Serious?

Why can I only find clothes that look like this right now?

Shorts?
Crop tops?

How long is this going to go on for?

I am in agreement. This is neither stylish nor beauteous but it's what we're faced with in every shop.

Tis pitiful.

this is EXACTLY what I wore in the 80s and I have the photos to prove it. I had the perfect size 8, tall lanky figure, but in the photos where I'm wearing these garbs you would never know it....

I'm only 29 and already seeing fashions come round again...makes me feel old, fat and frumpy Sad

Not that I can imagine looking good in that particular outfit, no matter what my size!

Can I just say that here, in America, we are not wearing those things. Which must be why they are making y'all buy them, because we flatly refused.

I wore stuff like that in the 90's, I was also skinny as anything, and looked anything but! They are ridiculously unflattering!

Shock

Even the model looks terrible and strangely out of proportion. Horrible.

Going into my favourite shop, spotting a lovely top from a distance, pulling it off the rail.... then the utter disappointment when I discover it's a fucking crop top. Or running over to the perfect skirt only to find it's a pair of shorts.

It's tiresome.

LOL

I agree, but you are going to the wrong shops sista!

Can I again say how amazing COS are? Flattering, quite funky (always get complimented)- if I get stuff from M&S its always a bit biddy but I LOVE COS!!!!!
