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!!

So many -
Bikini
Leggings
Thong
Cold shoulder tops
Boob tube
Cropped flared trousers
High heels
Tattoos
False eyelashes
Hair extensions
T shirts with slogans.
Mini skirt
Of course if I were tall and slim it might be different...

I flippin love leopard print. It can look v smart if worn well.

No no’s for me:

Kitten heels
Peplum tops
Big prints
Fascinators
Asymmetric hem tops - impossible to layer
Linen trousers
Most of White Company, Fatface and Boden (although I recently got a couple of lovely elegant jumpsuits from the latter)
Pretty much anything from Zara, PLT, Misguided, Boohoo, Topshop - all too young or of nasty quality!

VirginiaWolfHall · 27/07/2019 18:17

And anything that would be at home on Love Island (including overdone lip fillers, scary eyebrows and nasty tats)

Zenithbear · 27/07/2019 18:26

Loads but most hated are:
Sportswear unless for sport
Linen trousers
Crocs

mathanxiety · 27/07/2019 18:36

Polo shirts (i.e. T-shirts with a collar and button tab)
Jerkin/tabard/gillet/sleeveless jacket.
Kitten heels even though they tend to be under 2 inches in the heel.
Pointy toed shoes.

MetalMidget · 27/07/2019 18:52

Ugg boots
White trousers
Tops that don't have waists
Animal print
High heels
Peep toe shoes
Pointy toed shoes

BasilTheGreat · 27/07/2019 19:00

Leggings with a top that ends above the bum. A dress would be fine but not a top.

CitadelsofScience · 27/07/2019 19:00

Actually I've thought of a whole person ho wears just about everything I wouldn't wear, Agatha Raisin Grin

Blueandredandblue · 27/07/2019 19:02

Crop tops
Gingham, apart from shirts
Ballet flats

LivingDeadGirlUK · 27/07/2019 19:04

Anything midi length
false eye lashes
belly tops

thecatsabsentcojones · 27/07/2019 19:05

Oh dear, I'm wearing an animal print T shirt underneath a pair of landgirl type flared corduroy dungarees. You would all clearly hate what I'm wearing!

As for me, anything body con, stilletto heels, slogan T shirts with stuff like 'babe' daubed on in diamanté. Anything too girlie.

Kenworthington · 27/07/2019 19:15

I. LOVE my crocs . I sometimes even wear them OUT. With socks!

I’d also love a wolf or bear fleece

I would Never wear:
High heels
One of those body con going out style dresses
Thong

TinyMystery · 27/07/2019 19:22

Short denim shorts - I love my legs but I hate how they all bunch up in my crotch and I end up with thigh rubbage. They also inevitably sit on my c-section scar.

Cold shoulder or one shoulder tops - just feel wrong.

White or cream suede anything - it would be stained in seconds.

Pointy shoes - I have feet like spades and also just don’t like them.

Anything overtly ‘designer’ - give me a regatta fleece and some dungarees any day 😂

Double0FeckingBollocks · 27/07/2019 19:29

Not me @thecatsabsentcojones . That sounds like a great outfit.

lentilsaregreat · 27/07/2019 19:46

false eyelashes
trainers
animal print

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.

I almost had to get the smelling salts out when I saw the price of these. Shock

fancynancyclancy · 27/07/2019 20:34

Yeah they are not cheap although Shopbop is an expensive place to buy them. I just got a new pair in the Net a Porter sale for £90. Yep, expensive but they are so comfortable & I love them. I still have ones that are 5 yrs + old.

Double0FeckingBollocks · 27/07/2019 20:48

They look pretty dumpy to me fancynancyclancy. Especially for 90 quid. But then this thread, if nothing else, just goes to show we are all different.

fancynancyclancy · 27/07/2019 20:53

I personally don’t think they are as unlike Saltwaters the ankle strap is in a more flattering place.
However I think it’s great people like different things, wouldn’t it be boring if we all liked the same thing. And good taste can’t exist without bad taste 😜

What 3 things would you not be seen dead wearing?

Double0FeckingBollocks · 27/07/2019 20:56

Exactly so fancy. I know poor taste when I see it. 😜

Shockers · 27/07/2019 21:04

They don’t look very comfortable- but I’m coming at it from the perspective of someone with crap feet.

Jellykat · 27/07/2019 21:07
