Just been browsing the topshop website... AIBU and maybe getting old to think that these clothes are really ugly?

The yellow ones are hideous.

Other two aren't so bad.

cardibach · 01/04/2017 19:59

The first and last aren't too bad apart from the footwear choice. The middle one is vile though!

SilverDoo · 01/04/2017 20:00

This one then....

I'm in agreement here OP. Have been shopping for my summer wardrobe, & I'd come to the conclusion I'd somehow lost my mojo for clothes shopping.

SilverDoo · 01/04/2017 20:01

Yes it was the footwear combo that made me wince on a few of them

Again, made much worse by footwear choice. Although it's pretty shapeless anyway...

Sparklingbrook · 01/04/2017 20:02

These are a bit alarming

Yes! Just so unflattering, even on a gorgeous model...

I hate the 'cold shoulder' tops

Make me shudder! Unflattering

Sparklingbrook · 01/04/2017 20:06

I hate the cold shoulder tops. This would be handy if you were having an injection maybe...

CigarsofthePharoahs · 01/04/2017 20:06

Aagh!
What are these monstrosities?
The first pair look like something my grandad used to wear!
They all look like the models had a sudden growth spurt but couldn't afford new clothes!

SilentlyScreamingAgain · 01/04/2017 20:07

I'm wearing something a bit like the first pair of trews posted but full length. They might be ugly but I look like MC Hammer and that's a win for me.

SilverDoo · 01/04/2017 20:09

The first pair would be fine long though, obviously without the pointy boots...

BigBrownSofa123 · 01/04/2017 20:10

Oh I quite like the yellow ones, they look v comfy.
The footwear is hideous though.
It's not so new but I hate all the bloody cut out stuff.

NeonGod73 · 01/04/2017 20:11

It's the high waisted jeans/ trousers that give me the creeps. I see them on teenagers and think, you dumb little freaks! They just look ugly on anyone. Nobody can make them look okay.

MiddlingMum · 01/04/2017 20:11

I don't think I've ever worn fashionable clothes, but I saw a couple of people in really shapeless trousers today and thought how glad I was to be out of that whole thing of needing to follow a trend.

Electrolens · 01/04/2017 20:11

I've noticed a just graduated wearing similar in the office, she is tall and slim and lovely looking and looks fantastic in ankle skimming trousers baggy tops and boots. I however am 10 years older and would look like a sack of spuds. So I stick to what I know! YANBU

Sparklingbrook · 01/04/2017 20:12

Why do people want to expose their shoulders with cut out bits?

Electrolens · 01/04/2017 20:12

I'm not saying you couldn't carry it off of course op Smile

ohfourfoxache · 01/04/2017 20:17

The cut out shoulder thing is quite comfy if it's really baggy

MiddlingMum · 01/04/2017 20:20

Surely if it's cold enough to need long sleeves you'd want to have all of your arms warm? Speaking as someone who tends to dress for comfort rather than fashion.

Sparklingbrook · 01/04/2017 20:20

I think the cut off shoulder thing looks really, really weird. Like 'look at my shoulders!' Just wear a strappy top if you want folk to see your amazing shoulders. Grin

MrsDoylesTeabags · 01/04/2017 20:21

I really don't like cold shoulder tops, I don't see the point in them and the fashion now seems to be for really weird fancy sleeves which I really don't like. I was talking to a woman the other day and she was wearing this really nice dress but it had got these flared sleeves and she kept putting her hand behind her back it looked like she had no arms, it was reeally distracting.
I mean who would look good in this

olderthanyouthink · 01/04/2017 20:24

I can't get on board with off the shoulder tops because I hate wearing strapless bras. I don't like the cut out shoulder tops because they look silly.

Wide short trousers just look wrong to me but I think I want some wide long ones because they'd be comfy.

I'm 21 btw but I'm also ancient it seems.

MrsDoylesTeabags · 01/04/2017 20:24

Having said that, I'm wearing something similar to the yellow trousers right now although to be fair I am sitting on the sofa watching Ant & Dec with a chippy tea and they're really comfy Grin
