What to wear?

I was thinking about the perfect garment for kicking around the homestead. I want something simple and comfortable that can be worn in numerous weather conditions. Top picks are:
The great kilt or Caftan with sandals*

*While I love barefooting and letting my feet breathe, I realized on a camping trip a few years ago that shoes are essential for certain environments. (Sorry Barefooters!) While gathering firewood (after dark!), I stepped on a broken branch and put a nasty gash in my foot. Then I proceeded to step on a turd that some moron had neglected to bury in a cat hole. It made me think I was in the Nam... I promptly washed out my wound and recovered without infection, etc, but I had learned my lesson.
