I have always been a loose Levi's jeans, converse shoes, and hoodie sweatshirt kindof gal. Partly because I needed to hide my extra flab behind more material and we weren't a very well off family growing up, so other than my love of Levi's, my wardrobe was pretty cheap. Is still tend to dress this way, like I am 12. Baggy and cozy.

I'm thinking about switching things up a bit. But don't know what to. I see other ladies out in Yoga pants with tight layered long sleeve shirts and think that looks cute but maybe they just got done at the gym? I mean, I sometimes stop at the grocery store or gas station after a run in my tights and running hoodie and running shoes, but I don't think I should really wear that 24/7(although I do have an odd fondness for my insulated tights....they are dreamy!)

So what do you ladies and gents wear when NOT running/working out?

I need ideas please.

Mostly jeans and a polo shirt. I don't give fashion advice.

I tend to like things pretty formal and trendy, which I think comes from my time in bigger cities.  Now that I'm somewhere smaller, I kinda stick out like a sore thumb.  My big thing is I don't wear running shoes or any other sneakers for something that's not their intended activity.  That means I wear a lot of dress shoes and nicer casual shoes.  Also, while I do wear sweats a lot in the house, I'd never wear a track suit or anything similar out in public.  I do wear jeans, but they're always the ones that I'm embarrassed to think about how much I paid for them.  I also wear a lot of button down shirts layered under sweaters, especially in the winter.  I also like stuff that is unique, harder to find, and in brighter colors.  My other big thing is fit - everything I wear fits pretty closely and definitely isn't baggy.  I feel like I've done all this work and I should be able to see it, regardless of what I'm wearing.

As for ideas, I don't really have much.  I would say that from your picture you certainly don't look as though you need to be "hiding" behind your clothing.  Just trying to change the fit of your clothing would give you a different look.

For work, skirts and boots or dress pants mostly.

For casual shoes/sandals I'm a big fan of Clarks. Very comfy, great for walking/touring and they look good

with casual wear.

For casual about town, or travelling,,,pretty much this......comfy jeans with a jacket type pullover, usually by

New Balance, LLBean or North Face because they are my favorites for casual clothing.

With a nice short or long sleeve co-ordinating tshirt underneath.

Also sweatshirts with zippers, but nice neat ones, not sloppy big ones. I save those for home.

Jeans and either a t-shirt or button up cotton dickies shirt.  I spend a lot of time in steel mills, power plants, etc.

Jeans and t-shirts or sweat shirts.  Old running shoes.  For work it's Carhart pants and work boots.  At Christmas, I had to go buy a pair of pantyhose, which I hadn't worn since the previous Christmas.

At home, sweat pants, sweatshirt or fleece, and slippers.  Out and about, jeans or khakis, a sweater, and moccasins or boots.  At work, a uniform.

I live in hoodies.  Even when it's approaching a million degrees outside.  I am so, so, so glad that I don't have to get dressed up for work, because that would just be a huge pain in the ass.

(Once upon a time, when I was still a young whippersnapper, I actually liked getting dressed up.  Now I would be perfectly okay with just staying in my pajamas all day.)
