What are you wearing in retirement ?

[Ronstar]

jeans, sweatshirts, flannel shirts, cargo pants, hiking boots in winter
shorts, t shirts, running shoes in summer

 

[Walt34]

Blue jeans, t shirts in summer, flannel shirts in winter, pretty much the same as on days off.

Well, two years ago I did wear a suit and tie to a wedding. Had to use one of those sticky roller things to clean the dust off the suit.

I wear jean 6-7 days a week in winter, shorts most days in summer (after retiring Jun 11, I didn't wear long pants even once until sometime that Oct). Khakis are usually as dressed up as I get, probably put on a suit 4-5 times all last year (wedding, X-Mas parties, etc.). Mostly wear polos or t-shirts, just with long sleeves in winter, or a sweater/sweatshirt sometimes. Laundry and especially ironing have become a heck of a lot easier.

No socks ever....except when golfing.

I am sooooo jealous. I still have to wear my uniform everyday and sometimes even Saturday and Sunday like this weekend. 4 more years and it will be my turn.

I'm wearing all my old jeans and T shirts, even if they have holes, although I did pull out some businesslike stuff last week when I did some consulting. Clothes spending so far since ER has been $5 for a pair of pantyhose. And that was a "just in case". I hate the things! Dry cleaning bill: $0.

OMG, and here all this time I thought you were male. I almost spit out my breakfast when I read you had to buy pantyhose!

Ya learn something new every day.

Jeans and a tee-shirt........when I feel like getting "all dressed up", that is.

 

[Marita40]

I'm not retired but a happy day for me is when I can put on blue jeans and a sweater or t-shirt. Pure comfort.

 

[DayDreaming]

Mostly I like to wear old, comfortable jeans, t-shirts and sneakers. But recently I realized I have a closet full of the clothes that I used to wear to w*rk but have no occasion to wear anymore - so I've been dressing more business casual at home or when I go out running errands. On days when I want to be really comfy, sweatpants and slippers.

Oh jeez. I am so glad I finished my coffee before seeing this.

Once I retired, I gave away all my suits and ties. Once we moved, I gave away all my winter gear. Now, I own 2 pair of pants (primarily for the long plane trip to the midwest or if I get an invite to a military base.) Otherwise I wear shorts and T-shirts (for dress up, I wear Aloha shirts with the shorts). I do NOT own flip flops as I must wear orthotics (inside my "running' shoes.) My small side of the closet has a total of 20 shirts, 4 shorts. Her side... is steadily encroaching on my side.

Life is good. YMMV

Here, you'll appreciate this from Doghouse Diaries. A great graphic explaining how shared closets really work!

Depends....... on the weather.

Summer: shorts, T shirt, flipflops.
Winter, Spring, Fall: as much stuff as will keep me warm, and still be able to move with ease.

With you on the summer wardrobe. Winter: I should never have bought a pair of pajama pants a few years ago. Now that is all I wear when I am home with long sleeve tshirts. I can't wait to get home in winter anymore from whatever I am doing so I can put them back on.
