Is the floral dress and white trainers look out?

You were though. Don’t women get criticised enough?

Heaven forbid that you should be bored when looking at how other women dress, whatever next?! I’m sure you are just the epitome of the latest trend aren’t you? I bet you wear those ridiculous white socks that stop mid calf over black leggings 😂

You were though.

Wear what you like but I saw it on tv and I immediately thought...etc

If you live your life governed by trends so be it but others don't care.

Absolutely didn’t mean to be bitchy.

Why on earth does someone else’s clothing choices cause you to roll your eyes 🤷🏻‍♀️

Things that are "in" are more available. They are shown to you and younstsrt thinking about them. You notice people around you wearing something and then you decide if you like it. No average perksn is wearing things they hate and feel terrible in just cause it is in style.

Something being "in" makes is socially acceptable. There waa a point where wearing trainers with formal wear was a big nono. Now that it's everywhere (and therefore "in") it is socially acceptable to do that.

I'm not particularly fashionable person. I never really liked long summer dresses but once they were everywhere I decided to give it a try and liked them. Am I going to throw away my white sneakers now that theye out? Of course not. But maybe with the new trend I notice something I like. I'm still wearing my skinny jeans like I have since I was 15. But doesn't mean I can't consider alternatives as they come to shops

Respectfully yes they did. I worked in a fashion office with dozens of young 20 somethings and it was worn albeit a long long time ago. Circa 2016 2017

You lot all waste so much of your lives judging other people's clothes.

I would say wear what you like and please do...BUT ...enters bitchy comment 🙄

I would normally say just wear whatever you like (and please do if you like) but I saw someone in the floral dress and trainers on tv over the weekend and I immediately thought that trend had definitely passed!

It’s not about following a trend, it’s about buying clothes that are available in the shops/online, that you like and that suit you.

I certainly won’t be following the current trend of everything looking like an oversized sack, completely shapeless massive dresses and dungarees, no thanks!

DD tells me that colourful Jordan's are back in and has been trying to persuade me to buy a pair ("Sage green would be best on you mum, if you go for the cream or rose you'll look older")

I just go, uh huh, and continue to wear what is comfortable (although I have to admit, I really do like the sage!)

Hate floral with a passion, especially as it seems to be the go to look for all plus size wear, like "it's ok, she's fat, she'll love flowers, they all do"

Oh no! Someone on TikTok who I'll never meet has decreed that white dresses and trainers are no longer acceptable! However will I cope?!

Meanwhile, back in the real world...

I can’t imagine my colleagues saying their look is out to anyone. It’s so rude.

Literally never owned a pair of white trainers, tell a lie we had to wear them in the school gym

I'm 50, I wear colourful trainers, got a red pair and a dark lilac pair. Floral dresses have gone from my wardrobe, but more because they weren't really my style as I prefer more geometric patterns.

I think it’s always been a middle aged look but there’s nothing wrong with that. If you like it, wear it!

Well who really cares what some anon 'lady' on MN (i.e. you, me or anyone else on this board) thinks, if you're going down that route?

Because reading comprehension = non existent

Sorry but hope it's out! Never liked that look and if it's not in fashion anymore, then hopefully shops will start selling something else. Past several years haven't found anything but awful floral dresses from shops!

There’s no such thing as ‘in’ or ‘out’. Rock your own look.

Some form of floral is always en vogue every Spring/Summer. It’s the cut of the dress and type of floral that changes. There are endless possibilities.

As for footwear, always go for comfort. Trainers, platform sliders/sandals, flats, clogs, crocs etc. You can wear socks with any until it gets really warm.

She's not wrong though.

^Wear whatever you like.
Personally, I don’t give a toss about “in” or “out”. There are no rules, just what some nauseating influencers or whatever decide will make them more money.
You do you.^

@CollaterlieSistersSister Totally agree with you.

I have multiple pairs of trainers - still wearing white flat form Nikes / adidas / Veja’s for work. I bought some multicoloured gazelles recently but am still wearing my nike dunks too when not at work. I mainly wear Birkenstocks over the summer as I have since the 1990’s

Wearing the floral dress/crossover bag/white trainers look from a couple of years ago is a completely different thing to have your own sense of style and not following trends at all.

The first looks out of date, the second looks great if you are good at styling.
