What on earth do you wear to the zoo?!

[CharlieLimaHotel]

So, as suggested in the title I am going to the zoo on Thursday. Am a bit because I have no idea what to wear. Weather is supposed to be between 8-10 degrees so - coat? jacket? black or dark blue jeans? Brown or black boots? I'd just like some input from lovely people

Thank you in advance!

Seriously ? You can't get dressed without help ?
It's a trip to the zoo, not a fashion parade!

Ive only been to zoo in warm weather but I guess you could wear what you normally wear

Clothes

I can get dressed without help, I was just asking for some additional input.

Real fur.

I go to the zoo once a week and wear a range of outfits.

Don't go as a Plushie (don't google)

Don't wear a dark green Barbour and hang around the otter enclosure or else they think you're the keeper with their food and will screech for hours ....(happened to husband)

Seriously, take a coat that is easy to carry as there is a hot indoor rainforest bit, butterfly tunnel and reptile house

Also flat shoes for walking

Most people there are dressed badly, it's not a place to show off

Khaki and a pith helmet. I would accessorise with a nice over-the-shoulder blunderbuss and handlebar moustache. HTH.

Naturally, you would apply bootpolish to the faces of your children. They could then play the part of 'Pygmy Bearers', and carry any heavy items, like your picnic baskets or day tent. Don't forget the Pimms!

If you are going to see the lions, then go as a gazelle.

Viking helmet, wellies and a fairy dress? I've seen 2yo kids at the zoo who think this is suitable attire

I'd go for this sort of look.

To be fair, I once saw a woman wobbling round Twycross Zoo on something like these www.hisupplier.com/product-674603-Leopard-High-Heel-Platform-Sandals/and a miniskirt. It was a drizzly day too, I have no idea what she was thinking when she got dressed.

...perhaps her DP had said, "Today I'm going to take you somewhere really special for your birthday!"

Read the bit in Scoop where Boot gets kitted out, that should help. (I mean, are you serious?):)

Anything you like, I doubt the animals will be paying that much attention!

It's the zoo, not the Queen's garden party.

This thread has really cheered me up.

Jeans. Comfy shoes. A sign saying "I can't dress myself".

You could ask Lady Gaga if you could borrow her meat dress. That would really cheer the lions up.

at this thread

Oh funny!

I didn't realise there was a dress code for the zoo!

I've heard it all now!

Trills

Actually, if you can't manage to dress yourself for a trip to the zoo I'm not sure you should be allowed out by yourself anywhere

Hey?!!
It's 29th Feb not April 1st!!!

valium - oh yes!
