WTF is this new trend

In the 80,s I once wore my dads pyjama bottoms because they matched a blouse i had, fastened at the waist with a broad cummerband, stilletto heels and lace gloves.

I don't know. A lot of 90s fashion came from vintage shops - we were all wearing velvet jackets at one point, as well as the slip dresses and the boas, I remember a brief fad for evening gloves- and the designers were following the existing trends rather than vice versa. I think we were doing it for joy, not for men, although at that age of course you probably want to pull as well.

I love your style, madam! Am very glad your deleted comment wasn't for this thread 😂 I mean, there's bum-scrunch leggings and then there's ... that.

I saw something on social media over the weekend - woman looking for a wedding guest dress. Beautiful Gucci (I think) number in a bronzy shade, she looked beautiful in it but it had a weird sewn in visible white bra. Totally spoiled the look of a beautiful dress.

Perhaps we should encourage the lads to bring it back! 😂

She did,it's not new at all.

I think she looks great!

After that scene in The Inbetweeners thank god the side testicle trend didn’t catch on 🫣

That’s horrible.

The dresses and tops looking like petticoats/slips were fashionable in the early 2000s. I bought a nice camisole top one. Victoria Beckham is still wearing them but they seem quite dated to me now.

Yes a pox on those scrunch leggings, was the style stolen from male ballet dancers?

More like this! Sold as nighties or petticoats, worn as club dresses. Mine was a kind of oyster white colour. I tried to find a pic of people wearing the actual M and S slips in the 90s because everyone was wearing them but can't find anything.

True. I see a lot more side boob than side testicle.

I think this T-shirt from the US "cult" brand Vaquera, popularised by Charli XCX among others, might be a contemporary example that's probably been copied at lower price points ($245 US is about £180). There's a fine line between being transgressive (transcending the old "rules" about underwear showing, exposing and making a mockery of the fetishisation of "sexy" women's underwear, or even a Riot Grrrl or Rose McGowan type protest - "you want it so badly, here it is, arseholes! - but on my terms, not yours") and being exploited and commodified or at least promoting something harmful to women as a group. That line may not be in the exact same place for everyone. But somehow, a menswear equivalent like an oversized T silkscreened with a singlet and boxers - or even with a Speedo, bow tie, and chest hair - doesn't ever quite "hit the same".

Marianne Faithfull wore her nightie to go to Covent Garden some time in the early seventies. It was fairly sober and not obviously nightwear, but she boasted about it to make sure people would know. In central and eastern European cities that were occupied by the USSR during the Second World War, the occupying army basically took what they wanted from the local population. Local women who were still financially well-off enough to afford it would go to the theatre or opera and see the Soviet officers' wives and daughters proudly decked out in their own confiscated slips and nightdresses. The "joke" was that they had never seen silk clothing before and thought these were elegant evening wear. Who knew they were just ahead of their time? 😏

Exactly what I was thinking of. It's not really a new thing. Just a desperate reinventing of a rubbish idea.

I quite like a non-lacy silk cami worn as a top under a jacket myself.

yes, I had so many mesh tops in the 90s so you could see a spangly bra underneath.

Yeah we did it in the 80s and again in the 2000s, it’s nothing new.

A spikey apricot pom-pom?!😂
Please explain!!!! 🙂

I with you if you mean Farah Fawcett 1970's hair? Years ago I asked for a Farah Fawcett-inspired cut. Loved. It. I tend to get really '70's inspired: blue suede trench in my wardrobe and I always go for over-sized sunglasses.
I like the idea of a boa (!!!) mentioned somewhere here as well. 🤗😀🥳

😭😭😭😭 deleted last part - wrong thread.
(pml)

I would need a significantly bigger bra!

I think she looks pretty good. Great tan, shapeley strong legs….what offends you? Broderie anglais all over 😁. Don’t google, there’s also one of her smiling in denim hot pants too. I still think they look great on her too

I wouldn’t wear it but it’s definitely not something new. I remember things like this when was a teenager. (I’m 40)
I also had a body suit that looked a lot like lingerie, but it wasn’t and I wore it a blazer, that was just a few years ago.

Fashion is odd. No one will like all of it all of the time.

haha I also used to wear lace nighties as club dresses in the early 2000s
