'classics' you hate

[madmomma]

following on from the 'fashions you don't understand' thread, which 'must have' classic items of clothing are just a washout for you?

Mine is a trenchcoat - it looks shit on me.
Also those boucle chanel-type jackets - fuck I age 30 yrs putting one of those on.

Black trousers. I echo whoever said work experience/waitress.

I like camel and similar colours, but I'm very olive skinned with super dark hair so maybe that's why it works for me.

Camel is one of the few colours I CAN wear as a warm autumn with weird colouring!! :)

I really like shift dresses, but I'm 5'10" and a size 10 so I perhaps deludedly think they look OK on me.

I also really like wrap dresses, but I worry that they're starting to look dated. And I would have thought that anyone who can wear a wrap dress can wear a (well cut) trench, no? Same principle.

I like black trews, in certain styles.

I like the white shirt style, but my colouring doesn't really suit white.

I like camel/beige/caramel/cream, as with olive skin, dark hair and eyes, they suit me. For the same reason white doesn't!

No to animal prints (on me), BUT I don't think they count as classic, more of a trend/personal style thing.

Arf at prosthetic feet. You have to match them to your American tan tights, like Kate M.

I love a boucle jacket with boyfriend jeans - always get compliments and I love a shift dress for work, something straight up/down to skim bust, any thing too fitted makes me look a bit "obvious" due to 32e norks.

White shirt, trench and turtle neck all dire on me - due to short waist big boobs.

Shirt dresses - I can do a shirt but extend to a dress and it just looks hideous on me.
Proper classic closed toe high heels - they look good on others but I never feel old enough to wear them - I think it's a hangover from growing up with grunge.

Blazers
Loafers - make me feel sick

I look shit in a trench coat.

"Classic" trenchcoats and navy blazers
In fact anything navy, it's so "classic and will never let you down" but makes me look like I'm at school.
Pointy-toed stilletoes - cannot understand why anyone wears them, I think they look AWFUL
White shirts - "you can never have too many white shirts" - feck off!
Silky floppy blouses and pencil skirts - I feel uncomfortable just looking at someone else in them.

I like shift dresses, A-line skirts and linen trousers. I think the classic I can't do is that dressed-up/smart classic look.

Oh god yes loafers!

Blazers and chinos on men yuck! Also hate nude shoes like shop window dummy circa 1980. Really hate wrap dresses too esp teh expensive one

Camel colour anything washes me out. Wrap dress are awful on me as are rusching, flounces and draping. Jersey dress also bad on me unless its a thick well cut jersey and not rusched!

Boat shoes and loafers on men - yuck!

Ha, I love silky shirts and pencil skirts. And stilettos, though not necessarily pointy.
