COUNTRYFILE viewers were left distracted and asking the same question about one presenter's 'dressed down' outfit choice in the latest episode.
The BBC agricultural show gives fans an insight into the larger issues affecting British wildlife and farming - but it was the weather report that captured the most attention.
Presenters Hamza Yassin and Sammi Kinghorn presented a bee-themed special on Sunday’s instalment of Countryfile.
However, during the weather segment towards the end of the show, many viewers were left seriously distracted by Darren Bett's relaxed outfit choice.
Weather presenters on the beloved BBC show Countryfile - which began in 1988 - often find their outfits scrutinised by fan on social media.

Last year, viewers were divided by Sarah Keith-Lucas' "let down" dress, with many pointing out she'd unwittingly camoflauged herself against the map.
And now, as Darren appeared on screen last night, people took to X (Twitter) and shared their thoughts about his unusually ‘casual’ attire.
“Why do weather presenters dress down for Countryfile?” one fan quizzed.
A second echoed: "Not going to win best dressed in that lol."
While a third remarked on him wearing two different outfits in one episode, quipping: “Quick change there, well done.”
However others were more positive about the look, with one remarking: “Well done Darren - correct attire.”
Another chimed in: “Subtle check from Darren, well-played sir.”
While a third gushed: “Well done, perfect check casual.”
Elsewhere on Countryfile, presenter Joe Crowley grilled Mark Spencer, the Minister of State for Food, Farming, and Fisheries in the UK.
It came after the government allowed the sugar industry to use a banned pesticide despite the widespread concern that the chemical could be deadly for bees.

During the episode, Joe discussed the matter with a farmer named Alice, who harvests sugar beet and has faced tough times due to the Virus Yellows disease over the years
The farmer explained that the Virus Yellows disease attacks the sugar beet, resulting in a significant profit loss.
However, to combat this, a treatment is added to the seed to help protect against the disease.
Unfortunately, this treatment option contains a neonicotinoid pesticide, which is toxic to bees and other insects.
Despite its use being banned in the UK in 2018, British Sugar and NFU Sugar apply each year for emergency use of the banned pesticide.
Once a threat level for the disease has been met—which usually happens—the application is always granted.
During a video call on the show Joe asked: “Tell me why have you overruled the Government's expert advisors and decided to allow sugar beet farmers to use a banned pesticide?”
The MP responded: “We’ve taken advice from a number of people, we’ve come to a balanced view, which is, on this occasion, it is right to allow the use of this pesticide as a one-off season.”
However, the Countryfile host wasn’t convinced as he highlighted that it wasn’t a one-off, as this was the fourth year in a row the decision has been made.
Mark replied: “Yes, those decisions are taken independently on an annual basis, we’ve increased criteria, making it more difficult.
“But, we still come to a conclusion this year, it is worthy of dispensation.”
Before they parted ways, Joe asked the MP if he accepted that this decision would cause some environmental harm.
Mark told the BBC star that nothing is ever 100% safe.
Last week on Countryfile, presenters Anita Rani and Matt Baker received backlash from viewers after they set off on a ‘dangerous’ and daunting drive through the Lake District.
As the pair visited Wrynose and Hardknott Passes, viewers drew comparisons to Top Gear.
During the episode, Matt and Anita checked out reviews from other tourists and discussed how dangerous the roads can be when driving on them.
Countryfile is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
