Do you get dressed on your day off?

In My Humble Opinion
61

My family differentiates between naked, wearing something, visible and dressed.

Naked: no clothes on.
Wearing something: the something may be your pajamas, or it may be clothing you’ve put on for spring cleaning and that will go to the trash as the last step thereof. You wouldn’t want to be seen by anybody that wouldn’t see you naked. If there’s a fire you’ll grab a coat before leaving the house, no matter what the temperature is.
Visible: you’d open the door for the postman in whatever you’re wearing but wouldn’t even go to the corner store.
Dressed: to go out. This has several levels as well, but the levels are described by what activity you’ll be doing. Dressed vs dressed to the nines vs at the beach vs…

Dedicated to the people who get dressed specifically for sexy times. Nacha Pop, Vístete, translation mine.

Ten o’clock, get dressed, we’ll never get there.
Got cooler, get warm clothes, I’m impatient to see what will you wear.
Behave.

Six, time for a walk, get set, I’m peckish already
Rags like that one yesterday look good on you; the zipper, I’ll get it
Yes my love I want to see what do you wear
It’s so exciting, it revs me up

Get dressed, still waiting, choose the underwear carefully
Try on what I bought for you, behave

Three, it’s been a good night
Stand up, we can’t do it here
Cover yourself, you’re going to freeze
I’ll wait for the right moment to act

Yes my love, this is delicious, but hotter is better
Get dressed, I’m still waiting, blouse is here, skirt there
Shoes, leather over black silk
Get dressed, I’ll hold, I’m still waiting
I’m at your feet, dress, dress already
Cover yourself, you’re still provocative
Get dressed, get dressed please

I haven’t lived alone since 1989, but back in the day, yes, I got dressed within a couple hours of getting out of bed, if not sooner.

(I define being dressed as: if whatever you’ve got on (plus a pair of flipflops if you aren’t already wearing footwear) is acceptable for pumping gas or going to the convenience store, then you’re dressed. For me, in summer, ‘dressed’ is a pair of cutoffs and a t-shirt.)

Maybe there wasn’t anywhere I had to be, but most places I wanted to be were outside my apartment. If I wanted to go for a bike ride, or get together with friends (no hanging out online back in the 1970s and 1980s!), or do some shopping (Amazon didn’t exist then either), or whatever, it was going to involve getting dressed. So I’d get dressed first, then figure out what I wanted to do with my day if I didn’t already have plans.

If I were living alone now, I don’t know if the fact of the Web would change that or not. It might, because with the Web, there’s a lot more you can do from the comfort of home than you could 25 years ago, and you can be connected with all your friends without leaving the house or spending a lot of time on the phone. But at the same time, I really like being outdoors, and especially during the warmer parts of the year, when early morning is the best time for that. So that’s a factor in favor of getting dressed right off the bat.

I’m not cool with being nekkid even when home alone–don’t wanna get snagged on anythng, and you never know when you might have to step outside on short notice. So, covered for basic decency & comfort, but not usually in anything I’d wear out of the house.

65

I sit around in my bathrobe until after I’ve finished breakfast and my coffee and am ready to take a shower; then I get dressed. Depending on what my plans are for the day - work, shopping, chauffeuring my daughters around, or not even going outside at all - that may be anywhere from 0700 to 1400.

66

I usually sleep in the nude. So when I wake up unless I’m expecting company , I don’t get dressed. My house keeper is used to me not wearing anything when home. She ignores it I think.
My back yard is for the most part pretty private, so I even swim and sit by the pool naked.
I think it’s normal …

67

My teen Latina house servant dresses me. So, on HER day off, I remain uncovered.

68

I don’t live alone, but yes, in general, the spouse and I will remain as we went to bed unless we need to go somewhere.

I do, however, put a shirt on when frying bacon or something.

69

I’m in scrubs for work and they are practically pajamas so the bar for dressing at home is set pretty low. One of the great pleasures in life is removing one’s bra at the end of the day.

I dress in shorts (or panties) & t shirts to do stuff around the house but usually exchange for nicer shorts and T shirt to run errands /leave the house. flipflops are de rigueur for every outfit, the glass slipper of the South. I even have fancier flipflops for dressy wear.

70

Apes make furniture (well, nests at least) and have opposable thumbs.

I have to feed, water, and muck out livestock in the morning and jammies don’t cut it, so I always get dressed, although they are just barn clothes, I wouldn’t even get in a clean car with them on.

71

I always get dressed.

Hiking shoes, jeans, tee-shirt, and fleece top. That is what I wore when I did go ‘into’ work. Now I work from home.

Mind, it’s not ‘work’ clothes. It’s just what I wear every day. No silly dress code at work.

The last time I didn’t get dressed was when I was recovering from hip replacement surgery. Still seemed strange.

72

Currently unemployed, but my previous workplace was quite casual (jeans [or shorts, but I found it too cold] and t-shirt or sweatshirt - maybe a polo)
Which is pretty much what I wear on my days off. If lounging at home it is slippers (LL Bean shearling) unless it is warm enough to go barefoot.

In the morning, I may still be in my PJs, but sooner or later will change into clothes. I normally go to work in good jeans and a collared sweatshirt or polo shirt, or sometimes in khakis and a gingham check shirt. Over the weekend I will wear older jeans and a t-shirt or sweatshirt.

74

You wear hiking shoes in the house?

75

Like this but I prefer long pants, and both the pants and shirts usually have holes in them for ventilation and easy access to itches.

76

I’m retired, so every day is a “day off”. When I get out of bed I put on a pair of drawstring pants and a pocket t-shirt. I change into “real” clothes if I’m going out for things like grocery shopping, doctor appointments, and other occasional errands.

77

Yup. Not full on boots, but good sturdy shoes with support and traction.

In the early morning I will wear sturdy slippers before my shower. Note that the stairs to my loft office are steep. Not quite a ships ladder steep, but steep.

If I need to dash out to my car, I just go. Note that we get 30 feet of snow a year at my house.

Once my wife is home, and we are settled in, I will take the shoes off. If I’m going to be walking around, even in the house, I want shoes on.

78

I sleep in a nice, baggy night shirt and, occasionally, wake up and remain in it all day. This past Tuesday was an E-Learning Day for our school because of the weather. I still had to provide online tech support from home, but that did not require me to be visible to anyone, so It was a night shirt day for me! :slight_smile:

79

I sleep in a comfy shirt and pajama pants.

I also dress that way if I’m just spending the day at home and not going out.

I will, however, take a shower and change at some point in the day (into a different comfy shirt) because I don’t like to smell bad and my hair/skin is naturally very oily, so I feel disgusting if I don’t clean up at some point.

I would have liked to have seen this same question posted in the 1940’s or early 1950’s. My dad was a mechanic. He would come home from work, shower and dress up with a shirt and tie every day. He was promoted to service manage so started wearing a tie to work, then he would come home and sit around in his boxers.
