What do you wear in winter to keep warm around the house?

With the mens' ones they generally wear their jogging pants underneath or even pyjama bottoms

If I am cold I wear sweatpants and long sleeve tee shirts. I am always too hot so even when it is cold I am not usually freezing. But I do keep my heat on for my pet who is on the floor.

yes these oodies would be far too hot to wear if you have heating on...

Yes I don't have the thermostat on at all... when it gets really cold I turn it on for an hour or less.. just to warm the place up... but that's all.

I have Hive so I can turn it on through my phone, if I'm out and want the house warm on my return.. or my computer or Alexa... ..or even on the Hive thermostat switch...

Previous years it was times to come on for 2 hours in the morning and again at night... now it's not affordable to do that...

Wow, about how much would you say the % increase was year over year?

I add layers. I wear sweatpants, long warm tee-shirt, and a cotton-blend zip up jacket over the tee shirt. I always keep my legs and feet covered. So I wear those fuzzy socks. Another thought - get thermal curtains for your windows. I have those and they really help. Also, insulate as much as possible for a few dollars.

I have thermal curtains and I also have blinds... I draw the blinds and then pull the curtains over...

My house is very well insulated too...

Wearing loads of clothes is a PITA... 2 pairs of trousers.. 2 or 3 layers of sweaters and t-shirts.. socks etc.. with this Oodie.. it's much easier to get undressed for bed.. wearing this

Most of my shirts are oversized, so I just add layers.

Those toes though!!

I see ads on Facebook about magical socks, Llama, Nordic, etc and I wonder if they will solve cold toes.

My estranged O/h suffers from very cold feet, regardless of how many layers he has on the beds ..etc.. I bought him cashmere and Merino wool socks ..everything.. but he found thermal socks helped.. he'd wear a pair of thin cotton socks underneath
 
I live alone in a three bedroom house in a climate with cold winters and it seems extravagant to use up a lot of energy to keep the place warm. So I set the thermostat to 50* F and wear layers. Bottoms are insulated jeans; tops are five layers....long sleeved T Shirt, two sweatshirts, wool sweater vest and a heavy wool sweater.

yes, and that's what I would wear too usually in this 3 bedroom house in the Northern hemisphere..... several layers, ... but with this oodie... I don't have to have all those layers on.. and it means when I want to go elsewhere or get in the shower or ready or bed, I don't have to remove so many clothes..
 
It was 16F this morning but we're fortunate to heat w "inexpensive" nat gas and the house is tight. Eliminating drafts is key. We keep the bedrooms very cool which promotes a good night's sleep.

Back in the old days heating w fuel oil was outrageous depending on the price of crude and how the refiners manipulated the market. I understand last year was VERY expensive for heating oil in the US.

I run pretty hot, but after a long day outside skiing or hunting I'll definitely wear what my daughter calls my "house coat" a Patagonia R1 Daily Jacket in the evening over a thin 1/4 zip.

Wish my apt was well insulated. I don't understand why landlords cheap out on that stuff.

that's annoying ! I'm fortunate that we had the house totally insulated about 10 or 15 years ago.. including the loft... and even the loft hatch door.. ..double and triple glazing on all windows and doors, and no draughts in the house at all, so that helps a lot..
