Emperors New Clothes or what? Who the hell would wear this?

Mooching around the sale at net a porter I came across this.

Is this a joke? Who the hell would wear this? And bear in mind it's not even for people with pierced noses!

I couldn't stop laughing at it.

These are definitely a thing at the minute!

I can see it being useful for weight loss.

I appreciate the 'smooth rounded edges give a comfortable fit', though. A thoughtful extra detail.

LOL @ Britabroad
Myself I enjoyed the "slips on" part of the description.

Idrinkandiknowstuff · 02/02/2017 16:37

WTF! How are you supposed to eat or drink with that monstrosity dangling off your hooter.

....but you couldn't speak while wearing it

HoHumming · 03/02/2017 00:42

I have that and really like it!!! I wear mine as part of an evening look. It is actually quite lightweight. You can easily sort of make it swing over a little while taking a sip from your glass. I find it really versatile.

I jest.

I think it could be useful if you are very young and want to look kind of punky in a way that doesn't leave holes or tattoos that you might later regret.

DressageNut · 03/02/2017 10:01

Nice, if you want to channel your inner bull?

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 03/02/2017 14:37

Ah, scroll down to the 'How to wear it' suggestions and those suede crystal sandles with one dental floss like strip across your toes and one round your heel.
I'd look a picture falling right on my arse in those shoes and the nose ring.

I've no idea how that made its way into the sale, you'd have thought they would have been flying out the door.

Whoo I bloody love it, want one now.

Fuzzypeggy · 03/02/2017 16:46

That is weird and ugly and weird again. And I normally like unusual things but this is several steps too far imo!
