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!!

Skinny Jeans - I just look weird in them
Bodycon dress - shows all my mumps and bumps
Heels - I can't walk in them, I am 5ft 8 so look weirdly tall in them.

I see alot of people saying crocs. I love my crocs.

PoppingOneOutIn2020 · 27/07/2019 07:42

Everything that's in fashion at the moment.

Crop tops
Cut out
Hot pants
Bandeau
Cycle shorts
Dresses with padded for your boobs built in
Clothes with absolutely no stretch at all.

I'm 23, size 10/12 sort of maybe. My wait is too small for size 12 trousers and Jean's, but size 10 wont get over my thighs.

My top half could be a 10 but I'm a 34G on the boobs so nothing bloody fits. All of my clothes look I'll fitting because nothing is made to fit me. Now all that the shops sell
Is everything that is impossible for me to wear.

Ugh, anyone got a spare few grand for a reduction? Boobs suck.

Cropped trousers(=cropped legs)
A bikini
Anything deemed suitable for a wedding.

HeronLanyon · 27/07/2019 07:52

Striped short clingy wide legged half mast trousers.
I confess I saw someone wearing them yesterday and they really were so awful and so unfortunate in lots of ways I had moment of inner clothes judgment (unlike me I think).

Anything at all with cute animal/saying/frippery/trim/flounce/cut out/lace/complicated strap business/cute buttons! Feel better for saying all of that.

pinkmagic1 · 27/07/2019 07:56

Hot pants
White socks, especially with sandals
One of them short tops where they cover the top half of your boobs but expose the bottom half. Reverse cleavage?

danmthatonestakentryanotheer · 27/07/2019 08:03

Ripped jeans...I just have an itch to get the needle and thread out when DD turns up wearing hers
open toe footwear of all types...seriously, even I don't want to see my toes let alone inflict the horror on anybody else
Anything pink..I haven't worn that colour since I was old enough to dress myself.

Coolcoolcoolcoolcool · 27/07/2019 08:07
  1. A fleece
  2. Outdoorsy trousers with many pockets for your compass etc
  3. Kayne west's awful trainers not just because I can't afford them
malificent7 · 27/07/2019 08:09

I wear loads of these...apart from cold shoulder tops and crocs. Clearly i am gross!

Lamentations · 27/07/2019 08:18

Those jumpers that have the bottom of a shirt sewn inside. What is that about?

YY cold shoulders but I think that trend is over now.

Supermarket clothes generally. Happy to buy for the kids but I feel that if I go there it's a sign I've given up completely.

HeronLanyon · 27/07/2019 08:18

I have to confess, as someone who spends quite a bit of time in very remote gale lashed area, I have a collection of fleeces and even fleece gillets. Not unheard of for me to have layered fleece going on. Luckily pretty much everyone who sees this look, looks roughly the same. Those who don’t often look cold and miserable !

Lovestonap · 27/07/2019 08:23

Polo necks - turn my upper body into one large shelf
Cold shoulder tops - I don't like my shoulders to be cold.
Yellow - makes me look, well, yellow.

inthekitchensink · 27/07/2019 08:24

Anything strapless
Drop waisted clothes
Pleats

(Am big of shoulder & hips & nork)

Unburnished · 27/07/2019 08:32

Those massive thick white trainers (ridiculous)
Black floral anything (looks so cheap)
Torn jeans (too try-hard)
Dresses that look like grandma’s nighty

ginghamtablecloths · 27/07/2019 08:32

I can think of quite a few and at my age I've committed several fashion faux pas.

Dungarees or things with 'bibs'
Cropped tops, trousers or anything cropped.

Gipsy tops/skirts

SinkGirl · 27/07/2019 08:34

I’m doing well on this thread except for two things:

  • harem pants (I have a pair I wear as pyjamas and they are the comfiest ever)
  • fit flops - what’s wrong with them? Sure some of them are ugly, but I have a simple black pair that look quite nice, make me taller without heels and I can walk in all day. They also last ages. It’s not like they’re crocs!
PooWillyBumBum · 27/07/2019 08:38

Leggings
Acrylic nails with French tips 🤢
Peroxide blonde hair

Whoopstheregomyinsides · 27/07/2019 08:44

Furry sliders unless as indoor slippers
Crop top- huge tummy
My pyjamas- if the being seen bit is important. Comfy but not a good look

Aprillygirl · 27/07/2019 08:54

A bikini (not bikini bod ready sadly, and probably never will be again).

Polo necks (makes me feel constricted and I prefer to look like I have a neck)

Stinky, sticky, hairspray the work of the devil Envy not envy.

StillCoughingandLaughing · 27/07/2019 09:05

Beige - makes me look washed out.

Hoodies - if you’re not a sulky 17 year-old with hair covering one eye, you should have grown out of them.

Bomber jackets - I actually really like them, but have finally accepted that, at 5ft 11, they make me look like a teenager who’s had a growth spurt and whose mum won’t buy her a new coat.

Short dresses with long sleeves - Hard to pull off for anyone, but again it’s the height thing for me - I look like I’m wearing a tunic top and have forgotten to put my trousers on.

Cropped leggings - They don’t look great on anyone, but I used to live in a London satellite town where a host of women with legs like oak trees would appear in them at any given opportunity, usually with a muffin top spilling over them.

Lweji · 27/07/2019 09:05

There's no such thing as a bikini body. Just bodies.
Men wear shorts and don't care about their bellies or whatever.

ravenshope · 27/07/2019 09:06

fur.

What's wrong with the Doreen bra?!!

  1. anything trendy
  2. anything trendy
  3. ballet pumps/flats

At the ripe old age of 30 I have recently discovered heels, particularly high heels and I dread days when I have to wear flat shoes now. I've been tormented by chronic back ache for seven years until I discovered that heels help so much with the pain (I'm assuming it's down to posture/nerve ends) and provided that I buy good quality heelss that fit properly my feet certainly don't hurt after an 8 hour shift and I'm a lardy big foot in a size 9.
