I see the uniform of floaty dress, white trainers and denim jacket has survived the pandemic

@EvilPea

I’m too short and dumpy for the trainers bit

You are not. Go for it!

I've stopped wearing heels almost entirely except the occasional wedges; Dr Marten boots or sandals and Converses are now my staples (together with the odd pair from Fly London). Very formal attire is something I've been noticing people wear less and less, even before the pandemic came along. Suits me fine.

@maddiemookins16mum

Better than unflattering leggings and vest tops showing too much pasty flab.

You saw me out for my run/jog/walk/waddle in the park yesterday morning, then?

Don't worry, I won't offend your eyes for much longer - my gym membership goes live at midnight. Just stay away from my route home.

(How the fuck am I supposed to get fitter/slimmer if I'm only allowed to wear suitable clothing once I'm already fitter/slimmer?)

@NeverDropYourMoonCup - a burka for thee, lass, lest thy flesh offends! Seriously, well done on the fitness

Emerald hair?? I want that!!

At least there's colour. I like colourful clothing but for months people have been in black leggings and black puffas... bring on the chintzy florals.

I love this trend too. This is what I’m wearing today, minus the jacket as it’s really warm!

I am v much not a dress person, but just went on to Nobody's Child to score myself a dress. Everything in my size (12) is sold out. Bah.

I might pop into town after work to see if I can find anything. I have a 20wk bump but hoping for a floaty style with a stretchy/loose tummy area!

@MarieIVanArkleStinks

I was wearing this kind of thing in the 90s!

In the 90s I was more converse or DMs than white trainers but yeah there’s definitely a similarity 😊

@Flowers500

I love the fact that fashion now is such a hilarious clusterfuck. I love that some people are wearing trends from 2 years ago, some look like they’ve used their Ibiza outfits, others are in ball gowns, some still in head to toe gym. I don’t think there are any fashion rules at the moment!

There never are.

That active wear video is brilliant 👏🤣

I'm literally wearing a floaty dress from the 90's today.
I lost a couple of stone and I'm finding all sorts of things fitting me again . This dress is so old it has the St Bernard tag. Better quality than a lot of stuff these days , it's like new.

St Bernard

St Michael?

@Serpenta

Any takers for white sports sock teamed with sliders a la Justin Bieber?

I call it the mail box shuffle look. That’s the only time it’s acceptable.

I'm a new convert to white daps + summery clothes...although the floaty floral dress makes me look like Homer when he decides to be super fat! I blame the boobs, they make everything look like a marquee if it's not fitted

However I still wear bootcut jeans because they're my favourite style so maybe I'm confirmation that white daps are now passé

St Bernard is from the Irish Dunnes Stores chain

Oh right, apologies!

Lucky you. I was in town (central London) yesterday and saw far more bulging bare midriffs than I wanted or needed to.

I like this look. I don't do it myself thought. I'm more shorts, playsuits and sometimes cullotes. Comfy but cute.

As a pp said, it's so interesting seeing the diversity in people's summer outfits. Floaty dresses, crop tops, playsuits, jumpsuits, denim shorts etc.

I'm seeing a lot of puff sleeve denim jackets out and about - I must say I quite like them. Are they the latest thing? Don't seem to remember seeing them before.

I think it suits willowy women. I am also short and round and sadly it doesn’t work.

Good.
Practical.

I do the dress and trainers but look hideous in a denim jacket 😬

@JudgeJ fabric shops are full of cheesecloth/double gauze, broderie, and other airy textured cottons, this summer, so there is hope. I don't like wearing dresses but did make this top out of a Swiss dot cotton voile ready for the 3 days it's warm enough to wear it.
