ROom 101 for shite, lingering fashion trends

[PaulHollywoodsleftbollockhair]

Had enough of seeing something repeated ad nauseam?

Want to offload when having tried to find good quality, stylish clothes you are instead met with a sea of shit? Epically garish, cheaply manufactured (without the corresponding price tag) and downright tired apply here.

I may be alone in having this need, but may I start by offering..... the rainbow jumper. How to take a perfectly useable piece of cloth and curse it to landfill in nanoseconds.....

[PaulHollywoodsleftbollockhair]

I also nominate the slogan knit.....

Rock n Roll? Who do you think you are kidding?

[PaulHollywoodsleftbollockhair]

The wodgey slip on trainer. Looks good on no one and stumps every outfit out to buggery. Also HOW many years has this one been peddled for?

[Bestseller]

The cold shoulder top, the ones with the slit that people seem to think are suitable for work

[Boyskeepswinging]

Otherwise perfectly lovely tops ruined by cold shoulders. I keep hoping this trend is over only to be sadly disappointed.

[TroysMammy]

These are things that end up on the end of season sale rail. Shite when full price, shite when reduced.

[PaulHollywoodsleftbollockhair]

Also stars (makes a jumper look like Primark nightwear), lightning flashes (yawn) and disjointed leopard offerings chucked on an item in wild abandon in the jaunty manner of a PEr Una designer.

Just. Say. No.

[Boyskeepswinging]

Ha ha cross post! Yes, aren't they vile?

[MoltonSilver]

Women's pyjamas with cartoon characters and ridiculous slogons. I do not want to dress like a child going to bed. They don't do this with mens sleep wear.

[Quantumblue]

Bell sleeves (is that what they are called?) looked dated and annoying from day 1.

[SinglePringle]

Anything with unicorns, mermaids, stars or rainbows.

Perfect tops and dresses - suitable for work and everything! - until you turn them around to discover they’ve a slash in the back. Right where your bra strap will show.

[SleepingInYourFlowerbed]

Crop tops! So many crop tops! 'oo, this looks nice, let's have a closer look... Oh no, it's only half a top'

[SleepingInYourFlowerbed]

Agree about stars and lightning bolts too

[BinRaidingRaccoon]

Shirts with a weird frill just above your tits. Why? Also as above tops with missing backs.

[PaulHollywoodsleftbollockhair]

Also in the spirit of the valuable lessons learned from a childhood immersed in Grange Hill, Mr Baxter was and will never be where it is at....

Feck off with those striped pants.

[PaulHollywoodsleftbollockhair]

Ooh most excellent suggestions. Every.single.one.

Get to feck.

[championquartz]

Leggings.

This season - leopard print. I like a bit but wow there really is overkill this season.

Agree with bell sleeves. Not suitable for any activity of daily living. Eating, washing, dressing (caught in zips), cleaning, they're v draughty. Maybe ok for watching telly.

[PaulHollywoodsleftbollockhair]

My eyes.....

[championquartz]

Those leopard things ^^ above are fairly horrific.

[LoniceraJaponica]

Boots with toes cut out
Jumpers/tops with frills and other embelishments
Three quarter length sleeves. If I'm warm I want short sleeves. If I'm cold I want long sleeves
Those shapeless linen "dresses" that look like rags and flatter no-one.

Agree with cold shoulder tops and bell sleeves
Slogans and babyish images on adult T-shirts

[championquartz]

Yy to unicorns and mermaids. Jeez.
Mind you, I think the stars are not bad. (Maybe I don't belong here!)
Lightening bolts can feck off.

I also hate those big, shapeless, voluminous midi-maxi floral-curtain dresses that even poor old smoke and mirrors Instagram can't make look good (apols that sentence).

I, of course, am an immaculate dresser of impeccable taste

[myusernamewastakenbyme]

Jumpers with chokers attached to them....bloody awful !!!!

[PaulHollywoodsleftbollockhair]

I hate these square heel Queen mother shoes. They look especially evil with the square toe ‘update’.

Bleurgh.

[LoniceraJaponica]

Love the "Queen Mother" description
It is very apt.

[PaulHollywoodsleftbollockhair]

Sausage dog embellished tit top anyone?

That’ll be a no....

[PaulHollywoodsleftbollockhair]

Also for those in the glow years I nominate polyester blouses in a ‘fun’ print, the only purpose of which is to distract the eye from the ring of inevitable armpit sweat hefting into view.
