does your LO wear jeans to the park, softplay etc?

[catty]

He is so cute!!! No I wouldnt think he was a chav hes too innocent haha.

I think some people are taking the whole chav comments to heart really. I don't see why it's matters what somebody else thinks. My opinion that joggers make a person look chavvy is just that, mine. Same way plenty people think that I put too much effort into dressing my children (all matching, nice hair etc). I could never just "throw something" on them. Their opinion doesn't bother me as I make a choice and stand by it. I don't judge a person for it, my hubby lives in joggers (sadly).

Live and let live and all that.

Oh my goodness, I just had a free moment to look up how to do dreads. That makes my scalp itch just reading it. Maybe I'll do it when I'm a grandma and have more time to focus on keeping my hair bee's waxed.

Dreads are obviously easier when you have frizzy curly hair. Fun to play with too if you are a toddler

Yeah, I definitely thought those were a bunch of tiny braids for almost 28 years of my life.

My LO wears jogging bottoms to soft plays, looks too uncomfortable to be doing all that climbing about in jeans!

Generally I like to dress him in matching clothes and smart shoes and like to buy his clothes from Next ect. but when we're just at a softplay when he's active I don't really see the point.

I wouldn't put him in joggers for the park though as any wet or damp could get through easily and they're not at all warm in winter.

Also, he has a few pairs of 'jogger-like jeans' which are soft but still look like denim jeans

There are worse things to confuse.

Thought of this thread today when I came across sweatpant shorts, never knew such a thing existed!

We are pretty casual in New Zealand.

When my grandma was 14 and still living in Scotland, two female teenagers from NZ were over there doing the tourist thing. They made it into the newspaper for being seen in public with no shoes on (1960).

When grandma was told they were moving to New Zealand 2 years later she was horrified at having to move somewhere so obviously scruffy and casual. I've still never seen her shoeless!

She doesn't seem to mind seeing my kids in casual clothes, but it was a culture shock moving here.

On a side note, are you still a chav for wearing sportswear to actually do sports?! I haven't met anyone at crossfit in heels and a dress yet...

I also never owned a pair of jeans until I was 28 but managed to avoid adidas pants and nike shoes.

 

[misspriss]

I'm just wondering, are these the type of pants that are chavvy? These are the kind DS lives in, not the elastic at the bottom ones. Are these "joggers"? Bit confused! Here, this is completely standard toddler wear, I don't think anyone in my are would think of them as too casual or anything.

 

[MummyMana]

I really don't think anyone has to worry about looking chavvy I've been wearing joggers all week and is hasn't made me want to stab someone or rob a sainsburys haha xD

 

[minties]

I wear lots of form fitting black pants meant to be worn when exercising (like a quick dry fabric, smooth, not cotton...yoga pants in the USA?) and don't feel "chavvy".

 

[Scout]

I have some of those shorts and so does lo. I see people in them all the time during summer. They're really comfy.

 

[MummyMana]

While we're on this subject and comparing the differences from.country to country, I was wondering if anyone could tell me...


...are yoga pants the same thing as leggings? Haha! I've been wondering for a while

 

[minties]

To me in NZ, leggings are stretch cotton and thin. Yoga pants are a man made smooth slightly thicker fabric with a bit more structure in the waist band. But then, we don't say yoga pants where I live. Often called drycon or skins.

 

[misspriss]

To me, leggings are tight all the way to the ankle, they can be thin or thick. Yoga pants are a more standard medium weight, are usually close fitting in the hips, fitted in the thigh, and fall more loosely around the ankle. They can also be looser, where leggings are always tight.

LMBO, I was eating soup and this made me snort chicken broth out my nose. These people sound great.
Does anyone know-- is sainsburys a walmart, a sheetz, or an asda? I keep seeing it referred to on these boards to find things and it seems like they must sell literally everything.
