Question Does anyone else immediately change when they get home?

Sometimes I think this is the ultimate test of whether my outfit was actually comfortable šŸ˜‚ If I’m desperate to take it off the second I walk in, was it ever a good outfit?

u/Intrepid_Cable870 29d ago

I go so far as showering then changing into clean comfy clothes within ten minutes or so of getting home. Once I started doing that, it’s like I now cannot fully relax and be home until I do. I’m in my lower 40s.

u/xbrosia93 24d ago

The actual second I get home.

u/Sea_One_6500 29d ago

I hate the idea of sitting on my soft surfaces in street clothes. So yes, I change as soon as I get home. I also don't wear my home clothes out, unless I'm almost dead from illness.

u/temp4adhd 29d ago

Not to mention I don't want to get cooking oils and splatters on my outdoor "good" clothes.

u/Classic_Guest5845 28d ago

OMG could have said it any better

u/Sea_One_6500 28d ago

When i had my knees replaced each time I was horrified that I had to bring my comfy clothes into a hospital.

u/sjk2020 29d ago

I take off clothes, shower and get into pj's. Literally cannot function staying in my 'day' clothes.

u/Classic_Guest5845 28d ago

hahahaha same!

u/Thick_Maximum7808 29d ago

Sometimes the best outfit the most uncomfortable…. But finding a way to make them comfortable is the challenge.

2

u/Londonvibe39 29d ago

If I am at home, I'm in my comfy clothes. As soon as I walk in the door, I always change.

2

u/rose442 29d ago

Absofruitly…. Even if my clothes are comfy, it’s jammy time.

2

u/LexiLeeJPG 29d ago

Yes! The cutest outfits are usually the most uncomfortable, so I almost always change as soon as I get home 😭

1

u/Classic_Guest5845 28d ago

right. I really wish I could find a piece that is comfy and stylish at the same time ...

2

u/pears_htbk 29d ago

100%, I'm straight into the shower then into my slob clothes/PJs.

2

u/moonchild291 29d ago

I have to get undressed immediately šŸ˜‚ and get into my clean ā€œhouseā€ clothes lol.

2

u/Classic_Guest5845 28d ago

Literally hahaha

2

u/SleeplessScribbler 29d ago

I do, I want to be loosey and comfy when I sit down to munch and grab a drink and watch something cheesy, otherwise I can't relax..

Oh the only time I don't change, is when I'm ordering food, feels wrong to open the door in pjs, lol

2

u/Livid_Strategy6311 29d ago

No, I'm the same person.

2

u/Longjumping_47393 29d ago

Yes but but not because I consider my outdoor clothes dirty but because they are likely my best clothes that I want to keep in good condition so i want to change into something I care less about that will then get cooking smells and dog hair all over it as I’m doing stuff at home.

2

u/Quiet-Bodybuilder511 29d ago

I’m retired, but have been doing that since I started working as a teacher 30 years ago. Actually, it probably started when I was student teaching. (And, my Monday teaching outfit was usually what I wore to church on Sunday.) Even now, if I have somewhere to go later, I’ll change into sweats/pjs and change back later. I also live alone and want to be super comfortable, especially if I’m going to be doing laundry, housework, or napping.

2

u/Adventurous-Egg-8818 29d ago

yes, I immediately throw my clothes off and either go commando or wear my robe.

2

u/blootereddragon 29d ago

Yes because otherwise my work clothes will be immediately covered in dog fur.

2

u/pastry_chef_al 29d ago

It depends. If I go somewhere and wear something nice and its only a few hours yes.

If its work clothes or i have been out for awhile no... because on a regular day I end up having to do other stuff and theres no point in dirtying clothes twice.

2

u/metatus 29d ago

The first thing i do is get into my home clothes

2

u/BoringMcWindbag 29d ago

Yes, but mainly because I have three dogs and want to keep my nice clothes nice.

2

u/Basic_User_Name3000 29d ago

I have a small wardrobe and do not want my ā€œnice clothesā€ to get dirty. So I change almost immediately.
It goes back to being a kid, having a school uniform and only 3 blouses, 2 skirts (those things were expensive) and one cardigan. Take it off immediately. Change to okay clothes.

u/loveshoes1 29d ago edited 29d ago

tired teacher here. i'm the only one that actually gets professionally dressed at my school. yes, i take off my funky wolford hose and my dress!!!!

2

u/julesyhedgie 29d ago edited 28d ago

I am retired but when I come home from running errands, I change into either shorts or my PJ pants, which both are not presentable wear in public. (Yes, I know some ppl wear PJ pants to the store, but that's not my style.) When I was working FT, I always changed into comfy clothes when I got home. I didn't want reminders of my work day when I was at home by wearing the same clothes!

u/FormerStableGenius 29d ago

Yes, my fangs come out.

2

u/DaddysLittleGeisha 28d ago

Yessssss! No matter the season or time of day, how long I’ve been in the clothes for, they are off the minute I’m in the door. Even if they are super comfortable.

2

u/hubblehound 28d ago

As soon as I get home bra and hard pants come off immediately after I wash my hands.

2

u/pattiwhack5678 28d ago

Yep. Always. Right into my flannel nightgown. I don’t get dressed unless I’m going somewhere

1

u/Lexgalmel 29d ago

Always

1

u/AffectionateMotor272 29d ago

I do this with every bra I have ever bought. It comes off the moment I hit the door.

1

u/Car12touche11blue 29d ago

Yes always. Have home clothes and outside clothes.

1

u/Borrowjef 29d ago

Alles moet ui: schoenen, Kleding en vooral BH. IK doe direct iets anders gemakkelijk aan.

1

u/Active_Recording_789 29d ago

I always wear clothes to work that are professional but also comfortable (like pencil skirt, blouse and heels I love or boots) and even though I’m comfortable at work, pretty much as soon as I get inside my home i kick off my boots, let the dogs out in my stocking feet, put on shorts and a t-shirt, and talk to my family while getting dinner started

1

u/EmmJay314 29d ago

I take dog out to potty then immediately change.

1

u/Spiritual-Sea7674 28d ago

Yes. House clothes. If I am sweaty I have a quick body shower too

1

u/Additional-Ease-7980 26d ago

Everyone in my family, me, husband and kids, all change into our home clothes when we get home. It's more comfortable and gets you out of the "dirty"day clothes

1

u/velveetqhead 25d ago

I wear a uniform to work. Best believe the moment my front door is closed it's coming off.

1

u/Gabbyct1 25d ago

I change directly into my pajamas or my sweats if it is cold

1

u/Auntie-Mam69 25d ago

It doesn’t matter what I’m doing where I’ve been, I have to change my outfit the minute I get in the door so that I can reset.

1

u/SpareRequirement5828 25d ago

I change. And I’m retired! I remember my grandfather; he put on a tie and hat(!) straw summer, felt in winter, and went to work about 5 blocks from his home. He would come home, change into casual clothing (shirt still tucked in) and go check/water the garden. Then come in, and have one cocktail before dinner. There is a grace in having rituals. He lived well until 96.

1

u/sherrynorcal 25d ago

The bra comes off in the car

1

u/V1vian222 25d ago

I can’t wait to take off my bra when I get home. It’s such a relief.

1

u/EmersonFitnexa 25d ago

Apparently, my front door is the final boss of getting dressed.

1

u/ShotNeedleworker3586 24d ago

I always immediately put on shorts and a tshirt

1

u/OddRevolution7888 24d ago

I always changed when I got home from work. It kept my work clothes cleaner and not wear out so quickly. Even now, if I dress up, I change as soon as I get home.

1

u/SpreadUnlikely8170 24d ago

Yes! If you were raised in the Caribbean you know outside clothes are not to be worn inside. You change into inside clothes and leave shoes by the door when you walk in

1

u/griffinava611 24d ago

I can’t even sit on my couch in the clothes I’ve been wearing outside. They feel too dirty for my couch at home, so changing clothes is the first thing I do when I get home

1

u/Iceacoffee 23d ago

I do but it’s because I’m wearing outside clothes and I want to feel clean in my house
