She'll need to have a chat with pretty much every southeast Asian. Home clothes are a must, especially when your outside clothes have just gone through 35 degrees C, heavy pollution, all the smells between heaven and hell, unknown liquids dripping from corrugated steel roofs. After all that, you just want to feel fresh.
immediately changing into shorts or comparably comfy clothes, the second i get home. I will sometimes postpone errands because i don't want to put on pants.
At first I thought your said only one of those needed pants and I was trying to figure out what chores outside the house didn't require pants and just landed on "skirts are nice" lol
I'm retired, but I have 4 sets of clothes on "the chair" at all times - going to town clothes, yard work clothes, daytime pajamas (sweat pants and t-shirt) and after shower pajamas.
Otherwise it's tees and cargo-shorts; but the Outside clothes needs to stay in a closet anyway to reduce the pet-hair-removal effort before I leave the house.
Long ago men had perfected The Chair, but to our shame we have forgotten their hard won wisdom. The instinct remains, but the execution is a pale imitation of our past glory.
It doesn't have to be this way. Let me introduce you to the pinnacle of functional furniture: The Gentleman's Valet. And yes, many of them were in fact customized chairs.
My solution to people hating The Chair is a coat hanger. It does the exact same thing as The Chair in a way that appeases people since its only purpose is to hold clothes.
The day's work done, I'm home at last to rest
Be gone, Excel! Be gone, all office drama!
I free myself from jacket, pants and vest
And slink into my pink pyjama.
As a rule of thumb, if it's uncomfortable for you, it's safe to assume that at least 1 million other people find it uncomfortable too. Our personal experience is far from unique in a world full of 7 billion people.
Why would you take my comment to mean that nobody should socialize ever? I can think of other questions one could ask about this universal experience that are far more interesting than a show of hands.
Jeans are like my "wow I actually am autistic with how much I fucking hate jeans" as they set off every single touch sensation hatred every known to humans.
When I was a kid, I referred to jeans as "stiff clothes." After I broke my ankle, I wasn't happy about the arthritis, but appreciated the excuse to wear soft clothes.

Changing to comfy pants as soon I step into the house is the largest quality of life improvement I’ve made to my life

Totally! Worst is when you have forgotten something and you have to put human pants back on to go out to the shops.

That's the great thing about winter in Finland. No need to switch from the comfies, you just throw your winter layer on top.

I am living the shelf life. Just rows and rows of shelves. I can see all my stuff. I can throw all my stuff where ever.
The shelf life is the way to be.
DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 196d
Or, you know, never change into jeans in the first place.
Emotional_Series7814@piefed.zip · 1 pts · 195d
I removed jeans from my wardrobe around high school and it has been nice.
It helps that I'm a girl so I have a lot of socially acceptable non-jean options for bottoms.

I don't wear pyjamas outside of bed, but I do shed my outer layer of outside clothes ASAP when I get home.

If it wasn't for OSHA, I'd only wear pajamas.

And therefore you should never socialise or try to find community online

Sometimes the weather demands jeans.
aloofPenguin@piefed.world · 5 pts · 196d
I do this as well. it is truly more comfortable.
BeanGoblin@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 5 pts · 196d
Pretty much as long as I can remember, yeah.
Saapas@piefed.zip · 4 pts · 196d
I do that always but it's a bit different since I come home in work clothes and those have mud and other dirt on them.

I can't stand being in anything besides jeans for a second longer than necessary
Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 196d
I change into my comfy sweat pants and uh... sweat sweater? My wife calls it my sofa uniform.
FrowingFostek@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 196d
There must be something wrong with me. I can sometimes consciously, never intentionally, sleep in jeans.

For me it’s like that “forming Voltron” animation but it goes from guy in suit to fluffy grandma clothes.

I love jeans. I wear it even on weekends (when my parents don't bully me into wearing whatever they want).

I don't wear jeans much anymore but a big yeppers for the pajamas gang.
dandelion@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 2 pts · 190d
yes, but mostly so I can keep my outside clothes clean so I can rewear them and not have to wash them - don't need spaghetti sauce on my nice shirts 😄
sleepmode@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 194d
Gotta get the spandex jawns. Or the ones that look like jeans and feel like sweatpants. But I still am immediately in my jammies when home.
Sakurai@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 194d

I have 'bad cloths' i immediately put on when home. And don t bother me with stuff outhouse after that. And on sunday is mostly pijamaday
ulterno@programming.dev · 1 pts · 196d
I have 2 pairs of jeans that have outlasted most of my legwear.
I might have worn them maybe 20 - 30 times in past 10 years.
Mandarbmax@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 196d
I wear comfy clothes all the time. My pants are wide, my shirts are loose, and I just don't feel the need to change into anything else
Reverendender@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 196d
I work from home and wear joggers all day every day.
defrostedLasagna4921@piefed.zip · 1 pts · 190d
Jeans have become comfy for me. They felt weird when I first wore them a few months ago, but I have adjusted.
The bad thing about them though, is when you put them on when your place is 40-50ºF. It's like putting your legs in ice.
I also usually end up wearing my outfit until it's time for bed because I feel cuter in it than with pajamas.
