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!!

According to this thread, I'm your worst nightmare Grin

I would never wear:

Animal print
Cold shoulder top
Hanky hem

I have 3 pairs of crocs (2x flip flops, one pair of sliders), 2 x pairs of dungarees and roughly 100 x cropped wide leg trousers.

I am also about to buy a pair of white, chunky trainers. I love how I look and feel very confident in my clothes, so that's all that matters really.

Kitten heals
Pleated skirts
Dungarees

Sigh81 · 27/07/2019 11:57

Each to their own, but for me:

Crocs
Culottes
Socks-with-sandals (or any open toe shoes)

Rivkka · 27/07/2019 12:00

Shorts because I've never ever seen them look good or flattering on anyone

A mum tunic

Crocs

EnthusiasmIsDisturbed · 27/07/2019 12:05

Birkenstocks
Nude high heels
Kitten heels
Ugg boots
Culottes - many appear to be a really nice skirt and then on closer inspection I realize they are not

Lots of other things more to do with my shape than disliking them

PaperFlowers4 · 27/07/2019 12:05

Waterfall cardigan
Fake nails
Ripped jeans

SignedUpJust4This · 27/07/2019 12:06

Crocs
Uggs
Come to bed eyes

formerbabe · 27/07/2019 12:13

I dont get the hate towards animal print. I think a lot of people still see it as a bit 1980s barmaid...but I think it can actually look quite chic if worn right.

Redcrayons · 27/07/2019 12:14

Never wear:
stripper heels, I'm tall so don't need the height and they make my old lady knees hurt
Cold shoulder tops: I just don't think they look good and why do I want cold shoulders?
Wide leg trousers, don't suit me at all. Although I'm open to changing my mind on these when I'm older and more appreciative of comfy trousers.

Not seen dead in: my crocs, strictly for the garden.

NameChangeNugget · 27/07/2019 12:16

White Jeans
Crocs
Big underwear

BillywigSting · 27/07/2019 12:17

Fake tan

Furry sliders

Anything white that goes on legs (jeans/leggings/tights/socks)

NigellasGuest · 27/07/2019 12:17

A fleece
Crocs
Those 1950s "wiggle dresses" that look like fancy dress, with head scarf turbany thingy, like that woman on Escape to the Chateau is fond of.

KurriKurri · 27/07/2019 12:18

I could make a huge list from previous posts of things I happily wear Grin

I would never wear
Fur
A wedding dress
High heels

When I was young I used to wear dungarees a lot - I fear at 60 my dungaree wearing days are over - I'd look like Geoffrey from Rainbow and also dungarees are non compatible with a weak bladder.

NuttyOrNice · 27/07/2019 12:18

Heels of any type.

Makeup
Expensive branded ‘designer’ gear. It’s so naff.

theWarOnPeace · 27/07/2019 12:21

Those big granny glasses that everyone seems to love at the moment.

Dyed grey hair. Why?

Anything in that layered peasant style.

So basically anything that puts me into the ‘old lady’ category, I’m only in that category for music/films/forgetfulness!

InsertFunnyUsername · 27/07/2019 12:22

Crocs, kitten heels, nude tights, jesus sandals, shawls, maxi dresses (too short - oompa loompa vibes)

But dont listen to me, I got told i am too old for animal print (26!!!) now i feel like kat slater when i wear it Sad
