To think current fashion is f*cking hideous?

Probably BU but I went shopping the other week as I needed a few tops. I saw:
Bright yellow playsuits
Hideous tops with the shoulders cut out
Skirts that look more like belts
Jeans with so many rips that they are indecent
Tops that aren't even decent (too short)
Cardigans with no sleeves (why, you wear a cardigan if it's cold surely)
AIBU to think that it's hideous and nobody would want to be seen dead in it?

It is an old thread but looking in the shops, and at the fashion victims out and about, nothing has changed, other than there are more arse cheeks on show with the even shorter whore's cut offs and the higher rips in the over shredded, skin tight jeans. So many people seem to not own a mirror these days or look at their back view.

I usually tend to think people should wear what they like but sometimes it feels as if I have wandered into a 'worse dressed' competition. I have turned into my mother.

Whores? Really? What a nasty comment.

It’s really awful. I’m in desperate need of tops and all I can find are tops that show your tummy or tops with things like ‘milan’ or ‘kiss me, quick’ written on. There seems to be no middle ground...it’s either stuff for 18 year olds in Topshop or stuff for 50+ in Next

Whore's cut-offs?

Thymelord · 21/06/2018 13:07

Ansumpasty I am on a very limited budget, and I appreciate that lots of people on here wouldn't dream of wearing it, but Asda do some really decent clothes that are very well priced. My wardrobe is practically all George.

Destinysdaughter I should probably warn you that 'doggy style' and 'dogging' are not the same thing and it's a mistake you wont make twice I can tell you.

Have a look at Sainsbury's Premium collection, I was very surprised how nice some of the stuff are. I've ordered a few bits from there and people were genuinely shocked when I told them it was Sainsbury's Premium collection.

I'm sure it's been mentioned but shorts that are so short 3/4 of but cheek is falling out Envy

Yes - I was wasting time browsing last night and saw loads of pics of famous women in vile curtain material outfits. One was Gwyneth Paltrow - ok, she may be batshit but she's very beautiful and still looked vile.

For the more 'matronly' among us, it is a fecking nightmare! Angry

Nothing seems to have a waist-just up and down material I don't want to wear a sack!just something that nips in a bit!

Canuckduck · 25/01/2019 17:19

It’s awful. Cold shoulder, crushed velvet, scrunchies, short trousers (even in Canada when it’s minus a billion degrees) ribbed tops, chenille. It looked ok on me in the actual 90’s when I was 18; not so much at 40.

Went shopping with my teenaged sister last weekend and she was going starry eyed over the most peculiar things. Too short trousers with a drawstring waist which ruffle over the top and no shape so it looks like you are wearing a hessian sack. Shoes with the most peculiar shape (a sort of heel and just a meh shape to the toe - she called them "day heels") and tiny crop tops that are mostly just lace and mesh.

I think I've reached the age where I just don't like fashion. All I wanted was a nice pair of jeans that are actually, you know, shaped like a pair of jeans and a slightly fitted jumper/long sleeved top.
