Really, what are you wearing? Give circumstances (time, place, etc.) Me? I’m wearing strip-ed short-shorts and a tank top. These are my pajamas, since it’s 11:40 PM here. I’m about to watch Scarface and then go to bed. How 'bout you? ---

It’s 10:44 p.m., I’m home, and I’m in my usual outfit of blue jeans, short-sleeved knit shirt (this one’s blue), white athletic socks. Sometimes for variety they’re gray athletic socks. ---

A pair of grey cotton boxers. The Dodgers are on TV, I have a glass of bourbon in hand and cats in lap. Life is good. ---

Underwear, t shirt, socks, steel toed boots, flame proof coveralls. I’ve just taken off gloves, ear plugs, hard hat and protective eye wear. I’m at work on an oil rig in Azerbaijan. That should skew the demographics 😛 ---

I only got dressed today because I needed cigarettes and my roommate had a couple of people over for a bit earlier and I didn’t want to face either in pajamas. Jeans, black Beatles t-shirt (a very cool one I got at a store called Beatles for Sale at St. Louis Union Station) and a baseball cap from my college. My hair takes too long to do. ---

> [@alice\_in\_wonderland](#): > > Nothing. Cite? :dubious: I’ll need to see a photograph. Seems I’m wearing Ex Officio tonight: khaki trousers and a medium-blue shirt. I was wearing zoris, but took them off when I got back to the apartment. I met my g/f for dinner. ---

It’s 11:30 PM on a Saturday night. I may be going out for a few beers with a friend later this evening. As such, I’m hipstered out - Guinness t-shirt, carpenter jeans and flip-flops. Blue Hawaiian-pattern boxers underneath. ---

Mismatched socks, white boxers, jeans, a belt and a dark blue T-shirt. On top of all that I have a black long sleeved shirt and this huge grey overshirt abomination that’s four sizes too large for me, ripped and stained with paint. I love it to death. I am at home. It’s 11:33 PM here and I’m about to get out of my hobo-garb and into a nice hot bath, followed up by a great, big, proper mug of tea and s’more quality time on the Internet. ---

A pair of scrub bottoms, a T-shirt, and an old sweatshirt. I’m just about to go to bed. ---

10:44 PM Central time. I’m wearing what I wore to go shopping today: Dark blue cotton short-sleeved shirt w/button-down collar, green khaki shorts (they’re a bit too long, I don’t like 'em, white atheletic socks. No shoes at the moment. ---

It’s almost 12:30 on Saturday night/Sunday morning, and I’m in the same shorts & a t-shirt that I’ve been wearing all day. It’s also the same t-shirt that I slept in last night, and will sleep in again tonight (but tomorrow it goes in the hamper). Of course, I did not leave the house at all today. 🙂 ---

Grass-stain green cotton maternity pants (no, I’m not pregnant, I just get a great discount at the baby/maternity store that I work at, so why not? They’re comfy!) and a navy novelty T-shirt that my husband got me for my birthday that says (in cheesy, yellow, pixellated computer-style font): “All your base are belong to us.” Naturally, the back says “Someone set us up the bomb.” with a little bomb wingding at the end. Har har har. It really confused the pizza guy. I’m just sitting here at my computer. Got bored while browsing for clothes. I worked all day, so I’m wiped out. Mostly I’m starting to think about heading to bed, since I have to work tomorrow, too. Really, really looking forward to Monday, which is when my “weekend” begins. I want to work on my book. I love my job, but I’m a writer at heart. Basically I got home, took a long bath, and threw on the first comfy clothes I could get my hands on. Ahhh. ---

Sexy black lace lingerie and high-heel stilettos, baby. 😉 In seriousness: a ratty old pair of jeans that I don’t have the heart to throw away and this one blue T-shirt that I love because it really brings out my eyes (I need to find something else this exact shade, I swear). Barefoot, no jewelry, just kicking back at the computer and relaxing. ---

12:11 AM CST. Undies, oversized gray t-shirt and gray shorts. It’s what I’ve been wearing most of the day (though I did put on socks, shoes, and bra to go to the store earlier.) ---

I’m wearing nothing but thin cotton drawstring pajama trousers with pictures of Bugs Bunny looking mischevious (pissed off, actually), and the caption 'Who’s your Bunny?" It’s 10:30pm Saturday and I got out of the shower, into the pajamas, and onto the Dope. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-are-you-wearing/370380.md?page=2)
