Most people dress very boringly.

They do though.

I'm sure the AMA is given with good thought and well done to the progenitor.

However.

It's all a bit rubbish isn't it?

@ImNotEntirelySureAboutThat How do you know your clobber isn’t boring. Might be bloody awful but you haven’t realised? 🧐

That wouldn't be boring, though.

I've met very few people who are genuinely creative dressers (I'm not one myself).

The chances of any of them starting a thread like this on Mumsnet is zero.

I love fashion but my idea of boring and your idea of boring are probably quite different and that’s good.

Are you quite young @ImNotEntirelySureAboutThat ?

I dress boringly but I don't care. I put a lot of effort into keeping fit and a decent weight, on my hair, skin, teeth and eyebrows. I wear minimal makeup, don't wear nail varnish and I don't wear accessories. I get lots of compliments.

I work with a few women who think they are edgy or different WRT their clothing and do have some sort of superiority complex over it. I think they look a mess TBH. Their clothes may be different, but they pay no attention to their personal wellbeing.

Most people? Surely it depends where you live.

So apparently most people dress terribly and according to your other thread, most cook dreadfully.

Do tell us where we're all going wrong OP?

Oh no, is it THAT OP???!!😴I'm out then.

If we were all peacocks it would deflate your canoe though wouldn't it OP?

Celebrate and thank us boring dressers - we allow you to shine bright like a diamond!

Personally I love a jazzy dresser, though have zero desire to be the jazz.
I was fascinated by a school dad in silver puffa jacket and yellow tights the other day. Couldn't stop looking at him, the marvelous beast.

Are we really still giving a shit about what other people wear?

The OP is just a goady F'er.

It is like the Mr. Darcy moment when he lists the traits of an accomplished woman and Elizabeth cracks up laughing. I bet the OP is just --below- "average" herself and has some kind of personality defect.

ATM I'm wearing joggers, a fleece top, a scarf and a quilted gilet. Boring as all hell but as warm as anything.

I think that's one of Bingley's sisters, isn't it? trying to put Elizabeth down because she has no accomplishments and likes reading - and Darcy's pointing out that they are all pretty shallow but reading and informing your mind is more important
