Am intrigued why this thread started - OP what do you wear? Is it just mums you’re interested in or dads?
I think its quite an interesting topic to be fair. Seeing that the thread has been started I am interested what is worn at school drop off off and seeing thedifferences in fashions or style. However I have no interest in what dad's are wearing.
I dont do a school run but I am often at school gates at drop off and pick up time in the town where I work.
There does seem to be a trend that people have an al.ost uniform approch to to what they wear at individua schools.
Most of the schools are as op described and, although not exactly glamour wear, they look immaculate with hair usually long and dyed shades of light and dark blonde, false eyelashes, nails and make up done, all slim and all interchangeable with each other.( I have never achieved a day time polished look in my life and I am quite envious! 😆)
In the more rural areas there is definitely a divide. Some mums are from working farms and will come in old leggings, old jackets , little or no make up and wellies or hiking style boots. I hardly recognise them when I see them out of their working clothes glammed up on an evening out. At the same school you will get the affluent country mums who probably last went to a farm when they were in year 5. They have expensive cars, expensive clothes and expensive ( i guess) make up and beauty treatments.
There are one or two schools that have a few mums in pjs and a pufa jacket.
None of what I am saying is a criticism or judgeing anyone.
It's just interesting how people almost become tribal and want to fit in with each other. Over the years I sometimes wonder who starts a particular look at school and why that person's look gets adopted.
