Winter: socks, used to be thick ones (with reinforced soles, so that I didn't need slippers) but as winters have been getting warmer possibly just "ordinary" ones now instead...
(it's okay, I'm not really... Altghough I am bare footed at the mo. I wear socks most of the time that I have shoes on, but I pad around the house and garden barefooted. If I'm in sandals then no socks, and I rarley wear them with shorts, and if I do I tuck them under to form trainer socks that you can't see.)

Vote 1: Jersey trunks
Vote 2: BSOD
Vote 3: Summer = No socks, slippers for wandering round in case the kids have left me a nice painful surprise for treading on. Socks worn with trainers when outside to avoid blisters.
Vote 4: Winter = Socks and slippers (see above)
I go barefoot around the house in summer when it's warm enough. My feet get cold easily though, and I get cramp in my right foot, which is no fun. For indoor wear, I wear Chinese cloth slippers, those black ones you see in period-set Hong Kong movies; they are *so* comfy. The soles wear out fairly quickly on hard surfaces like pavements, so I only wear them outdoors for short trips.
One of the disadvanges of my attic flat is only having one window that actually has a view out, which is the bathroom window (clear glass with a curtain for modesty when needed). On the other hand, this means that in really hot weather, I can wander around wearing nothing more than the minimum of underwear required for support and comfort, and no one can see me :)
