I'm an American coming to the UK for postgrad next month and it sort of just hit me that what we wore at my college for undergrad may not be so appropriate in the UK. As in, pajamas, sweatpants, sweatshirts, torn jeans, etc. were the norm.

Actually, at my school it was not unusual to see someone going to class in a bathrobe or slippers.

What sort of things do UK students wear? I'd hate to be the girl who everyone looks at and immediately can tell I'm American. I've heard people don't wear sweatshirts over there at all, is that true? That's what an Irish policeman told me, at least...

Believe it or not, even here in the uk, we do wear clothes.

We're not alians, just wear what you usually wear, jeans, shirts, whatever.

clothes usually

[superman19]

I wear blue body paint and bang on tubes and bins

[Saraaaa!]

hahaha don't go anywhere in your bathrobe and slippers.

Jeans and tshirts.

Dresses and skirts.

Vests etc.

Everyone has different fashion senses.

[jermaindefoe]

swimsuits

Believe it or not, we Brits over here aren't as fussed over what we wear as you guys do over there from what I've heard.
So all in all, wear what you want. It'll make you stand out at least (in a good way).

Well we don't call sweaters, sweaters. We call them jumpers and yes, we certainly do wear them. It gets very cold here in winter. Ohh and bring somehing waterproof. An umbrella or raincoat should be fine.

Nothing wrong with the bathrobe, i attened most my lectures wearing a towel round my waist

Pretty much the same as what you said in the first post. Just whatever you feel comfortable in! And yes people wear sweatshirts and yes people wear pyjamas!

Edit: Maybe not pyjamas for postgrad :|

[xMiss_Sarahx]

People wear sweatshirts...if by that you mean like the big cosy hoodie type tops like you can get from Pink @ victoria secret (oh how i want to go back to the USA and buy their whole range of lounge clothes!!)

[ChicaBonita]

Damn, I was gonna go for the whole, "clothes?" thing, but people beat me to it

It always shocks me when I hear of Americans that have been to school or wherever in their pyjamas (or pj's if you so wish). I mean, how rude?
I at least put some underwear on before I leave the house

Seriously, I think you can stereotype all you want, but people wear a variety of things, like most places. Some people wear sweatshirts, some don't. People will probs spot you're an American from a mile away even if you dressed up like an indie-person and didn't speak

In which case you're probably gay....or just very needy.

I'm always amused at the American students at my Uni wearing sandals/flip-flops all-year round. Even during the winter!

I was planning to go to one of my lectures as a Tanzanian tribe man. Just worried that my penis will be visible.

And I doubt I'll be able to lift it. Doctor told me not to lift heavy things.

Yes, we do, sweaters and jumpers are completely different things, a sweater is like a hoody/fleecy top that's very casual and a jumper is more like a cardigan, except that it isn't open at the front.
