Spring Glaswegian Fashion

About a month ago, we had some gorgeous weather here in Glasgow -- sunny skies, warm temperatures,  all you could want for a precursor of summer.  Of course, as a maintenance guy in the park warned me that might be all the good weather for the whole summer.  Complaining about the weather is a common point between Scots and Mainers, maybe it's living in the northern climes, but I always wonder what people in southern parts talk about in casual conversations.  When I first lived in San Francisco, I would try to talk about the weather but quickly realized no-one was interested because there was nothing to discuss, and this was northern California where there is slight variety in the weather.

Anyway, the nice days here allowed me to check out the warm weather fashions, which included lots of dresses, cropped leggings and flats.





Despite the higher temperatures, people held onto their scarves, though no wooly ones, just fashion ones.




Tight jeans still ubiquitous



Some people kept the boots going, but traded out their heavy coats for blazers



Some people didn't leave enough to the imagination



So, warm weather fashions:
scarves
blazers or long sweaters
flats or Chuck Taylor trainers (sneakers, both low and high-tops)
belted dresses
cropped leggings
skinny jeans


Of course, the weather has turned again, so we're back to coats and sweaters, but one thing I found is the weather is completely unpredictable here (checking the weather forecast is basically useless).  I'll keep you posted if any new trends emerge.
