Just been reading a thread about "Does Appearance Matter?" and wondered what Gransnetters are wearing in lock-down? (This is meant as a lighthearted thread........hopefully it stays that way!!)

Bon Marche classic black pants B M lilac long sleeve cotton top ,pale turquoise berketex cardigan (at least 15 years old ) and a pair of my husbands black socks to keep me warm.

I’m in my exercise gear, having just done an hour of Fabulous, ahem, 50s work out videos. Black leggings, Leeds 10k tee shirt, Zumba shoes, MiFit. I now need to rest for ages a while before I jump in the shower and change into another pair of black leggings, with a warm jumper this time. It’s the land that style forgot here.

Is that 1950s workouts or for the 50 somethings, Maggiemaybe?
I felt tired just reading about it.

I've just stripped off the cardigan, cutting out face masks is warm work. The socks will remain.

Green shortsleeved silk twinset, cream trousers. Navy slippers.

Slob day today as chilly and rain.

timetogo2016 Fri 12-Jun-20 14:50:21

Black trousers an orange tor and a blue hoody.
Comfort all the way for me.

Callistemon Fri 12-Jun-20 14:52:19

I'm covered in threads too from the sewing.

Maggiemaybe Fri 12-Jun-20 19:32:10

Exercises for 50 somethings, Callistemon. I’m kidding myself of course. grin

DH did comment today, very ungallantly I thought, that the instructor, Schellea, manages to get her leg up quite a lot higher than I do mine. She is a mere stripling, probably nearer to our daughters’ age than to mine.

Callistemon Fri 12-Jun-20 19:38:57

Oh, thank goodness! I'm far too old.

Dressing gown

etheltbags1 Fri 12-Jun-20 19:56:21

Why do some posters feel it necessary to name the brand of clothing they are wearing. I've mentioned this before, it annoys Mr. I hate bragging. We can describe our clothing without naming names.

Dollymc2 Fri 12-Jun-20 20:02:20

Today, I had on a pair of black and white checked wide leg trousers, white top and grey cardigan. Make up, earrings and perfume
Now I've got my pj's and dressing gown and central heating on, it's been so cold here today

Maggiemaybe Fri 12-Jun-20 20:04:51

It wouldn’t be bragging if I did it. grin My leggings are from George at Asda, if it’s of interest.

Maggiemaybe Fri 12-Jun-20 20:05:33

Sorry, that was to ethel.

DanniRae Sat 13-Jun-20 15:04:38

I am wearing a tunic from Asda and leggings from ??? Also an apron because I have no bra on - they seem to have shrunk in the wash - and we are expecting a visit from my lovely son and equally lovely daughter-in-law and it covers up my frontal (droopy) area smile

Puzzler61 Sat 13-Jun-20 16:55:00

It’s not to be annoying ethelbags, or to brag. Some of us just are interested to know -although that may sound a bit weird. Adds to the description too.

Puzzler61 Sat 13-Jun-20 16:58:31

Today, Saturday, not long back from a walk and it was warm
- so dark denim jeans, t-shirt that DH asked “ is that your nightshirt”? I don’t know what he means, it’s an old t-shirt that I’m fond of. White with a multi colour ditsy print. I’m surprised he remembers what nighties I have if I’m honest!
And on my feet some fit flop wanna be’s (Next), last year’s.

Callistemon Sat 13-Jun-20 17:50:14

Black and white slim cotton with lycra trousers, very comfy.
Marks and Spencer many years ago

Callistemon Sat 13-Jun-20 17:50:47

That was for ethel! wink

Riverwalk Sat 13-Jun-20 18:45:24

Gap chinos and a nameless top from a French street market.

It's not bragging to name brands - for those with a passing interest in clothes it's handy to know and pick up tips and ideas.

kissngate Sat 13-Jun-20 19:08:50

Jeans - Matalan
T shirt & cardi - M&S
Trainers - Skechers

Maggiemaybe Sat 13-Jun-20 19:33:38

Comfy jeans, Topshop, inherited from DD2 because the left leg seam keeps twisting round.

A sage green H & M jumper with back zip.

Black socks from Tesco (?).

Mother’s Day gold and green hoop earrings, Oliver Bonas, because we’ve been out.

Callistemon Sat 13-Jun-20 21:44:31

The first one has Rioja wine spilt on it. blush.
