For me, cargo/hiking style trousers, with multiple pockets.

What colour are you legs, then?
If that's not too personal a question? smile

Can I ask where you get yours from? The ones I’ve looked at online all seem to be quite tight fitting and my hiking trousers are quite loose.

Apart from having too many clothes 🙄 I hate anything tight, itchy, scratchy labels (M&S are the worse), anything around my neck and frills (rather like you flappergirl)
I don’t like pastel colours and have stopped wearing black so much, I prefer deeper colours.

That's interesting. Have you always been like this. I have, since I was a young child. My mother used to despair because she liked to dress me up. Most jumpers were wool then too. Clothes shopping takes me ages and I often come home empty handed.

I’ve even got clothes that don’t appear even mol itch that I can’t wear. And, it make me itch just thinking about it. Getting worse as I’m getting older. I’m thinking about taking an anti histamine every day.

downtoearth, I share your affection for navy and white stripes. Maybe I've overdone it a little because a recent encounter with someone I haven't seen in a while produced, from her, mock shock and " I didn't recognise you - no stripes "
Note to self - widen your sartorial horizons.

Jeans - well actually boot cut jeggings. I have several pairs and wear them all the time. Yesterday I want to a funeral wearing black ones. They are so comfortable.

I love colour! Every shade of blue and green especially. Check shirts with jeans in Winter. Linen shift dresses, denim skirts with linen shirts in summer.

Beige, brown, pinks and purples are out.

Dresses only! I’ve got smart ones, but mostly casual or smart/casual. I’ve just realised (why has it taken so long?!) that I have sensory issues and hate anything tight round the middle (hence I don’t feel comfortable in trousers or skirts since putting on weight). I wish I could wear skinny jeans. Even women of my age (nearly 70) can look lovely in skinny jeans - I’d look and feel horrendous. I have trouble wearing anything woolly/scratchy too, although usually labels don’t irritate me.

Always drawn to stripes , I also like navy blue . Wool is a big nono for me the slightest bit makes me itch ! I also love my neck warmers ( from Patra) mace mainly from bamboo, they are not too baggy and very cozy! I have quite a few !!! I am always in trousers , might wear a long skirt - very long so I can go without tights - hate them!!

Big, mohair-type Winter cardigans and plenty of them.
