I'm still seeing so many cold shoulder tops. Who is buying these monstrosoties?!

Ruffles don't seem to be going anywhere either.

That is not what i think of. Mom jeans really high waisted, loose around the bum and thighs but tapered. They do emphasise the bum imo. If you have no bum, nothing at all in the bum area they are the right jeans for you!

@CallarMorvern

And...fake jeans pockets? What is that all about?! Women's jeans pockets are pitiful compared to men's anyway, but seeing the front ones sewn up is taking the piss.
I know, only 5'1" so i will not be buying one single pair of cropped wide leg trousers. I tried every trend in my 20s. Never looked good for it.

I hate skinny jeans. My legs are huge, and I have very pronounced, bulbous calf muscles. Nothing “skinny” goes over them. Slim/straight leg might, but fit like skinny and I still have to size up to get them over my lower legs, which means really loose around the waist/hips etc. I embrace alternate jeans leg shapes!!

Shorts with barely a crotch, nobody over the age of 16 should be wearing those!

SnuggyBuggy · 28/08/2020 08:47

I just think would you really want to sit on a seat where someone's sweaty arse has been in those shorts?

Yesterdayforgotten · 28/08/2020 09:22

@SnuggyBuggy I know esp in a hot summer....🤢 I'd rather stand...

Wow. Do you guys have any idea of how you sound?

rincewindspotato · 28/08/2020 10:54

This.

YenneferOfBattenberg · 28/08/2020 13:07

Pandora - overpriced tat!

YenneferOfBattenberg · 28/08/2020 13:09

Love Mom jeans though, they are super flattering on me and so comfortable!

We sound like we're discussing jeans 🤔

I think you are the one who sounds off!

PineappleUpsideDownCake · 28/08/2020 13:58

I think parsnip legs look wrong but I guess many much younger than me will see that as normal as its what they're used to.

When I was younger boots went under jeans not over them! Now I'm old and large I can't do that anyway! So its a fashion that completely passed me by.

Second Wide trousers. They look hideous like shoulder pads.

I absolutely adore shoulder pads. This thread is hilarious. I have so many images of what everyone looks like in my head.

DisgruntledGuineaPig · 28/08/2020 15:41

Oh see I like wide trousers, but they have to be the right length, too short and you have ankle flappers, to long and you are soaking up every puddle you pass. Skinny jeans might not be forgiving of lumps and bumps, but do cope with looking good a bit short or a bit long scrunched up.

Wide trousers do also need your waist and top half clothing to be fitted. Only one bit of your body can be shapeless at one time.

Yesterdayforgotten · 28/08/2020 17:26

I actually like wide trousers and think they can make your waist look smaller.

CallarMorvern · 28/08/2020 17:28

I love Pandora. Not so much the charms (I prefer Trollbeads), but I love their silver rings, not sure what is tat about them. Designer diamonds aren't in my budget.

This is my issue too. I have lipodema - I'm currently a couple of pounds overweight but usually well within healthy BMI, but all my weight is on my legs and my calves are huge so anything very slim cut is just not happening. I've been wearing slim/straight rather than skinny jeans for a while but it is difficult to get them without them being baggy around the waist and hips. I see lots and lots of women of a similar shape and wonder if manufacturers are missing a trick.

My pet hate at the moment is kitten heels. They're just ugly, especially on boots, and they make your feet look massive.

GuyFawkesDay · 28/08/2020 18:15

Pandora is massively overpriced for what it is. That's my major objection to it more than style.

The cropped ones always remind me of the story about the Dutch boy who stuck his finger in a dike.

CallarMorvern · 28/08/2020 23:34

Not sure about the waist. But I like the wide leg floaty type trouser and have a couple of pairs. When I mentioned not liking them, I was thinking of the cropped type.

Immigrantsong · 28/08/2020 23:38

Here's mine:
The overdone make up look, think Instagram glam
Fake eyelashes, don't look good on anyone and destroy your lashes
Fake long nails, horribly unhygienic
Fillers everywhere, why?
Eyebrows drawn as if by toddlers
Leggings that are see through, no I don't want to see your underwear
Polyester clothing, it should all be burned.

SaltyAndFresh · 28/08/2020 23:41

I popped in to say skinny jeans, but obvs that's been done to death. I always feel like two overstuffed sausages in them because they're too tight. If I size up I'm constantly yanking at them.
