Alternatives to joggers

[PT1984]

I have turned into a slob. I blame Covid and the lockdown.

I live in joggers. I WFH three days a week so it’s the comfy choice, and they are great in this cooler weather. The issue is, I wear them out the house. This is unacceptable. I wear them to do the nursery run. The girls didn’t recognise when I turned up in my more formal work wear. The other mums run a mile.

What are the alternatives. Must be comfy. Must be acceptable to leave the house.

Jeans don’t really work round the house, and neither do chinos really.

Most ladies wear leggings?

Try cargo trousers or embrace cold legs and wear shorts.

Why don’t chinos or jeans in the house work?

Change your trousers before you leave the house

Well this is just it. My wife buys her leggings from Amazon and she looks incredible in them!

I’m good with chinos and jeans in the real world. I just want to get rid of the joggers all together. If they’re there, they will be worn!

Try jeans with elastane in them, they are much more comfortable than normal jeans, I too wear joggers around the house but won't go out of the door in them.

Oh realise that you are comfy and dont give a toss, that's what I do, I really could not give the slightest toss what anyone thinks. Better stuff has a time and a place.

I’ve no idea why this would be the case? They work for everyone else.

Wot e sed.

I always dump the hoody and joggers for a morning suit, shirt, and cravat. A cravat because I don't want to be too formal.

I’ve not resorted to joggers but I’ve found various hiking trousers are baggy and comfortable to lounge around in and acceptable to leave the house in.

I think I’d get arrested entering the nursery.

I think this may be the way to go. I used to wear Cragghopper walking trousers all the time. That was when my waist was 6” less.

^ That.
Different occasions, different trousers - joggers round the house, jeans out n about - its about having the right errrr tool for the job

Our son 18 wears joggers all the time (except when he used to go to school but now he schools at home)
I've (70) never worn joggers in my life, hate them, wear jeans in either blue or preferably black.
My FiL (86) has taken to wearing joggers, even going out, elasticated cuffs, white socks, appropriate footwear for the weather. TBH he looks bloody stupid but don't tell him I said so as he's obviously comfortable and happy.

Phew
Thought this thread was going to be about murder targets.

Na, that is too much work. You have to change when you come back, hang up the trousers etc.

And wearing elasticated chinos around the home is too much work. Comfy, but toilet breaks are more involved than they should be.

I’m definitely with the op, that joggers are the way forwards. If you settle on a style and fit that work well, you won’t look completely chavvy. Lol.

I do always wear my Seamaster when I leave the house in them, to make me feel a little better. Also wore them once with my Classic Bedale. Never again.

Cotton cargo pants- comfy, breathable, lots of pockets for carrying stuff and you look "reasonable" when out of the home.

[PT1984]

I’m not. But I’m also not flexing around the house in £120 trousers!

I have a few fleeces from Passenger. Will look to see what they have to offer.
