Your view of fashion faux pas...For example, i would never.....

[TheGoddessBlossom]

....ever:

wear open toed shoes with tights

wear navy blue with black

Wear a denim jacket with jeans, even if the denims were different colours

show my midriff (am 36 - too old for such things) - apart from in bikini on hols

go bare legged to the office

How the feck are you supposed to wash that?

You move to the modern age where nearly everything can be thrown in at 40degrees. :o

(hate hate hate fake two-layered tops too - I want to be able to take the top layer off)

What are mum jeans? I've heard of boyfriend ones...

mum jeans

dexter73 - have just clicked you link for Mum jeans.

I now feel quite violent and murderous.

I have been following this thread to see how many of my wardrobe items appear on here (there are quite a lot!!!!! ) but I would rather eat my own ear-wax than wear Mum Jeans. Dear God in heaven.

As I suspected. High waisted (but not in a cool 70s retro way), elasticated waist and tapered leg.... Yum!

• Open toe shoes with nude tights
• Ballet pumps with socks
• Crocs
• Clarks shoes
• Linen trousers
• Cropped wide leg trousers
• VPL, especially if prone to wedgies
• Tunic style tops with wide leg trousers - makes you look twice the size you are
• Obvious hair extensions
• Too thick foundation
• Spider leg mascara
• Excessive gold jewellery
• Stripey looking highlights

Ugh mum jeans are awful!

Don't get why people think strapless dresses are a no no

I wear:

Skinny jeans (please let me, I am a size 8)

Fake Uggs (round the house as slippers in winter - they are warm)

Mock Crocs (round the house/garden in warm weather and on holiday - they are comfortable)

Strapless dresses/tops (I am a small, toned person with no tramp-stamps and a natural tan)

I never wear tights but then I never wear dresses/skirts to work

I have gone bare-legged to weddings, funerals and christenings though (natural tan on very toned legs)

Please forgive me for my style-sins.

I'm wondering what shoes are acceptable when all these are banned:
cowboy boots
ugg boots
Clarks shoes
brogues
crocs
gladiator sandals
flip flops
pointy toe shoes
ballet pumps
trainers
high heels
court shoes
loafers with buckles
chunky heeled black boots

That is quite an extensive list of shoes that you can't wear!

Beige / 'Nude'

And jackets with shoulder pads and short sleeve like Sue Ellen

Dexter, it pretty much just leaves wellies.
but not those childish ones with patterns on...

I don't wear anything on my feet which isn't made by Dr. Martens (have poorly feet and worry about what they'll be like when I'm older).

Won't show my upper arms because they are freaking awful!

Won't wear a thong (sooooo uncomfortable).

Gold jewellery (round this area it's the mark of chavdom).

Sportswear (unless I'm doing sports - which I never do).

The leggings and short tight t-shirt thing (sooo not a good look and it's often th larger ladies who do it).

Have a tattoo on my boob.

Wear those sheepskin boots which collapse so you're walking on the sides of your feet (it looks awful and must be sooooo damaging).

Wear tights as trousers (I've seen it several times - I kid you not). Looks awful and pants are on show. Mad. Think people hear that leggings should be worn as tights and are somewhat confused. Who knows?

Wear mens clothes (although wear my blokes sweatshirts in the house if it's cold and we're snuggling up to watch a film or something).

I hate 'invisible' bras.....they're not invisible!

But what's wrong with fat face?

Don't generally feel happy with shoes and bag matched. Don't do same colour tights and shoes generally either. I know the theory about making your legs look long, but my legs are long anyway.

Moongirl I saw tights as leggings on Saturday. These people do not own a full length mirror

In Manchester I cannot tell you the number of students I saw, wearing short tops, walking around in leggings that were so cheap and thin (Primani probably) that they may as well have been tights, with light coloured big pants underneath, often with half of them gathered up into their bumcrack - these were usually girls who sadly didn't have the figure to get away with it...

I am also of the school "wear leggings as tights" i.e. wear something that is dress length with them! Oh, and also do a quick 360 look at yourself in a FULL LENGTH mirror before leaving the house!

I agree InAState I'm sick of seeing that. It's bloody awful. If you must wear leggings with no skirt or short dress over the top then at least decent thick ones. We don't want to see your camel hoof or the bumpy outline of your cellulite thanks very much.

I would never wear clarks shoes. I know they ahve remarkedted them selves but thay are not cool for high school kids let alone grown women.

I would also never wear anything from Per Una

Leggings with no skirt over just looks half-dressed. Leggings that are going a bit thin so you can see the wearer's knickers is vomitous.
Jeggings - just vile
Faux distressed jeans full of holes, or covered in zippers or ESPECIALLY glittery butterfly/flower/PRINCESS designs and the like. Invariably make the wearer look like a lapdancer on her day off.
Stripper shoes. No-one can walk elegantly in stripper shoes
Minidresses, especially accessorised with cold weather and bare corned-beef legs
I don't like yellow gold, but that's because I have English rose colouring (mousy hair, pale skin with a pink tone) and it makes me look sallow. My engagement ring is rose cold (clever DP ). I think yellow gold looks OK if you have more Mediterranean colouring though.
Anything 'girlie' in an infantile way, eg wearing top-to-toe pink, T-shirts that say 'PRINCESS' or hair accessories with flowers/butterflies/other sparkly crap. You're a grown woman, act your age.
Skinny jeans with muffin top

I've got one of those 'horrible mum rings' sorry but it means a lot to me and I don't care [sticks tongue out]

Personally i say bollocks to most of these and like greygirl i agree some people look great whatever they wear. A friend of mine who is 24, a size 12 to 14 and tall, wore cropped jeans yesterday white top and a fitted dark denim jacket with gladiator sandels. She looked gorgeous.

Only thing i do agree with is the leggings and waist length top, not a good look at all, nothing wrong with leggings though if worn right.

16 and 14 year old white gold engagement and wedding rings here!

A no from me
Leggings, Jeggings or any other Egging they're going to invent.
Jeans for anything other than housework/gardening (I hate wearing trousers)
Gold/yellow jewellery.
Tacky designer stuff; like the LV bags covered in Logos, Burberry patterned stuff; just awful!
Gladiator sandles, crocs, uggs, peep toes (like them, just not comfortable), ballerina shoes, trainers (unless I'm running), flip flops.
Strapless anything, one shoulder anythings.
Waterfull jackets/coats/cardis/tops.
Anything poorly cut.
Sportswear as casual wear (I wear sportswear...when I'm doing sports! Shock horror)!

Yes! Yes! Yes!
Vintage everything; brouges, victorian style 'granny boots'.
Sports team tops (only when at a match)!
