Only ever wear a dress or heels if I'm going to a wedding, big 'do', Christmas night out etc.
I have one going out handbag and a couple of casual cross-body jobs but use them once in a blue moon, I hate carrying a bag

Shorts and necklaces. Just don't suit them.

Socks over gym leggings - seems to be school run mums uniform

The things I don't wear are mostly because I can't. I've never been able to walk in heels, I've got high arches so can't wear flip flops and I'd love to be the person who can pull off hats, but I'm not. Only to keep my head warm in the winter.
I'm not one for scarves or floaty accessories.

Hoodies
Fleeces
Skirts

I do not wear earrings. My ears are not pierced (and ear jewelry for non-pierced ears is usually uncomfortable).

Belts for any reason other than holding my trousers up - I have never had a neat, trim waist, so it's not an area I want to draw attention to.

Stiletto heels - I have a hip condition that means I just can't wear them. I do block heels or wedges though, but it's a nightmare when they're not in fashion and there's only spindly heels if I don't want flats. At the other end of the scale, sliders and flipflops are out for same reason.

Those long quilted coats/ bodywarmer things.

Stilettos, although I own two lovely pairs and would like to wear them and not look like I borrowed shoes from my mum
Bodycon dresses- I would look terrible in those
Sweatpants or even worse- sweatpants outside house. I just don't get it
