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!!

Clumpy trainers
Fluffy sliders
Fake eyelashes
Jelly shoes
Crop tops
Bralets
Cold shoulder tops
Anything trendy-I’m 41 have had 6 kids-and I have my own style which suits me-I hate trends it just seems that people follow them with no thought to if they suit or not

Birkenstocks, corduroy or camouflage

recklessruby · 27/07/2019 01:09

@redhats no you dont need to limit to 3.Smile. I would add so many more. Leather look leggings for one and plastic raincoats .

Anything coloured camel / taupe / beige - those colours make me look like death warmed up

High heels - they just hurt so enough is enough

Raglan sleeves - look awful, I have sloping and rounded shoulders, I don't want them to look even worse

Lweji · 27/07/2019 01:10

Animal print.
Too much see through
A badly fitting bra these days

echt · 27/07/2019 01:10

Uggs out of doors (though wearing them to pick up the newspaper the nature strip is permissible)
Cold shoulder tops
Trainers when not actually engaged in a sporting activity.

recklessruby · 27/07/2019 01:14

@Louloubelle78 ugh polo necks. I still have a memory of my mother trying to force me to wear a purple one in the mid 70s. The itchShock. The panic when it got stuck over my head ...

Animal print
Any clothing with sparkly crap on it
Novelty t-shirts or jumpers. Like the type that tend to be seen for about 5 days at Christmas, also anything with a joke on it, the various designs like this, this or this.

Also, cold-shoulder tops, & unnecessary frills added to sleeves or hemlines. Yuck, frumpy. At least, on me. I know that's more than 3... but I'm picky! TBH I agree with at least half of the answers previously given...

Nextphonewontbesamsung · 27/07/2019 01:24

Fur, crocs, maxi dress.

recklessruby · 27/07/2019 01:26

Oh God and t shirts with "babe" or "hot momma" etc on them. Just no.

Ooh, we can have more? Nice one!

Wolf fleece
Anything with Disney characters printed on it
Chunky gold sovereign rings and rag doll pendants
Manchester United shirt
A t-shirt featuring a band who I would fail the three song rule on.

Casiloco · 27/07/2019 01:31

Leather trousers - awful
Anything lime green - I look like one of the Addams family in that colour
Black slug eyebrows

recklessruby · 27/07/2019 01:37

I would never choose to wear fur. My black leggings are frequently decorated with it courtesy of my Ellie cat though...
And yes those big wooly fleeces off the market which have wolves/bears/animal paw prints on and are usually 10 sizes too big should be outlawed!

And skinny joggers

A balaclava.
A rain mate.
Tights.

TwistyTop · 27/07/2019 01:48

Animal print anything. I know times have changed so much, and I have some really classy fashionable friends who now wear this, but to me it will always be associated with prostitution.

GibbonLover · 27/07/2019 01:49

I always associate animal print with Kat Slater and Bet Lynch!

DramaAlpaca · 27/07/2019 01:52

Let me see:
That Zara dress that everyone's wearing
Leopard print
Dungarees
Fur
Cold shoulder tops
Anything with sparkles or diamante
Anything with a designer logo
Anything with a cutesy print
Anything orange, yellow or brown
Uncomfortable underwear
High heels - don't need them at 5'10
Sportswear unless playing said sport unlikely
Flashy jewellery
Fake eyelashes or lots of makeup
I could go on...

White trousers, especially jeans. Very few people can pull them off and almost all of those people would look fucking amazing in something else.

MrsMiggins37 · 27/07/2019 01:57

Fluffy sliders
A bikini
A bum bag
A football strip

jmh740 · 27/07/2019 02:00

What's the 3 song rule?

Crocs
Leather trousers
A thong
Converse (I really want to but I can't find a comfy pair)
Pinafore dress

WalkingInTheAir13 · 27/07/2019 02:02

Tattoos
Tattoos
Or a tattoo

NeckPainChairSearch · 27/07/2019 02:13

Potato/cold shoulder top
Anything with cut out sections/weird strappy bits holding cut-out sections together
Crop top

I'm also not very fond of anything orange. Or patterned. Grin

GibbonLover · 27/07/2019 02:14

What's the 3 song rule?

If you are wearing a t-shirt with a singer or band on it, you should be able to name at least three of their songs. I think I first heard about it when Topshop were selling Motorhead shirts
