Aibu to ask what 3 things you would never ever wear (not necessarily together).
Mine are a bikini (too much like underwear in public and have wobbly cellulite)
High heels (i want to be able to walk when i m out not flouder around like a drunk ostrich)
And this horrible horrible hair colour i have accidentally dyed my hair (it was light brown fairish and is now freakishly white blonde).
Please distract me from crying about my hair horror until the shops open and i can sort it out!!

Three-quarter-length trousers, cold-shoulder tops, fake tan..

Mammalian · 27/07/2019 00:21

Cycling shorts
Hot pants
Belly tops
But apparently all 3 are in fashion now! Thankfully with much younger people

Sycamoretrees · 27/07/2019 00:22

White socks! Hang over from school days when it was a cardinal sin.

silvercuckoo · 27/07/2019 00:23

Leopard or zebra print.

No you should do the bikini. Swimsuits or tankinis highlight the fact you have zilch self confidence. No swimsuit hides fat thighs. Put on a string bikini, go brown and frolic.

I won’t wear - make up, eyelashes or extensions. I am not a drag artist.
Fluffy sliders ..yuck.
A dress with buttons down the front....who the fuck bought them back.

IdblowJonSnow · 27/07/2019 00:29

Hot pants
Mini skirt
Anything exposing belly.
Not in a judgy way, just wouldn't pull it off!

OhTheRoses · 27/07/2019 00:30

A tracksuit
Cold shoulder tops
Denim or bomber jacket

GrapefruitIsGross · 27/07/2019 00:30

Irregular Choice shoes
“Mom” jeans
Those wee 90’s style sunglasses with the really small dark lenses

Actually, just anything that’s come back into fashion from the 1990s

MrsEricBana · 27/07/2019 00:30

Bikini
Ballgown
Anything not black

Sashkin · 27/07/2019 00:33

Crop tops, cold shoulder tops, mini skirts/bodycon dresses.

I’m 40 though. I’d probably have worn them when I was 17, and that’s the target market.

Adult clothes I would never wear: those wide-legged three quarter length culottes. So ugly. Floaty maxi dresses (I’m short and large chested, they make me look pregnant). Tunics (frumpy as fuck).

recklessruby · 27/07/2019 00:35

Weirdly i have quite thin legs but they are riddled with cellulite and white as snow Grin.
As pp said doreen bras! Forgot all about them. Always advertised on the back of my mum s People s Friend.

lastqueenofscotland · 27/07/2019 00:38

Those big horrible trainers that are fashionable at the moment.
Birkenstocks
Flares

GibbonLover · 27/07/2019 00:39

@recklessruby please be careful with your hair! Of course, people will advise you to see a hairdresser but if you haven't got the money, you haven't got the money. Maybe get some advice from the S&B board before you go ahead, I'd hate for you to end up with a khaki nightmare! Apologies if that sounds patronising btw.

Anyway, back to your original question:

  1. Most of the things from Toast. Shapeless, sludge-coloured and unflattering. Even the models on the website look awful.
  2. Those awful open-toe boots with toe posts. Just why?
  3. Furry sliders.

quitefrankly I had no idea the Doreen was still in production! A quick Google reveals Miss Mary of Sweden still make the 'Pantee Corselet' too!
