Winter Glaswegian Fashion



Okay, so you know you want to dress like the Scots! Since we live near the university we see many young fashionistas. Here are some general rules: dark colors, no sneakers, dress up.

The Main Uniform

Young gals: black or patterned tights, shorts or short black skirt, scarf, boots (any length -- knee, calf, ankle), sweaters or Ts

Older gals: same as above, just longer skirts and no shorts, please

Gents: fitted jeans, dress shoes (often with pointy toes), collared shirt









Boots all the time, with everything -- skirts, tight pants, jeggings, skinny jeans, etc.












The short black skirt, tights and boots -- seen everywhere here and in the US.







A new one for me: shorts and tights -- very popular! Although sometimes you can see the parts of the tights not meant to be seen, which detracts from the look A LOT.







Ugg boots, still?!?






















Men do wear kilts!























And here's a universal fashion don't



Overall, we find the big city Scots to be very stylish, but sensibly dressed. Since you almost always get all weather possibilities in one day -- rain, sun, clouds -- you can see why boots and scarves are popular. As spring continues, I'll give you an update on the warmer weather fashions when they emerge.
