I'd be happy if it was even less, but she prefers me to wear something when kids are at home. Satin boxers are my regular sleepwear when I'm actually wearing sleepwear, same for my sons. She made a sheer pair when we first got married which I still have. I should find out if they meet the standard when kids are about!
As I have said many times, I have no sleepwear. I stopped wearing it in 1989 but kept one short set for times when I lacked privacy and one long set for chilly mornings. However, I soon decided that gym shorts were fine when I lacked privacy and sweats and a t shirt worked for cold mornings when I didn't have to go outside, and if I did unexpectedly, I didn't have to change.
About years later, I was cleaning out my dresser and found them. Even though I hadn't worn either of them in close to 10 years, it felt liberating to get rid of them.
Speaking of drawers, my wardrobe reduction since I retired emptied out 4 drawers, plus enabled me to stop storing out of season clothes elsewhere. My wife appropriated 3 of the drawers for her overflow and convinced me to put my sweaters in the fourth. Between moving my sweaters and getting rid of all of my suits, most of my dress shirts, and some of my business casual clothes, I was able to move my lightweight outerwear from the hall closet to mine and still have a lot of extra space. Maybe I will move the rest of my outerwear there, too.
When the kids were young and went to bed early (before I got more into the nudist lifestyle) I used to change into a swimstin warmer weather. Now (so quickly, it seems!) they are likely to be up later than me, so I don't push things, although a seaside holiday is the perfect excuse to remain in the togs!
At one time I would wear a swim brief around the house if I expected to be in the pool before I went anywhere else.
However, after I stopped wearing underwear and got a privacy fence so I could swim nude whenever we didn't have company, swim briefs started to feel even more confining than gym shorts, so I stopped wearing them unless I was in or around the pool or at a clothing required beach.
Wife and I had our first visit to our favorite Michigan state park this season on Memorial Day. We were the only two enjoying the gorgeous weather on the secluded skinny-dipping beach, me nude and her in a bikini. The hike through the forest between the parking lot and the beach is a mile. Leaving the beach, I was naked about half way back to our car. My wife was wearing denim shorts over her bikini bottom. Could have been nude the entire way and in the parking lot and not run into anyone.
