Trend for weather/tv presenters to wear very tight clothes. Am I just old?

[ParsleyTheLioness]

Is it just me? Even on these slim women, doesn't seem to be a good luck. Tell me I am not alone in these thoughts! Please.

It does matter, because women are held to a stupid standard. Can you imagine most of the male presenters in body con clothes?! From what I can see I bet they don't feel the same pressure to stay thin. Those dresses are nasty looking and oppressive to boot. The women always look like they are holding their tummies in. Rediculous. ( Not them, the whole thing!)

Blimey Boobear7 what made you resurrect a 7 year old thread!

I didn't notice that, how strange so many look the same as 7 yrs ago 😆

I can't get worked up over this. The fashion generally is for bod con dresses. They look up to date, their figures suit it in the whole. The main thing for me is about the forecast and outlook.

Why the fuck do you all care what people are wearing?

One person' s classy is another persons tacky.

I think it's awful that you come on here bitching about someone's style.
Each to their own and all that.

This is the style and beauty board
But your comment that body con dresses are in fashion (they are the opposite of what is in fashion) does show you are not interested in style/fashion so I expect you probably need to catch up!

Ooops didn't realise this was a zombie thread!

You gave flipcharta bit of a roasting there! Were body con dresses still a thing in 2014? Possibly?😂😂

I didn't notice the date on this thread & was just about to post about how old fashioned they look trussed up in those dresses! 🤣

But they do still wear them and I have no idea why!

I noticed in the 'Finding Derek' documentary earlier in the week Kate Garraway turned up at work in a really lovely modern dress and then went out to present in one of those bodycon things! It must be like a uniform!

I’ve got no knowledge of this at all but I’m guessing that fitted/bodycon looks neater on screen than more flowing styles. I agree though that still wearing bodycon in 2021 looks really dated. I like Jane Hill and Kate Silverton’s styles - less tight fitting and in my view stylish.

I'd like to have real meteorologists presenting the weather, not so-called autocuties.

Autocuties! Blimey I've not heard that term being used probably since 2014 , which was around the time this thread began!!
I thought most of them were anyway or at least had a good working knowledge eg Environmental science degree or similar.
What difference does it make if it is not a trained meteorologist?
They are passing on the same information as Tomaz Schaffernaker!!
