27 Spot-On Tweets About Not Wearing Real Clothes During Lockdown

"My shoes probably think I died."
LOADINGERROR LOADING

Get dressed every morning, they say. It will make you feel better to have some structure, they say. To “them” we say: Thanks, but no thanks.

One of the more surprising aspects of lockdown during the coronavirus pandemic is how quickly many of us have gotten used to the home wardrobe groove. We change out of daytime sweats into nighttime sweats, we (sometimes) wash and re-wear the same workout outfits over and over again, and in many cases, forgo things like pants altogether.

There are arguments, like the ones mentioned above, in favour of “dressing up” each day. But it’s hard to find motivation to do that when our “offices” are dining room tables and our couches are always close by, beckoning us and our elastic waistbands back into the welcome arms of their warm embrace.

If there’s something to take comfort in (besides stretchy pants) right now, it’s that we are very much going through this together: The highs, the lows and the leggings. Below, 27 hilariously spot-on tweets about getting dressed (or rather, not getting dressed) that just ring a little too true at the moment.

Sit back, pull those pyjama pants all the way up, and enjoy.

MONDAY. The theme this week is "low bar for success." Did you brush your teeth? Gold star. Did you get out of bed to do it? Holy fuck, you're amazing. Are you wearing pants? YOU FOOL YOU FELL FOR THE TRAP, PANTS ARE A TOOL OF THE OPPRESSOR, SHIRK YOUR LEG BRIDLES AND RUN FREE

If quarantine has taught me one thing, It’s that all those times I said I was “dressing for myself,” I was lying.

— Emily McCombs (@msemilymccombs) April 21, 2020

I have been wearing hoodies and sweatpants for so long I think I’ve forgotten how to operate buttons.

People: I can't wait for this to be over. I'm going to spend so much time outside and doing social stuff with others.

Me: *laughs nervously* Yes, me too. I will be doing all the social things outside my apartment and not laying around in sweatpants and no bra.

Showered, put on clean clothes, then took a walk. With the day’s hard work out of the way I can now relax.

lot of talk on here about not wearing a bra during ~these uncertain times~ but not enough acknowledgement of my go-to: waking up and putting a sports bra on under my pajamas, thereby transforming sleep clothes into maybe-i'll-exercise-later clothes while still wearing pajamas

I feel like I’m on that trip where you bring a bunch of clothes but only end up wearing the same 5 things
