If you're staying in what's your casual & relaxed attire of choice?
I'm the type that the second I get home I change out of work clothes into my PJs because that's my comfort zone. I don't feel *comfortable* in jeans. So usually I resort to yoga pants or leggings and a tunic. But most times I end up looking sloppy!
What do you relax in that's not sloppy looking?

I'm generally in yoga pants and a tshirt. If they are tighter capri-type yoga pants and a fitted v-neck tshirt i dont' really feel that sloppy.

I don't mind most of my jeans, I'm pretty comfortable in them. But I always change my shoes into flip flops or slippers when I get home. Then I'm relaxed.

I change into my PJ's right when I get home too. I either put on a nursing cami or a sleep nursing bra and a tank with shorts.

I never buy new lounge clothes, because I hate to spend the money on them. But then I feel sloppy, and wish I had something that I could wear on weekends that was really comfortable but presentable in public. Now that I'm a SAHM it would be nice to not look like a total mess when my husband comes home from work, too...
Leggings + yoga pants are good. I find that looking in the athletic section (for yoga stuff) is a good approach. I got a really comfy wrap sweatshirt from nordstroms that works well.
I am always oogling lululemon and eberjey, but never justify the cost.

I change into my PJs right away! They're not cute, either. Just a pair of shorts or old sweats with a baggy t-shirt...

When I come home from work I immediately put on my PJ's and take off my bra (relief!)
But today DH is having a friend over so I will probably wear yoga pants and a loose tee. With a bra.
If I go out I wear jean and a tshirt.
When I was a teen I stocked up on a collection of Victorias Secret sweatpants. So I wear those too.

In the summer I'm in chino shorts and a T. In the winter, lounge pants and a T.

These days, Soffe shorts and whatever shirt still covers my belly. Usually, it's my PJ's. I'll put on actual clothes if I need to leave the house for anything other than walking the dog.

These days every day is a comfy day. I try to put on actual yoga pants or workout capris (vs pj pants) and a nursing tank top. I also try to shower every day. I'm super fancy.
Once I figure out where my weight is hanging out post partum I'm going to treat myself to a pair of Lulu Lemon yoga pants, but not yet since my size is still shifting.
@locavore_mama: I agree-- jeans are not lounging clothes. Even mat jeans! I have one pair of prepreg jeans that fit (they were pretty stretchy to begin with!) and a pair of "early and after" mat jeans that fit OK, so I'll wear them if we are actually going out, like to DH's office (Ha-- that's "going out"). Otherwise it's all stretchy all the time.

@evansjamie: At the end of my pregnancy I had one pair of cotton capri leggings that were comfy and like, 3 different maternity shirts that were big enough and long enough to be comfy. I just wore those same pants every day and rotated the shirts. (I stopped work 2 weeks before my due date).

It depends on if I want to look remotely presentable. if I don't care, then it's PJ pants and one of DH's tees. Otherwise, I'll throw on yoga pants/leggings, a tank or boyfriend tee, and a cozy wrap or long cardigan.

@IRunForFun: @Danizaur: haha this is me. Trying to be better about not looking sloppy all the time!

@Foodnerd81: I wish I could stop working early, but if I do I won't be able to maximize my time off after she gets here. Thank goodness for maternity pants! I'm wearing the same two pants, one skirt, one dress, and like six shirts every week to work at this point.

@Silva: haha my thinking exactly. Sigh. I need a comfy sweatshirt ish top.

I change straight into yoga pants or leggings with a tanktop or long sleeve shirt if it's cold. My husband loves yoga pants so I don't feel sloppy he thinks they are sexy the way they hug hte booty...haha boy am I lucky for that! I could live in them.

Right now I'm wearing leggings with a long top and chambray shirt over it. That's my comfy outfit at home!
I will sometimes wear leggings with a sweatshirt or yoga pants and a tee.

I recently bought lounge pants/leggings from J.Crew, they are basically classy sweatpants. They.Are.Awesome. I figure I'll be spending a lot of time at home when baby2 is born this winter, and I didn't have any yoga type pants. I already wear them around the house now.

Cropped yoga pants and a sports bra or nursing tank. I strip right when I get home from work because I work in an emergency room. Lots o'germs!

I usually wear yoga pants, tank and hoodie. DH's response is typically either "ooh, comfy pants. I want to put on comfy pants too" or "yay cleavage" (tanks tend to be low cut on me). If he's fine with my appearance, I usually am too :).

Old running pants and shorts with a t-shirt. I'm doing shorts right now because I got a fungal rash on my groin, not fun.

Either yoga or VS sweats with a t shirt. If its later at night or I know no one is coming over, even a bra is optional. I'm so bad.

I am sloppy at home and OK with it! Especially after work. On the weekends, I will put on real clothes, but at night, it's yoga pants, pj pants, or leggings and a sports bra and t-shirt.
blogger / eggplant / 11551 posts
I change immediately after work too! When I'm at home, I'm always in loose fitting cotton shorts or my gray PJ pants... paired with a tank top or spaghetti strap.

Usually a sweatshirt and leggings or yoga pants. I'm starting to realize that I need to save my Lululemon pants for actual working out and not sitting on the sofa though, because I think the sofa is making the fabric pill.

Pre pregnancy, I didn't really own any "lounge wear". I didn't own any shorts, still do not own a pair of yoga pants, no sweat pants and only a couple of fitted t shirts for working out. I think I own one pair of pajama pants.
I used to wear at home pretty much what I wear outside the home on a regular day--- lots of skirts and dresses (I wear a skirt or dress 98% of the time) with a cute top or tank.
Since I still can't fit into my regular clothes, I'm still wearing my maternity clothes-- yuck. But at home even now, I'm either wearing nothing (like..undies and a sarong) or I'm fully dressed in clothes I would also leave the house in--- today it's a knit skirt and black t and top-- both maternity.

@anonysquire: lmao!
Well, compared to all of you, I apparently get naked when I get home. My pants come off, my bra comes off and I put a tank top on. Comfy city - I haaaaaaaate pants!

I usually put on jeans and change my top.. but if we have no plans and lately everything feels tight, I wear track pants (Sometimes DHs!) and a sweat shirt. QUITE slobby!

I put on some baggy Soffee shorts and one of DH's t-shirts. I found the best shirt ever, so I wear that shirt every single evening now. It's a faded dark gray shirt that says SECURITY across it, but it feels like an old vintage t-shirt and it's baggy in the best way. So soft. Ahhh I can't wait to go home and put it on lol! I usually throw on a sports bra with it to get out of my regular bra.

@MrsTiz: bahaha DH has a Mountain Dew Tshirt like that. I claimed it during pregnancy. He won't let me have it back now and sometimes hides it on me!
cantaloupe / 6800 posts
@locavore_mama: Oh I told DH that I was taking over ownership of the shirt.. which is good because I get to wear it whenever I want (so, always) and DH can't wear it in public anymore

I look like a complete bum at home and I'm fine with it. We don't get unannounced visitors except for the occasional fish truck and now the meat sellers. Lol.
blogger / wonderful cherry / 21616 posts
@Ash: agreed! My outfit of choice is a tank and panties. But my son is now 18 months so I'm curbing that habit before he can remember his mother walking around half naked lol
blogger / wonderful cherry / 21616 posts
@locavore_mama: @MrsTiz: I have two of DH's shirts I have claimed and they are perfectly baggy and comfortable and I love them! I told DH I need to start buying tees in the men's department 
GOLD / wonderful pomegranate / 28905 posts
@Mrs. Pen: hahah this is one of his absolute favorite T-shirts so I just fight for it. hahahhahaha
And I totally bought a t in the men's department!
