What dress do you wear at home ?

I wear only 'NIGHTIES" at home...........i feel very comfortable with good and lose cottong nighties till my feet.......like now-a-days we get lot of good qualtiy nighties........with varities in materials as well as pattern.........so really it wont be that much ......uncomfortable even if some visitors come suddenly.........and in the day time .i will be alone almost....and these nobody coming uninformed.........its too hot here.........to wear even salwar at times ( )....

I wont go out with the nighty .anywhere...........but i will be wearing that in day too.......since i feel its good not only for climate sake but also for doing household chores.......

Jeans and shirts make my day. If its particularly hot then looonnng Polo Tshirts, since I dont go to buy groceries etc. Comfy is the rule!

Love,
Devika

I think your policy is "Live and let others live". Good!! Keep it up!!

But we should also remember that we live in a society..agreed that we dont live for others...but sure there is a decorum that we need to maintain...right?

Well said Krithika.. whatever happens inside 4 walls is completely ours...One can even walk naked .. but I suggest before doing that check if all windows and doors are closed When I was in boston couple of years back.. there used to be a couple .. its a town home and so near.. have seen many a times those 2 walking up and down naked..... it was a for me... Anyways.. the point is... got to maintain something for the sake of the sanity of the society me thinks....

Hey Nandhu...that is really . I can't believe how these people are totally oblivious to their surroundings...

hi,
i used to wear cotton salwars for daytime and nighties at night in india...now track pants and sweat shirts for winter and cotton capris /bermudas with short sleeve tshirts for summer...i cant go to sleep without cotton nighties at night..they are so comfy to sleep in......but we dont get that sort of nighties here for such good price as in chennai!

I live by myself, so I wear skirts or shorts with a t-shirt. But a full-length tracks always hangs in the bathroom. As soon as I hear the doorbell, I change into tracks
While in India though, always wore salwar kameez at home.

Oops!!! So many variety to wear at home :) I love to wear cotton salwar at home.. u can welcome guest at home nicely plus.. it looks good. But my husband loves it when i wear shorts and tees...not whn my in-laws r thr. But I also wear nighties/maxies/housecoats too. But I dont think they look bad.. cuz I bought these cotton ones which are front-open..they have buttons all the way from top to bottom..have a belt to tie in the back (like in frocks).. and a pocket too. I think it looks really cool.

What a lovely topic and that its still generates replies goes to show just how universal it really is.
I think what we wear usually reflects how we feel at the time or day. If you feel lazy then you continue to be in your night dress. If you feel ready to be on the go then you get into something more engergetic .If you feel very feminine you get into a salwar saree i guess.
The topic got me thinking and i think what i wear has changed over the years.

Now i do the school bus drop so its into morning wear and out of night clothes .Then its yoga class so its something appropriate. But generally i feel my best when i am out of my night dress first thing in the morning after a shower.

What i wear at home? well mostly the older nicer cotton salwars/ jeans tshirts/ kurtis that i can no longer wear as casual outside clothes get shifted to homewear. So i have an entire range to pick from depending on my mood.

But i think we girls are really missing out on what the girls in our grandmothers time had "sringar time" where they did take time to take care of themselves and freshen up every evening with flowers in their hair etc, Today we have no time to pamer ourselves as i guess we live a faster pace in life - don;t you agree.

Hi,

This thread has evoked so many responses......

I enjoyed reading them......

i prefer wearing salwars at home, though I do wear maxis/nighties too and am comfortable in them.

cheers,
anu

I love wearing tracks and a hoodie sweatshirt at home because I run around a LOT with 2 boys...but when I go out, I adore 'long' Capris and tunics, jeans and the indian cotton tops....they are so comfortable.
As for nighties......they are reserved for the night times. No question about it!
