Page 5 | WTF is this new trend

AIBU to think the trend for Lingerie lace and silk as outer wear is really odd? Everywhere I look there’s cheap lace appliquéd onto skirts and t shirts. Then today I saw bra’s, as t-shirt motif’s. AIBU to think this trend is awful.

Hadn't seen this new trend until now, and I don't like it. Looks cheap, in more ways than one.

All the 'Look at Me's' will buy it and then complain that people are looking at them, lol.

I now need to know about the 90s M&S nightie and feather boa
Because I’m imagining these

idk if this one will work as it’s a sale item. But this is just a lace nightdress sold as day wear. We didn’t have so much choice a few decades ago and it was often cheaper to buy a nightdress rather than a day dress, which basically looked identical.

Its not my style, but I don't hate it!
I'd never wear it though, as there would somewhat of a gap between my spaniels ears and the pretty little lace thing under my chin(s) 🤣

Washingupdone · 23/08/2026 18:30

Hideous it may be but I would prefer to see my DGD wear that than, the low cut high cut t-shirt that shows all. At least there is a bit of cover.

AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 23/08/2026 18:13

The only thing I remember about hot-pants was my considered opinion that someone ought to have told Liz Taylor that they really didn't suit her legs. She wore some on one occasion when she flew into Heathrow, I think combined with over-the-knee white boots, and the press photos were not kind to her.

CruCru · 23/08/2026 18:11

I get a bit cross about shops selling obviously bad clothes. Not because they aren’t to my taste but because fashion is so wasteful. Producing loads and loads of tops that fashion people say is “edgy” but normal people say is hideous means more going to landfill - either here or in a poorer country.

I don’t just mean this (horrid) stuff. Clothes with stupid logos on. Shapeless dresses in a weird length and colour. So much waste.

I was a bit shocked to find a woman wearing lacy French knickers as shorts in Starbucks this morning. I suppose it's better than dressing gown and slippers, which I have also seen in there.

Blame Temu and Shein for the mini lace shorts that look like lingerie trend. Although Boohoo and ASOS also had plenty.

Prefer the mid thigh ones myself but are they are worse than hot pants?

On the plus side, Superman must be relieved. He's not the only idiot with his underwear on the outside any more.

🤣🤣

ImmortalSnowman · 23/08/2026 17:56

Was no one a teen in the 00s? Dressing like the girl bands, skip the tshirt altogether.

Surely every woman’s tits are not in exactly the same place 😬 would these tops not look odd if you’re not filling out in the right place? They’re hideous 😂

Yep, the bra on my moonwalk t-shirts assumes things are a whole lot perkier than the reality!

Don't know if it's new or just come round again - I had a skirt in the 2000s that older people were always stopping me to tell me "your slip is showing" because it had a bit of silk and lace at the bottom. I also used to wear M and S nighties as club dresses, with a boa and sandals.

Have I imagined this or did M&S have a worn to be seen range? I'm sure I remember wearing some of their underwear as outerwear.

It was the fashion in the 70s too. I had a lovely floral layered skirt that had lace at the bottom. My DM hated it because in HER day, showing your slip meant you were a prostitute.

Unless it's a car (has to have been made before 1930 to qualify as vintage, I think) "vintage" just means "more than twenty years old" really, so 1999 things would definitely be vintage. In cars of course over twenty years old is "classic". Or sometimes it isn't. Personally I just call things over twenty years old "old"; it saves trouble.

I have just eaten a prawn cocktail; that's probably retro....

I write fiction and anything set prior to 1980 is counted as 'historical'.

How the hell can 1980 be history? I was THERE!

MargaretThursday · 23/08/2026 17:36

It's like a lot of fashion. I look at it (and always have, so it's not just a sign of getting old) and just think "why?"

I remember 4yo dd asking me why people would buy a skirt with a hole in "when they'll just have to darn it when they get home" and I often think similar.

But I want to know why so many bras are padded. I hate padded bras. It's hot enough at the moment without adding more layers.
I went to M&S and all I wanted was not padded and not underwired (which give me a rash) and had a choice of about 2, neither of which had my size.

I heard someone the other day say that they were making a vintage recipe from 1999, and I've never been more outraged in my life 😂

Whilst I'm not a fan of the t-shirt, I always think some of the sneery comments about fashion on here are just so serious/uptight/miserable.
I love clothes and experimenting with new silhouettes and am actually chuckling away at pp's description about a silk nightie and feather boa combo as I'm pretty sure I had a similar outfit! I certainly wouldn't look back and be mortified, it was just of its time.
Fair enough it's not for everyone but experimenting with clothes and style is quite a joyful and fun experience for many people.
