I think they are calling them co ords currently, my mum always liked to wear a skirt suit in coordinated colours.

Nan wore something called a duster coat in Spring/Summer in a pastel colour.

Linen chino's & sunglasses curtesy of my father & pretty dresses & high-heeled shoes adorning my pretty mother.

My mum was always very fashionable, I can remember mini skirts and dresses, even hot pants under little mini dresses. She then moved onto trousers and jeans, always smart and with it Even when she was terminally ill she had her hair coloured and cut the week before she went into the hospice.

My dad was always in trousers and shirts, not always with a tie, when he retired it was chinos or jeans and polo shirts.

Fallingstar
Bunnet is a flat cap ( Scottish)

I think a 'bunnet' is a beret (like a cap) Fallingstar my dad used to put his on too when he went off on his bicycle for work, he also put bicycle clips around his ankles to keep his trousers out of the way.
Dad wore Brillcream on his hair too, it was what a lot of men put on their hair in the day, horrible stuff. Mam used to play war with him for it rubbing off on the pillowcases

My mum used to like wearing suits. She had a tweed one for the winter and and lighter blue moygashel one for the summer. She would either wear a blouse or twin set under the jacket.

Ooh Moygashel brings back memories, a type of faux linen if I remember correctly. Good for trousers as it didn’t crease.

My mother’s black suede winter ankle bootees with a zip up the front. All the mothers seemed to wear them.

My mother had a lovely Hungarian embroidered blouse, and I had a junior version. I still like them to this day and often see them for sale.

Not really a fashion item ,
my lovely Gran after a perm would wear hairnet.
Brownish during the day , pink or blue to bed!
And always a half apron in the morning.

My Grandpa wore his bunnet on leaving the house .

My mum wore a housecoat over underware.
Then get dressed at midday after all housework was done or nails painted.

My father wore a clean nylon non iron (not true) shirt in every pastel colour you can think of and always a tie.

What is a bunnet?

Cardigans. My mum would knit cardigans for all of us and anyone else who needed one. I never saw her without a cardi, summer included, though of course cardis were needed in summer back then.

Corsets. My grandmother used to take hers off and scratch. I felt the same about my liberty bodice,

Pillbox hats with a veil.

Mum had two: black for funerals, obviously, and white for more frivolous occasions.

Mum often wore a scarf turban style. I think it must have been the fashion.

Hair curlers and headscarves.

I always remember the scent of Max Factor make up that my mother always wore.

When my mum came in from outside in the winter, she would take her coat off but leave her hat on. It used to drive me mad. I look at myself now and realise I come in and leave my hat on. Not stylus ones like hers but woolly ones, even if it’s not cold indoors

I had an aunt who always kept her hat, and a small silk scarf on even when sitting at the table eating. She also sat in the middle of a two seater sofa, long after she died of anyone sitting in the middle they were Doing an Auntie Lily.

My dad always wore a Trilby when I was growing up, and braces. He also wore those armband things (to keep his sleeves up) and a tie. He was always smart (years of being in the army , 1936 to 1945). Mum used to wear a nylon overall over her clothes during the day, in order to keep her clothes underneath clean.
