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.

My DH refuses to wear shorts or short sleeved T shirts. It's his choice and nothing to do with anyone else.

Also I'm autistic. Clothes issues are a thing for me. Am I supposed to not be disabled to suit you op?

mibbelucieachwell · 19/07/2022 13:30

Oh my goodness. It seems it's beyond outrageous that anyone should post an opinion about being inappropriately dressed for hot weather.

KeyboardWarriorsUnite · 19/07/2022 13:31

Also, I NEVER wear shitting dresses

Ahh, but do you wear a shitting hat?

Who are you to say whether I am or am not too warm or too cold?

Nice to get abit of sun on your legs. A tan looks nicer than pasty white.

That's a hard pass on the melanoma, thanks.

Why is it okay to be so rude about pale skin??
Imagine if OP had said she hates to see black or brown people in summer clothes with all that dark skin on show! Seriously just leave people be. You're not entitled to spout shitty offensive opinions.

I think white skin looks just as beautiful as any other skin colour. Red hair and white skin is a gorgeous combination, for example. No need to add adjectives like 'pasty' to try to make someone's skin type seem unattractive.

This!!

DeanStockwelll · 19/07/2022 13:40

I have to wear heavy cotton cargo trousers and thick polo t-shirt and until bosses relented this morning a blazer .
all in black
So please excuse me for not wearing the clothes you would prefer to see me in as I value my job and safety more 🙄

LetsPlayShadowlands · 19/07/2022 13:43

I bet you're the same type of person that complains we don't get on with things like they do in other hot countries. We'll guess what, people wear normal clothes in hot countries

'Inappropriately dressed' in the OP's opinion. Quite. But the people not wearing the OP's required clothing are all happy with their decisions and have valid reasons for doing so.

I was gonna say this. Beat me to it! Totally agree!

Nope still here and it was a genuine post. My opinion.

Don't worry, I break up the pasty white with thick bands of varicose blue.

I shitting don't. Grin I am not in the direct sunlight though.

TheDepthsOfDespair · 19/07/2022 13:46

I like being covered up and in any case I don’t really have very many clothes. I’m not wanting to go and buy stuff for the sake of a few days of heat…. Usual summer wear for me is jeans, vest / tshirt & sandals.

This. ^ As a pp said, imagine flipping the coin and coming out with such disparaging remarks about dark skin. Hmm

bananaboats · 19/07/2022 13:48

I get an air conditioned bus to sit in an air conditioned office all day, don't particularly want to sit freezing in a sun dress all day!

mibbelucieachwell · 19/07/2022 13:49

nca. I'd imagine you're fine in your jeans - at your current temperature of 17. 17 isn't hot.

Tbf I feel very sorry for anyone who doesn't feel able to wear cooling clothes when it's hot. Or who can't afford cool clothes for the few days in Britain they're needed. It's people in jeans who could wear something else complaining about the heat which irritates me.

nca · 19/07/2022 13:50

Also. I'm upset.

I have extensive scarring on my legs. It's ugly and I'm self conscious.

I had someone comment on the scars in Tesco and I've decided not to subject the rest of the world to them in future.

Is that ok with you op?

It was 30 yesterday. I was still in jeans. My scars are ugly. I feel the cold. I hate the feel of air on my skin.

Is that ok with you?

Can you stop bringing black and brown people into white people arguing about white skin?

A black or brown person hasn't called anyone pasty.

ScarlettSunset · 19/07/2022 14:00

I wear jeans year round. It's what I've got. I'm wearing them today and I'm quite comfortable thank you.

If you can't see my legs it doesn't matter what they look like
