The leggings tucked into white socks ‘uniform’

Teen and mums uniform, and anyone's uniform for the last couple of years.

Add a Dry Robe and life is beautiful.

Uniform?

What clothing do you find acceptable?

I’ll be honest, I used to find myself noticing things about others when I was unhappy with my body. So I made a change, and no longer pick up on trivial things like this.

Let people be and do what they want, or work on yourself so that things like this don’t impact you.

🤍

can I ask.. WHY?

Someone created Dry robes which are the most comfy, warm and waterproof bit of clothing ever, WHY should we wear them for wild swimming/ mud races only?

What a waste of a fantastic garment that would be.

If you want to kill a trend, just get a cabinet minister to wear it 😁

Dry Robes becoming fashionable are the best thing that happened in the last century 😂

I used to be horsey, and still dog walk every day, so I've been wearing long socks with jods or leggings for over 30 years! admittedly they usually have wellies or country boots over the socks. Its not really a trend in rural areas, its just clothes.

I’d not heard of this but they sound comfy so now I’m going to get some.

I think people are glad of this trend, our ankles were cold in the trainer socks era, now at least we can wear full socks with our leggings.
I prefer leggings as a daily wear, it means I am comfortable for my life of school run, work from home sittjng at desk, excercise, dog walk, school run again, park trip, football kick about with the kids, cleaning the kitchen floor, running washing up and down stairs and standing in the cold while they do their sport activity.
Its my favourite trend as I can wear my leggings plus not have cold ankles and be comfortable doing all the above.
(Pre kids I was heels and dresses or smart jeans only, but I did not have any of the above activities to do).

There are always posts like this that seem to have an undercurrent of snobbery. There’s nothing wrong with it, some people like to follow trends and wear things to fit in, some people don’t. Sheepish own odd thing to say, I think everyone follows trends or popular items to some degree even if they don’t realise it, if it’s not clothes it’s home stuff or something else 🤷🏻‍♀️

It should be law that you can only wear a dry robe if you have literally just stepped out of a freezing pond.
Same with Uggs. Only legally acceptable if you have just finished surfing.

I wear socks over gym leggings every morning... as Im going to a gym class.

Round my way this look is being supplemented with those long Dry Robe jackets. I’m so tempted to get one as they look so cosy but man they are ugly 😂

I’m so old that I still wear trainer socks as the conditioning that socks pulled up is ‘nerdy’ won’t let go of me!!! I realise I’m not in fashion but don’t care. I think it looks alright on the people who wear it.

The only trend that actively bothers me is when people wear those capes that you’re meant to put on after outdoor swimming on the high street or in the supermarket miles from open water. I can’t explain why but I don’t like it

I wear it all the time, I got judged by some miserable cow in the patrol station over the weekend for it.
life is too short for moaning about people socks

I refuse to do this - fashion be damned. I am and always will be an ankle-sock millennial.

lighthearted too!

I don't find leggings specially comfy, so I wear more shorts than leggings - meaning bare legs but the usual white socks.

You can't see my ankles, but you can the rest of my legs. I wonder how you feel about that 😂(and again, in half a jokey way, I am amused)

I bloody love it. No more cold ankles, no more horrible sensation when your trainer sock is slowly coming off inside your shoe, no more bunching or riding up of the bottom of your leggings (I have skinny ankles). I hope this trend never goes away tbh!

I like it, it's comfy
The trend for "trainer socks" was not.

When white slouchy socks are trendy, you can buy them everywhere .No one is forcing you to buy them.

Oh the irony 😂

The fact that you’re asking MNers before deciding whether this trend is over, shows that you are more of a sheep than the people you are judging.

I’ve always worn leggings and socks, not always white. I often wear socks over tights too as I don’t like how tights slide about in shoes (and actually I prefer to wear footless tights and socks so my toes don’t get squashed).

I HATE (and I cannot stress how much I hate) having bare ankles unless it’s 25 degrees outside. I don’t even like other people having their ankles bare in spring/autumn/winter (the men wearing no socks trend gives me the biggest ick) but I accept I can’t police what other people wear.

I will be wearing socks and leggings even when it’s truly frumpy and the opposite of trendy. I won’t be going cold for anyone.

Are they supposed to be white? I have pilates this afternoon and all my socks are coloured...

I've missed the trend!

One of the many ridiculous rules at dc school is no socks and tights together. Even if it’s really cold. Another stupid rule is you have to wear a jumper if wearing a coat you can’t on a warm but rainy day for example wear the polo shirt plus a rain jacket 🤦

It’s my riding, dog walking, decorating outfit. Mostly these activities involve boots over, but in between trainers/sliders.

As I have been doing this for yeeeeeaaars i declare myself the trendsetter.

Love Ladysheep1

It’s my gym uniform.

I love my big white crew socks over my leggings.

I don’t care if it’s “sheepish” I’m there to concentrate on my workouts.

I really cannot see the problem. It is pleasingly nostalgic for those of us who remember slouch socks from the 90s. Socks under leggings are lumpy. Trainer liners leave the ankles exposed and cold.
