Is there a ‘mum uniform’ where you live?

[ForZanyAquaViewer]

I was at a play group the other day and noticed that, despite being of varying ages (although mostly 30’s, I’d guess), races and sizes, the mums (including me) were mostly wearing slightly battered Vejas, straight cut jeans, baggy jumpers and some sort of tote (predominantly Mulberry). It’s apparently the uniform in this particular SW London suburb.

Is there a mum ‘uniform’ where you live? If so, what is it?

”slightly battered Vejas” exactly - also SW

Attire Depends on the clique
Gym mums^ - swishy high ponytail. Make up. Expensive gym gear. Athleisure. Neon trainers.

Fur baby mums - puffer coats, trainers. Boots. Jeans
Oligarch Husband Mums - poker straight hair, think ivanka. All year tan.a massive sunnies irrespective of weather. Heels. Never trainers. Conspicuously branded items. Fug of expensive parfum
out doorsy mum/ heath mum Giant robe coat thingy.Ankle Boots . Skinny Jeans
Liberal arts/theatre mums - unbrushed hair.curated clothes that look mismatched but are all from toast , me and em and artisan stores to channel that I’m a ceramicist vibe

Lip fillers and hair extensions where I am 🤣

Just wear what you want and don’t feel pressured to follow the latest fashion. It’s all a big con to make people spend money on clothes they only buy to stay on trend anyway and just adds to landfill in the long run.

Yes, leggings with either a baggy sweatshirt or a zip jumper with ankle socks over the leggings or wide legged trousers/jeans with a jumper and nice trainers. I actually love these looks! So comfy yet stylish too

This is a popular look for some of the carers in a local SEN school, but they wear crocs, long white socks over dark leggings. Their ages are between 28 and 28yr! It's a horrendous look imo

No definite mum uniform in my grandchildren's playgroup or at school pick up. Lots of different looks, so very mixed. I've seen the white socks over leggings in other areas but where they live is quite posh so wouldn't be worn. I don't notice makes of trainers, so no idea but my daughter tells me no one wears vejas any more. I haven't noticed any Mulberry totes or even totes in particular.

Lots of country/equestrian wear round here. ARIAT and Holland cooper mainly. I wear leggings, dubarry boots, HC hoodie. Rural location so warm and country casual!

I think its like nike socks over leggings..seems popular in Devon with the mums i see out and about.

My god, that's everywhere here (Brum)

In North Somerset I’ve found pyjamas to be the mum trend with crocs 😳

Pyjammas and Dry Robe.

Cameltoe.

I'm guitly of socks over leggings! 😂 It started when I was pregnant and I wore compression socks every day. I made it my own look and still do it with compression socks or wool socks depending on weather. And I mean knee-high socks (with patterns/colour). And runners. 😄
I'm in Vancouver, so head to toe Lululemon is common as is topping with a full length puffer as other have mentioned. Uggs also make an appearance, but they're not for me. I have standards. 😭😭😭

No one seems to have mentioned hair in a ballerina bun (me), sleek pony (also, me) or the "messy" versions that are actually carefully constructed. Nails and false lashes are also super common (not me).

My 17 year old has started wearing leggings, socks, and crocks...sometimes converse. I've disowned her over the crocs and socks.

If they are worn with beige leggings they look just like chicken drumsticks

It's the crocks for me. 😵‍💫

Stroud or Hebden Bridge??

Rural County Antrim here. We're a bit behind. Grans in floral skirts and anoraks. Mums in skinny jeans and anoraks. Dads in super dry,

Page 20 and still no further clarification on the gnome shoes, very disappointing.

I now do socks over leggings for the gym, where I am it's only over 40s who hide their socks. It takes me back to secondary school in the mid 80s and I really like the look 🤣

vejas and mulberry? Where do you live op, 2010?

Bristol

There was a picture a few pages back

Merseyside. Gym clothes. They're not going to the gym; they just want you to know they don't need to go to work.
