Reading the other thread got me thinking, and I know that I will never wear:
Bleached jeans
velvet tops (looks like velour)
"embroidered" clothes, especially jeans
Puff padded jackets
Overpriced polyester lace dresses (net curtains!)

Would never wear
Cold shoulder tops
Crop tops
Fake leather bags and shoes
Brown
Crochet
Green
Bootcut
Cowboy boots
Heels over 4 inches

But funnily i love things on others lists like
Brogues
Dungarees
Pink
Tutu skirts
Scarves
Gold (but not overdone)
Statement silver jewellery
Open toe boots

Just shows how different we all are

flirtygirl · 05/08/2016 08:49

Forgot adults crocs, suede uggs and boden/fatface/joules /white stuff etc

maggiethemagpie · 06/08/2016 15:25

Stilettos, not because I don't want to but I've never felt comfortable in them.
Gypsy/Boho skirts
Not a fan of cold shoulder tops
Anything that is very noticeably 'trendy' which means it will quickly look dated
90% of M and S 's stock

DoitotmeSheldon · 06/08/2016 15:31

Crocs - just no
Cold shoulder tops - I have broad shoulders and small boobs
Crop tops - I've got surgery scars and stretch marks all over my tummy, not attractive
Bikinis - see above

GobblersKnob · 06/08/2016 15:36

Meh, there must be loads of things I thought I'd never wear but then I have so I would only call for comfort so no to

High heels (except for work)
Anything breath or food restrictingly tight (ditto)

ZansForCans · 06/08/2016 16:09

High stilettos
Loafers with little chains on them
Court shoes
Pencil skirt suit
Anything navy
Camel trenchcoat
Jeggings
Stretchy skater dress
Anything with GAP etc written across it (why, just why would you?)

specialsubject · 06/08/2016 18:27

Anything with anything written across it or on it. Especially someone else's name.

SortItAhhht · 06/08/2016 21:43

Any clumpy, chunky footwear. I've got big feet and skinny legs, so its just a straight up no to FitFlops, Crocs, Doc Martens, Rocket Dog/Fly London-type boots, Birkenstocks...so many shoes that accentuate size of feet, basically. I need slim, dainty, pointy and pretty shoes Grin

Flared or bootcut jeans. Dont suit me. Slim or skinny leg only, straight at a push. Don't care whats 'on trend' or not.

anything folksy, 'tribal', hippie-ish, 'Boho'. peasant-look, Victoriana - anything floaty or fussy. I need simple, structured clothing for my shape.

JaceLancs · 06/08/2016 22:12

Crocs
Logo or message t shirts
Flares
Synthetic knitwear
Synthetic footwear
Statement jewellery
Short shorts
Coats or jackets with a belt

AmberNectarine · 06/08/2016 23:16

Chenille
Those jumpers with a bit of fake shirt under them
Anything from Joe Browns
A grandad collar
Wide leg jeans
Flip flops (an irrational one but I just hate the things)
Real fur. I really would rather go naked
Those crinkly shirts they sell in M&S
Capped sleeves
Velour
A fleece (especially a half zip)
Rimless glasses
Button necklaces
A baker boy hat
A high waisted bikini (these look shit on anyone who isn't Taylor Swift)
Mid calf length boots
Mustard yellow
A double breasted jacket
Lambswool
White to a wedding
Pastels with black
Brights with black
Corduroy
Satin
A cowl neck (someone on here once said they look like vaginas. Cannot unsee that now).
Matching shoes and bag

AmberNectarine · 06/08/2016 23:17

Oh, oh, oh....those disc belts
Handkerchief hems
Tiered maxi skirts
A football shirt

hiccupgirl · 07/08/2016 17:32

Midi skirts - the length is just wrong on me
Ripped or bleached jeans
White trousers or jeans
Crop tops
Cropped flares - just wrong altogether
Embroided denim of any kind
Cold shoulder tops
T shirts with writing or cartoons on them

I do love a tunic with leggings and some (plain) Boden or White Stuff so I have no hope at all!

jaykay34 · 07/08/2016 17:55

Flip flops
Maxi dresses
Crop tops
Anything from Monsoon, Mantaray, Hush, Joules, Fatface
Crocs
Mid length skirts
Cold shoulder tops
High heeled open toe shoes

None of the above suit me Smile.

I tried the dungarees thing but sold them on eBay when my 12 year old daughter bought a similar pair!
embroidered denim (hate)
crop tops (only for the under 15s)
stan smiths (alas awful on me)
bleach denim (it's no longer 1983)
slogans (it's a Non from me)
leggings (unless I'm exercising)
crushed velvet (vom)
bias cut (my mother)
bright colours (make me cry)
Non leather shoes (ugly)
Basically I'll be in my usual uniform of slim jeans and a striped top!!!
