Wearing jeans in this weather

Why are people still not wearing summer clothes in this weather?
How hot does it need to be before people get their summer wear out?
If they go abroad would they pack winter wear.
Aren't they hot being overdressed in this weather.
Fgs get your summer clothing out. It's crazy.

Wow. Maybe they can’t afford any?

luxxlisbon · 19/07/2022 10:45

Plenty of people need to continue on with their life and go to work. They can’t wear sundresses or beach shorts.

Why does it bother you what other people wear?

19lottie82 · 19/07/2022 10:45

Or maybe they’re body conscious? Who cares?

Icanstillrecallourlastsummer · 19/07/2022 10:45

Why on earth are you bothered by what other people are wearing?

When it's this hot, covering up is better for you than having lots of skin exposed to the sun anyway.

MrsSkylerWhite · 19/07/2022 10:45

Why does it trouble you 🤷‍♀️

coffeecupsandfairylights · 19/07/2022 10:46

Why does it matter? Lots of people don't feel confident in shorts or dresses.

Happyfuture · 19/07/2022 10:46

I'm fat and have the worst legs so I refuse to not wear jeans when leaving the house. If it makes any difference I've got my ripped jeans on today for a bit of ventilation 🤣🤣🤣

BooksAndHooks · 19/07/2022 10:47

I only have jeans or cropped jeans that fit currently after putting on a few pounds nothing of mine fits. I can’t wear open toed shoes so I stopped buying any summer stuff that go with Sandals.

GroggyLegs · 19/07/2022 10:47

I can remember being an overweight teen & still squeezing into jeans because I'd rather melt than show my legs 😔

I now wear the damn shorts.

Fairislefandango · 19/07/2022 10:47

Or maybe they don't feel the heat as much as some people do. Why on earth does it matter to you what other people choose to wear? Confused

Yodaisawally · 19/07/2022 10:48

So many reasons I can't be bothered to type them.

What does it have to do with you?

Sannesmom · 19/07/2022 10:48

Why do you care? I wear what I want

WolverineBluey · 19/07/2022 10:50

I don't own any shorts, or indeed anything that shows off my legs like summer dresses. I just prefer to be covered up and that's all there is to it I think Grin

KylieCharlene · 19/07/2022 10:50

I only have leggings, jeans or dress trousers.
Don't go abroad or have any 'summer clothes' and I'm certainly not buying anything especially to wear for 2/3 days a year.
I'll sweat it out.

CrisisCafe · 19/07/2022 10:50

Maybe they prefer to be covered up? Maybe their jeans are lightweight material? Maybe they are loose fitting clothes, so cool, but they don't fit your idea of "summer clothes"?Maybe they don't feel the heat as much as you? Maybe they are going somewhere with fierce air conditioning? Maybe they like the heat? Maybe they hate the sight of other bodies sweating away in their unflattering summer clothes and don't want to look like that? Maybe their house is cool and they've just popped out for a minute?
"Summer clothes" aren't obligatory.

AyeUpMeDuck · 19/07/2022 10:51

I'll wear what I like thanks.

Seeing all these filthy sweaty feet in flip flops and flimsy bits of cloth that the UV will burn through annoys me, but I wouldn't tell them to cover up and wear sturdy boots.

JustDanceAddict · 19/07/2022 10:51

DH has gone in to work w dark polo shirt w company logo and Jean type trousers. I’m sure he could buy smart shorts and wear a thin shirt. It’s his own company and money is not an issue!
im going in to work soon in a vest top and thin 3/4 length shorts.
There are many alternatives to jeans if you need to cover up for whatever reason.?

Mally100 · 19/07/2022 10:51

Well aren't you a busy body? What is it to you?
Some people feel more comfortable in jeans, some people can't afford a whole summer wardrobe, some people are you know working not dwaddling around, some people don't want to. Can't see how this concerns you.

SweetPetrichor · 19/07/2022 10:51

I prefer to have the added layer of skin protection. I don’t like shaving my legs. I could go on.

What on earth has it to do with you?

Anotherdayanotherdollar · 19/07/2022 10:52

Who are you, the fashion police??

Many, many reasons why people are wearing jeans, and none of them are actually your business

MythicalBiologicalFennel · 19/07/2022 10:53

Some people seem to lack awareness of their own body if that makes sense? My eldest is like that
"Mummy I'm so hot"
"Take your coat off"
"Oh..." she genuinely wouldn't consider it. 11 year old, top marks in school, some non NT traits

MiniMoosey · 19/07/2022 10:53

I used to be so self conscious that I would literally sit on the beach in the summer in jeans and a long sleeved too.

Now im older I don’t care so much but you don’t know what people are thinking!

Maybe they dress for the body they have not the body they want?
