    Noticed people in full summer gear this weekend.

    Me thinks it too early yet - but when I see everyone else I wonder if I'm the fool ?

    I'm not in summer clothes yet.

    A few weeks ago when I was in Dublin I saw people walking around in shorts/skirts/summer clothes and a few of them going "jeez i can't stick this heat" - it wasn't even that warm, it was warmer than usual, but still not very warm.

    I'm still wearing my black winter coat, when I'm walking down the street in the town I live people look at me oddly lol.:o I'm probably mad to be wearing a winter coat in the sun, even though it's not too cold now.:o

    I'm looking for a summer coat, but can't find anything that I like.:(

    I've been wearing dresses, shorts etc around the house, but normal clothes out. Although, I was on a walk today and there was some 15ish year old who was in shorts and a bikini bra walking down the road! I ask ye!

    I'm still wearing my winter wool coat, often with a scarf. It's chilly in the mornings still.

    I think though that I'll switch to my Reiss mac soon - it's medium weight (so not too light), but it needs to go to the dryclearners first!

    3 quarter lenghts and anke socks :cool:

    No but wore my mac today and have winter coats put away. I'm wearing my lighter jumpers etc but it's too early for t-shirts and light tops for me. I need to buy some summer clothes. Layering is key in our climate I think as it's so unpredictable.

    I rolled my sleeves up, that's it.

    I tend to alter my make-up as soon as the season changes but wait a bit longer until I break out my summer dresses. I think it's too changeable at the moment, wouldn't want to be a stuck in town getting p*ssed upon wearing only cotton and pumps.

    I'm really surprised to see so many women wearing booty shorts and topless men walking about, seems a bit eager.

    I've been wearing summer clothes for months; that's what happens when the air conditioning in your stupidly hot office has been broken for 2 years :mad: I've mastered the art of layering!

    I have been wearing summer clothes then again I was throughout winter. I always wear skirts, dresses and shorts so it's great to have the weather finally. A guy at work said you know it's summer when the pretty summer dresses are out :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,678 ✭✭✭TrustedApple


    No because it still cold out for me still

    Also i was in river i today looking at shorts but why does it cost more to buy a pair of shorts then a jeans ?

    Eg River I male skinny Jeans 36 euro
    Eg River I male skinny shorts 48 euro

    12 euro more for less paints ????

    Bought a 'transitional' coat in Penneys - lightweight cotton navy 3/4 length and wearing that or my Superdry jacket on windier days. It's too warm for my wool coats. I've seen a lot of people in booty shorts, bare legs (as opposed to everyone else in cut offs and opaques - seriously, does everyone under the age of 21 wear the exact same outfit all the time?) and string vests/halters and some maxis as well but... actually I can't think of a description that wouldn't get me censured.

    It's too cold for me yet, that wind'd go through ya. Goosebumps are not a good look.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,244 ✭✭✭sdanseo


    I wear jeans, t-shirt and sometimes a hoodie all year round. [meerkat]Simples![/meerkat]


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,012 ✭✭✭Plazaman


    Ne're Cast A Clout, Till May Is Out (per my Granny, Don't wear shorts sleeves, trousers, light clothes until 1st of June onwards)

    I agree with that for lads, but girls, do not worry, work away (low cut tops and short shorts are compulsory. It's great to get Summer on a Sunday.

    The only part of my style that changes during the year are shoes, whether or not I wear socks and cardigan/jacket warmth.

    I tend to wear shorts and tights a lot, same with dresses and skirts, just thicker tights in Winter.

    You will not control my fashion weatherb1tch! >.<

    /might explain why I'm always so cold :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,104 ✭✭✭moonflower


    I don't really have summer clothes and winter clothes. In winter I just throw on a jacket/coat and swap tights for leggings.

    I put my two heavy coats away around the middle of February and all but my lightest of jackets went into the back of the cupboard around a month ago. I think it's mad that so many people are still wearing big heavy coats and scarves now, I've been going around in t-shirts for the last few weeks!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 813 ✭✭✭CaliforniaDream


    Yup! Skirt and flip flops today. Probably my summer staples for the next few months.

    Although, I do need to add that I live in Vegas. Weather hit the 30's here today so I'm not crazy. Pool time! :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 71 ✭✭siobhanosaur


    I've started buying myself some summer clothes but haven't really gotten the chance to wear them yet. The sunny days are lovely but they're still not really warm enough to wear something really summery no matter how much I want to :(


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 9,722 Mod ✭✭✭✭Twee.


    I've started trading for lighter pieces. I'm still in jeans, but now with Converse instead of ankle boots, and less leather jacket, more nay mac. And sunglasses are now a handbag staple - a pair of Rayban Wayfarer II and a pair of cat's eye ones from Urban Outfitters. I don't really ever do summer clothes :o I really feel the cold, and it's never crazy hot here. I just wear more jeans instead of tights, and less black!

    I've swapped my lovely orange winter coat to lighter macs (one in beige/one in emerald green). That and my tan leather jacket are handy transitional jackets. Other than that its all similar underneath because apart from 1/2 days, the weathers not been good enough for cute summer dresses and bare legs.

    Did buy a really great day dress in Forever 21 last week that im dying to wear but it really needs a summers day. Ive a feeling itll be in my wardrobe til my holiday in June!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 71 ✭✭BillabongMad


    Wore shorts yesterday = insta-freeze xD
    Usually I wear jeans and if I get too warm I'll change into shorts.
    This morning I'm wearing my warm hoodie and still cold :(

    If people can hack the cold then let them on wearing their shorts. I'll keep my snuggly hoodie ^^


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,159 ✭✭✭✭phasers


    My Summer clothes are just my Winter clothes minus the jumper :pac:

    I'm wearing dresses again, but I'm still wearing leggings and cardigans with them. I suppose I'm in my Spring transition. I saw someone in a reaaly light dress and sandals this morning, she looked so miserable!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,288 ✭✭✭pow wow


    Not yet, can't be bothered digging them out when the weather will probably turn back again in a few days and it'll be back to jeans and woolies!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,713 ✭✭✭✭Novella


    I rarely wear a coat, unless it's snowing or something. I guess I don't feel the cold that much. I've been wearing sandals on and off lately, on warmer days. My summer clothes are similar to winter, just with a bit more colour and less black.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,462 ✭✭✭Aisling(",)


    I don't actually seem to own any summer clothes.
    I'm terrible and shopping but I suppose I'll have to get something other than heavy hoodies and combats.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,126 ✭✭✭Aoifums


    I am :D I've had a few days over the last couple of weeks where I've sat in the park during my lunch. And sitting in full sunlight is impossible in jeans.
    I got my first sunburn on Friday. I didn't even realised how hot it was. I fried! :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 747 ✭✭✭skyscraperblue


    I've been dressing more summer-ish but not in my full on little floaty skirts and dresses and stuff yet. More jeans and pastel tops, and I tend to go for my leather jacket rather than my heavy coats. Can't wait for it to get warmer so I can wear skirts and dresses all the time - probably once May rolls around you won't get me out of them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,304 ✭✭✭coffeelover


    Started wearing Summer clothes today. Shorts and an 'I love Paris' tshirt. The weather was fabulous so I decided why not :D
