Anything?

I'm quite skinny so something sleeveless for me

Lady Gaga's meat dress, I should think it's a bit pongy by now...

FauxFox · 19/04/2019 16:47

Crocs

FauxFox · 19/04/2019 16:47

But I would not wear them in private either Grin

lljkk · 19/04/2019 16:48

I bet folk will make a long list of things that I wear any time I can, prefer over other clothes.

I've been known to chase out of house with my PJs on, but dont think I'd go shopping with them on.

Onesies. Would not choose to wear one anywhere.

Thismummyruns · 19/04/2019 16:48

Crocs

FluffySocks123 · 19/04/2019 16:50

A thong bikini

WeCameToDance · 19/04/2019 16:53

Underwear.

CMOTDibbler · 19/04/2019 16:53

Meh, though public decency might ask that I don't wear a bikini or anything else revealing my midriff (I am blazingly pale), I can't think of anything I absolutely won't wear in public.
But I'm an open water swimmer and will happily rock up to the lake in a half put on wetsuit, cossie and crocs - then sit around after in a onesie and hair in a turban (and at this time of year a bobble hat and dryrobe with uggs). No shame.

WeCameToDance · 19/04/2019 16:53

Obs I mean just underwear.

Charlottejbt · 19/04/2019 16:53

Shellsuits. When I heard they were back I thought it was a wind-up. From the same fashion era, rugby shirts are supremely unflattering on women, and "mom jeans" look nice on some people but add a decade and several stone to me.

Basically, I hate athleisure and long for skirts and fitted blazers - "proper clothes". If I could be arsed with makeup and grooming I'd probably dress like Joan Collins. :) Alas, I think all the "fashion is dead" type headlines are probably right.

SweetPetrichor · 19/04/2019 16:56

White or light coloured trousers
Heels (cause I'd fall...)
Leggings without a skirt or dress
Skirts shorter than knee length
Crocs or similar
Uggs or similar
PJs
Sleeveless tops (arms aren't toned enough!)

bourbonbiccy · 19/04/2019 16:56

Crocs, tracksuit or flat shoes.

lljkk · 19/04/2019 16:57

Cone bras. Anything that Madonna ever wore is out, basically.

SecretWitch · 19/04/2019 17:00

Anything with feathers

Mokepon · 19/04/2019 17:04

Leggings as trousers.
Lycra shorts.
Crocs.
Socks and sandals.

However, I have worn a onesie under my long coat in the winter, in the dark to pick up DD from activities.

Bgrt73 · 19/04/2019 17:06

Crocs
That quirky high heel brand
Flats
White trousers
Diamantes
Anything animal print

TheQueef · 19/04/2019 17:06

Daisy Dukes.
The universe is unprepared for that treat.

dudsville · 19/04/2019 17:08

well there's a lot of stuff I wouldn't choose to wear

ems137 · 19/04/2019 17:10

White trousers
Shorts
Short skirts or dresses
Normal leggings (not sports)

I absolutely hate my cellulite legs, if there was an actual cure for it I would sell or give pretty much anything for it!

FiremanKing · 19/04/2019 17:13

Nipple tassels.

Especially if popping to the supermarket. Particularly Iceland as the could easily get caught in a Freezer lid.

bsc · 19/04/2019 17:16

A jumpsuit- I just don't understand how one is supposed to use the loo... Confused

JoeyBartonHanson · 20/04/2019 11:25

Also a Blackburn Rovers shirt

Nightwear/Dressing Gown/Slippers etc. I genuinely can’t understand why people go to the shops etc in their pjs.

I also can’t go anywhere without a bra on!

DameDoom · 20/04/2019 11:53

Anything that reveals my sagging knees, Juicy Couture tracksuit, bandeau maxi dress and wedges, a tabard, J-Lo's Croydon facelift updo and her Creole earrings. I would say no to a sparkly pink cowboy hat - would rather wear a back to front balaclava.

MadisonMontgomery · 20/04/2019 11:56

Obviously anything that would cause public indecency, but personally I wouldn’t be seen dead in anything ‘quirky’ like those 50’s ish dresses and godawful irregular choice shoes.
