What’s your ‘mum uniform’?

Oohooh · 05/04/2024 18:29

Bit of a lame expression but I’m looking to buy new clothes that are practical for school run, park etc but easy to throw on together (ie not buying in outfits) and not too slobby/hideous. Just interested to see what everyone else wears, at 32 I’m too old for teen fashion but not ready for Next/Boden yet 😂

Next online is my go to. It has so many brands, not just Next. You can order a ton of stuff and try it on at home.
I am wearing wide leg trousers (Next petite is a god send to me being short) and white converse/trainers alot at mo. Also cargo trousers, yay the 90s revival 😄

Jeans and a t shirt. I buy the t-shirt bundles from rapanui.

YaMuvva · 05/04/2024 22:56

I’m lucky enough to WFH so I wear casual wear on the school run - usually smart joggers and a t-shirt and trainers much like this

Lucy and yak elastic waistband bottoms and a tucked in vest.

Jeans and jumper.

Cute dress with leggings in winter and canvas shoes in summer.

Basically anything that gives me a waist.

SecondHandFurniture · 05/04/2024 21:52

Wide leg jeans, platform Converse and a tucked in t shirt. At this time of year, with a leather jacket.

Previousreligion · 05/04/2024 21:48

I've also worn Next since my teens 😂

Go to in winter is dark jeans and a cashmere or Merino wool jumper, or a jumper dress and knee-high boots.

Go to in summer is a cotton dress, usually fit and flare, often Hobbs or Laura Ashley, with sandals or white trainers.

Orangeandgold · 05/04/2024 21:27

Long skirt - mainly because I never get the time to shave my legs. Dr Martens boots but also have Chelsea boots. An 80s style jumper if it’s cold or a tshirt if it’s cold.

Maxi dress if all else fail.

CommeIlFaut · 05/04/2024 21:26

This time of year, for casual dress I’m often in dark blue jeans, loose cashmere sweater, green Onitsuka Tiger trainers, a Uniqlo foldaway coat and bright socks.

I’m not sure it’s super stylish but it is warm and presentable.

tulipdoo · 05/04/2024 21:17

I love flared leggings at the moment with a slightly oversized hoodie or jumper.

I have sensory issues with jeans so try and avoid them.

Ineedanewsofa · 05/04/2024 21:16

I only do school runs on WFH days so usually adanola leggings, 327s and an oversize jumper/hoodie or riding leggings, yard boots and an overside hoodie 😂
If it’s cold I’ll add my padded ‘mum’ coat or my Equidry (dry robe for horse riders) depending on heading to the horses or not. Either way I’m practically and comfortably dressed for what I’m doing post pick up

Why do so many wear leggings with socks pulled up & a cold water swimming jacket thing?

lol I think it’s fashionable as women do this on my school run too! I don’t own the swimming jacket unfortunately!!

Eleesah · 05/04/2024 21:05

Yoga pants and a fleece top

OnlyTheBravest · 05/04/2024 21:04

Oversized jumper, leggings, trainers

2ndMrsdeWinter · 05/04/2024 21:00

Oversized shirts, sweat shirts, knit jumpers and tank style tops on top.

Cargos, leggings and yoga pants on the bottom.

occasionally a comfy top and matching pants two piece in a jersey/saweatshirt or linen material.

always trainers or birks.

A trench or long puffa weather depending.

it’s all very simple and easy to throw on.

ThankFitsFriday · 05/04/2024 20:59

Adanola leggings and jumper with trainers - super comfy, quick to put on but also quite modern looking.

pambeesleyhalpert · 05/04/2024 20:58

Gym leggings and oversized jumper. I've just had a baby so have been living in normal leggings which I don't like. when I get to my goal weight I'm treating myself to new sweaty bettys and lulus. Cliche but comfy so don't care

HeadsShouldersTitsandArse · 05/04/2024 20:56

Mom jeans, white vest, blue long sleeve lightweight shirt.

Mom jeans and various T-shirts/jumpers.

leggings, vest and a maxi cardigan.

juniorspesh · 05/04/2024 20:55

Lots of boilersuits.
Black cashmere sweater and Adidas three stripe workout leggings.
Hoka trainers or Birkenstocks.

Avoiding long puffas and those bobble hats with a fur fabric bobble as mum-cliché.

I wfh and live opposite the school gates so consider anything up from pyjamas to be a win.
