I swore I’d never become this person…..

[findmeaunicorn]

I’m addicted to wearing leggings 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣
Next it will be the crocs 😱

Been wearing Crocs for years. Scoffed when I heard people were wearing Crocs with socks makes sense- stop your feet sweating. Haven't done it in public though🤣

I used to swear BLIND that I'd never be caught dead in either Birkenstocks or Crocs

Now I own multiple pairs of both 😭😭😭

So far have not worn Crocs outside - they're strictly gardening/patio shoes only

For now.

😭

Aren't we supposed to quote the OP?
Is it Mumsnet etiquette or something?
🤔 😊

Not really a leggings fan, however I recently bought some of those halara stretchy pants with wide legs after a recommendation on here and OMG they are heavenly to wear.

Me too - and proud of it!!!

although my leggings are actually cycle shorts today 🤪

We can quote the original poster, but not the original post (apparently). I think that it's because it's seen as taking up unnecessary space in the thread.

I only became aware of it after seeing other folk being told off by other Mumsnetters. I've accidentally quoted a few times myself - hit 'quote' instead of 'reply'.

Working a school so we aren’t allowed sandals or open toes. We are allowed to wear crocs with the back on.

Hence why I have several fake pairs in various colours.

I wear them with a dress in summer although I have trainers in my classroom should I need them!

Thankyou 😊

I live in my Llama Leisure leggings, and wear them for everyday and for horse riding, they are so comfortable! Never crocs though, I have wonky toes that would stick out of the holes. 😁
The absolute best ad that ever appeared on Facebook, which lured me in to the wonderful abstracts and patterns that are Llama.

Wrong thread ladies. Sorry 😐

Omg I went OUT yesterday evening in a short skirt with leggings underneath. Just thought I'm not exposing my white skinny legs to ridicule. Not even fake tan works on them

Too fucking true🤣🤣🤣

Embrace the Crocs. I used to think they were ugly but now I own several pairs. Even worse they're not even proper Crocs, just cheap knock off's. I've started wearing them in public now. DGAF!

This is me too. I’ve barely worn anything except leggings for the last 5 years (since I turned 40 or so) although I do wear some legging style trousers at work which are not quite leggings. So far my crocs are only for the garden but I am quite fond of teva type walking sandals.

Please do! The leggings sound brilliant 😊

I lost my dignity a long time ago …..surely there’s no more to lose….. but I’m only 39 so yes on second thought there perhaps is 🤣

Oh, but to add to a pp, it's pretty fashionable now https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/fashion/article/socks-and-sandals Frankly, I can't believe my father's favoured summer look has actually become a trend.

Looks at self wearing gym leggings and a t-shirt 😂No crocs, but socks over the top (no apologies.. gen Z were right about that one!)

Me too. I was always barefoot at home, but now I literally step into my Crocs when I get out of bed and no more pain.

Where are the leggings and sock wearers? It's been 25 degrees where I am today and I am in a linen dress and underwear only.

One day....one day your feet will be hot and swollen, you'll struggle to stand up for long,then the siren call of Hotter will beckon you forth.....

Sock wearer here 👋 in northeast Scotland.. it hit a balmy 20° here today lol but I’m not a fan of bare feet anyway

I have the joy of wearing crocs to work everyday and i love it !
Also i have worn leggings around the house since lockdown , i am reliving the 80's ! i confess to wearing them to a garden centre today too and i don't really give a shit !

I used to wear leggings when I did a lot of walking. We used to go hut to hut in the alps every summer. Now I only have bike shorts and that's so that my fat thighs don't clap when I'm wearing a dress (very rare occurence)

Crocs. No never. Can't abide rubber footwear of any sort. I am however addicted to Birkenstocks. But that's been the last 30 years of my life.
