What did you wear as a kid? Tell me about a favourite outfit, an embarrassing one, or hand-me-downs you got stuck with.

B Natural answer

At school, I usually had plain sneakers and simple jeans. One outfit I remember well was a blue hoodie because I thought it would make me look cool. I also got stuck wearing my older brother's jacket when it was cold, and it was so large that my hands disappeared in the sleeves.
