What do you wear at home

The thread in life1 (about dressing gowns)…got me thining..so what exactly do you wear when someone comes over, as a guest?

I always felt that was a bit of a challenge on how to “dress” when someone is coming over, esp unexpectedly. do you change into something decent if someone unexpected drops by?

as a host, who was busy cooking and cleaning, what do you wear?

Re: What do you wear at home

My everyday home clothes would be very similar to Kareena's wardrobe in bodyguard, and its nice break from wearing all western for school and work.

Yes me and my sister literally run all over the house like mad cats when 'certain' friends or family members ring the bell, coz you don't wanna look like tramp when they're all dressed so nicely. lol And they usually come when you're dressed like a bum.

Re: What do you wear at home

are you only asking ladies or asking guys too?

and why is that when you invite a couple, lady is always well dressed and made up, but guy thinks that either he is salman khan or some other cheesy hero and decide to show up in jeans and sandals with no shave.

Whether I am a guest or a host, i think that dressing up nicely is a way of showing respect to the other party

T-shirt & jeans (or shorts/capris if its warm).

But then again....when we invite friends over ( IF the plan is to stay in the house and not go out anywhere afterwards)....our "circle" knows that its going to be a casual "hanging-out" time. They usually show up in t-shirts/casual tops/pants too. In our "circle"...."dressing up" is not expected from either side if we're going to be hanging out in someone's house.

PJs (old navy pjs to be exact :D).. I only change into something decent if I am going out or if someon'e coming over- even then the guest must be very important to make me change into something nicer..

I usually wear athletic clothes.

PJs or jeans and a tee. If company drops by unexpectedly, I'll stay in the jeans and tee. If they are close family, I'll stay in the jeans and tee.

But if they are invited desi mehmaan, then I dress up desi for their benefit.

Re: What do you wear at home

If they are desis, I usually wear desi kapray such as shalwar kameez or something along those lines. If I'm just home I'll wear a tank top/comfy shirt with pjs (or even a shalwar at times, ahem) and a dupatta (which I need to have for some reason around my neck at ALL times). I love being comfy at home.

Re: What do you wear at home

Re: What do you wear at home

pj's, shorts, onesies!!!!!1. if any of my friends or close relatives drop by, i'll stay same (unless it's shorts)

and if it's formal relatives then i'll either throw on shalwar kameez or something casual like a baggy shirt and jeans.

Re: What do you wear at home

I wear plain looking shalwar kameez at home while cooking/cleaning

although most of the time the shalwar is different to the kameez :@:

that’s just incase my dad or mum pop round ( only across the st )
otherwise i would wear a big nighty and shalwar - its sooo comfy :smack:

Re: What do you wear at home

Trouser Kameez when at home, agree with Rabz, I feel naked in short tops and jeans infront of brothers and dad

Definitely shalwar kameez if we have Asian visitors

and if I am home alone or like now living with girls only I stick to my pj's or jeans and a top

Re: What do you wear at home

I wear trouser kameez too! For more than 10 years, whether or not wide leg pants are in fashion, my home clothes have consisted of wide leg pants my mum made in thin suiting type material that doesn't crease very much, paired with a kameez's or in the summer even tunic tops.

Now it's just me and hubby, I usually wear a shalwar a vest top but would change quickly into the above if there were any visitors.

I rarely wear jeans or western clothes in the house, I just don't feel comfortable and like freedom of movement, plus I don't want to mess up my clothes. I change as soon as I get in.

Re: What do you wear at home

Tracksuit bottoms or jeans and casual top.. If we have unexpected visitors I don't bother changing if we know them well or they're family..

Re: What do you wear at home

i am mostly in my PJs and one or two favorite tees. Some days am wearing shalwar kameez. I only dress up a bit when somebody's coming over or we are going out.

Re: What do you wear at home

Btw my dressing gown thread in L+R was more about answering the door to randoms in my dressing gown eg. postman, delivery guy etc. who turn up out of the blue.. I would never answer the door to an auntie in a bathrobe/dressing gown - even if they turned up without warning.. I’d quickly go and put ‘real’ clothes on :blush:

Re: What do you wear at home

hehe whenever a postman or some random comes up…i make sure to either wrap a shawl over my tees or a little less than appropriate clothes or just wear a baggy sweater over :hehe:

because our postman is frigging lazy..he just knocks once and doesnt even leave a ‘while you were out’ card and that annoys me the most. So there are times when I have to rush to the door incase I miss some important parcel :stuck_out_tongue:
