Rosy - omg.

1 million percent agree with crocs... the holes in them are for your dignity to leak out of. 🙊

The good news is I think cold shoulder tops are out, I haven’t seen many in the shops this spring.

The bad news is the ugly buggers are going to be cluttering up the rails of every charity shop in the land for the foreseeable future.

I love leather Uggs, dungarees, puffa jackets, ditsy prints and polka dots.

Hate cold shoulder tops, asymmetric anything, acrylic, cropped wide leg jeans, fisherman jumpers, leather leggings, high heels of any kind.

Armi · 16/04/2019 16:21

Uncomfortable shoes
Clothes that fashion, or those who think they know about these things, dictate I should wear
Anything that makes me look like a twat

TeacupDrama · 16/04/2019 16:27

clothes with rips, holes frayed hems or no hem just threads

leggings with short tops or thinner than 80 denier tights

crocs uggs I have to wear flat shoes all the time but no need for such ugliness

cold shoulder tops

fake tan

crocs

track suits
tiny bikini

labazsisgoingmad · 16/04/2019 17:15

fur
animal print esp leopard print
crocs
anything on anyone that smacks of mutton dressed as lamb
neon colours

Craftycorvid · 16/04/2019 17:18

Most of the above, though I do like dungas and Doc Martens. Stiletto heeled crocs must be the stuff of nightmares! I’d add just about anything ‘featured’ in magazines as a ‘this season’s must-have’ - I find myself muttering ‘but why would you want to wear something that weird/ugly/polyester?’ All high street fashion chains these days - soooo many artificial fibres; it must be a fire hazard just browsing.

Ronsters · 16/04/2019 17:20

Crocs
Animal print
Hareem pants
Those tight wet look leggings
Baker boy caps

Cold shoulder tops
Birkenstocks
Jeans that are a little bit flared. I think they are called boot flare?
Boots with a heel. I would say heels but I do wear them about once a year for a wedding or something. I look good in them but I hate them.

Onesmallstepforaman · 16/04/2019 17:24

Anything with the brand plastered all over it, I'm not an advertising hoarding

Angelinthenightx · 16/04/2019 17:30

Jeans
Trousers
Id feel like a guy wearing these items.

Awful false eyebrows. Wtf is that all about?

labazsisgoingmad · 16/04/2019 19:09

oh yes cold shoulder tops whats the point?
ripped jeans thrown better ones away

ComtesseDeSpair · 16/04/2019 19:25

What’s wrong with cropped tops?? I run in mine all summer and wear them often to club in. I look great!

Only thing I’d definitely never wear in any format is a thong. So uncomfortable.

puppy23 · 16/04/2019 22:30

I wear maybe half of the stuff mentioned on here! Ah well, world would be boring if we all wore the same stuff hey.
My list would include:

Brown leather boots
Stripes
Light denim
Heavy eyeshadow
Real fur
Velvet

AtSea1979 · 16/04/2019 22:36

Short sleeved top (horrid fat arms)
Above knee Dress/skirts (horrid fat knees)
Open toe shoes (horrid toes nails)
Cropped top (horrid fat belly)
Low top (horrid wrinkly neck and droopy boobs).

Most things on this list I tend to wear. Jeans and boots and hoodies.

LazyLemur · 16/04/2019 23:58

You're all wrong about (shoes of the gods) birkenstocks. They are wonderful. They go with everything and come in every different colour!

-Cold shoulder tops though. Just no.

-Those jeans that are short at the ankle and high at the waist. Since when was "face/neck/boobs/SUDDENLY A SUPER-LONG CROTCH" a flattering look? Nope. I tried them once when I was post birth wobbly and looked like my husband having a laugh. I cried.

-50s inspired anything. The petticoats hanging out the bottom thing makes me irrationally upset.

-Mascara. Feels crusty. Looks crusty. Can't do rubbing my eyes. No thank you.
