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!!

I wear quite a lot of wacky stuff, including a pair of rainbow dungarees that I adore.

Things that I would not wear -
Ugg boots, I just find them hideous
Dolly style pumps - I'm not a fan
Stiletto heels - too uncomfortable although I can wear high chunky heels.

Mine are all shoes!

Strapless dress with normal bra.
One of those hats with a fur bobble.
Not sure about a third.

  1. Agree with the poster that said anything from Toast. Shapeless, drab and sad looking.
  2. Literally any shoes recommended on the S&B boards
  3. Anything with a high neck which gives me a mono-bosom

Fake tan can look absolutely amazing, it makes me look way healthier and people never know it’s fake tan cos it looks so natural. Orange looks way OTT but a natural glow makes people look much healthier

I hate animal prints and tracksuits so those would have to be on my list.

I also look like a potato in rompers (they might be called playsuits here??) so none of those either.

I mainly wear classic shapes in colors and fun prints. If I find a dress I love I often buy it in muliple colors.

LaVieilleHarpie · 27/07/2019 12:47

Also, 50s housewife/rockabilly style anything. Looks silly, like a costume rather than an outfit. Genuinely yet to see anyone who'd look good in that sort of stuff.

DeReynolds · 27/07/2019 12:53

Kitten heels
Pointy shoes
Cold shoulder tops
Any clothing that is brown
Dress with leggings underneath
Anything Michael Kors
Ugg boots
Anything flowery patterned
Boot cut Jean's / trousers
Boots under Jean's / trousers. Especially pointy boots!
That hideous squirrel suit thing popular on MN.

No matter how old I get I refuse to choose comfort over style. (Cutting my nose off to spite my face of course).

SweetPetrichor · 27/07/2019 12:59

Fake tan
Makeup
Bodysuits
Skirts shorter than knee length (big thighs...)
Shorts (see above)
Anything boring from the high street...I like interesting, unusual looking things.
Uggs
Crocs
High heels
Leggings without a tunic/dress/top that covers the bum.

I'm not a fashionable individual though...I like to look weird and different in my free time, and I love Joules/Cath Kidston for work. I'm 50% aging weirdo and 50% country bumpkin.

Somersetlady · 27/07/2019 13:03

Anything Polyester or Viscose as they make me sweat and don't wash well.
Tatoo
Body piercings

LadyRannaldini · 27/07/2019 13:03

I went over to the garage to get something, decided to jump in the car to run down to Tesco, only realised that I had my garden crocs on when I got there, v. embarrassing!

formerbabe · 27/07/2019 13:10

People who say that would never wear make up...why is that?

Elision · 27/07/2019 13:20

Tights when it’s not winter (don’t care how cold it is, just looks sad)

Michael Kors/ Kate Spade/Tory Burch and any other try-hard overpriced ‘designer’ bags. If you can’t afford a really good bag then a fun cheap high-street bag or an unknown independent designer is 100 times less

Potato-peeker (cold shoulder) tops and anything else with oddly shaped flesh windows. Not sexy, not cool- like tights in July, just sad.

Elision · 27/07/2019 13:21

*100 times less cringey, don’t know why mumsnet ate my word!

EleanorOalike · 27/07/2019 13:21

Checked Shirts
Birkenstocks
Polo Shirts
Ugg Boots
Those ugly big buttoned Blouses/Skirts/Dresses that are currently fashionable - they look so tacky and cheap.
Long Cardigans, especially tribal/Aztec print ones.
Those big ear hole piercings
Tattoos
Ripped Jeans
The kind of cheap, tacky bodycon dresses sold on Boohoo and the like that leave very little to the imagination.
Brogues
Hideous pointy or extra long fake nails - the “coffin” and “stiletto” shaped ones - why?! Also any 3D nail charms.
Side shaves/undercut type haircuts
Blue/Green/Non Natural coloured hair.

tierraJ · 27/07/2019 13:22

Cold shoulder tops, fake tan, flares

AnastasiaVonBeaverhausen · 27/07/2019 13:23

Ugg boots
Tracksuit bottoms
Hair extensions

Deadringer · 27/07/2019 13:25

Bikini, belly top, and culottes. The first too I would relent on if I ever got my figure back, but culottes, never!

RedDogsBeg · 27/07/2019 13:44

Crocs
Saltwater Sandals
Those three quarter/cropped trousers whether tight or loose fitting - most people wearing them shouldn't.

Alpacathebag · 27/07/2019 13:47

Animal prints
Leather

RedDogsBeg · 27/07/2019 13:50

ShirlyPhallus Literally any shoes recommended on the S&B boards

I agree with you 100%, there is nothing remotely stylish or beautiful about the shoes they recommend on there, it's frump central.

geekone · 27/07/2019 14:07

Fleecy Jogging Bottoms, shapeless hot and no use for actual jogging, only used for sitting in to watch telly. (I have never even been able to buy them for DS)

Sandals because I hate my feet so I live in trainers.

crop top I envy those with the youth to do this but it’s not for me anymore.

ShirleyPhallus · 27/07/2019 14:09

@RedDogsBeg frump central - this 100%! Grin

Ivegotthree · 27/07/2019 14:09

Crop top
Crocs
Tattoos

Ivegotthree · 27/07/2019 14:09

Shockers · 27/07/2019 14:16

Fur
False nails
Those fleeces with a wolf in a mountain scene on them Grin.
