What would you NEVER let your kids wear in public?

[JoeyBartonHanson]

Can be anything

So far I have managed to keep with,

No joggers outside the house
No charactered clothes outside the house but ok on pjs
There will never ever, ever, ever be any crocs 😡😡😡

My 9 year old and his 8 year old cousin will only wear skinny joggers. They’re comfortable and easy to wear. So shoot md

@HairycakeLinehan I've got visions of a group of friends going out, changing in to jeans (obvs because one can't be seen in public wearing sports gear....) the group deciding to play football so he runs home gets changed into sports gear, then after the game rushes home again to change again..... and repeat all day 😩😩🤣🤣

Oh god my boys live I sports gear and they're not particularly sporty! my 6 year old owns one pair of jeans he's worn once (he's very skinny with long legs so they're either too big on the waist or too short on the leg...... but more importantly they're so much comfier for playing and generally being kids!! Comfort comes first for me.

DD tried on DS's Paw Patrol cap and it made her look like Donald Trump so she won't be wearing that any time soon.

If DP started wearing joggers, I'd think it was fair grounds to leave him

I bought my DP joggers that he uses to relax in the house in the evening , because I think that when you wear a suit all day you need to be able to relax in easy clothes once your home

Who said baseball caps??? It's part of the school uniform. No hat, no outside play (year round- it's rarely below 20C by lunch tine). I agree with a MAGA hat tho.

I still have fond memories of toddler DS deciding wellies and a fleece hat&glove set were appropriate to add to his weather appropiate shorts and teeshirt. Lots of smiles in tje supermarket that day!

Meh, I can't get worked up about it. So long as it's reasonably weather appropriate and nothing hanging out that shouldn't be....

Given they don't particularly want to wear anything grim in public, the only thing I can think of is pyjamas.

I am massively, massively judgmental of pyjama-wearers in public - children and adults - and freely own it.

If DP started wearing joggers, I'd think it was fair grounds to leave him.

Absolutely.

Even then it’s not my place to judge.

LOL! You're a far better person than me. I judge silently in my head - and openly on Mumsnet - all the time.

Anything that's dirty or doesn't fit.

I also dislike sexualised clothing on young kids or inappropriate or sexist slogans.
But I am amazed at how controlling some parents are around clothing.

And I wear baseball caps when it is hot.

We try to aim for occasion appropriate outfits, but I’m not making a battle out of it. So for example, smart clothes to a restaurant. If they want to wear a clean, matching football kit to a friend’s (non football related) birthday party then fine.

I think it’s good for children to develop their own style and make their own clothing choices (including mistakes) as they get older. I didn’t have them to play dolly-dress-up.

Probably would allow a ‘fuck off fuckface’ slogan t-shirt until they were old enough to go out without me with them, though.

*wouldn’t

Denim jeans on newborns

Denim jeans on newborns though look really uncomfortable. I do think babies should be dressed comfortably.

Crocs

Deadpool
Paint his face black

Both have been requested and denied

@AngelsWithSilverWings
Does your dd really not wear leggings and T-shirts? That's all I see 10 year old girls wearing around here and everywhere actually.

My son's only have joggers or shorts. No other type of trousers
Plus in the summer my youngest ds only wears football kits.

Birthday suit.

The worn every day batman costume to school fir photo day.AS ds1, wore it everywhere, would grudgingly change into Spider-Man whilst it was decontaminated washed, but I drew the line at having full batman costume (mask and cape included) looking down from the wall. Though now he's 30 I wish I had.😆

character clothing, bikinis, overly girly, insidious toxic masculinity slogans. However we don't turn our noses up at some of the mentioned on here. My toddler is currently rampaging round garden in his pjs and crocs

I had a prejudice against bikinis for girls. Then my dd(9) asked for one, and I realised I couldn’t explain why I didn’t like it, other than for sun protection and possible falling off / sliding up reasons.

So we bought UV leggings and top, plus sporty (ie not going to come off when diving etc) style bikini which she wore early morning / late afternoon in the pool on holiday, with the UV top and leggings when the UV was over 5. Turns out, she got a lot less itchy wearing the bikini as her skin dried faster.

I still don’t do Heelys, though. Seems like asking for a trip to A&E.

I’ve always chosen bikinis over a one piece because it’s easier for wrangling small children going to the loo, rolling down soggy straps etc is a faff.

track suit. Nike or adidas trainers , bikini
