Loungewear lightbulb moment!

Louise

I usually stay in my PJ's if stopping in for the day but it's rather chilly and to be honest it's a tad embarrasing opening the door to the postman at 1pm when still in PJ's!!!! On Monday while mooching in Primark I bought some mens (the womens were way too short) tracksuit bottoms £9 hoodie £8 and a couple of ts £2.50 each and wow the difference is amazing I have them on today and am lovely and snug and had no embarassement opening the door to the postman!!! I think i'm probably late catching onto this but for any others not yet on the loungewear bandwagon it's definately worth the pennies x

I love my jammies.... Sometimes on the weekends I stay in them all day (if not leaving the house)
I prefer those matched long cotton pants with cute t-shirt.

There is no way I could stay in my jammies all day long. My whole body would feel like mush. On a day that I need to "lounge" I opt for what you described.

My favorite loungewear is black yoga pants, a simple, white, fitted tshirt and a downgraded (from streetwear) cardi - cotton in the fall, wool when it's really cold in the winter. I also have a couple of cute hoodies. I feel pulled together but still comfy.

bella's loungwear sounds a lot like mine - long yoga pants (just for home - I wear capris for yoga classes), with 'demoted' sweaters in winter.

I don't feel frumpy or embarrassed and it's nice not needing to hide from the doorbell

I'm glad I read this just now as I was about to toss 2 cozy, but no longer up to par, sweaters in the donate pile. I'd much rather lounge in them as you gals have suggested because on occasion I do find myself still in PJ's at noon. Sometimes that's fun on a snowy day but for most days in, I'd like to up the notch a tad and put on real clothes, even if they are lounge only!

ETA: I have decided to make a separate drawer solely for loungewear, as I do my workout clothes, so I can make no mistake of mixing it in with regular clothing!

Mo, the separate drawers are really helpful! I've done that with my closet too (separating the fancy stuff as well). I found that I kept getting off track when my clothes for very different events were all kept in the same spot.

I don't wear lounge wear but will slip into my jammies after eight, I'm always dressed in my regular clothes by eight in the morning. I just don't feel fab in loungewear but I'm glad you have found a solution. I bet the postie will miss your jimjams.

I can't change into jammies until bedtime. I change into two piece sweat suits in the fall/winter and a t-shirt and lighter weight sweatpants in the warmer months. I like the yoga pant idea and may have to look into this.
