I turned down my thermostat and now I keep buying more sweaters (mens, alternatives)

[Flamingo13]

My thermostat is 64 daytime, I wear sweats - cotton sweaters and jeans if/when I go out... I certainly don't wear cashmere around the house.

Also can put sweaters in a laundry safe bag when being washed in COLD water on a gentle cycle.

Here in Louisiana, well right now, we're experiencing some cold weather. In the southern part of the state. I'm bundled now, but usually I wear a long sleeve shirt with a flannel over shirt. Would like to get flannel sheets but wife says otherwise. She says it gets too hot. Well, uncover for a few minutes, get a chill then cover back!

In winter here, I wear a long sleeve T with a flannel hoodie thing over it. Super warm.
We have flannel sheets. I can't do winter w/out them. And a flannel comforter. TOASTY!

That's pretty much what I wear. Multiple color hoodies and one on evey floor of the house.

You'll have to pry my cashmere sweaters out of my cold hands.

I wouldn't own anything that had to be dry cleaned. Everything gets thrown in the washer together at lukewarm temps. Comfort, and practicality are tops on my list. And I don't care what others may think about what I wear. Life is much too short for that. And I agree about layering.

Cooler temperatures don't work for me. My hands and feet still get too cold for comfort and I can't breathe cold air. So, I keep my thermostat up. However, in summer I really don't need A/C and could have low power bills, but my husband can't handle heat.

Nothing beats a goose down comforter on the bed.

Cashmere and dry cleaning?? My goodness that is just silly. Wear a sweatshirt or fleece.

You're absolutely right!!!! I use them all year around
A good quality goose down duvet is an investment that pays off for many years.
