If you’re currently under the red or amber warning for extreme heat, what are you wearing?

I have just got in from work, had a cool shower and just put on a pair PJ shorts and top.
So stylish right? 😂

A linen dress from M&S that I can just pull over my head.

tipsyraven · 24/06/2026 17:05

A loose linen jumpsuit minus underwear.

Denim shorts and a halter-neck vest top. Camera switched off for work Teams calls.

A cotton shirt dress 3 sizes bigger than I'd usually wear - partly because of the heat, and partly because I'm very pregnant! I've never had such a roomy waist nor sleeve situation before.

I sweated my way round the shops this morning so now I’m in my new black cotton shorts, with a vest top tucked up underneath into my bra to make a crop top. I have unavoidable baking to do this afternoon so I’m wearing as little as possible.

40+4 today with an above 99th centile toddler baby.
So a pair of DH’s stretchy undies… and nothing else. Literally nothing else fits me.
Cry for me x

That doesn't sound fun at all. Makes me thankful mine are all winter born - I've never been heavily pregnant in heat.

Hope you get to meet little one soon.

I am in linen shorts and a vest with a damp muslin round my neck. Muslin was in freezer and is now just about to be swapped with the other one I have in the freezer.

Sports bra and pants. I'm alone in the house 😁

Me too!

mrsrobin · 24/06/2026 17:12

Bikini - and I have been out the front on display to the neighbours!

Nannyfannybanny · 24/06/2026 17:13

My PJs,thin loose cotton shorts, cotton top with skinny straps,no bra.. We're detached and not overlooked. But covering a lot more than I've seen the school girls wearing!

AClassicTrenchcoat · 24/06/2026 17:14

bra and knickers. If the door goes I m not answering

Isobel201 · 24/06/2026 17:14

my long nighty that is light enough to wear but long enough so I can sit on the leather settee without sticking to it (working from home). I nipped out yesterday to my chiropractor and pulled my joggers on for it, but switched back as soon as I got home.

Allseeingallknowing · 24/06/2026 17:15

Googled and sent for a crinkle cotton kaftan from Cotton Traders!

Why? No different to a bikini!

Bikini with a beach dress over the top.

Wre · 24/06/2026 17:16

Bikini before and after the gym.

Lentilcakes · 24/06/2026 17:19

Short shorts & vest top. Was inside most of day trying to work but gave up as I was melting!

itsgettingweird · 24/06/2026 17:22

Wore a dress to work.

Home now with cycle shorts and sports t shirt on.

wet towel over my legs!

PrincessHoneysuckle · 24/06/2026 17:23

Strapless short playsuit.look like a 5ft 9 toddler

GaIadriel · 24/06/2026 17:27

Heavy safety trousers, work boots, long sleeved polyester top, and a hardhat with ear muffs for most of the day. I'm now in the gym in leggings and t shirt loving the freezing air con.

OpenGoose · 24/06/2026 17:29

Silk nightie

Dingledanglebinglebongle · 24/06/2026 17:34

Short shorts and a strap vest.
I wore one of my partners vests this morning for the school run because it’s baggy and I thought it would be cooler, then a realised it’s horrifically see through and now I understand why I got so many looks.
I also wasn’t wearing a bra, pretty confident all of the other parents saw my breasts and nipples.

When I say everything was visible, I mean everything.

StabiaGirl · 24/06/2026 17:35

A sarong.
Yes I know it's sarong but needs must.

youalright · 24/06/2026 17:39

Bra and hot pants. Praying nobody knocks on the door

henlake7 · 24/06/2026 17:40

pajama shorts and vest top.
I hate my legs though so if I go out I wear thin cotton pajama bottoms (if I say they are trousers...then they are trousers!!)😆

murasaki · 24/06/2026 17:41

A very baggy t shirt and denim mid thigh shorts that are now a bit big so sit on hips not my waist.
