The "Hospitality and Dress Codes," thread in Purgatory is all about wedding clothes, but it got me interested in how Shipmates dress the rest of the time.
I'm presently wearing men's pajama bottoms, printed with the West Virginia University football logo. I always buy men's pajamas because the legs are much longer. My top is a color coordinated yellow T-shirt. I never wear pajama tops because that strip of large buttons is where my Dachshund's back goes when we sleep.

I'm wearing a green and white checkered button shirt, a pair of green fatigue knee-high shorts, black dress shoes(the only pair of shoes I own), and a pair of white socks with black and blue rings around the top edge.
Almost all my socks are the exact same style, so I don't have to pair them up after washing.

It does, but maybe being a commuter wearing long skirts at stations isn't ideal.
I'm wearing a loose dress that M&S sell as beach wear but us great for house and garden wear too.

I am wearing pale turquoise pyjamas with purple buttons, and snowmen on them. Not exactly seasonal but they're comfy. And ironically they're my coolest pyjamas, because I've had them so long the fabric has gone thin, so they're the best ones to wear in summer.

Indeed. The turquoise skirt is actually one of those - it doubles as a strapless dress if you want it for the beach, but you do have to keep hoiking it up to climb in and out of public transport (yes, I tried) and crucially, there are no pockets.

I sometimes see people with floor length skirts at stations, with muddy hems, especially mucky in the wet. Ugh!
I love floaty and linen skirts but they are not ideal for my job. Also not ideal for my dislike of ironing!

Also there is the problem of co-ordinated accessories. I could do it for this particular combo, but the shoes are a bit uncomfortable to wear all day. I really wish they'd make half sizes. The smaller size is a bit too tight, especially in hot weather, the larger size is a bit too big.

Currently in blue shorts and sleeveless T-shirt, my usual attire indoors in this hot weather. However I would not venture out in the street dressed like this, it would not be culturally appropriate where I am living and I don't want to attract either the attention or the assumptions! So if I go out I change into cropped trousers (so knees are covered) and T-shirt with sleeves (so that shoulders are covered). Even than I am significantly under dressed compared with many women here, but hey, I'm a foreigner so I can get away with it!

A vintage Laura Ashley smock dress (late 1970s, judging by the design of the label) in a tiny print in muted green, violet and rust brown. Long sleeved as it was cool this morning but I am now far too hot in it. I also had on earlier some brown narrow striped tights and little purple ankle boots.
Being vintage Laura Ashley, the dress has pockets

It was only 1 Celsius as I left home for the station around 6.15, so I was wearing a warm Rodex coat bought many years ago at Richard Hunt (don't worry Hosts, both sadly out of business so no advertising), a scarf, gloves and solid boots; under all that was a winter-weight suit. In 45 minutes or so, I shall be taking the jacket off and putting uniform on to head next door.

Ratty cargo shorts, used to be khaki. Pockets distended with assorted junk that might be useful in the next few days - adjustable wrench, USB extender cable, screwdriver, and assorted odds and ends. Oh, and keys/wallet.
T-shirt: dark blue, with added accent holes at irregular intervals along the seam.
Sandals: antique. Not only foxed, but badgered, and probably coyoted and beared as well.
This is my standard summer work attire, for days that don't call for either dressing up or protective equipment.

Tomorrow at this time I'll be wearing skinny black jeans and a T-shirt with either an iconic spirit or liqueur advertised on it, a dragon, or plain black. This is because I'll be cycling to and from work and Mrs Backslider objects to me remaining a Lycra Clad Tit once I get home.

Today, for work, I wore black microfleece trousers, a lime green vest top, and a charcoal-coloured hoodie. And walking shoes. This is what I wear every day, but with different-coloured vest tops each day, and some different-coloured hoodies too. I like soft clothes for comfort, and firm shoes for walking, because I often walk to work.
Right now I'm wearing pyjamas - the top is checked turquoise, pink, yellow and grey, and the bottoms are grey with Snoopies on them.
