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

Cold shoulder tops do look stupid BUT they are a good way to show a bit of skin while not exposing the world to your bingo wings (if you're me).

And I'm also not a fan of big embroidered flowers on shirts!!! They are everywhere just now

Sparklingbrook · 01/04/2017 20:27

I have been googling for a nice cold shoulder top but can't find one. They are all a bit strange and look like you need to get the sewing box out.

NotStoppedAllDay · 01/04/2017 20:27

Nope!

That flesh/blush pink colour that seems to be in Primark and H&M a lot. Horrible.

Sparklingbrook · 01/04/2017 20:28

My Mother would wear that Not. She's in her seventies. Grin

olderthanyouthink · 01/04/2017 20:30

annie I bought a blush t shirt from H&M couple weeks ago. It was ok looking in the picture, awful in real life, it got returned today.

Younger colleague at work the other day had a hideous pair of beige high waisted baggy bumed ankle grabbing trousers on the other day. Looked awful! I'm sure i dimmly remember them from the 80's.

MrsDoylesTeabags · 01/04/2017 20:33

Yes it's a nice spring time colour, but you'd have to have really strong colouring to not look completely washed out or sausage like in blush pink

Itaintme · 01/04/2017 20:34

I love all the flouncy flared sleeves. I think it must be the old hippy in me.

FeralBeryl · 01/04/2017 20:35

I can't bear the twisty front, block heeled mule comeback Angry it's upset me deeply.

TomaytoTomahto · 01/04/2017 20:36

Saw these horrors at Pull and Bear the other day. Hmm

Itaintme · 01/04/2017 20:36

I saw someone in a pair of furry flip flops the other day. They looked like slippers.

MrsDoylesTeabags · 01/04/2017 20:39

Shock Tomayto
Itaint I think I don't like them because I have shotputter's arms so I know they'd look terrible on me

TheMasterNotMargarita · 01/04/2017 20:40

Dear Lord, my eyes!!

I hate these 'awkward length' trousers. They look shit on the model they won't look any better on mere normal awkward individuals.

I don't care if I'm not fashionable at least I can be stylish.

Cellardoor23 · 01/04/2017 20:43

I think
asos had a lot of ugly clothes at the moment. Unless I'm just getting old Grin

No you're not getting old, they are all bloody awful, those pop socks are terrible

Flibr · 01/04/2017 20:46

Urgh, my ugly-o-meter says 10/10 Some gopping fashions around this spring. looking at you M&S

CointreauVersial · 01/04/2017 20:46

Those fur-lined sandal-things - just horrible. Makes the wearer look like a secret werewolf. And if it's warm enough for sandals, who wants furry footwear?

I'm quite a fan of groovy sleeves, though, as long as they aren't too mental/impractical.

Flibr · 01/04/2017 20:47

That pink frilly blouse is for armpit fetishists

Itaintme · 01/04/2017 20:54

Just why

Do you think those cold shoulder tops are designed to show off people's shoulder tattoos?

DailyFaily · 01/04/2017 20:58

Was just looking for jackets in French Connection the other day and everything is 'oversize' - so effectively a size 10 is actually a size 16 - I mean if I wanted an oversized jacket (and I don't see why I would by the way) then I'd just buy sonething 2 sizes too big, no one needs to manufacture 'oversize'. Also this - they've deconstructed the denim jacket apparently - just, no. www.frenchconnection.com/product/woman-collections-coats-and-jackets/75har/indigo-patched-slouchy-denim-jacket.htm

The fashion for not long enough trousers has been embraced by far too many people. I know we are under stress with Brexit but there is no excuse for such abominations.
