What Is Your At Home Lounge Wear

In winter I wear corduroy leggings (Landsend) and long-sleeved T-shirts. This lets me run out for school drop off and pickups and still be presentable for WFH. In summer I swap the leggings for capri pants (I got some nice cotton ones from India) or athletic shorts (Danskin, Athleta) and wear short-sleeve tees. I have somehow never been able to get into the yoga pants trend though they do look very comfortable.

This is not US, and neither is it branded !
But going from nightie to pyjamas would be uncomfortable for most women! So, I am sharing my ideas!

I dont like the nightie during day time and only wear it just before sleep every night!

I have always loved the Jaipur kind of wraparound skirts and cotton kurta (just above knee) - for homewear, where I just need to take off the skirt and wear a matching legging/salwar/Jeans/dupatta to rush out - this was great till my son was in school and I used to go out multiple times to pick/drop my son or buy local stuff!
First attached image - only my kurta would reach the knee !!

But in the past 4-5 years - especially after covid, my stepping out of home has reduced, and as I age, I find the waist contact of the skirt uncomfortable... After all, the material is not so soft!

But I still dont really like the nightie for day wear - I attend a lot of zoom meetings with students, professors etc - so I still buy the Jaipur wraparound skirts, and get a tailor to stitch a cotton matching top to the waist of the skirt - so it looks like the 2nd attached image, but the top part is my own soft cotton material and stitched according to my preferences. (I add some neck/sleeves design, I prefer not-too-low neck, not too tight, not too loose etc...) and the skirt's cotton usually and shrinks on washing so not comfy with upper body. - I also add a pocket for the phone for when I walk around the house!
I hardly every go out now for simple drop/pickup or vegetables - it is usually planned outings!!
But this still looks decent for the delivery guys or a walk in my terrace!

But nowadays I see many of my friends wear a cotton anarkali dress top as day-wear without the leggings!
