Favourite Clothes for gardening

[lainey lou]

I just wear whatever I'm wearing! Jeans and a T-shirt or shirt usually!

i love this thread cuz i'm not the only one who always wears the same thing! i have a pair of combats that i wear for the pockets and always wear strappy vest top, in the winter i wear a fleece jacket with it and crocs, i dunno why but it's my perfect gardening outfit, my fella calls them my geeky gardening clothes, oh and when it's really cold i have a hat which has the lawn ranger written on it!

At the moment I am stealing the odd hour here and there when I should be helping finish off the self build - but the lottie won't do itself will it, so I tend to wear my old black jeans which are covered in various colours of paint, wood filler, decorators caulk and sawdust (very attractive and just a little bit Jackson Pollock if I say so myself), a black tee shirt, walking boots and my brown suede Aussie cowboy hat.

Oh, and my Grapevine secret Santa gave me a brilliant tool belt, so I wear that too!

Oh I forgot my hat, OH would most likely like me to forget the hat as well.

It's a sort of bush hat, you know the sides can clip up but I wear it witht he sides down. It was a khaki colour but it's been soak by rain and bleached by the sun and a little on the floppy side now.

Keep saying I'll buy a new one but you know, it just wouldn't be the same.

PJ's....

.....I do most of my gardening first thing, so I'm usually in my jamas & dressing gown. Other than that my usual garb for anything is jeans, T and sweatshirt or hoodie. I love all the Joules sweatshirts, t's and hoodies.

Didn't someone write a book entitled 'Gardening in My Nightie'?

[bobleponge]

T shirt, 3/4 length trousers and flip flops, and I wear the same thing in the summer.
Although that is my wear for just about everything else too.

[Alison Adams]

Me too for the combats with either walking boots or ankle wellies and I just got this t-shirt for my birthday, so I will wear this for 'best' gardening !

I think you and I would get along famously!

You do realise, that if we were Australian we'd be wearing our thongs to the allotment.

From about April to about September, it's Cotton Traders shorts, last year were on promo so bought 4 pairs, T shirts (M&S special offer and have 8, all black) work boots and thick walking socks, turned down. Sometimes a scarf round my neck if it's really hot, with a wide brimmed straw hat - have two, one for best, one (with more 'character') for garden. Occassionally very old boating shoes and no socks if I'm just pottering.

Winter it's similar footwear, combats, polo shirts and T shirt and if necessary, one of my old B&Q body warmers or giglets.
