Hi! What are your comfort clothes? (talking about clothing types) (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

For some reason I find vests, and specifically down vests very comfortable. I know that some of you have problems with polyester though, so I'd love to hear about your comfy clothes! (I kinda wanna test out some new stuff)

Pajama pants (soft), and either nothing on top, a big pull over sweater (with hood), or a zip up sweater (unzipped) depending on temperature. I do not like zip up sweaters zipped if I don't have something under it.

If I'm in bed, just my underwear, occasionally a big pull over sweater (with hood). Never pants or pajama pants.

For feet, if they are cold, slippers, occasionally in the winter, wool hiking socks.

Dumb question, but what does it mean for a zip up sweater to be unzipped? Isn't that the exact opposite, or is zipped a completely different word? (non native speaker here)

[–] BugleFingers 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

For this scenario it means the middle is open and not connected. Zipped means that the mechanism (zipper) is connected and closes the opening between the two sides. So Un-zipped is the opposite, the two sides are not connected leaving it open

Edit: I hope this helps, if you need more clarification just let me know!
