So if you don’t wear jeans, but like having pockets and are a bit of a messy pup...

What do you wear?

I’m a bit of a dirt magnet - very hard on my clothes. Feeling jeans are maybe a bit too... default for me these days? I don’t even get me ‘dress smart’ fix these days (working from home, -and our office attire has now gone ‘very casual’).

So feeling a bit slobby I guess...

I also really feel the cold!

I seem to be wearing my walking trousers all day now. They are like cargoes with many pockets, easy to wash and don't crease. Downside is that they are not smart...my son's new girlfriend said that I always look ready to climb up a mountain!

I usually look like I’m about to muck out pigs...

I sort the cold with silk thermals – not at all bulky, I wear them till they’re threadbare. If I could sew myself into them each October in the manner of a medieval peasant I would.

But also overly reliant on the “jeans and vaguely Zoom-acceptable top” WFH uniform. Trying to make the effort to do Chelsea boots + wool tights + corduroy dress with pockets + cardigan uniform instead. But often find myself then layering on blankets and hot water bottles at my desk.

I gave up jeans some time ago. Amie joggers from Hush are your friends. I’ve just bought my third pair.

Leggings under a hoody dress if at home. Or other dress with pockets. Preferably patterned so the odd splosh doesn't show.

Dresses all the time- all sorts of dresses, ranging from Cos, Hobbs, Palava, Edina Ronay , & Daughter, Eponine, Samantha Sung, Oska, local independent shops and even some ancient Laura Ashley and Orla Keilly. Almost all of them have pockets. In colder weather wear a long sleeved thermal vest and thick cardigan.

I don't own any trousers, jeans or leggings.

Joggers like the Hush ones from Sainsburys at £14 a pair. Dungarees
