I'm a jeans and casual shirts kinda guy.

So, yeah what I wear at the house is perfectly fine to wear anywhere else.

About the only difference is that I'm less prone to wear tank tops outside of my own yard, but that's a practical matter more than a social thing. I burn easy, so I prefer to keep my shoulders covered when I can't stay in shade. I wouldn't wear a tank everywhere though just because there are times and places where folks would be weird about it.

But t-shirts, polos, and similarly comfortable tops, idgaf about where it is, they're acceptable. I have button form stuff ranging from hawaiian shirts to dress clothes, but I prefer knitted fabrics against my skin in almost all weather. I err on thicker over knitted in really cold days, and tend to like a woven fabric under a poncho or other heavy rain gear.

But I've got a stack of tanks, and another of tees that's my primary wear.

Pants wise, the only thing I have that isn't jeans is my suit pants. I just like the combination of comfort and practicality they offer. I keep stuff in my pockets that I'll use multiple times a day, plus emergency meds. So stuff like sweats or lounge pants aren't useful for me, and they aren't less comfy than other stuff to me, since I keep them on the loose side.
