    I sweat like anything so they have to come off - luckily I do most of my exercise before work (at the gym in work) so I just change and shower immediately after.

    I often have to make stops on the way home, but once I'm home, the sweats come off and I wash my nasty *kitten*.

    Nope I have to take a shower and put on fresh clothes. Then again I take multiple showers anyway. Why idk. Hot water has always felt good to me since I was a child.

    No, not after working out.
    Beforehand, though...I've been known to wear workout clothes all day in anticipation of exercise.

    Absolutely depends on what I've been doing. If it's been a gentle stretching or toning workout then I'll probably mooch about in my work-out clothes for a bit.
    Normally after weights I come home for lunch and am starving so shower/change has to wait until food has been devoured.

    If it's running/cycling/spinning then hell, the workout clothes come off and showing is a priority.

    Also, I will quite often put my workout clothes on ready if I have a fitness class scheduled within the next few hours and then change afterwards.

    Nope, the room I work out in is right next to the bathroom, and I don't even sit down before dragging my butt in for a shower (not necessarily a hair wash because I'd ruin my mane if I washed it every day). Plus, the hot water on my just worked out body is so soothing, especially during the summer because then I actually feel cold afterwards - a definite plus when summer is pretty much from May to November at least!

    I do look forward to the day when I can go to the gym and wear a sports bra and capris and not feel like a cow. One day... one day...

    Work out clothes, though, before I've worked out, yeah, I'll totally wear those all day, no problem.

    It depends on my workout. If I've just done Pilates or something not super sweaty, I'll hang around in my gym clothes for a while, unless I have someplace to go...although I have no problem dashing to the market or Target in gym clothes sans makeup.

    If I've done something more intense and sweatier, I'll want to shower and change immediately. I don't like my clothes to feel moist. Heck, I don't even like the word moist.

    I go to the gym after work nowadays, and I usually smell like whatever I have been cooking that day, add that to the "gym" smell and yeah, i have to change and take a shower when I get home.

    True story, i had just walked in and was heading for the squat rack, waiting my turn when I saw a nice looking slightly older gentleman leaning in my direction and smiling in a questioning sort of way. I smiled back and he excused himself and said, "I'm so sorry to stare..." And I got a little happy because maybe my hard work was paying off..."But, do you smell like...smoked brisket?" SO deflated! And, truth...yes, I did, because smoking 300lbs of brisket will permeate...

    Sometimes my day gets busy the second I'm done working out, so I'll stay in them for an hour or so while I get the kids ready for school etc...but I'm breastfeeding my 8 week old daughter right now, so normally I have to change and clean up - because sports bras are NOT nursing bras lol

    It doesn't apply now because I'm an adult and workout much more on MY terms now. That being said, back when I was a hardcore ballet dancer as a teen, I would wear my dance clothes all day under a cover up because my mother would drive me to and from my lessons, and generally I didn't have a place to change into a fresh outfit after. Granted, I feel like as a teen I was less gross sweaty, so it didn't bother me at all. Now, sweaty clothes feel bunchy and gross and I would twist myself into a pretzel to get out of them and into something dry.

    I workout after work, at or near work depending what I'm doing that day, and by the time I get home after a 20 minute drive with the windows down, I'm pretty well dry and ready to start making dinner. so I often stay in them until bedtime but wipe down with baby wipes before starting dinner. If I'm really soaked or feeling gross, I'll shower as soon as I get home.

    This. If I have the kids, I have got to get them to bed before I can think of eating dinner or taking a shower. And usually dinner takes precedence.

    I'll keep them on until I get home, which sometimes is 30 minutes to an hour later. But once I'm home, I change. Most of the time, I'm running or biking outdoors so nowhere to change anyway. But, even when I meet with my trainer, I wear my clothes home and then change.

    That said, I wouldn't have any issues if I didn't change, other than being stinky.

    I take mine off after I'm done, and put on warm clothes. For some reason I get the chills after cooling down.

    After I workout, I may have to go the market, come home to make dinner, check homework, clean up,anything that includes getting the children ready for bedtime. I cannot stop to shower and put on dry clothing right away. So, 99% of the time I am in sweaty clothing until I can get to "ME" which is usually around 9ish at night.

    I can't got all day - when I run, I get drenched.

    Now that it is warm and sunny out though, I will linger in my running clothes while sitting in the sun on our back deck, cooling down before I shower.

    I do sometimes wear clean workout clothes out and about - especially if I'm driving kids around or running errands before a planned run.

    I have also gone to Starbucks for a smoothie after a group run, but we don't linger.
