Is the floral dress and white trainers look out?

Over 30? Lost (or never had) youthful good looks? Bigger than a size 8? Fuck off home and stop scaring the young and ‘fashionable’ people.

Jeez. I missed that post! Deeply unpleasant.

‘But that look always dies when unattractive and typically unfashionable people all start wearing it, so it puts everyone off.’

I presume you don’t include yourself in this group of people who obviously should just be shunned and not allowed out 😂

We just can’t be bothered shopping anymore. We re wear the same stuff for eons rather than polluting the planet with polyester tat.

Wear what makes you happy. Why do you care what others think?

Exactly!

Not taken as rude at all. I'm actually secretly glad to hear that Vejas are out because the couple of women I know who wear nothing else are definitely giving off the 'I'm so on trend and you're not' attitude. Quite nice to hear they're also wrong!
Plus white trainers were a nightmare to keep clean.

And spectacularly missing the point that a bunch of young people out together often look like mindless clones too! Ageist fucking nonsense.

You’re going to love middle age 😂😂

@Sugarnspicenallthingsnaice I had/have no idea if they were in or out or 'all the rage'.
I needed a pair of comfortable shoes for a lot of city walking I often do (often 6 miles in a day.)

I can't wear ballet flats and I don't like open toed shoes in the city (too many experiences of people standing on my toes.)

They fitted the bill as I have very narrow feet and struggle to find any shoes to fit.

I ordered loads of styles and brands to try on and those worked for me.

Maybe not insult posters without knowing the full circumstances?

HTH.

And most of us will be again this summer because -

-the shops are still selling them
-we care about the planet more than fast fashion
-we don't need to look 'imaginative' for people like you who look down on us.

Presumably your 'look' is unique and not following some trend of teenager 'clones' or women not yet middle aged?

HTH

A couple of years ago almost every middle aged woman was wearing the floral dress and white trainers.

Looked like a bunch of unimaginative clones….

It was an attempt at humour, one person at least posted that they would roll their eyes at the floral dress/denim jacket/white trainers combo. Calling me aggressive is just plain silly 😂 people having a different opinion isn’t aggressive, maybe try not to take yourself so seriously!

I don’t think it’s really a question of style versus fashion though, as so many PPs are saying.

A trend always starts with someone looking fabulous in something and then people start copying the look, and it grows exponentially until it’s become a ‘look’.

But that look always dies when unattractive and typically unfashionable people all start wearing it, so it puts everyone off.

That cycle happens almost every time and usually lasts for a couple of years.

Even if it were in Style and Beauty, it's called Style not Fashion for a reason.
I suggest you have one "So Last Season" thread for planet burning fast fashion muppets and leave Style for people who are actually stylish and not sheep following the herd.

This is a pointless distinction. While style is more personal, it can – and frequently does – incorporate fashion. It therefore makes sense to discuss fashion in the Style section.

I'm not sure why being interested in fashion makes you a muppet or a sheep. It doesn't mean you rush out and buy the latest look, it just means you take an interest. I'm interested in books and often buy new ones that are recommended elsewhere - it doesn't make me a muppet or a sheep.

That's rich when the thread is in AIBU.

YASSSSS 🙌

I genuinely didn't think 'in' and 'out' was a thing anymore. The last 10 years or so, all styles seem to be available and widely worn. I literally just wear what I like and have never felt either 'in' or 'out' at all. Just clothed. I thought fashions and trends themselves were 'out'! Maybe I'm just oblivious though.

For all those saying to OP to wear what she wants, who cares about fashion…

she does! She’s literally said in her Op she wants to keep her look fresh and contemporary. So your posts are useless and irrelevant.

I also agree that it was a 30+ look, not 20s

Wear what you like. At my age my mum wore pleated skirts and polo neck jumpers and had a perm and a headscarf. She always looked put together but it was like a look she gravitated towards.
I am so am glad that times have moved on and we aren’t relegated to a certain look due to our age.

I’m not going to send you my CV! I’ve worked in numerous fashion buying offices with women my age. If you weren’t around young women in 2017 I don’t think you’ll ever be able to recall it.

Thank god for that. I’ve been happily dressing ahead of current fashion trends my entire life and would hate to find myself actually fashionable.

That would definitely make me feel old! 😂😂

Never in my life have I ever seen a young 20 something in a floral dress and white trainers. Maybe 30s. Do you have photographic evidence? 🤣

What a bizarre response. The OP asked about looks being 'in' or 'out' and I gave my opinion.

Nobody will roll their eyes because no-one will care what you are wearing.

Clogs have been 'in' for a few years now. Many wearing them with socks. Yet you've completely missed that and do not appear to know what C85's are. So you don't follow trends and that's fine but there's no need to be aggressive on a trend based thread.

Give it until 2032 and you'll probably be wearing them under the guise of 'I don't follow trends or fashion'.

I think people look best when they are wearing flattering clothes, suited to their body shape and which make them happy so they feel comfortable wearing them. That’s the only type of ‘style’ I care about really, on me or anyone else!
