I remember that kind of thing from early 90s clubbing. Friend of mine had something similar in crochet lace. She wore a bikini underneath it. Went to foam parties in Ibiza in it, that kind of thing.

What is it? No idea! Who would wear it, possibly a very low budget drag queen?

ZazieTheCat · 12/07/2019 19:00

She was doing a degree in English lit at a Russell group University at the time. She’s a headteacher now, two kids.

Yes! It’s absolutely a 90’s clubbing outfit!! I had v similar. Not outrageous at the time at all

withlotsoflove · 12/07/2019 19:44

Well you wouldn’t wear it to the post office!
Perfect for clubbing though!

RobertSmithdoesmyhair · 12/07/2019 20:16

I wore similar stuff to go clubbing in the 90s!

SquirmOfEels · 12/07/2019 20:19

It's a Love Island party outfit.

Misguided and PrettyLittleThing both have similar (the one with neon snakeskin chaps for the lower half made me blink quite hard when I saw the Tube poster)

Spaceprincess · 12/07/2019 20:24

I'd wear it!!!....In 1993 when I was a 22 yr old 8 stone regular in the Madchester clubs...

managedmis · 12/07/2019 20:26

Wayward teen, surely?

browzingss · 12/07/2019 20:41

It’s festival/holiday wear for women my age (22). I have seen lots of outfits like that for Ibiza etc

thedevilinablackdress · 12/07/2019 21:09

All the folks at trnsmt festival in Glasgow this weekend. But in neon.

thenightsky · 12/07/2019 21:11

I remember that kind of thing from early 90s clubbing

I remember that kind of thing from late 60s discos.

FredaFox · 12/07/2019 21:13

There’s loads of stuff like that right now, if I err slim and under 25 I’d wear it

georgialondon · 12/07/2019 21:19

It's just stuff for late teens

PersilOrAriel · 12/07/2019 21:21

Very Nancy Del Ollio

onyourway · 12/07/2019 21:25

That's the kind of thing my 13 dd would want to wear to a festival, but she wouldn't be allowed to SmileSmile

QueenOfTheAndals · 12/07/2019 21:43

I see that and raise you this OP!

What is this and who would wear it?!
QueenOfTheAndals · 12/07/2019 21:44

@SquirmOfEels I've seen that poster too and thought WTF? The Kardashians have a lot to answer for!!

ferretface · 12/07/2019 22:33

@QueenOfTheAndals I actually love that 😁 totally impractical, uncomfortable and the rest of it though!

QueenOfTheAndals · 12/07/2019 22:53

@ferretface the review says the pants are tricky to understand. If your pants are so complicated that you can't figure out how to put them on then it might be time for new pants!

Ellapaella · 14/07/2019 15:09

I saw a girl in this very outfit last night in Town - was driving to the train station and she crossed the road in front of the car. I had a similar dress but in white when I was about 19 and used to go to all night parties - Helter Skelter etc! I'm not sure how I was ever brave enough to dare to wear it in public Blush
