I get out of my work clothes right away. Not that I have to dress up for work - I just don’t want to keep wearing them. I put on a cozy pair of pyjama bottoms and a flannel shirt, at least in the fall, winter, and early spring. In the summer, it’s boxers and a t-shirt. Always keep the socks on, though. I can’t stand walking around barefoot. And slippers make my feet sweat. And you? ---

A [Utilikilt](http://www.utilikilts.com); although I’ve recently started wearing them to work, so it’s become a bit unnecessary to change when I get home. Mmmmmm…kilts. ---

In summer, boxers and a light t-shirt, and sandals. In winter, what **cherry** does, with socks added. With in-between weather, it’s usually a combination of the two… ---

A martini? 😃 My wife? :rolleyes: Seriously, I have a pair of light, gray, cotton pajama bottoms that feel like you’re almost wearing nothing. They’re on before I do anything. I might start taking them in the car so I can change on the way home. ---

…my birthday suit. Can’t stand to wear clothes while in the house. As soon as I get the window shades go down and the clothes come off. ---

When I get home from work, I slip into The Lord Newry, a bonza pub, although the guv’ner is an Irishman with a taste for the turps. Makes for some very interesting orders sometimes!! After I’ve finished a round or two there, THEN I slip into my trackie-dacks and a sweatshirt. ---

Shorts and my running shoes. First thing when the wife and I get home, we both do our daily run, then shower. After that, I’m usually in boxers and t-shirt. In the summer, she may just toss on a large nightshirt, in the winter, it’s flannal PJ’s. I like the house cooler than she does. ---

Typically, after I get off work, I go work out, and I’m home by 2:00 in the afternoon. I then take my “wake up” shower, and then lounge around buck neked until I have to actually go out. Ahhh…the joys of living alone. ---

Flannel PJ pants (either with duckies or cowboys on them) and my comfy old, Old navy sweatshirt. Also, my hair goes up in a pony tail as soon as I put the comfy clothes on, and I also shed the shoes and socks, and put on Nike flip-flops. 😃 ---

If I’m going out again, I don’t change unless it’s to change to go out. Otherwise it’s drawstring pj bottoms and a t-shirt, or my favorite sweatshirt, or my yoga pants. Gotta have socks. It’s really kind of silly since I wear jeans to work almost every day, but I’m just used to changing into something more comfy when I get home. ---

What’s with all the pajamas? I just trade out the work slacks for some blue jeans, and the work shoes for Land’s End sheepskin slippers. Unless I’m going out to train, which case I add a soccer cup and my contact lenses. In winter I also add thermal underwear and a couple sweatshirts. ---

A ratty pair of gym shorts. If it is very cold, I’ll slip a t shirt on as well. ---

Dep[ending on the season, I change out of my suit to a sports jacket, and casual tie. later, I will exchange for a smoking jacket and velvet slippers. If the weather is exceptionally warm, i may change to shorts and a polo shirt (if cocktails are to be served on the veradah). Formal dinners call for a light tuxedo jacket and bowtie. Yes Muffy, we do things right here! ---

A pair of old tracky dacks and a t-shirt. No shoes; I hate wearing footwear in the house. If it’s hot (ie, the other 9 months of the year) I’m usually down to my underwear. Like now. 🙂 ---

Mmmm, utilikilts… /drools Oh, what was the question… oh, yes… I usually get distracted so I forget to change for a few hours. Then it’s either into the gym cloths and to the gym, or into flannel pj bottoms or boxers, depending on temp, with either a little t-shirt, or long sleeve shirt, again, depending on temperature. ---

I never used to change when I got home, since graduate student is a job one can do while dressed fairly comfortably. Then I bought the best pajamas in the world. Flannel bottoms, soft fleece top. I wear them every minute I can now, including all day Saturday and Sunday if I don’t plan on going out. I even bought an extra pair to store at my boyfriend’s apartment so that the one night a week that I’m there, I don’t have to go without them. I love these pajamas. At home during the winter I also usually put on my LL Bean fleece bathrobe and matching slippers. Toasty warm is my favorite way to be.
