Black sporty legging
Mint velvet jumper (white, grey)
Veja trainers
Trench coat etc...

Is it all just cliché...😬

Leggings belong only in the home or for sports unless you are at least 5'10" amd weight under 8 stones

No need to project your own insecurities on to the rest of us, thanks.

5ft5 and 10 stone, and love my leggings, thanks.

@sweepeep

Ok maybe sack off the trench and replace with black gilet!
Either is fine, trench coats look really good over that kind of combination. (Especially when you're slim). Long gone are those days for me! Wear what you like when you're young & have the figure for it! I'm glad I did!!

Athleisure wear & vejas is a uniform but it would normally be a puffer not a trench.

girlmom21 · 11/04/2022 09:46

@switswooo nope - velvet should be illegal Grin

Not how they are worn in 2022, you ideally should wear them if small & very curvy with white trainer socks pulled up.

Since we are in AIBU and not S&B can I ask, isn't it just a jumper?

colosmbo · 11/04/2022 09:48

i like velvet

QueenSerena · 11/04/2022 09:49

Your outfit sounds lovely - I love Mint Velvet - and so do you OP Smile Enjoy your day out!

mrburrsir · 11/04/2022 09:51

I don’t recognise this ‘look’ at all! Maybe I’m not very observant? Sounds like a nice outfit though

Boood · 11/04/2022 09:52

YABVU for failing to put a “d” on the end of “clichėd”. I’m not usually a grammar pedant, but that one particularly irritates me.

Nitgel · 11/04/2022 09:55

I love my velvet jeans. Velvet us lovely :p

Mint velvet is overpriced though for what it is.

JeffThePilot · 11/04/2022 10:11

I have a pair of velvet leggings. What does that make me? 😂

sweepeep · 11/04/2022 10:11

I'm 5'4" and 8st....not that it matters

@Boood yes thank you...totally overlooked that!! 🤣

Just joining in for the leggings debate and the velvet debate really. What about velvet leggings?

Cross posted. Great minds think alike.
Wanderingowl · 11/04/2022 10:13

To be totally honest, as someone who lives in athleisurewear, it sounds like an awful lot of money spent to look totally ordinary.

MermaidEyes · 11/04/2022 10:15

Tbh aren't most looks pretty clichéd? Unless you're wearing something that's totally out there you're going to fall into one of the clichéd brackets.

Fairyliz · 11/04/2022 10:16

Flipping typical I have just bought a velvet jumpsuit for a night out and now I find it’s a no no.
(Misses point of thread)

I love leggings. If you are an apple shape with good legs they are your savior. I struggle with structured trousers due to my disproportionate waist. I’ve already had skinny jeans taken away so go one up with denim altogether. You aren’t having my leggings as well.

I am mind-blown 🤯
Chikapu · 11/04/2022 10:18

Sporty leggings and a trench coat? Yikes!

Bluetowelsandflannels · 11/04/2022 10:19

I didn't know Veja were trendy and I'm wearing a pair! I love the whole recycled rubber tyre look !

GetOffTheTableMabel · 11/04/2022 10:22

@sweepeep

🤣🤣 oh sorry yes the brand is MInt Velvet and it's colour is grey or I have a white one also that I could wear.

Just for an average day out with dc...

Just go and enjoy your *average day out with dc” without fretting about whether your outfit is a cliché and consulting strangers on the internet about it.

What’s the worse thing that could happen? A random stranger at the park silently judging your clothing selection?

vitahelp · 11/04/2022 10:23

Sounds good to me, I'm about to order some Veja trainers and will probably wear them with leggings too, so perhaps I'm a bit cliché too Blush
