My I nominated fecking rainbows. Jaunty children’s TV presenter territory.

Trainers with everything. Trainers with hearts and sparkles. As above.

Retina searing brights. You’ll be bored with them in a fortnight unless Christina Hamilton is your go to look.

What I don't understand about cold shoulder tops is would you name the top after its most annoying feature? It's like having 'wedgie knickers' or 'baggy knee jeans'.

Yesterday I saw someone wearing one of those (awful) plastic chokers that were popular in the late 90s / early 00s but she had a beige one instead of black. At first glance it looked like she had a really gory scar around her neck.

All of these except puffer jackets, I can live with looking like the Michelin man because I am so warm on the school run, and beetle brows, I can only be bothered to tidy them.

Mustard. I love mustard but unfortunately mustard doesn't feel the same way about me. I look like a corpse in mustard. A corpse who hasn't been well.

For the love of God, can any kind of feature sleeve just fuck off? This is Britain, it's cold 90% of the time. I need to wear a cardigan or coat over my blouse almost all of the time and the stupid fussy sleeves don't fit.
It's ridiculous.
I just want clothes that are practical to do my (normal, office) job in. Nothing exposed, trailing, billowing, ruched, ripped or fluted. Is it really that hard?!

The sleeves thing doesn’t bother me so much as I don’t like long sleeves! Always wear short sleeves. They do look ridiculously stupid though.

How can you hate trainers - I love trainers. I also love pink and red together and would strongly suspect anyone who dislikes it of having zero taste. Culottes are great too but granted.... cold shoulder tops awful mostly.

Unicorns on baby clothes - my DD is too small to care but I don't understand the unicorn thing and I'm not keen

Breton tops. They are so dull and unflattering. Choker tops
Cold shoulder tops.

I saw a yoof yesterday who was wearing his trousers halfway down to his knees with his pants showing. I thought that was a fashion that was long dead?

Always have an urge to tell them to get themselves a belt.

Things that are too wide and too short, as though they have accidentally been made in landscape when they are supposed to be portrait. This applies particularly to trousers and jumpers right now.

Cannot stand Breton tops either. Hate cold shoulder tops. Hideous and just why? Flare crops. White trainers of any kind. Hate them.

neveradullmoment99 · 04/02/2018 23:12

I hate any type of choker top/dress either. Or a dress with a v-back and a hideous piece of material going straight across joining the two shoulders. No idea what they are called.

toffee1000 · 05/02/2018 00:48

There are so many styles of Breton top though. I think it’s actially more a Breton stripe rather than a specific top. You can get crew neck ones, boat neck ones, t shirts, long sleeves...

😂BestZebbe: landscape/portrait - brilliant description!
