WTF is this new trend

AIBU to think the trend for Lingerie lace and silk as outer wear is really odd?
Everywhere I look there’s cheap lace appliquéd onto skirts and t shirts.

Then today I saw bra’s, as t-shirt motif’s.

AIBU to think this trend is awful.

Hideous it may be but I would prefer to see my DGD wear that than, the low cut high cut t-shirt that shows all. At least there is a bit of cover.

FlouncyAndGone · Yesterday 18:31

Its not my style, but I don't hate it!
I'd never wear it though, as there would somewhat of a gap between my spaniels ears and the pretty little lace thing under my chin(s) 🤣

I now need to know about the 90s M&S nightie and feather boa
Because I’m imagining these

idk if this one will work as it’s a sale item. But this is just a lace nightdress sold as day wear. We didn’t have so much choice a few decades ago and it was often cheaper to buy a nightdress rather than a day dress, which basically looked identical.

All the 'Look at Me's' will buy it and then complain that people are looking at them, lol.

Hadn't seen this new trend until now, and I don't like it. Looks cheap, in more ways than one.

This!

I think clothes designers are actually taking the piss out of women and it's not funny. Clothing now is so stupid and ugly. Horrible materials as well. I suppose the expensive, classic stuff will be okay, but mainstream clothing is a joke.

Do any of you remember this dress?

https://wearebeirt.com/2017/06/29/style-watch-that-voluminous-pink-ms-dress/

Fairly controversial, M&S were left with loads of stock because no one wanted it. It would have gone to landfill.

Looks like something Bubble of abfab fame would wear.

sunsu · Today 00:49

Gosh, this thread is really sad. I’d love to see what you all wear since you’re so full of judgement for others! I hate seeing women tear other women down, especially over something so superficial as fashion choices. Wear what you like and try not be so miserable!!

AlvisParsley · Today 02:08

They've been around for months. I can't stand this trend.

I couldn’t agree more!

Yess! That and see through lace tops with no bras underneath 🤢

DeftGoldHedgehog · Today 04:45

Quite easy to just not wear it yourself. Or did you come here for a good bitch about other women?

greenmacchiato · Today 05:09

I don't know anyone who wears this and I'm not even sure I saw this trend offline but I can imagine younger girls thinking its fun or edgy so they'd buy it in a second. To each their own though, we all had some questionable fashion choices

GarlicAnything · Today 05:11

In the 1970s, I wore:
A completely transparent mini smock dress;
Very short hotpants with very high platform heels;
Floaty, transparent, cheesecloth tops;
Floaty, semi-transparent maxi skirts;
Very short mini-skirts;
Extremely wide trousers;
No bra, ever.

In the 1980s:
Power suits with big shoulder pads, stilettoes;
Huge puff sleeves, often with shoulder pads;
Silk shirts as dresses, half undone;
Bright-coloured mini ra-ra skirts;
Anything made of black lace;
Chiffon shirts with black lace bra showing through;
Insane amounts of eye makeup.

In the 1990s:
Low-slung cargo pants with high-slung thongs;
Crop tops and bikini tops;
Silky slip dresses;
Extremely short denim cut-offs;
Extremely wide trousers again;
Doc Martens.

Come the 2000s, fashion's mostly recycling the looks I've worn before and the menopause is putting paid to my crop-top body. I hated skinny trousers and spent about ten years in leggings with long tops, gradually veering towards sack-shaped tube dresses in any length.

2020s:
Extremely wide trousers and clumpy shoes are back! Hurrah! I'm not letting go of these until I simply can't get any more. Wearing them with big, loose tops (fuck that 'flattering your figure shite) that often have big, puff sleeves;
Loose, transparent tops with visible bra underneath (yes, at my age);
Gigantic, long skirts.

Fashion's fun! I enjoy seeing The Young People doing new things with old ideas - and old things with new ones. I'll never comment on them the way some miserable people commented on my outfits of yore.

The bra t-shirts are hilarious 😆 I assume they're supposed to be at least 'ironic'.

Globules · Today 05:16

Those t-shirts are hilarious. Just no.

I thought this thread would be about the silky baby dolls that are now being worn with jeans, trimmed with lace and going down to the knees.

I find that a really bizarre look too.

how do you remember this?

Don't know if it's new or just come round again - I had a skirt in the 2000s that older people were always stopping me to tell me "your slip is showing" because it had a bit of silk and lace at the bottom. I also used to wear M and S nighties as club dresses, with a boa and sandals.

Its something that does seem to be cyclic. I remember in the 80s skirts having white cotton scalloped edging. Not as racy as the later look but was still meant to look like a petticoat edge.

I'm interested enough in fashion to have worked in it 🤗 Funnily enough, like most fashion personnel, my work clothes were mainly old, black & baggy. Shoes and accessories did matter, though. And hair - I had some astonishing hair in the 1980s! I mean, I did have a Farrah and a Diana, but then there was the spiky apricot pom-pom 🤔
