The shorts are hideous and the top 😯

It is absolutely ghastly. I loathe the side and underboob showoffy thing. Whyyyyyy

You're quite correct there. No-one is.

But the OP has invited us to give our (lighthearted) opinions on this most interesting garment choice.

I would suggest that anyone who doesn't have an opinion on this item is very strange indeed -maybe even a Vulcan like Mr Spock?

I wasn't thinking of selling it.

If you never wore ridiculous clothes as a youngster, more fool you. It was great fun at the time and it's even more fun to look back on.

Moreorlessmentallystable · 02/03/2024 15:12

Completely pointless more than ugly

Great fun to look back on? It's just a stupidly designed top from PLT out whatever other garbage at fashion brand. Its not some amazing memory being created, probably more cringe than anything. At least of it's stopped as it is in the picture😩

obsessedwithfreshbread · 02/03/2024 15:49

It's just badly styled, my teen has one and wears it with a regular vest top and cargos and looks really cool.
Plus if stuffy old people don't like it she'd be quite pleased!

BruceAndNosh · 02/03/2024 15:50

At First glance, it looks like she was wearing a long sleeved very cropped t shirt and the fabric couldn't contain THE BOOBS and split open

Haven’t read the whole thread but it reminds me of Father Ted, when Dougal’s tank top unravelled from the bottom up:

“TED, MY TANK TOP HAS TURNED INTO SOME SORT OF WOMAN'S BRA!”

Neuronamechange · 02/03/2024 16:35

I quite like it! I’ve been looking for something similar to wear when out in my wheelchair, or even sitting in bed. Long jumpers can be too bulky and are hard to pull down comfortably.

DontWasteMyTime · 02/03/2024 16:39

It's hideous, and impractical as well.

SometimesIchangemyname · 02/03/2024 17:21

My DD has one of these. In a sort of black crochet. It’s fine. She has worn it with a vest top and flared jeans and big clunky shoes. It’s just a layer to add interest to an outfit.

CandidaAlbicans2 · 02/03/2024 19:18

Do the shorts come with a free tube of Canesten I wonder? 🤔😉

Yes. I wore way worse stuff than this back in the day. All part of the fun. If it made my mother's generation handwring and despair, all the better. You need to wear stupid stuff while you're still young, that's the time to do it. Now's the time to be joyless and disapproving about it, but I'm really not finding that as much fun.

Butchyrestingface · 02/03/2024 19:30

The lilac one is not AS bad because the model has a smaller chest. The stone one is frightening.

TheShellBeach · 01/03/2024 18:38

Agree it's hideous

martinirossi · 02/03/2024 20:33

I hate the shorts but the top half is fine. I like the way shrugs elongate your torso. It's an updated look on the 90s trend of blazers and a bra top and while I'm too old for it myself (I'd wear the shrug with a vest top) I think it's perfectly fine on those who want to show off their stomachs. Obviously not work appropriate but a twenty-something going out dancing with friends? No issues whatsoever.

scorpiogirly · 02/03/2024 20:34

It's awful!

Cuckoochanel80 · 02/03/2024 20:45

Horrible

ZebraPensAreLife · 02/03/2024 20:52

I think it’s fine - wouldn’t style it like that personally (would have worn something like that over a vest top in my going out days), but I’ve seen (and worn!) far worse back in the day.

phoenixrosehere · 02/03/2024 20:54

The top piece that it is actually referring to is fine imo and could easily be worn with a satin maxi dress or maxi dress of the same material.

The stylist went the wrong way with it is all.
