Page 6 | 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.

There was one like the one above in either Zara or Mango or equivilent.

I mean why would any woman wear that?

I've got a few like that, they are all training tops from the London moonwalk about a decade ago!

Coming through Gatwick airport last week there were some sights. I saw on young teenager in a pair of white knickers reminiscent of the frilly ones people used to wear under tennis skirts, but with the frills all around & a vest top with suspenders hanging down. She literally looked as though she had gone out in her underwear. I saw the frilly knickers thing a few times, but only saw the suspenders once.

Don’t get this at all. Women don’t seem to help themselves at all. 1 step forward and 3 back!

Wingingit73 · 23/08/2026 17:18

I wore that in 93

NewFrock · 23/08/2026 17:13

I remember a trend in the 80s for bras as outerwear after Madonna’s cone bra scandal.
theres nowt new in fashion, it all just goes round in cycles

Yep. And the older you get the faster it seems to cycle.

ThatBliddyWoman · 23/08/2026 17:13

In my mid-twenties I worked with a woman who had a skirt she'd wear for going out which had a naked bottom printed onto the back of it. I'm 44 now so early 2000s.

AMurderofMurderingCrows · 23/08/2026 17:11

Noooo it has pants too 😂

QueenietheGreat · 23/08/2026 17:07

@nonoono
I agree, everything I've seen myself done in this style looks unfinished and messy, especially if the hem is fishtail/diagonally cut
Also the colours used contrasting together can be so wrong

BrandiedAromatics · 23/08/2026 17:03

So is it appliqué this time? I suppose trompe l'oeil is so last year ... see last para and pic:

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 😂

I know that was last decade!! 😊

Madonna started all that in 1984

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.

Cranarc · 23/08/2026 16:49

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.

ChelseaBagger · 23/08/2026 16:37

I'm very curious what her vintage 90s dish consists of? I just had a quick look to see what the internet considers to be classic 90s foods, and it only gave me sunny D, Capri sun, Cadburys fuse, and stuffed crust pizza (maybe that's exactly what she's going for 🤷‍♀️)

Show quote history

Sorry, it was 1990, not 1999. The recipe was Rock Bottom Pie.

LlynTegid · 23/08/2026 16:38

Most fashion is dire. I wonder if it is a practical joke, someone thinking how can we take people for a mug.

We had those in the 80s too..

Really? Bra's stitched on t-shirts in the 90’s? I don’t remember that at all.

Nor do I .
Anyway it is dire.

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.

Exactly-there was a reel of the low jeans, the cami, and the corduroy blazer from 05!
Trends come and go in everything. I suppose in the past, only younger people tended to follow fashion, and over thirties tended to all wear the same (if you look at old photos, women all tended to have the same greying hairstyle and similar clothes after this age, so trends maybe weren't worn twice by the same women).

“Really old” and “1990s” in the same sentence? I’m having palpitations 😮😂

Me either! Im 46 and never seen fashion quite as ridiculous as this! Poor girls of today! 😂

Show quote history

I remember hilarious t-shirts from the 90s that had images of blue tits on the....well.... tits. "Lovely 🍐" was another classic. I think pictures of actual underwear were reserved for novelty aprons?

HollyhocksandPeons · 23/08/2026 16:02

Sorry, I must be showing my age, but this is a very old trend - like really old. 1990s.

Not seen this . Yet. Not surprised. Will Not be surprised when I see young women actually walking down the street naked because it seems they are taking their cue from celebrities and social media and a lot of parents don't seem to be doing anything to educate their daughters in acceptable and decent fashion choices.

Totalkl fed up of young women pushing the boundaries of decency and the cool parents telling them that's fine. Just get on with it.

Totally ridiculous that women complain about not getting respect when they actually don't have any respect for the rest of society themselves.

I am pissing myself laughing, and I salute you for your honesty.

Show quote history

In the 70s I bought a long (maxi) length bra slip in black from M&S and wore it as an evening dress. My friend bought two long nighties with billowy sleeves and wore those to parties and clubs. I'm sure people were laughing behind our backs, but we were oblivious and thought we were the coolest of the cool.

ChelseaBagger · 23/08/2026 16:23

In the late 90s/early 00s i remember wearing light coloured vest tops with bright coloured bras underneath so that they showed through. And the ultra-low hipster jeans with a thong deliberately sticking out the back. And we were obsessed with lacey camisoles, which are essentially just lingerie. Plus ca change.

Oh, and half the skimpy spaghetti strap vest tops also had a massive cut out in the front, and I was never quite sure whether the hole was supposed to rest above your boobs, or whether you were supposed to pull it down so the neckline rested just above above your boobs (kind of normal) and the hole was then over your cleavage....🤷‍♀️
