Where did you steal my picture from slowhaggis?
Spy-cam in your house?
I work from home too so tend to wear lounge wear until I go to the gym at lunchtime. Then it's shorts.
Feels weird wearing long trousers now.
Any time of the day if I’m not leaving the house!
I have some delightfully comfortable, black track pants ( which I bought for hernia surgery recovery, honest guv) . Missus J tuts every time I wear them. Which is often.I’m wearing a pair now. 🙂
I don’t own pjs and I don’t get dressing gowns ,unless maybe for a swinging party. 😉
Not sure I know what "loungewear" is.
I assume "track pants" are what we used to call jogging bottoms? The sort of things you can't wear commando without putting everyone off their Sunday lunch.
Yes, if I'm lounging.
I have some George at Asda tartan flannel pyjamas that I wear the bottoms only from, and then for best I have some from Hollister (my only Hollister item FWIW) with Christmas trees on. Coupled with a plain cotton T (L/S sleeved depending on season) and maybe a hoody if proper cold.
Why wouldn't you want to opt for comfort when lounging?
For bed - naked feels good, but as a concession since the wife read about poo crumbs on Mumsnet a pair of pyjama bottoms or shorts is mandated. Not mine I must add....but once the idea was generated she wasn't to be swayed. Usually topless though, unless it's proper cold.
Lounge wear in the evening for me, by the time I’ve got home from work and exercised it’s 7:30pm so it’ll be into a pair of PJ bottoms and a t-shirt, I won’t wear them during the day though.
Sleeping is naked of course.
poo crumbs
WTF are poo crumbs 💩💩
Don't own PJs, trackies, joggers or a dressing gown. When I get changed after work (school) it's ironically usually into workwear trousers/shorts (Dickies, etc.) and a t-shirt.

Wow, that thread is an education! I have never heard of them let alone seen one😂

it’s the sort of thing women answer the door in if you’re a window cleaner or a Millikan or Benny Hill

Shower before bed then, I've always showered at night, never before work in the morning, unless I've been for a run or cycled to work.
Tight decathlon running boxers only in bed, Id be too hot wearing any more.

they’re the reason I wear bicycle clips with my flannel pyjamas when lounging.
Lord have mercy, you lot are strange!
Pyjamas and or lounge wear are entirely acceptable if you're not going out or having visitors over, who gives a crap about what you wear in your own home?
Another who had to get PJ's for hospital. I aquired a few pairs when I was in for over 6 weeks.
Gentleman's nightshirts are the way to go for bed for me but I only put them on immediately prior to retiring for the night.Lovely brushed 100% cotton with fectching blue and white stripes .As soon as I'm up then it's lounge pants,a t shirt and a range of hoodless hoodies/tracksuit tops.If I'm leaving the house then of course I get changed as appropriate to my activity but as soon as I get home for the day/night it's back to my comfy lounge wear which actually would look fine out of the house.
TBH, I wasn't even aware that "loungewear" was a thing. Surely that's just more stuff you need to accumulate as opposed to just wearing some of your normal clothes.
Unless we are going out, we always wear our "comfies" around the house.
ETTO of course but when doing my college work, watching TV or practising on my (music) keyboard I wouldn't dream of wearing a pair of jeans and a polo shirt. I'm currently wearing a pair of Matalan lounge pants and a Mr. Bump T-shirt.
And...slippers.

Poo crumbs, or shit swarf as I call it is the debris field left around the bumhole / biffin's bridge. Could I suggest prevention is better than cure. Rather than wearing boxers / knickers to contain the debris, maybe shower / bathe to remove it.
Just a thought like.
So some of you won’t wear comfortable clothes in the comfort of your own home because reasons. Yet others are incapable of cleaning their own arse to an adequate standard and therefore have to wear clothing in bed in order to contain poo crumbs.
This place is the gift that keeps on giving. WTF is wrong with some of you?
I'm in with the 'nope, I still have some self respect' commenters.
Don't wear PJs, wouldn't be seen dead in jogging bottoms or 'lounge pants'. I work in jeans and a shirt, the short might get switched for a t-shirt when I get in from work but otherwise I'm in the same kit until I go to bed. Why the **** would I go through another set of clothes?
My vocabulary is increasing exponentially this week.
First "lounge pants" and now "poo crumbs".

I'm still coming round to the concept of uncomfortable clothes. Bear with me.

Sit on a grubby seat on a train for two hours where 10,000 arses have sat before wearing god knows what then sit on my sofa in the same trousers? No thanks.The "outdoor" clothes are going in the wash anyway so throw on the lounge wear-which is rotated and washed every other day anyway.
If I’m in the house I’m in my jammy b’s. Many years ago I learned that it is an almost peculiarly British thing to wear your “outdoor” clothes around the house. It is far more comfortable to lounge in loose flannel trousers than in jeans.
other British oddities, loo in the bathroom and washing machine in the kitchen.
Hold on, they're not my poo crumbs. She read about poo crumbs in general and as a result I now am forced to wear shorts in bed. I protested that my ring is crumb free but once she's get an idea about something there's no reasoning.
I don’t care what any of you think 😉
3pm in my house, well as long as we’re not expecting company / going out again.
Mrs started it, she used to finish the early shift about 14:30, she’d be tired and have no intention of doing anything else, and wasn’t about to spend hours in her inform.
We have a few exceptions:
Xmas Day, I don’t dress all day, I don’t care who’s coming it lounge wear all day.
Picking up eldest from parties at night. Yep, I’m that parent in the car in his PJs

Can confirm, he looks comfortable.

First “lounge pants” and now “poo crumbs”.
An old friend always used the term 'bum crumbs'. I think it's far nicer a term than poo crumbs, plus sometimes bum crumbs can simply be lint from clothing, such as you find in your pockets. Poo crumbs is too specific imho.
There are often a few bits of bum lint floating off down the plughole round our way.

But all of us are literally breathing in Mozart's fart in every breath or something. I wouldn't worry about train seats.
Lord have mercy, you lot are strange!
Fortunately, the regulars of STW are a infinitesimally small proportion of the human race and even less of those who ride bikes
However, my favourite threads on here are those relating to clothing and personal fashion, just gotta love a bunch of 40, 50 and 60 somethings getting all street and down with the latest clothing trends, do’s and don’t 🤣
No mention of winnets, dangle berries, clag nuts? Am disappointed..

You don’t wear lounge pants therefore your normal clothes only seem comfortable as you have nothing to compare them against. Untold levels of comfort await you if you’ll just take the first step 😉

Whose are you wearing then? Your wife's?
I wear a tee shirt and loose comfy trousers or shorts around the house, there’s no way I’m going to come home from work and not change into clean gear. The only time I’ve dossed around the house in jammy bottoms and a dressing gown was when I’ve been off work ill.
I have a shower once I get home from work (fabricator so get fairly minging), then usually changed into joggy shorts and a t. I just sleep in a my grundykes, no PJ's.

I checked this out with my 14yr old daughter who confirmed my thinking, you doing that basically places you in the same category as being an actual kiddy fiddler.
Shorts.
Lounge pants.
Joggers.
Big t shirt.
That's my home attire.
Never ever wear pjs in bed. Have not since aged 8.
My house joggers are known as my "traditionals" my wife tried to bin my last pair after a few years but I stood firm.

Impressive as that may be, on possibly a number of levels.... mind bleach, now. Please.
The only dilemma I have about what to wear indoors is - am I likely to go out? to the shop for some mil or something. No way can I go up the Tesco Express wearing jogging bottoms, so I'll sit around in me chinos just in case. I'm sure nobody would even notice if I wore ahem, lounge pants (I have some), shorts (except in summer) or jogging bottoms out of the house, but I still can't do it.
PJs / Jim Jams /Lounge pants .......correct time of day ?
Big fan of the PJ / Loungewear since the first sleepless night with a new baby. Walking the floor at 4 a.m is a much more tolerable experience wearing them than doing it in your scants.
Timing is after the evening shower. That might be 6 pm , might be 11 pm depending on what else is going on.
Never leave the house without proper clothes on . We're not savages.
Cool
Not cool
Please to say I do put "proper" clothes on before any late night child taxi duties.
Surprised how many people seem to live in t-shirts around the house. Either I'm soft for wearing hoodies all the time, or you all have your heating on far too high/often

I'm afraid I suffer from the marriage affliction and have the traditional thermostat battle.
for some mil or something
Too late to edit - that should've ended in a K (not a F) 😀

Your Mother in law will be so disappointed.
Ha!
(Don't you have to be married to have one of those though? 🙂 )
Doesn't necessarily need to be your Mother in Law
