Jeans, a t-shirt (kinda tight but kinda not), my hightops or my sneakers, and a zip up hoodie or a pullover. I don’t like summers in Arizona, I like being bundled up. I hate wearing old ratty stuff, or stuff with even a small stain on it that you can barely see; if I know it’s there it’s going to bug me. But I also like dressing up somewhat too. Can’t say I really feel “comfortable” in it, but after a while in the clothes it feels pretty good. ---

A lomg, stretchy knit dress, and my leather trenchcoat if I’m outside. Docs and knee-high striped cotton socks. I really like long skirts and dresses. ---

The weather is not exactly cold here so I prefer wearing old tee shirts and shorts at home. Outside its a Tee and Faded jeans. ---

Warm weather: floaty sun-dress type thing, or long skirt and a strappy vest top. Cold weather: Fluffy sweater (angora, mohair, cashmere type-thing) and boot-cut trousers in corduroy or velvet - I need soft, cosy stuff when the weather’s lousy. Or, if I’m home alone, my towelling bathrobe and slippers. ---

I wear a suit and tie everyday for work, so I’m comfortable in those. On weekends I’m a jeans and tee-shirt type, but I really look forward to wearing my tuxedo. It is comfortable, looks great, and means that I’m getting ready to go someplace special. ---

Flannel jammie pants and a sweatshirt in this weather, baggy boxers and a t-shirt when it’s warm. Obviously, I don’t leave the house dressed like this, but when I have nowhere I have to be, and I can just burrow into my nest in my grubby-comfies, I am a happy girl. ---

sweats are truly the most comfortable. If no one saw me. I prefer sleevelss tops(summer). ---

huge pants, baggy shirt – my usual home uniform. My home clothes are distinguished by the fact that most of them have small to moderate levels of dried paint and/or varnish on them. ---

Jeans, and a comfy shirt. (T-shirt that’s a cotton/spandex blend for summer, flannel/polarfleece/etc. top for winter.) I perfer my clothes to be fitted, to avoid the “where did my waist go?” effect loose and baggy stuff does to me. * * * \<\< Whee. \>\> ---

I’d say a tank top under a colorful button-down shirt, with jeans and flipflops or sneakers, depending on the weather. I like my jeans a little loose, with at least one big pocket to hide a book in. I try never to go anywhere without a decent book to keep me company. 🙂 If I don’t have the right size pockets, I make sure I’ve got a big purse. ---

Summer: T-shirt, cargo shorts and sandals. Winter: Jeans, long-sleeve t-shirt or plain old long sleeved shirt and whatever shoes are handy. ---

Dickies shortsleeve work shirt, kakhi. Baggy shorts. Flip flops. It will get cold around Thanksgiving, I’ll switch to Dickies work pants, blue and Sperry TopSiders. ---

Martial arts trousers and either no top or a vest - ultimate in relaxedness ---

Hipster jeans that are close-fitting around the thighs and butt, but long enough so that they bunch up above my shoes. (Not too low-riding though – I don’t wish to inflict my butt crack on unsuspecting civlians.) Leather slip-on shoes. Plain WHITE or BLACK t-shirt, tight around the upper arms and waist. At home: boxer-briefs. ---

At home: trackie pants (or boxers if it’s warm) and a good quality cotton t-shirt that has been washed and worn a lot of times so it’s as smooth as butter. Out: wide-leg jeans, a short sleeve top, and a light jumper. ---
