Why would I want to waste 10 minutes of crew rest running up to the hotel room to change when I'm already starving after 5 legs with no food? Go ahead and take your epaulets and tie and whatever off so you end up in a plain white short-sleeved collared shirt and plain black/navy pants...people will think you're Mormons coming back from a mission.
I shed the boards, badge and tie when I leave the airport because I don't like all of the stupid questions when I'm trying to relax for a meal. It only takes a minute. I haven't notice any weird "are you a Mormon?" looks. White shirt and dark blue slacks are pretty understated in my book.
