For those who live alone (or have lived alone before). Preferred state of (un)dress?

I picked “fully clothed” (from back in my living-alone days), though “fully clothed, casual” would be more like it, and if I had the luxury I could hang around in underwear for a good long time after waking up.

I work from home so I sit around in my jammies all day. Then I will change into gym clothes or work clothes depending on my post-work duties. Then I’ll shower and put my jammies back on. If it’s warm I sleep in the nude but if it’s cold I sleep bundled up.

I went on vacation for a week and I was all “man, it’s really hard to pack different clothes to wear every day!” Where vacation means NOT sitting around in your jammies!

I prefer an old T-shirt, especially a stained one, and one of two pairs of comfy, loose, elastic-waist shorts that I’ve had for years. While that’s considered fully clothed, I don’t wear that outfit outside the house except to take the dog out back or maybe to take out the trash. I do not like to wear “real” clothes inside the house once I’m in for the day. Also, no shoes. Hate wearing shoes in the house.

Depends entirely on the season. In winter, I would wearing underwear, flannel pajamas, woolen bathrobe, slippers. On a hot summer day, just underpants, nothing else. In between, I will be somewhere in between.

Clothes:
Once I’m home for the night I’m in a t-shirt and shorts/pants (depending on the weather). Underwear, but no bra. Usually the t-shirt I’m wearing is the one I’m going to sleep in, so it’s often a little on the ratty (but clean) side. (Not one I’d wear in public. But I don’t go out in public without a bra, either.) The shorts I’m wearing around the house these days are kind of ratty, too.

Shoes:
I’m usually barefoot at home, but will wear socks in the winter. I keep a pair of shoes by the back door for going out into the yard with the dog, and for wearing in the laundry room.

Other:
I also take out my contact lenses and put glasses on, and wipe any remaining makeup off my face.

I keep most of my blinds closed at night, and I never answer my door when I’m not expecting someone.

I work from home and adore my fluffy robe - one of those really expensive, you-can’t-believe-how-good-it-feels-on robe. It takes effort to get out of it.

But when I know I’ve got serious work to do (I make jewelry), I’ll put clothes on to solder. But the writing work I do is done in my robe or in the nude – like I am now… From bed for a few hours every morning.

During the work week, the same clothes I wore to work. Jeans, casual shirt or tee-shirt, running shoes or hiking boots if in winter. Almost always a fleece vest too. If I end up working out, I change to shorts and a tee and running shoes.

On weekends, I’ll wear sweatpants and a tee-shirt when I just first get up. I’ll check e-mail and a few preferred websites and then get showered. Then it’s jeans and tee-shirt time. I’ll often where more beat up jeans if I’m going to work around the house. Or shorts if it’s summer.

Don’t like not being dressed, and it’s never really warm enough anyway.

Fully clothed, although I might get to that state a little later in the day with no one around. If you don’t get dressed, then any errand you decide you want to do has 'get dressed and . . . ’ stuck onto the front of it.

This thread is worthless without pictures.

if it is cold, robe and fluffy slippers :smiley:
if warm, skin is good: I drape towel over chairs for comfort.

I’ve got a couple pairs of loose, cotton shorts that I wear when no one else is around. This is Florida, it’s hot, wearing less cuts my cooling bill. They barely stay on me because the elastic is getting old, but I’m alone - who cares if my ass hangs out when I walk around? I’d just go naked, but I don’t like to sit bare on the furniture.

Friends who know me will frequently yell something like “put on clothes!” or “cover your ass” when they knock on the door, because they know I might as well be wearing a loin cloth.

From after work to bedtime – fully clothed.

From waking up until going outside – sleepwear, possibly with a robe.

Fully clothed or a bathrobe. If it’s sunny, just shorts. I have a roommate now though.

It’s dependent on the time of day for me. If it’s before 8 or 9, I like being in my PJs. 10 is kind of a borderline time - too late in the morning to really be considered early enough to be in pajamas (in my mind), yet not quite 11, which is when some people start eating lunch. Anytime after 11 and I need to be wearing at least some yoga pants if I’m cleaning. If I’m not, then jeans or khakis are preferable. After 8 or 9, it’s back to PJs.

Keep in mind, this is on weekends. On weekdays, it’s fully clothed by 6:30; work clothes after, usually until kids are in bed; then exercise clothes until after I’ve worked out (I finish around 10:30); then PJs.

Fully clothed, though that just means a t-shirt and sweat pants. If I go out, I upgrade to a pair of jeans.

I’ve got big feet and I’m uncoordinated, so I stub my toes a lot. So shoes stay on. And if shoes stay on, you can pretty much book it that everything else stays on. So, fully clothed.

Bottom underwear at a minimum usually, often paired with a camisole (either a PJish one or a regular cotton one) or a tshirt. Probably won’t bother to take my bra off if I’ve come home, but won’t bother to put one on unless I’m going out (and might skip it, if I’m just walking to the store). I have a robe (technically, a yukata) hanging on the back of my bedroom door in case I need to answer the door to get a package or something.

Barefoot, 100% of the time, unless I’m living somewhere with hardwood floors, in which case I may wear slippers to walk around. *Never *just wearing socks unless I’m only ditching my shoes for ~5 minutes for some odd reason. Although in the winter, I *may *wear those superinsulaty sock-like slipper things with the treads on the bottom.

When I lived alone,I was usually fully clothed, except for shoes and socks. I have might lounged around in my robe for an hour or two in the morning on my days off, but I always got dressed after that.

I sais other because I prefer all of the other options depending on the situation. Just gotten out of the shower and towelled off? Run around nekkid until I’m completely air dry. Already dressed from going out? Stay that way until a need arises to change clothing condition.

First thing I do when I get home from work is rip off all my clothes and put on my jammies, which are either a nightgown in the winter or a cami and sleep shorts in the summer. On the weekends it’s shorts and a t-shirt in the summer and leggings and a sweatshirt in the winter. It always cracks me up on TV when the police show up at someone’s door and that person is very nicely dressed and, if a woman, wearing full make-up. That’s soooooooo never going to happen at Casa Surly.

ETA: Never, ever any shoes or socks. If it’s really cold, I might be wearing my fuzzy slippers.
