Not exactly an accessory but I have never done a French tuck. And even when I see models sporting a French tuck on adverts etc, I Grin because they look very silly imho.

What are puffy sandals?

Seconding this, I don’t know what these are either.

Anything high necked. I look like a pair of walking boobs

Are scarves and gloves 'fashion item'? I live in Scotland and they are pretty much essential in winter.

AnyFucker · 23/04/2023 12:56

Anything short

"Fashion" scarves (as opposed to functional winter ones)
Got one of those online analysis style guides and nearly every page recommended some kind of floaty scarf accessory. I've seen a single person look good with one!

Something like this i think, usually with a square toe? Could be wrong.

I never ever wear belts.

Thanks! I haven’t seen those - possibly they aren’t out here yet (it’s the wrong season) or I’ve managed to miss them, since I never look at sandals. Very strange looking things, I must say.

gettingoldisshit · 23/04/2023 13:17

@HeadNorth mainly the scarves that people wear as an accessory to an outfit! I can tolerate a winter scarf if it's absolutely freezing but never gloves, I detest them.

Loafers. They are ugly man shoes and make women look ridiculous (imho).
