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!!

  1. Anything featured in this thread. They're absolutely hideous, like boringly-coloured clown gear http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/styleandd_beauty/3641657-Those-flappy-linen-wide-leg-jumpsuits-that-are-everywhere

Donald Trump wig

Proper knickers

Fur
Bikini bottoms that look like your bottom is eating them
Culottes

kalinkafoxtrot45 · 27/07/2019 15:22

Booty shorts
Cropped tops
Bikinis
Thong underwear
T-shirts with amusing slogans on Angry

Kitten heels - what's the point, just wear flats
Cold shoulder tops
Bubble hem tops

I'm going to cheat, and also say - Sliders. Especially fluffy ones . And 1950's/Rockabilly because no, you don't look like Marilyn.

Contrary to other posts, I fucking LOVE my Saltwaters. No blisters, even after walking for miles in them, don't flap off my feet when I drive in them, and are so perpetually uncool/not fashionable that they won't ever look like I'm behind any sort of "trend" when I wear them.

mrspotatohed · 27/07/2019 15:35

Kitten heels
Flesh coloured tights
Tweed

Elision · 27/07/2019 15:36

I don’t get the Saltwater sandal hate. They’re simple, tidy looking, suitable for warm weather and being outdoors without looking like tactical assault footwear- I can only imagine it’s some kind of reverse classism since they’re not super-cheap and they tend to be worn by the kind of women who have good educations and buy organic vegetables.

SabineUndine · 27/07/2019 15:37

White stilettoes
A 'playsuit' or jumpsuit
A denim jacket

SabineUndine · 27/07/2019 15:39

Can I swap the denim jacket for Capri pants please?

fancynancyclancy · 27/07/2019 15:41

I don’t get the Saltwater sandal hate I don’t hate them but would never wear them, never considered the associated economic status just think they are a bit dumpy. I wear K Jacques or Ancient Greek sandals.

LazyLemur · 27/07/2019 15:43

Lilac, purple, baby blue - not for my yellow skintone.
Eye makeup/mascara/liner - brings me out in a rash.
Heels.
Hair dye.
Anything inspired by the 50's (is usually in cheap manky material and too short)
Anything in the thread wombleish posted. WTF.

Crocs, Boden, any form of smart trouser (jeans, jeggings and yoga pants are ok).

Mind you I used to say I would never wear UGGs and have lost count of how many pairs I own now.

And I can remember being about 13 and passionately declaring that I didn’t care how fashionable they became I would never, ever wear straight leg jeans, flares were the only acceptable leg shape for denim.

BettyJune07 · 27/07/2019 15:52

I hope your hair is okay today, try a darker toner. Dont put brown on top else it will go green, you need to do red, then brown over the top to colour correct!

Love this thread mine are;

Cycling shorts with a massive top, pulled up socks and ridiculously large trainers (who brought this back in fashion it's like looking at childhood photos for me. I'm 25)

Those horrible thong bikini bottoms that make your legs and hips look like a wisdom tooth.

Crocs and socks.

Silver eyeshadow.

Sallycinammonbangsthedruminthe · 27/07/2019 16:07

crocs,
ugg boots
and stupid mermaid colours in my hair

AfterSchoolWorry · 27/07/2019 16:10

A Breton top
Chinos
Loafers

Double0FeckingBollocks · 27/07/2019 16:12

Absolutely anything deemed suitable for a wedding. This is unfortunate as I have several to go to. Every single floral dress I have ever seen adds 50 years to the wearer. Every single one.

NoddyHoldersSideburns · 27/07/2019 16:16

Make up.
False eyelashes.
Nail polish.

pastaparadise · 27/07/2019 16:26

knee high gladiator sandals, esp black ones
open toe boots - what's the point?
pointy shoes - give me intrusive thoughts of kicking people

recklessruby · 27/07/2019 17:09

Today my hair seems to be fixed. Went for a slightly darker blonde and added lilac highlights. Its still a bit wet but i can see no sign of alien lightbulb head 😂

dress

CitadelsofScience · 27/07/2019 17:37

Anything Bardot top/off the should, rugby player shoulders here.

Anything with frills, make me look fussy and try hard.

Skirts, no discernible waist so I just look like a sack of spuds.

And I don't think it's a snobbish thread, people are saying what they personally wouldn't wear in the main.

I do have garden crocs, I'll admit to that and they also get worn on trips to the tip.
