I'm 5 foot 5 and pregnant. Linen trousers and a vest top.

Mulledjuice · 23/06/2026 15:54

A cotton kaftan (it's plain navy + has a collar so it looks smart) and an M + S cool comfort slip underneath.

Idontjetwashthefucker · 23/06/2026 15:55

Today, navy & white striped cotton trousers, white vest, short sleeved navy shirt unbuttoned, and Tevas as they are the most 'open' shoes I have

Yesterday - Uniqlo skipper blouse and navy cotton chino trousers
Today - white cotton shell top and TU navy pinstripe wide-leg linen trousers from a couple of years ago. Absolute bargain and they always get compliments.

NHS so hot weather uniform of white polo shirt and my own tailored knee length shorts.

ohyesido · 23/06/2026 16:22

I wore thin trousers and a booby blouse. Now I’m regretting it because I’m usually quite conservative and I’m getting second looks. Not humble bragging it’s making me self conscious

Statsquestion1 · 23/06/2026 16:24

It’s 25degrees here. I’m wearing jeans and a linen top. All petite

incognito1991 · 23/06/2026 16:25

I am going between maxi dress and wide leg cotton trousers from m&s with a simple top and kimono style cardigain

MindYourMannersDarling · 23/06/2026 16:26

No AC at my work. I am wearing a cotton tent of a dress and ballet flats. Cannot bring myself to wear sandals although some people are.

floofydoofy · 23/06/2026 16:30

Loose flowy cotton shirts/blouses and loose linen trousers. The same as usual but with no back up cardi!

mynameiscalypso · 23/06/2026 16:32

Today I’m wearing tailored cream wide leg trousers, a blank linen t-shirt and pointed flats. I was hot on the tube but fine other than that.

WeAintNoArgentina · 23/06/2026 16:35

Linen next shift dress. And tevas.

Runsaway · 23/06/2026 16:36

MiddleAgedDread · 23/06/2026 16:36

Is booby a brand or do you mean a top that flaunts your tits? 😂

faithfultoGeorgeMichael · 23/06/2026 16:38

pleats please dress

Jsonwbia · 23/06/2026 16:40

Lightweight blue chambray wide leg trousers, and a black cap sleeve t shirt, hair in a bun because less sweaty

madosaurus · 23/06/2026 16:47

No aircon here. Petite size 16. Very thin cotton, flowery, flowy, short dress. Nicer than it sounds (always get compliments) and the coolest item I own. Had it for years and years. Comes out about twice year. Will wash it tonight and will wear it tomorrow too.

Purplecatshopaholic · 23/06/2026 16:52

Linen dresses. Fake tan, lol. Sandals and a nice pedi. Senior, corporate role.

BatsInHibernation · 23/06/2026 17:17

In a large high school, no air con anywhere.
Cotton midaxi skirt with shirred waist and a linen top today.
Other days black linen trousers and loose cotton shirt.

Iheartmysmart · 23/06/2026 17:22

I work from home and am in a first floor flat so it’s bloody boiling. Today has been lightweight shorts, a vest top and my pink fluffy slippers. I did throw a smart top on briefly for a teams call this afternoon.

330ml · 23/06/2026 17:23

Cropped low rise leggings and a racer back tee.

purplecorkheart · 23/06/2026 17:27

Thankfully my office is cool when it was sunny so wore a lightweight black trousers and a very light multicolour top. Had to put on a light blazer yesterday as it was chilly in there. The rest of the building though is quite warm. Men seem to be in chinos and smart t-shirts. Woman are mainly in white trousers and blue linen tops.
