Crocs of course - they truly are a crime against footwear and Radley bags (what is with that stupid dog?)

Grown women should realise neither of the above are stylish. So there

Anyone think of anymore crimes to add to the list?

laneydaye · 27/05/2007 15:55

I love them but agree some of them do look like pregnancy clothes....
Love leggings (so comfy) wear them inside with a baggy jumper and going out with stilettos and a sexy top.... Think you need to be the right shape aswell...

RosaLuxembourg · 27/05/2007 15:55

Skirts and boots with bare legs.

GrandMasterHumphreyLyttelton · 27/05/2007 15:55

I have seen an upsetting number of teenage girls in mini skirts and popsocks recently.

binker · 27/05/2007 15:55

I've seen so many women in Crocs and can't bring myself to want to wear them - ok for kids though -thought I might get some for ds for beach...I've gone off my Birkenstocks and am preferring a pair of Havaiianas
Uggs are silly and my biggest hate are those baker boy caps and trilbys and flat caps - they just look plain stupid on anyone....
