Covid-19 mostly at home this summer made me very casual. On many days, particularly shabbos, I didn't bother getting dressed unless I had to go somewhere. In the spring, at the start of the restricted activity, I made a point of driving someplace every day. But eventually there was no place worth going to and daily drive to nowhere for no purpose other than leaving my house waned. I stayed home many days. When I did venture out I typically dressed for summer: t-shirt with some type of writing, shorts, sandals. As the summer transitions to cooler weather and more formal encounters, it's back to undershirts, long pants, and socks, though I won't package the summer wear until October.
There still aren't a lot of places worth dressing for. Supermarket a couple times a week. OLLI and Zoom presentations where I really only need to wear a shirt. Maybe try to do more fishing this fall. Maybe an outdoor shul event here or there. Maybe I will work more diligently on my projects with a more formal appearance, maybe not. Find out this week.
