The leggings tucked into white socks ‘uniform’

[Beachwandering]

Is it me or is this all a bit sheepish - time for a new trend surely, ladies?!

Why does it matter what other people wear? Just wear what you want- it really doesn’t matter if others choose to be ‘sheepish’. Trends change and some people prefer to try and blend in which of course is fine.

I only see teenage girls wearing it like that. We all remember being a teenager and following the latest trend to fit in.

It’s a trend it will come and go, whoever doesn’t like the style can choose not to wear it. Lots of MN’s love places like Boden and I can’t understand why, but it’s none of my business and I hope everyone dresses the way they wan’t.

Round us it's a horse rider's uniform. Riding leggings and long socks - they take their boots off and stick on a pair of clogs or slip on shoes to go out shopping. Boots back on when they get in and back up on the horses.

So I didn't even realise that this was an actual 'look'. Here, it's just practical. Probably explains why I'm so unfashionable!

I've noticed a lot of teenage girls who wear thick black tights under their school skirts with white socks over the tights.
I think it looks GREAT because we did exactly the same 35 years ago at my school.
We often went for bright coloured socks or miss matched ones but I expect a lot of schools don't allow that these days.

I like it. I wear white slouchy socks for pilates and am in the process of knitting myself some pink and lemon striped legwarmers. Bring back the 80s!

I voted yabu.

It’s just socks over leggings. Isn’t it just like wearing tights or wearing a tshirt under a jumper? It’s kind of non descript.

As for being ‘sheepish’ most items of clothing you own are derived from a trend or influenced by something else.

No one is truly original, we might like to think we are, but we’re not.

I couldn’t move myself to be that bothered by someone else’s outfit unless I wanted to compliment them on it. “Ladies”. Pffft.

I can’t say I’ve noticed this here but then I don’t micro analyse strangers to the point I can comment on their socks 😆

I recently met dd's friend's mum for the first time. I put on a dress with trainers, it's my go-to look as it's smart but casual. She turned up with leggings with long white socks & sports trainers. She looked really good but it's not a look i would feel comfortable in. She's also 10 years younger than me....!

All my mates dress like this- they look great. I’m the odd one out but I love a trend and love noticing peoples take on them too

It’s hardly new, we were wearing socks over our leggings in 1987

Still better look than dropping kids to school in pyjamas 🤷🏼‍♀️

What you mean like the wildly outdated floral dress, white sneakers and denim jacket trend or the biker jacket trend over a dress trend or the jeans and a nice top trend?

who cares. Wear what you want. You don’t like it, don’t wear it

And anyway, sure ALL trends are sheepish by definition

you are requesting a new trend to follow? Weird.

I think it looks really sweet.

Haven't noticed many people wearing leggings other than at the gym.

I often have big fluffy socks on with leggings and fake Birkenstock clog things when I'm going to yoga or swimming, but it's a practical thing rather than a fashion statement.

Why are you bothered what ‘ladies’ wear? Stop looking and leave the ‘ladies’ alone.

At school 30 years ago I used to wear opaque tights and socks. Nice and toasty warm it was.

Surely every trend/fashion is sheepish ?

The thing is, why should anyone feel the need to follow trends or start new ones? Doing this most of the time means buying more clothes you don’t need, more clothes going to landfill etc etc. I think it makes far more sense to pick a style you like, that suits you, stick with it and fuck what everyone else thinks 🤷🏼‍♀️

Surely all trends are sheepish? I can't get worked up about the way someone wears their socks. Unless you go out dressed as Mr Blobby or with a massive dick on your hairband I doubt you're going to look very original. Just wear what you like and stop judging others for their seemingly practicle and comfy clothing choices.

It's not a 'uniform' round my way for anyone over the age of about 15

It’s me 👋🏼 Its just leggings and socks though… hardly outlandish for the school run?! It’s comfortable, it’s warm. I’ll admit the socks feel a bit ‘trendy’ but I don’t want cold feet 😂

What trend are you wanting to start OP?
