What clothes are you wearing over and over?

I’ve got tons of clothes but every day I go for black jeans and loose black jumper with a vest or top underneath for warmth.

Nowhere to go but presentable if I need to answer the door or put the bins out or pop to the shops.

When it’s in the wash it’s black joggers and blue jumper. More or less the same day in day out!

I wear jeans almost every day. I recently branched out and bought a pair of subtle camoflage print cargo trousers in dark green, which I really like... I sometimes wear walking trousers... I'm a support worker and very much still going to work at work. Nothing but jeans type things works - I need to be able to move easily, I need to go outside, I need fairly tough clothes which wash well and in which I won't flash anyone, I need, above anything, functional load bearing pockets!

I'm still trying to get the tops right, but I wear a lot of turtle necks.

Uniqlo heattech thermals underneath.

Leggings, thin roll becks, scarves. Might put a shirt on if I know I'm on camera (dread)

Black tracksuit nearly every day....start of lockdown I used to dress smartly for video calls, now it’s tracksuit and hoody every day. MD caught me out though, suddenly announced an emergency in person meeting, my hair was so greasy and I had to spend 2hrs getting presentable before racing into the office!!

MsOgyny · 10/02/2021 19:51

I never owned joggers or hoodies (well, since I was a teen...), until lockdown 1. Now every damn day I wear them. Every day! I'm a lout! Honestly I couldn't care. I see nobody and I crawl around a floor all day in a cold house.

Wondering if I'll ever return to the actually quite nice clothes I used to wear... the joggers are so damn comfy.

alanpartridgefromtheoasthouse · 10/02/2021 19:58

I have worn the same two pairs of fleecy tracksuit bottoms on rotation every single day since September. I put a smart top on for my Zooms though Grin

So nice to not wear a bra every day 😀

Flapjak · 10/02/2021 20:03

Msogyny - great name. I only recently bought a pair of joggers , first ones ever, and they are so so comfy, even better than leggings. Cant believe i was such a snob about them before🤣

I have been enjoying wearing joggers with nice jumpers and oh yes really comfortable and warm.

Surgical scrubs.

Littleguggi · 10/02/2021 21:00

Very worn and black faded maternity leggings even though my DD is 18 months old
Nursing bras even though I stopped nursing 6 months ago (haven't been able to go bra shopping)
3-4 jumpers with a vest on rotation
Fluffy socks and ugg slippers
Tights and a nice dress on the 2 days I leave the house to attend work with ankle boots
How depressing! I used to love dressing up!

Littleguggi · 10/02/2021 21:01

Haven't worn jeans in nearly a year

LucasLeesEyebrows · 10/02/2021 21:04

Skinny jeans and an array of jumpers - anything from chunky knit to fitted cotton. I need to look presentable for Teams meetings but warm and comfortable too.
In the summer it was midi dresses.

Fairydustrust · 10/02/2021 21:06

Black jeans. Comfy bra top. Cami top. T shirt and jumper..... I am just one corset away from turning into my Nana! Shock

nowlook · 10/02/2021 21:22

In lockdown 1, I wore Hush harem trousers, tan sandals and a variety of stretchy tops. In lockdown 3, I am wearing an ancient banana republic cashmere jumper dress, tights and boots. I am burning all items when this is over.

JustCallMeBrittany · 10/02/2021 21:26

Thermals, leggings, hoodie. I add one of 3 padded coats depending on how cold it is, I choose the appropriate weight, amd cashmere snood and hat. Have an indoor snood too 🤣 One bright jumper for external zooms, otherwise just wear usual.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 10/02/2021 21:26

I live in black jeans and black jumpers, or black leggings and a long black cardigan/black top.

VodkaSlimline · 10/02/2021 21:29

Thermals. More thermals. Jeans if leaving the house and not cycling, otherwise leggings. All of it black. Fleecy PJs if not leaving the house at all but between work and care bubble stuff I am getting out most days.

@Bluntness100

God honestly it’s not good here

I wear black leggings or joggers, a variety of black jumpers with a vest on underneath for warmth

When I have a work video call i put a nice top ans some make up on, then take it off straight after, and shove that days black jumper on,,

Once a week I wear jeans and a nice jumper and make up, for a zoom night with friends, not because I have to but because it’s nice to make an effort for me. And I’m doing fuck all else.

But yeah, I’m like morticia in lounge wear,,

If I was thin I would look just like Morticia right now! This is the longest my hair has ever been, and the darkest because of less sun exposure, and I basically only wear black loungewear.

Or maybe I just look like cousin it but in a track suit Blush

Ponks · 10/02/2021 21:38

Black jeans, vest top, long sleeved top, black roll neck, black roll neck cardigan, thick socks and comfy boots or trainers. Plus a big black cardi for extra warmth, taken off for zoom calls. It's very restful having a comfy black "uniform".

@UntilYourNextHairBrainedScheme the camo trousers sound good, have you got a link?

Crystal90567 · 10/02/2021 21:41

Work dresses over jeans seems to be my new look. Teaching over zoom all day. Just head and shoulders showing so done hair, makeup and necklace with work dress. Then jeans and fluffy slippers or neon fluffy socks. And often blanket too.

I think we are all modelling the munsters in lounge wear,,😃

troppibambini6 · 10/02/2021 21:52

I live in hoodies, tracksuit bottoms or leggings ans sheepskin slippers. Which I swap for sheepskin boots Shockif I leave the house with a puffa. I'm looking lush at the moment Grin
Combine that with the facial oil I'm slapping on most days instead of make up and I'm looking hot!

UntilYourNextHairBrainedScheme · 10/02/2021 21:59

Ponks yes but I'm afraid its unlikely to be much use unless you're also in Germany, sorry: www.cecil.de/Bekleidung-Accessoires/Hosen/Eng-Tight/Cargo-Hose-mit-Camouflage-soft-khaki.html

Anjelika · 10/02/2021 22:07

Fur lined leggings almost every day, sometimes over running tights if I've been for a run. Long sleeved thermal vest every day with either hoodie, sweatshirt or jumper over. Blanket over my knee and Berghaus fleece over if feeling really cold. Working from home full time and get freezing just sat still at a laptop all day. At weekends I might wear jeans.

rookiemere · 10/02/2021 22:12

I've just bought a couple of nice merino wool/silk tops from M&S Autograph range. They look much smarter than my usual sportswear for work and are warm enough for dog walking with just a coat on top. I bought a few pairs of jeans as well as decided it was time to wear something other than just running leggings on my bottom half.
