I think that a lot depends on someone's culture and personal preferences. I agree that most people don't watch what others are doing, and for the most part, I can't say what the other pilgrims were doing while I was preparing for the day (except for the middle aged French gentleman who presented me with a full moon as he dried his feet naked in the doorway!) I put on clean clothes after showering, then slept in those clothes. I just had to put my boots on in the morning.
At some albergues the shower facilities are unisex, but people are respectful.
I did take long pants last April and on some days wore thermal tights under them. If it is cold and rainy, you may want to protect your legs.
Buen Camino!

The first year, I took a nightdress :roll: , the 2nd year I packed an extra T-shirt to sleep in, for the 3rd and 4th year, I wore the shirt that I am going to walk in the next day and kept my pants nearby, so that I can simply slip them on when I get up. I find that this is the most practical solution and I have one garment less in my backpack. Annerevrenjen said:I see several of you mentioned sleeping in your clothes. I start my first Camino in a month (woo hoo! Can't wait!) but the idea of sleeping in my clothes sounds dreadful. Are you really comfortable in your clothes? I was planning on a pair of light weight knit shorts and a tank top.
