What do you now accept you can't wear?

[40notfabulous]

For me scarves esp. big scarves...I run warm.

[Maireas]

Any shoes not flat or comfy. My poor feet have had enough

[ImEatingVeryHealthilyOhYes]

Black next to my face. Or lilac. I mean I could, but I’d look very unhealthy. Wish I’d figured that out years ago

[GrimDamnFanjo]

Polo necks.

[TheQueef]

Vests.
Over the knee boots.
Heels.
Flats.
Small pants.

[bananamonkey]

Skirts. I have 2 I’m persevering with but in general they look so weird on me and I find them difficult to style.

[Deathraystare]

Lots of things!
Anything above the knee
Anything cropped (big tum)
Anything viscose (makes me sweaty) - which is the material of choice in most shops!
Anything with a high neck
Mustn't wear jumpsuits - would never make it to the loo on time!!

[Maireas]

I've given up on skirts and dresses. They never look right on me. Trousers all the way.

[Maireas]

Anything polyester. Sweaty.

[Nowisthemonthofmaying]

Denim jackets. Wish I could but they make me look really tacky and I don't know why.

[ChaToilLeam]

High heeled shoes. They are not for me any more. Too many turned ankles over the years.

[BigusBumus]

Anything that you would have to tuck in and have your belt area showing. Like a shirt tucked into jeans with a nice belt. I'd love to, but I'm too tubby round the middle and have to wear things of "tunic" length ffs.

Plus any top with pocket flaps on the boobs. They stick out at right angles over by large chest and remind me of those aeroplane wing flaps that move up and down when you're coming into land.

[Thesheerrelief]

Scarves- have lots of hair and also pointy jaw
Polo necks - see above. I just look odd
Pleated skirts - I love how they look on other people. On me they look like farmer's wife circa 1940 style and not in a good way
High necked tops - I have too much bosom
Paper bag waists - the big bosom and mum tum means there's about 2cm between my boobs and waist when I wear this style

[ShaunaTheSheep]

Polyester - too sweaty
Anything flimsy
Hats- just don't suit me
Contact lenses - too faffy
Heels
Slip on shoes
Anything more than a touch of natural make up - look like a bad drag artiste

[Hellohah]

White, I look shocking in anything white.

[Thisbastardcomputer]

High heels but I'm glad I lived in them until rheumatoid arthritis struck.

[anniversarywoes]

Bikinis!!
I'm slim but after 2 children and a hysterectomy....
And yes, I know we all shouldn't give a damn etc but I feel much better about myself not wearing one, so that's clearly the better choice!!

[SpaceOP]

Polo necks or any high necked top. Not only does it over emphasise the bust area, but even if I wanted to do that for some reason, within about 5 minutes I'm sweating, red-faced and generally look a mess as i just get too hot. It's awful.

Also any kind of basic round toe ballet slipper type shoe or slip on. I have a bunion and they are always unbearably uncomfortable. Have eyed up the more brogue-style from places like Russel and Bromley for years but have never had the hundreds of pounds to actually buy any. Cheap knock off versions always have the same problem as the more standard style (I assume it's a cost thing - there's more leather and more work in a shoe that doesn't end at the toe line?). Even M&S wide fit, which I do have a few shoes from there, fit weirdly and uncomfortably in that style.

[Takethewinefromtheswine]

Flat ballet shoe things. I have feet like a hobbit. Cropped trousers as have massive ankles.

[LongPauseNoAnswer]

Tea dresses. I look like I’m smuggling a collie no matter what size I wear. It’s a source of pain, I love them.

[Dmtush]

Jeans. My arse looks like a blimp.

[LunaNorth]

Heels. Just fucking agony and I seriously don’t know how anyone does it.

[SquirrelFan]

Heels
Bare legs (veinier than a Shropshire Blue)

[GoudaGirl]

Being short and of advancing years and and advancing midriff to boot:
Cropped trousers
Anything floaty or voluminous- look like a poison dwarf (sorry dwarfs)
High heels except for just sitting- I generally get downstairs in them , and take them off and replace with a pair of Sketchers..
Tiny knickers (ouch) - Sloggi types are the Sketchers of undies..aaah!
Very high polo necks- make me look like Mrs Potato Head
Of all these the high heels thing is the one I mourn. So many nice dainty shoes out there..

[remaininshroud]

Mini skirts. Even though I have great legs.

[SpaceOP]

I was watching Emily in Paris and in one scene, she's tripping across paris clearly bare legged, which are WHITE AS WHITE can be. And all I could think was, "I'm extremely pale but if I go out with bare legs in that sort of situation my legs do NOT look like that!"
