I will admit to owning a single piece of "leezurewear": a black sweater that was quite smart when I bought it during my pregnancy, but has stretched, faded, lost buttons and suffered so many indignities over the ensuing decade and a half that I can't wear it anywhere but in the house. Still, it is supremely comfortable, and what I change into pretty much every night when I get out of my office natties.<br /><br />My husband, who works for himself at a job that has him outside in all weathers, has so thoroughly embraced the concept of "leezurewear," however, that he rarely wears anything else (except when we go out to dinner). Such is the state of his "leezurewear" that when we were in London not too long ago, a man approached my husband on the street, patted him on the shoulder and said, "lad, I've just dropped some bags at the charity shop around the corner. If you want to have a go through first, tell them I said it was okay." My husband was mortified. He continues to wear, however, the insanely ugly, faded orange jumper and ragged tracky-bottoms that he was wearing when this gentleman mistook him for a tramp!

But I won't be able to take you to court on that because I am wearing my crotchless purple polyester pajamas. Mind you, they were not purchased crotchless. We had this dog who ate underwear and anything else left on the floor with an interesting scent. He also ate Tootsie Rolls from the litter box. Said dog went to live on a friend's horse farm when we were divorced in 2004, and died last year, having lived a much happier doggy life that we ever provided him in the suburbs. Those pyjamas, however, live on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513470670765405287.post-17586310862908868802015-04-22T05:19:09.998-07:002015-04-22T05:19:09.998-07:00You're right, people can only look, at best, n...You're right, people can only look, at best, not too bad in burgundy.

I am currently sporting a pair of trackie bottoms that my boyfriend bought in a charity shop, and gave to me because they were too small for him. I am teaming this (ha!) with a supremely unflattering burgundy sweatshirt (burgundy suits nobody, in my opinion) that John also gave to me because he considered it too horrible for even him to wear - and he's a man who has some pretty disgusting leezurewear! I'd just like to say, I go from one extreme to the other; when I was last in Norwich meeting some friends, I was wearing a £700 Jaeger coat and an LK Bennett dress, though I hasten to add that I got the coat in the sale.Julia Gibbshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05818149726845849544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513470670765405287.post-41667003309650292492015-04-22T01:55:34.327-07:002015-04-22T01:55:34.327-07:00I love it!!! :) Leery requests!!!!!!I love it!!! :) Leery requests!!!!!!Terry Tylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15077413235902203848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513470670765405287.post-85077268247107687932015-04-22T00:58:09.328-07:002015-04-22T00:58:09.328-07:00My leezurewear (my spellchecker tried to change it...My leezurewear (my spellchecker tried to change it to leery requests!) consists of a pair of jeans with no knees.

I think casual for a men should go no less than a nice button down cardi :D I have to confess the second I'm in the house I have my pyjamas on but they are nice ones. My biggest crime against style and even worse than leezurewear came about when my mum (I suspect in a quite spectacular fit of passive aggression) bought me a onesie for Christmas. I was appalled and swore not to wear it and then when it was freezing with the snow my heating broke and I turned to it in desperation. I have to say it was almost a slippery slope straight into hell but luckily once the heating was fixed my menopausal inner boiler meant I almost spontaneously combusted every time I wore it.
