What's the one thing you wouldn't be caught dead in?

I'm not sure I'd there's one thing I actually hate to wear. Probably an over the top hat. Or a SnapBack.

I wouldn't like to be caught dead whilst not wearing knickers though. That would be embarrassing, even if I was dead.

Bodycon dresses, they just look appalling on me

I would be mortified if i was caught without underwear.

themonsteratemyspacebar · 02/06/2013 16:47

Another vote for crocs

daisydoodoo · 02/06/2013 16:47

Quite a lot of things but the main thing I hate is anything with a huge logo over it, so jack will, hollister, abercrombie or super dry in the main. Even my gym wear I don't like covered in logos a small tick or tiny embroidered logo is fine though.

EarlyInTheMorning · 02/06/2013 16:48

No make up
swimming costume
shorts
'fun' pattern stuff from Boden

Earlybird · 02/06/2013 16:48

What is a Snapback?

jellybeans · 02/06/2013 16:49

Agree with the Superdry etc logos. Ugh.

Megsdaughter · 02/06/2013 16:50

Anything with Animal Print, sorry but far too Bet Lynch for me.

Another vote against Uggs and obvious logos. I have never worn a scrunchie in my life and never will.
What's a "snap back"?

Skinheadmermaid · 02/06/2013 17:03

Ugg boots. They look like novelty chicken feet.
Plain black cheap leggings especially when worn as trousers so you can read the slogan on my knickers and count my cellulite dimples.
Those drapey waterfall cardigans without buttons

ExscooseMeMrOfficer · 02/06/2013 17:05

Crocs!

jalopy · 02/06/2013 17:07

Gladiator sandals
Tattoo
Maxi dress (any type reminds me of Margo Leadbetter)
Boob tubes
Doc Martens - any type

BalloonSlayer · 02/06/2013 17:10

God yes animal print.

I am of that age where animal print = woman of a certain type

(DD loves it and I am always trying to put her off.)

Also tattoos

I am of that age where tattoos = rough as a badger's arse

trinity0097 · 02/06/2013 17:10

A bikini, my curves need to be contained for the sake of everyone else! Who needs a tanned tummy anyway?!? I don't own any outfits that would expose my torso!

Polyester trousers, as seen in Peoples Friend!

TheHerringScreams · 02/06/2013 17:15

DD2 likes them. Hence how I know about them. Kind of like caps.

I don't mind Crocs, I admit they have a time and a place though.

I'll be caught dead in tattoos (I have one on my hip). I like it though.

miffybun73 · 02/06/2013 17:16

Crocs
Ugg Boots
Tattoos
High Heels with platform sole

ThinkAboutItTomorrow · 02/06/2013 17:18

Shell suit - saw one the other day and had a flood of nostalgia for when they were the height of fashion. I don't care how retro ironic the trend is I just wouldn't.
