AIBU?

Cut out shoulders tops

I am in no doubt I am being unreasonable, can't stand these tops and think they make the most attractive people look bloomin' awful. I can't be alone in this surely?

I really hated them. But then found one that I liked from I think river island. Most of them look cheap though

I think, generally speaking, they look a bit stupid. Why would you want great holes in your jumper? 😁

But if I looked like the girl in the Link does, I'd go around in a bikini 😁😁. Missing shoulders...Pah!

YANBU to dislike them. I think they make otherwise nice tops look absolutely hideous. Each to their own though. I'm sure a lot of people would dislike the stuff that I wear.

I've got one & hate the bloody thing as I'm forever trying to get my arms through the shoulders by mistake. Can't be doing with complications like that first thing in the morning!

I don't posses one but I think they are really stylish. Fashion has been so " safe" for too long. I find the most stylish women are mostly wearing charity shop finds nowadays.
As I have broad shoulders; a ridiculously narrow ribcage and small boobs the cut out shoulders wouldn't suit me.

I don't have one so I can't really say but I have quite good shoulders and lower arms and the most hideous upper arms where weight loss and exercise have left excess skin (sorry if tmi) so I can't help but wonder if they might hide the worst of me.

I suspect that on the right person with the right outfit they could look OK, I am not that person and don't have that outfit.

Somebody was wearing on on lose women with heels and what looked like a pencil skirt and heels, it was not a great look on her

Very useful if you are going for a flu jab or similar.

Horrible. Second only to polo necked jumpers with no sleeves. WHY WHY WHY?

I think you have to be under 30 to get away with wearing one

I bought one for the heatwave and love it - at the moment my arms are super toned from toddler lifting so a piece of clothing that shows the top six inches of my torso but then glosses over the rest, whilst still allowing a bra, is pretty much perfect (and a welcome break from massive tunics which cover everything)

Ugly. They look crap on everyone.

They look really cheap, and I bet people aren't putting sunscreen on their shoulders either...

They don't flatter the overweight.

They look great on the right physique. Look fucking awful on the wrong shape. Like most clothes!!

The long sleeved tight fitting ones look nice on a slender frame. The frilly, loose fitting, paisley/floral monstrosities look awful though.

I agree - long sleeved is better.

I have a black, DKNY one which is in a flattering cut and looks really good with jeans. I have quite shapely shoulders and arms are okay, plus am tanned at the mo' so think I look good Smile

I don't think they look good on anyone.

I like them. I don't have a tan (will NEVER have a tan) but I do have sticking out collar bones. ;)

Oh great. You 'have to be under thirty' and they 'don't suit the overweight'. On the plus side, I now have a new rag to clean the loo with.
