What goes on first?

What do you put on first after your shower (after the Chanel No 5, I mean)? Men DH puts his socks on - I have always imagined that is a male "flight or fight" reaction, whereas for me it's the pants. Could that be a similar motive? hmm Anyway, what goes on first?

Nellie Pedant alert!
Camis aren't the same as vests. Camis have thin spaghetti straps, whereas a vest is at least an inch wide where it sits on the shoulder smile

Thank heavens Granny23 I am not alone! Although I do rather like the idea of Gnetters hopping around their bedrooms in solidarity with my sock habit grin

Allright then! An M&S a camisole not a vest. Same thing really though.
A "camisole" is just trying to be posh and trendy. wink grin

Pants, bra, camisole, socks.

Pants, bra & vest this weather, and usually socks after trousers. I think my logic is to cover up the warmest bits of your body first to keep as warm as possible.

I think with me its also to cover up the rudest bits first. blush

Socks before trousers for me. Why? because most of my trousers are too tight over my fat calves to be able to pull them up to pull sox on.

When I asked Son-out-law why he never wore socks he told me 'no sox before marriage', which is why we will present him with a pair of socks when he becomes our Son-*in*-law in July grin

It's not a good look!

Ana Fri 24-May-13 23:23:32

I will too!

I am going to try socks first tomorrow to see what I am missing. wink

annodomini Fri 24-May-13 23:16:12

Tomorrow I think we should all put our socks on first in solidarity with vegas. smile

Vegas- You cannot surely be alone with your specific problem?

glassortwo Fri 24-May-13 22:57:07

vegas if you need a buddy just shout wink

mollie Fri 24-May-13 22:56:32

I'm a knickers, trousers, bra, top, sox sort of girl too. My OH puts his watch on first ... No idea why, seems odd to me but each to their own!

Glass I am now looking out for a Socks Anonymous group grin

annodomini Fri 24-May-13 22:54:14

pants, bra, trousers, top, socks. Sorry, vegas. grin

Charleygirl Fri 24-May-13 22:52:35

Knickers, trousers, bra, top, cardigan, socks last. Bra is 3rd while my deodorant is drying.

glassortwo Fri 24-May-13 22:45:30

vegas you have taken the first step by admitting your problem grin grin

vegasmags Fri 24-May-13 22:38:57

Glass - how could I bring that up? I need to talk to someone because I have just found out I have a sock problem? grin

HappyNanna Fri 24-May-13 22:37:07

Knickers, jeans/trousers, bra then top. Socks last (if I'm wearing any)

glassortwo Fri 24-May-13 22:36:53

vegas I think you need to look into therapy grin grin

Ana Fri 24-May-13 22:33:13

Pants and bra - if it's cold, vest first - if not, socks!

vegasmags Fri 24-May-13 22:33:06

Oh God, am I going to be the only woman who puts her socks on first? Should I start to worry about this? grin

absent Fri 24-May-13 22:32:34

Body butter, then knickers, bra, jeans and top. I hate socks and rarely wear them unless it is bitterly cold.

Bez Fri 24-May-13 22:30:32

Pants then bra normally but when really cold and I have my dressing gown on I do pants then socks and trousers, whip off dressing gown and put on bra and other garments. On cold days I also make sure all clothing is sorted before I start! grin

tanith Fri 24-May-13 22:30:04

Bra, pants, jeans, sweater then socks , guess we are all different..grin I think its socks last as they are the most problematic for me.. my hips/knees just won't bend where I want them to anymore.
