What’s the mum “uniform” in your area?

Another West London. So much Anine Bing. All pushing bugaboos with the odd babyzen yoyo. I recognise a fair few wyse shirts too, in this weather the collars are poking out of the knitwear. Fair amount of athleisure. I still see quite a few people golden gooses around, which is surprising. Loads of adidas sambas. The dads are all in Patagonia. These parents are often found in babboe style cargo bikes.

I love handbags so I’m always eyeing them up and a few of the mums at nursery have mini balenciaga city bags, its own microtrend and it’s made me want one!

Recent influx of women carrying the lulu Guinness Waitrose shopper.

Locals generally in work wear or country daily clothes (jeans, wellies, fleece), townies who have moved into the village seem to favour dressing like fishermen

Dry Robe, leggings and Crocs with sports socks pulled up high over the hem of the leggings. Awful. That's North West.

Haha first comment has it.

It’s a mixture here:

Lucy and yak/straight/wide leg jeans/paragonia/carharrt/Barbour/vivo barefoot/DMs/merry people

Shein/leggings with hoodies and tube socks/longline puffers/new balance

white stuff/mountain warehouse/insert other practical and inexpensive clothing brand

no one looks too ‘done’ though; heaven forbid.

Just normal mix of clothes, jeans, trackies, suits/workwear etc and warm coats.

Ha. I was just as just about to Google that!

There is no mum uniform here. Everyone wears what they want to. I wonder why Londoners are so conformist.

What's a Shein Set? Is it a track suit type of thing?

I’m rural and many of the mums are from the farming community so mostly practical clothes with muddy wellies or boots.

We don’t care about pointless things like keeping up with the Jones’s around here. 😂🤷🏻‍♀️

An oldie but a goodie - hope this is OK to post. My DS is well into secondary now but I remember having friends who were genuinely puzzled by the number of mums in their active wear back in primary 😂

It’s mixed at my school:

The country ones are: F and F knee boots, tucked in jeans or short skirts with tights, cashmere jumper, tweedy fitted jacket, blow dry or nice messy bun.

The gym gear ladies: usually bright colours, usually lulu lemon

The going to the office ladies: wide legged trousers, silk blouses or cashmere, proper wool coat, nice bag

Others: mostly jeans (wide leg), cashmere jumper, adidas suede trainers in a coord colour, wool coat. Very occasionally; flowery dress, oversized jumper, ankle boot, messy hair.

Cool city mums: all black usually with jeans, black DM style boots, sharp haircut which is then roughed up a little.

dads: usually chinos or jeans, smart trainers or boots, shirt, jumper, jacket or proper coat

No pyjamas, track suits, puffers, black leggings, dungarees, boxy quilted coats, walking or outdoor clothes, fleeces, lounge wear.

SD's school in Bucks, full of older yummy mummies. Hunter wellies, Barbour jackets, jeans, Range Rover, giant diamond next to wedding ring. I was at least 15 years younger than most of them and do not own any of those items.

Round here, they all seem to be around 21 and wear leggings and giant hoodies.

West London. Probably about half athleisure-ware but 'nice' stuff. The rest is a mix between workwear, often quite smart, and a pretty relaxed vibe. Cropped wide leg jeans + boots + cashmere is a fairly typical outfit and, indeed, what I wore to drop off DS this morning. Even in gym stuff, most people are on the smarter side of casual.

Warwickshire here and anything seems to go!

Whatever I am wearing to work that day. There definitely isn’t a mum uniform I’ve noticed.

Well here in suburban West London I no longer do the school run, they’ve been walking themselves for 3 years, but I really can not remember any details whatssoever of what mums wore at the school gate! And I’m pretty sure if you asked me 4 years ago the answer would be the same. Do they really all wear the same? We had such a mix, ages 25 to 55, muslim dress, leggings, jeans, smart suits, work uniforms, maybe pyjamas according to the newspapers!

Edited as double posted.

I don't do the school run much (and live in Berkshire not London) but when i do i see lots of full length puffer coats. I'm sure they are nice and warm but they make the wearers look like a load of hot water tanks waddling along.

When i was last on ML (2014) the mum uniform was jeans, black converse, breton stripe top and olive green parka. Absolutely every "mum" character on TV had the same parka! I had one and it wasn't at all flattering but very comfy though I had to stop wearing it because it made me look like a shoplifter.

Same round here, rural East Mids

Long time ago for me. I can't say I ever noticed what others were wearing. I did drop off and pick up on some days when not working and was fairly scruffy sometimes :-); if I was working I looked quite smart. I doubt anyone cared one way or the other. I see young mothers now doing the same, they all look ordinary enough to me.

Blundstones are the best - accept no sneers!

Swimsuits and Dryrobes around here (Kent coast)

Im in Ireland. Lots of leggings & 1/4 zip fleece tops. Trainers. Just been at a thing in the school and that’s the majority I think. No one is dressy.

Lots of leggings and New Balance / puffer coats. Dry robes.
But also people in fell running gear / outdoors work gear / gym gear.
A smattering of pale beige loungewear. A few suits.
Lots of sensible all-weather clothes.
Big oversize jumpers with leggings.

I'm in London and this doesn't resonate with me at all. I see people in smart work clothes, scruffy work clothes, gym clothes, traditional dress of different cultures, plus lots of jeans and t shirts. I haven't noticed a 'look' at all
