ROom 101 for shite, lingering fashion trends

Had enough of seeing something repeated ad nauseam?

Want to offload when having tried to find good quality, stylish clothes you are instead met with a sea of shit? Epically garish, cheaply manufactured (without the corresponding price tag) and downright tired apply here.

I may be alone in having this need, but may I start by offering..... the rainbow jumper. How to take a perfectly useable piece of cloth and curse it to landfill in nanoseconds.....

Boden- never knowingly without a hideous clash and Noddy from Toytown influence.

In you go for your heinous crimes against style....

The last one manages dire slogan with rainbow trend. Now there’s a bonus......

I also hate cold shoulders! I have the bosoms but not the broad arms needed

SleepingInYourFlowerbed · 13/09/2018 14:34

I have a yellow raincoat. It's not that yellow raincoat but I fear I have fallen into room 101 with the frills and cold shoulders...

I think I may run out of image allowance soon so will hand over the torch of textile terrors to anyone else thus compelled. 😁

Meanwhile, crank open that door we have a wide load coming in.....
Animal jumpers/tops/blouses etc..... last seen on children as a gift shop souvenir of old , they have steadily crept into adult women’s closets. By stealth.

Cast them out into the wilderness.

No pic but those acrylic striped bodysuits worn by the young this summer. Do they come with a tube of canesten?

PaulHollywoodsleftbollockhair · 13/09/2018 14:47

My last offerings of the day are a rose gold/gold metallic shoe in a loafer shape. Beloved of Jackie from Friday Night Dinner- their time is done. They never were and still are not a good look.

Finally, the Fozzy Bear coats. Made from material last seen adorning the seats of Ford Cortinas up and down the land in the days before air conditioning. I swear it has been repurposed.

Every time we watch Suits DH who NEVER notices fashion and I have at least one moment of WTF are they wearing. This especially applies to Donna, even though I think Sarah Rafferty is brilliant.

All of these will set you back £££££

‘Bridal party’ slogan pjs are a thing, too 🙈

Momzilla82 · 13/09/2018 15:58

I saw someone yesterday wearing - with no hint of irony- a sort of shiny boiler suit of the sort All saints might have worn in the nineties old gimmer

ImperfectTents · 13/09/2018 16:01

Gladiator sandals hung around forever, I despised them

Inability to pull trousers up over yr a**e and flashing yr undies

StorminaBcup · 13/09/2018 16:37

Can I also offer up mullet-hems and fashionistas trying to pair kitten heels with sportswear / casual. Both current season high-street brands. Just stop it.

ever more ripped jeans soon they will be shorts with side seams and a hem,

VanGoghsDog · 13/09/2018 16:41

I loathe those hems that are lower at the back than the front. Not quite so bad on tops you probably tuck in, as it will help keep them in....but on dresses, skirts, jumpes etc - just no!

Trousers with a strip down the side look mad unless your the Little Drummer Boy anyway. I accidentally bought some Boden jeans with a gold stripe down the side, I couldn't send them back quick enough!

TheChampagneGalop · 13/09/2018 16:43

The currently shapeless elderly lady fashion in colours such as mustard.
Well, I am saving a lot of money this season as well.

MonkeysMummy17 · 13/09/2018 16:48

teacup you reminded me of these.. Every time I see someone wearing them everyday through the summer I thought they had hankies or something tucked into their shorts

MonkeysMummy17 · 13/09/2018 16:50

paulhollywood vangogh I know. Maternity clothes shopping is hideous, apparently the world needs to know you are growing a human in ever-increasingly twee slogans 🙄

AlwaysPottering · 13/09/2018 16:52

Tops with slogans that say ‘raising my tribe’ or ‘mum of boys’
