The ultimate WFH wear.
Fair enough, you'd not want to be seen in public wearing them!

The ultimate WFH wear
Not a hill i'd be dying on
I loved my Tracksters,but they were never* worn anywhere other than commuting rides.
Had a pair of the lurid bright green ones and I am sure it warded off the SMIDSY crowd during the dark months. 🙂
*Very,very occasionally when hill walking.
the question is, foot loops on or foot loops off?
TBF, working from home and only visible on a camera from the waist up is probably the most appropriate place for wRong Hills.
I like wearing dungarees when WFH, especially if it’s cold.
With a hoody on top you can’t even tell they’re dungs, but very comfy and warm!
I bought my first pair last year. For commuting, hoping they'd be as good as Endura Multi tights.
Don't really wear them. They have no wind resistance, so when it is too cold for shorts, it's too cold for the Tracksters also.
They work well as an extra layer when it's really cold either beneath rain trousers or lightweight windproof trousers (Decathlon XC Ski trousers).
The Endura multi tights work well when it's too cold for shorts, they're also slightly baggy plus the ankle zips broke, so I don't look like an lycra lout. Random generic shorts over the top for pockets.

They still look as good as ever…
Specsavers. Just saying.....
I used to live in them in the 80's and, tbh until more recently than I'd like to admit. Well not live in them, but deffo for running, cycling, hill walking etc. And slobbing around the house. Relentless mockery from my kids finally did for them.
When I was a young squaddie, there was a very accurate stereotype of a typical army wife. Pushing a pram whilst wearing Ronhills, their hubby's squadron sweatshirt and white stilettos 😆
I met Ron a few times. He was guest speaker at one of our running club presentation evenings. When he was at his peak he was very fond of wearing a string vest. I’m hoping the OP is too.
I used to but my Ronhill stuff from the shop in Hyde. Great for rock climbing and fell running. Still have loads of stuff from donkeys years ago in great nick.
@slowoldman I once beat Ron at Rivi Pike fell race in Horwich. I was delighted. He was about 20 years older than me mind!

1. Who doesn't have a pair at the bottom of the pile.
2. They are warm enough without being thick.
3. They are stretchenough and the footloops stop them rucking up when you sit cross legged or kneel and other fidgeting i do on a tedious call.
4. The wast pand isn't daft.
5. Noone can see them.
6. Back to the footloops and the general close fitting... You canpull trousers over the top without having to sort a bunched up leg at the knee. Boom warm dog walking set up and normal appearance for the doggers.
7. They are loose enough that you don't look full pervert if someone happens to catch a glimpse of you.
8. They fit over your socks but under your big slipper socks
8b. Which means you can stuff the whole lot in a croc for a wander to the shop*
9. They have a sewn in crease to keep it formal without having to starch them.
*This happened, shits given 0.

Want to repeat that to one of my university course mates who went byb the nickname 'Buster' and permanently wore Ron Hills or power stretch tights for full effect...

For a 24 can case of wife beater?
Today i learned that hilly socks are also a Ron Hill enterprise.
Weirdo.
I don't even know what they are. Can someone please enlighten me? Like @nerd I'm a fan of the dungarees for slouching about and wearing under a hoody.
But dungerees under a hoody is too much faff for doing a poo surely?
You know what ronhills are funkmasterP.
Just imagine your PE teacher the one day his shorts were in the wash.
I was doing OK but

has killed me.
Unlike Funkmasterp I'm of the generation which means that this whole thread has made sense to me
4. The wast pand isn’t daft.
Except that bit. What on earth does that mean?

I am younger than fmp ?
The wasteband is sufficiently elastic to not require significant tying.

I'm 47 but all I'm getting is jodhpurs from the descriptions so far. Dungarees are a faff when it comes to having a poo, that is true.
What's wrong with joggy bottoms anyway?
Or do Ronhills predate them?
Surely the classic sweatpants as worn by Rocky Balboa are the pinnacle of below the waist home working attire.
Just Googled it. They were worn by one of my PE teachers ? they've just Jodhpurs bit with a stripe and a new name so as not to offend 1980's ultra masculine middle school PE teachers.
As we're confessing, I had a pair of Ron Hill "bikesters", I think in a winter weight material?
Tracksters were great. The original ones were best. They changed the material at some point and I didn’t like them as much.
I used to unpick the creases on some of mine.
You could wear two pairs in the cold and two pairs of old ones with holes in different places to avoid skin showing in lectures.
My modern equivalent is a similar thing from Alpkit. I think they are called Koulin? They may even look worse on me.
Just imagine your PE teacher the one day his shorts were in the wash.
The headmaster having to explain "thats not what 'stripped to the waist' means" ?
I still own a pair of the blue ones with red piping from the early nineties. Wear them under my ski trousers and for winter running. Being 59 means I’m invisible to the general public so I can get away with it!
My Alpkit bouldering (WFH, never seen a wall) trews have just ripped in the arse. As a 43 year old, by halfway down I was thinking 'are these just joggers? Maybe they'd suit the call-in-the-morning/run-at-lunchtime requirement?' Then I saw a picture.
More bouldering pants ordered.

I have never in my life worn more than one pair of trousers at a time. What a silly idea.

Doubling up on trousers is a brilliant idea. Flexibility, warmth when needed. I thought everyone does it.
I used to wear them into school on INSETdays, mostly to annoy/ provoke Brenda, the head of music. She threatened to 'report me' but never did.
I prefer them with unstitched seams tbh.

Just the thought of it makes me uncomfortable.
Why do you need trousers on when working from home?
