I was just browsing M&S for workwear inspiration when I saw these model poses...what happened to just standing or sitting so that people could see what the clothes look like? 🤣

Lunges??! Yoga? Can't quite reach my foot??

This unexpectedly gave me the rage!

Really had to reply to this as I was thinking exactly the same a couple of days ago while looking at the M@S website. I was actually looking for clothes for my 96 year old Auntie and couldn’t find a single thing, what happened to all the classic stuff they used to sell . Anyway back to your comment, it actually put me off buying anything , it all looked weird and not even fitting properly . I was thinking it was down to my age 60 but I don’t class myself as someone who wears older persons clothes, River Island is my favourite place to shop . I have noticed though that a lot of shops have these models who look like they just don’t want to be there …..Zara for instance …..maybe it’s the new look, I don’t like it though , doesn’t make me want to buy the clothes……oh and edited to say , is the one wearing the coat doing a ‘silly walk’ ……pretty sure there was a comedy on the TV where a comedian used to do the exact same walk…..showing my age now

To be fair the top left does say “with stretch” 🤣

Hahaha that's tickled me 😆

I take it as a sign that the clothes probably look dreadful even on a stunning model so the ridiculous pose redirects your attention.

How on earth can you see what a garment looks like when the model is scrunched up, or arms over their face or whatever. I want to see a proper picture of the dress/ jumper/ trousers please.

Sone of them are also really annoying if you actually want to see the clothes, lol.

Top left made me actually snort!

People don't even just stand or sit for their own photos these days. Always an Insta style pose. It's an arms race. Models probably trying to stay one step ahead.
