My 'at home' attire is baggy tee-shirts and shorts or sweat pants and sandles or bare feet. This is a reaction against the usual bishop's everyday rig of black suit, black shoes, black or (if I have to) purple clerical shirt, pectoral cross and bishop's ring. It black suit routine kid of irritates me as if one has to dress up one might as well be stylish. At least the old apron and gaiters made a statement. When it is hotter than hell here it is not unknown for me to wear sandals, tan pants, and a purple tab collar shirt as the Office does not have A/C.

Today I'm veging out in a pair of old track pants, rugby top and warm cardigan as the weather is freezing here. As it is Saturday I'm in old clothes to do the housework (hope no one visits). However, yesterday I was clad in hospital uniform of navy pants a striped shirt plus duty shoes. I guess tomorrow I will be a little more respectable for church.

Lots of pond differences here in terms. Fleecy backed where I've used it means brushed and fluffy, not fleece garments.
Your use of sloppy joe, which I do understand, would be met with very blank looks here.

Is there any other kind for summer wear? They were plain though, not plaid. And yes, I forgot differences in terminology across the pond.

You wouldn't want to visit my house, then... my attire at home is (99%of the time) zilch. I feel more comfortable that way. OK, I adjust according to who might be around... we all know who is OK with the situation and who is not.
Outside of the house and garden, I dress pretty damn conservatively...in fact, SWTSMBO complains that I dress quite formally far too often. Each to their own, eh?

At home in the summer I'm in shorts, with a light button-up collared shirt hung by the door in case I have to go out or someone stops by. I would walk around in my boxers, but our religiously conservative neighbor's windows look right into our living room and I'm afraid of what would happen if they saw me. (I could easily imagine the husband coming over to beat the crap out of me for 'showing off' to his wife.)
The one unique piece of apparel that I own is a wide-brimmed filson hat thats been on my head through many adventures. It always smells of sweat and campfire smoke and is spattered with grime and blood. It's absolutely disgusting, and I love the hell out of it.

I am wearing khaki canoe shorts and a khaki "Michigan My Michigan" T-shirt featuring a stylized goddess-like female figure surrounded by fish and birds and stars and bearing the state motto, "If you seek a pleasant peninsula, look about you."
Weird things I wear. Hmmm. Most of my clothes are sturdy and utilitarian, which I suppose makes them weird to fashion plates. But nothing I would consider weird.
I did incur the wrath of my mother back in high school when I attempted to appropriate one of her damask tablecloths to use as a stola at our high school Latin banquet. In retrospect, that was pretty weird.

Mid-winter.... So, thick trousers, jumper (ie sweater), warm socks, winter dressing gown, rug... On sofa, eating toasted sandwiches, by the fire, watching tv, sick with a cold but somehow led church today... And the building was freezing.
My winter dressing gown is warm and cosy, and I often wear it round the house in my private life.

Good job the webcam is switched off on my laptop (*hurriedly checks webcam IS switched off!*) as I am sitting here in my knickers and a purple t-shirt which I wear in bed stating "This is what a perfect mom looks like". The fact that the t-shirt says "mom" shows clearly that it was a gift from overseas - as someone who has already posted on this thread may recall - and it is one of my favourite items of night-attire (I can't wear it in public or I'd have to stop shouting at my son!)
I am definitely a pyjama person - I get much more achieved if I work whilst in my pyjamas at home, and I relax better in my PJs too. Shame I can't wear them to work, really.

Let's see - navy blue cotton trousers, pretty blue floral print Indian cotton smock, lacy blue cardi, grey lace-trimmed camisole top. Cornflower blue knickers, (none of this pants nonsense!). Midnight-blue ballerina style velveteen slippers with two-tone blue bows.
Oh, and reading specs held on by forget-me-not blue beaded glasses chain.

Some black stuff (mostly whilst actively fulfilling my vocation) and some blue stuff mostly while i'm "off."
ALL my clothes are either blue or black. Everything (inc socks and undies).
No patterns, checks, stripes, frills or bits and bobs. Gave the rest to charity shop years ago. Soft cotton is also pretty much in evidence.

I like to live in a brightly-coloured Hawaiian shirt and shorts for most of the summer, although now that I am semi-retired and serving halftime in a fairly conservative church, I no longer preach in Hawaiian shirts.
Today is a special day; my wife and I heading out to a very nice restaurant for brunch with our son, and then on to the Calgary Stampede, so will be wearing a beige shirt covered in fishing scenes, and light-brown twill trousers, as well as brown suede "desert boots."
I will trade my Tilley hat for a straw hat, though; while I managed to justify spending $110 for a Tilley hat, I can't get my head around $180 for a cowboy hat, or $250 for cowboy boots that would pinch my triple-E wide footsies.

Old Comic Relief t shirt with Miranda Richardson as Queen Elizabeth I with a red nose, and long denim skirt. Pretty much the only things in my house not covered in baby sick.
I should like to be wearing a 1940s / 1950s tea dress, proper stockings, kitten heels, a string of pearls, immaculately coiffed hair and bright red lipstick. One day...

I'm dressing up a bit for church these days and I'm still in that outfit. So I'm in a neon orange/coral coloured lace knee-length flared skirt, a navy t shirt, a pale pink cotton cardigan, coral dyed quartz earrings and possum fur slippers (brought over from New Zealand - so warm and soft!). At church and out walking it was cheap beige ballet flats instead of the slippers.
It's gotten a bit chilly so I've got a lovely grey wool laprug from the National Trust over my legs.
As for anything odd I wear... well, my British aunt and uncle looked askance at my possum slippers. I also wore a wool coat down to breakfast as it was cold and I didn't have a dressing gown. But generally I think I'm odd in that I put a fair bit of effort into presenting myself. I feel to dress a bit more formally than my workmates, for example.

I feel very uncomfortable if I wear my night clothes after I've got up - I always change into my day clothes as soon as I've got up and been to the bathroom. I couldn't sit at the computer in my night clothes unless I was really feeling ill (in which case I'd probably stay in bed anyway).

If I was working at my school holiday job I would be wearing my lovely uniform of bottle green track pants with white stripes, fire engine red polo shirt with white accents and logo and a long sleeved white T underneath for extra warmth. I had to buy new sneakers as my white and light blue ones fell apart and the only ones I liked and fitted were electric blue. They really match the uniform. Lucky I work with kids who couldn't care less.
As I have a day off I'm wearing jeans, a slightly dressy white t-shirt and a gun-metal blue cardigan. Most of my T-shirts are a bit dressy so I can wear them when I'm teaching. When I go out (going to the museum with Mum to see an exhibition) I'll add black ankle boots and my black parka jacket and black woolen gloves if it's cold enough. I also stick with boot leg jeans rather than skinny regardless of fashion.

Impoverished Intern AA tends towards niceish jeans and button-down seersucker or plaid shirts. Oh, and hiking boots.
Biker AA is pretty much notable for the awesome socks, especially the red and yellow New Mexico flag ones.
"Ironic" "AA" has his penchant for tweed and corduroy jackets, argyle socks, cowboy boots, vintage ties of all description (always tasteful, but sometimes skinny or diamond-point bow), and the grey porkpie. The best things hipsters ever did is let people think I'm trying to be fashionable, when, really, that's just me.
Oh, and there is the part of me that browses eBay for "cheap" Charvet shirts and ties straight from Place Vendôme . . .

Having just got up, and the mercury still being in the negative, I am checking out the ship over breakfast. I am wearing what I slept in - which is always an old pair of black stretch leisure pants and a long sleeved tee. Except that on rising I added a black woollen jumper and my favourite purple silk velvet padded jacket because I don't own a dressing gown. Don't own proper jammies either, having decided long ago that recycling my oldest comfy wear as pyjamas suited me just fine. If it was summer, I'd be sitting here wrapped in a black silk man's wedding kimono (the equivalent of a Japanese tuxedo).
I love oriental textiles, so there's a fair bit of that sort of thing in my wardrobe.

Yes, but it's a solid silver mace, so use 2d8, -4 hit penalty, and add a +30 bonus against undead and evil outsiders. This, of course, stacks on Marvin's cleric bonus to turning undead (why else would one wearing those silly robes?) and +2 bonus to wisdom and intelligence/-1 charisma penalty given by the robes themselves.

Oh me too! Which is why I could be found last Tuesday and Wednesday swanning around campus in red academic robes and a John Knox cap. I also learned who ought to take their hat off on the stage (those who are not members of the senate) and some more about the order of the procession - town mace present: town mace, civic procession, university maces, academic procession. Town mace absent: university maces, civic procession, academic procession. And that the female equivalent of an emeritas professor is an emerita professor and most groups of graduates are alumni, but all-female groups are alumnae.
The different regalia everyone gets according to where their degrees come from makes for wonderful sartorial comparison while the registry bods are trying to get us in the right order!

Today in a rare move I'm wearing Professional Work Attire (tm) to work rahter than jeans. It's rubbish but necessary as I have meetings with external colleagues.

Today I are mainly wearing, brown boots, lightweight olive trousers, tattersall shirt, olive moleskin waistcoat and a maroon cravat and I have an oiled cotton coat and a deerstalker for braving the thunderstorms due later.
I like to wear my kung fu suit, I wear my old faded black one around the house all the time and sometimes wear a fairly smart grey-blue one to the office.

I agree about night clothes in the day - I don't feel that I'm ready for anything until I'm dressed. Apart from very rare days, such as Sunday, when I was staying with my sister in law and we sat in her lounge all morning with cups of tea and the papers, blobbing about in our night things.
I'm realising from this thread how few clothes I possess - probably about three pairs of the same style of trousers which I wear all summer with a selection of perhaps six alternating tops... *feels like a slob*

Sunday attire: Black or gray clerical shirt, clerical collar, Geneva gown. I have three of these --- two black (one medium weight, one lightweight) and one gray (medium weight). If it's hot, I'll wear the gown open, with a cummerbund (a custom I learned years ago from an elderly colleague).
Everyday attire: Oxford cotton shirt and somewhat dressy slacks. If I'm making pastoral calls, I'll stick a tie on. I will sometimes wear the clerical collar for hospital calls.
Casual attire: Slacks or jeans, long- or short-sleeved shirt, depending on the weather. I rarely wear shorts.

Were I still at work I would be wearing the aforementioned shirt with a mid-grey wool/silk double-breasted buttons-two shows-six suit, silver Prince of Wales check tie with blue overcheck, steel grey handkerchief, grey/blue heel and toe socks, grey barathea braces, black Adelaide Oxfords and a blue-grey fedora with a dary grey band (the latter not indoors, obviously.) The hat would also be the odd thing I like to wear, or possibly sock suspenders.

You don't by any chance shop at Tails and the Unexpected in Penarth, do you?
I wondre whether any shipmate of my vintage remembers Mr Hardinge's marvellous clothes stall in Cambridge Market, just by the back of GSM, in the late 80s? A wonderful place.

Sorry to double post, but yes Marvin, you do look splendid.
As it happens, I was processing at a graduation today as well- light grey checked sb suit, white shirt, pale green knitted tie with lilac spots (all Paul Smith via eBay), all topped with the very gaudy robes of a University of Wales PhD Humanities (crimson cloth faced with mazarin blue shot green silk!).

My beard is a testament to my masculinity and virility, and demonstrates that I am a real man. Trouble is, bits of quiche sometimes get caught in it.

Back when he was still in Jacob's Market I did! I really must pay him a visit some time. My favourite ever vintage suit (Anderson & Shepherd, very heavy but soft blue serge, perfectly proportioned double-breasted) came from him - £30, about 12 years ago.

Normally in summer it's jeans and T shirt (or short-sleeved casual shirt). Today it was jeans, T-shirt, sleeved shirt and jumper, plus rainproof jacket. I was just about warm enough in the biting wind. More like March than July. By this afternoon in the sheltered back garden it was warm enough to dispense with the top two layers.
It's rarely so hot here that I would feel the need for shorts. Being self-conscious about my legs I need to be somewhere extremely hot and anonymous.
Sunday it will probably be black jeans or trousers and clerical shirt. With added weather protection if necessary.
There are two sorts of people in the world. Those who think it's too hot, and those who think it's too cold.

I am wearing this dress pattern made up in a red and cream large floral-print cotton fabric (without the silly bow in the picture) and flat brown sandals.
I don't think anything in my wardrobe qualifies as "odd," though a distinct lack of black things might be a tad unusual.
