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.

I do hope the fashion police never catch up with me ...... hides my clothes quickly

xTillyx · 02/06/2013 18:49

Can't stop laughing at the wolf fleece. My Nana was shopping once ans saw two ladies wearing fleeces with Alsations on and siad to this man next to her ?they look a bit woof? and it turned out it was his wife and sil.

I'd never be seen dead with one of those yummy mummy bags.

Those hideous dresses that are short at the front and long at the back. Why? Just why?

Real fur.

Anything shiny.

One sleeve dresses. Again, why?

Racer back vest. Hideous.

Sling back sandals. Have always hated them.

Any kind of nightwear that has words or pictures of animals on it. Or worse still, words and a picture of a sheep/kitten/puppy etc.

Crocs. Never.

Those hideous hand made eyelash knitted scarves.

Anything with NEXT or FCUK plastered on it.

Anything by Hollister. Chav wear.

Boot cut jeans. Do not suit me.

Mohair. Itchy and scratchy!

Hipster knickers or boxers for women. Vile.

As you can tell, I'm fussy!

ithaka · 02/06/2013 19:13

I was just discussing this with my mum. We agreed those beige cut off trousers that women of a certain age seem to wear in summer (with sensible shoes) are the worst.

I also hate jumpers/cardigans with the shirt attached, they are grim.

Anything by Gok Wan in Sainsburys.

TheHerringScreams · 02/06/2013 19:31

I don't mind logos tbh. If I like the clothes without the logo, I see no harm showing I like it, even if it's like a billboard.

I admit to having a onesie, but it's fr snuggling up on the sofa in ans never for more than a few hours and not outside or as general daywear. It's purple....

70 we live on the Essex border (quite near where TOWIE etc; is filmed) and tbh, I haven't seen anyone wear nude leggings! From a distance, wouldn't you look like you were half naked?

I think I'm a fashion failure Sad Smile
