I can't speak for AM of course but the reason I don't wear leggings at home is because I never feel good in leggings. . For about a million reasons. I wish I did, because they are ideal in theory. For me it is a body type thing. They do not flatter me and they are not fuss free because they constantly crawl down. I have more luck wearing my thermal underwear as "pants" when I'm at home!! (Thermal underwear also keeps me cozier, though I suppose a fleece lined legging would have that benefit as well). My athletic leggings are much better than regular leggings on this score, and sometimes I will wear those under a long sweater, but tunics really don't flatter me, I don't like the idea of leggings showing the lady parts, and I don't like to be wearing gear all day at home either. It's a conundrum.
My at home winter uniform, if such it is, has (as yet) no name but it consists of a cashmere or merino tee worn over a tank or cami, a pair of slim straight jeans or sometimes slim BF jeans, wool socks, a belt, and sometimes a wrap or cardigan. I will semi-tuck the pullover and wear a belt. I wear a watch and slippers.
The silhouette is uniform (for the most part) but I do vary the colours. It is practical and comfortable for me, and can easily be transitioned to outdoor wear by a change of footwear and addition of coat and possibly a scarf or more jewellery. But -- and here is the trouble with a uniform -- it begins to feel distinctly unfashionable after a while. After all, this is essentially a winter version of "jeans and a tee." And I would like to be a step above that, somehow, after all these years.
Perhaps there is no step above it, though. Perhaps the key is further refinement. As in -- always wear all ink. Make the uniform a signature vs. a fallback.
