To think this isn't "statement denim", it's hideous?

Unless of course the statement it's making is "hello, I'm fugly"...

the skirts remind me of something i'd have worn when i was at Uni, so alot of years ago.
The jeans with the frill would look cool on my niece, who is 14 and slim. Otherwise no.
I love bell sleeves on everything. Everything except a denim top apparently

I like them all

I have a theory that a buyer might be stuck with a load of extra stock / slow sellers & so has to re-work them for the following season. Some of the stuff is even quite old, could be lying in bulk in a warehouse in Bangladesh for 10 years or more. That's why trends come back around / things look 90s / 00s.
Topshop recently did a range called "Re-worked Denim" or some such & it was pretty obvious what they'd done. I was in Urban Outfitters recently & I swear that the 90s grunge wear they were hawking was actually the very same gear I was buying back in the day... The actual same garments!

I like the shirt with the ruffles and the one with the birds, the rest are hideous!!

Arf! Those are awful. Although I confess I bought a denim dress recently and dh keeps calling me Bea and asking me whose getting crushed in the trouser press tonight

I don't know who the Guardian Magazine has as their stylist but their fashion always looks awful. It looks like the models found the clothes in a charity bag left outside a shop, and that together with atrocious posture from the models makes the clothes look even more shit, if that is possible.

I say we make our own 'statement denim'

No one, no one is going to look good in those Diesel jeans.

When much younger I had a talk on grooming and style at which we were addressed by a fashion journo. Her top tip from her years in the biz was that the monthly fashion magazines knew what they were doing but that you should never ever trust any newspaper style section because they were always thrown together on zero budget and in zero time from whatever they could find lying around in the samples cupboard that week. "Waders, tutu… That'll do. Call it the Pragmatic Faerie Look! Pub anyone?"

How you know for sure that you're old - things that you used to wear as a teen come back into fashion

Coming to This Mornings Lorraine's fashion slot very soon.

I've never understood statement piece, unless it's got a slogan what's the statement? I couldn't tell you what statement clothes strangers down the road are making . The top one with the sparkly stuff looks like something from a 90s/00s teen magazine, actually they all do but my god the prices the statement I'd be making is now broke.

Every single item there was ghastly! Acceptable in the 60s though.

Sweet Jesus.
Why is fashion regressing back to the late 90s/early 00s? they remind me of B'witched and Britney and Justin's head to toe denim outfits. It was awful then and it's awful now. Hideous

Ekk all looks like something like line dancers from the early '90's would wear!
'Don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart . . . '
Lois my parents had jeans like that! there is photographic evidence much to DMum's embarrassment! te he

Oh God. We're back into the nineties? Does that mean I can where my tartan flannel pj bottoms to the clubs? That's what I wore in the 90s, along with a ripped t-shirt, birkenstocks and dark maroon lipstick. And I wondered why I never pulled....

I like the ruffle ones, I'd look great in them if I was a foot taller and my thighs were the circumference of a pencil.
Since this will never happen I won't be wearing them.

Wow, the 90s really are back in "fashion" aren't they!

Bloody hell it's an Etam revival. Quite like the ruffled shirt but the rest is dire.

I can almost here Billy Ray Cyrus knocking one out over them from here.
Ha

I like the black jeans with the ruffle down one side...would look nice with a plainish top and heels. The rest are rank though.

I like the Mango shirt. The rest- as a pp has said, hello '90's TammyGirl!!

Thanks OP I needed a good laugh today! Plus I love the word 'fugly'

Statement denim. None of it looks aimed at anyone over the age of 14. Are we supposed to wear these 90's revivals with our body tops?
