Crap fashion...... Stuff you will be swerving this year

[CreviceImp]

For me it's those fecking awful leather culottes.

Just shudder-inducingly awful.

I like the blanket scarves. Just don't like the wrap thingies.

Remus do you really like those boots? See, I can see in September I will probably say why did I not buy those boots. Fickle fashion eh?

I do. They remind me of Whistles boots - I have these and they are beautiful.

Bloody hell. I've got a blanket wrap thing too. Although it is plain black, no fringing. Not a picnic blanket.
I finally get small enough to wear something other than leggings & tunics and I'm suddenly deeply unfashionable!!

Wooley hats with great big fur pom-poms.

They look twatty, especially if you leave it on in a restaurant

I have a pompom hat although it is only for outdoors. I may look a twat, but I am a warm-eared twat.

I am rocking the pompom hat and tartan blanket scarf. How uncool am I?? No culottes though

On the average person all cropped flares are going to look ridiculous.
They even look ridiculous o the models, so there is no hope for anybody, whether slim or fat, short or tall, young or old, looking good in them.

Stay. Away. From. The. Cropped. Flares. For the love of God.

Those whistle boots are indeed beautiful. Something about the &mother stories boots caught my attention. But I am scarred by mum-boot-syndrome and hesitated so as to avoid catching said syndrome.

Have a pompom hat. Love it.

And despite the above instruction, and in defiance of MN S&B, I'm ready to jump on the cropped flares bandwagon.

I draw the line at knitted leggings/bottoms. Don't give me that they're so comfy bullshit, they're awful

I was reading Elle magazine yesterday and apparently big brand logos are back.

'It's the normcore backlash, a postmodern take on brand ownership. As in: we're not slaves to the brand, we're just wearing these iconic, graphically pleasing logos with a huge dollop of irony.'

Errr you can't count me out of that trend thanks Elle!

I'm too old to be ironic. I'd just look sad.

Cropped flares are some kind of joke, surely. Even the models look shite in them

I must be a walking crime against fashion then as I love blanket wraps (no fringe or tartan though), have a bobble hat for outside only and love a flowy maxi dress in the summer

I'm old and I've got my eye on either some crop wide legs or crop flares. I've been wearing the same kind of stuff for a couple of years now and I'm looking forward to trying out some new shapes. Any new shape looks bonkers the first few times we see it.

The only things I'm saying no to are roll necks, blankety things (too wet where I live) and leather anywhere near my crotch.

I like roll necks - have been wearing them since I was about 15 and have no plans to stop any time soon!

I'm short so wide legged anything is a no no but those leather monstrosities are the worst thing I've seen in a long time. Ugly wooly tabard things shall also be avoided. Gross

I hate those tops with cut away/bare shoulders - ridiculous looking & chilly, it is a big 'no' from me.

Also 'no' to cropped flares - I am only 5'1", I don't want my wee leggies to look any stumpier, thanks.

Agree re those cold shoulder tops - and they are invariably in garish colours and cheap polyester too. Not nice.

Lace up tops! I've seen a few girls/ younger women with them on for going out. Absolutely horrible!

I read in Glamour (at the hairdresser) that overlong structured sleeves are back. Not round here, they're not.
Also, pinafores came and went quickly - I don't want to match my 5 year old, thanks.

I've been coveting the sleeveless tabard thingey though. I can't do winter coats at the moment (hot flushes) so I reckon the tabard would be like wearing a non clingey wool sandwich board

But maybe I should think on....................I have a cape though ......[ha!]

amusing article esp the comments 😄

I could make a long list.

I'll just stick with beards on most men, and yes the blanket wraps (often worn by women who should just wear more substantial clothing).

I have a blanket wrap. Only for wrapping up on the couch, though.

Funny article Crevice! She kinda doesn't like those button skirts

Those bloody horse blankets look terrible. When masquerading as scarves, I mean.

Also, I read somewhere that everybody will be wearing smart dungarees to work come spring. Not me. The last time I wore dungarees (green velour) I was nine.

Thank fuck for this thread. Thought it was just me.
