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!!

Leather
Fur
Wool

Or anything else stolen from an animal (silk, cashmere, mohair, suede...) :)

Dippypippy1980 · 27/07/2019 14:31

Crocs
Animal print
Nail art or fake nails

ememem84 · 27/07/2019 14:35

Crocs
White/skin coloured leggings (why do these even exist)
Scrunchies in my hair (Except in the house. Only in the house).

BiffNChips · 27/07/2019 14:37

Any shade of cream/camel/brown leggings....People just look naked from a distance.

Anything that draws attention to my non-existent waist.

I hope all the women reading this thread while wearing potato-peeker tops and leggings and nail art have healthy self esteem!

I know I participated earlier but the more I think about it the more this thread seems designed as an acceptable way for women to make other women feel bad. Most of the things listed here are very common so it’s likely that a good percentage of readers are feeling pretty attacked right now. Not me obviously because I have impeccable taste and a bulletproof self image.

Skin coloured leggings are an abomination.

ysmaem · 27/07/2019 14:43

Hot pants
Crocks
Any item of clothing that's hot pink coloured

ememem84 · 27/07/2019 14:43

@elision I’ve had a read through and a lot of the stuff I wear is on the “wouldn’t be seen dead in it” lists Grin

Attacked is someone's person, their reputation, not their clothes, unless they have a ridiculous sense of investment in their vestments.

31RueCambon · 27/07/2019 14:43

Leggings.
I cant think of anthing worse so i will put leggings at 2 & 3

Deadringer · 27/07/2019 14:43

I like cold shoulder tops though. My shoulders are one of the few areas of my body that I don't mind showing off

Withnailandaye · 27/07/2019 14:45

Oooh I love a cold shoulder top! What's wrong with them!?

Mine would be..
Tracksuits
Trainers
Crocs

MamaLazarou · 27/07/2019 14:46

Skinny jeans/leggings/treggings/jeggings or any other form of skintight trousers
One-shoulder tops (so weird, like wearing trousers with one leg)
Tights with sandals or open-toed shoes.

ginghamtablecloths · 27/07/2019 14:46

I have more

Horizontal stripes or layers - I'm wide enough to start with
Pencil skirts

The 1950's 'New Look' silhouette - unless you're very tall and slim it simply does not flatter at all.

formerbabe · 27/07/2019 14:49

I'm not offended by anyone saying they wouldn't wear an item of clothing I like...it's just a matter of taste.

I do find it offensive when some posters say they wouldn't wear make up...not because I give a flying fuck if they do or don't but because it comes across as so smug and as if it's because they are superior to all the vacuous make up wearing women.

MamaLazarou · 27/07/2019 14:51

A woman after my own heart.

RedDogsBeg · 27/07/2019 14:54

Hells bells Deadringer, that pictureShock.

Elision · 27/07/2019 14:55

I can’t speak for everyone who doesn’t like cold shoulder tops but for me I think they come across as trying to be sexy without taking the risk of actually being sexy (body con/low cut/ short can look amazing but it takes confidence and bravery, a shoulder cut out, not so much). I also think they look cheap- not cheap as in slutty but cheap like ‘I bought this off the floor underneath the clearance rack in the back of the Peacock next to Iceland’.

Withnailandaye · 27/07/2019 14:59

Ha! I never knew! Grin

Ah well I like them so me and my sexy shoulders will keep wearing them.

Bum bag
Money belt
Bum bag

CalamityJune · 27/07/2019 15:01

Snobby thread. People should wear what makes them feel comfortable and good about themselves. It's not nice to make people feel as though others are sneering at them because they're not 'on trend'.

3luckystars · 27/07/2019 15:01

A money belt is kind of a bum bag.

So just one thing really (x 3)

Pinkbonbon · 27/07/2019 15:02

Toms (40 quid for essentially slippers).
Skirts that fall any lower than my knee (I'm short so it looks weird).
Crop tops (because no one over 21 has the body for those xD).

Lostromantic · 27/07/2019 15:06

Turtle necks
Crop tops
Crocs!

LightDrizzle · 27/07/2019 15:06

Hot pants
Velour tracksuit
Baseball cap
