handy.

My 'house clothes' would be ok for a trip to the supermarket but not for going out for lunch with friends

threw out, not three out

Don't really like to tell but I've become a bit of a slob.For years hubbie has worn PJ bottoms when were at home so I thought if you cant beat them join them and wear a nice comfy nighty or PJ's.

Not any more. I have some old shirts I use to cover up if I am painting and some old gardening shoes but other than that I refuse to keep clothes for 'best' or going out. Obviously there are a few things that are for more formal events that won't get worn every day.
