Never have I ever worn....

a pair of leggings
Just not my thing. They're popular, just never owned a pair (and I've had kids!)
Anything that you've never worn that most people seem to?

A bikini!
Even years ago when I was a size 12 I thought I was too big to wear one. Used to stick to either tankinis or one pieces.

Belts.

Kottbullar · 17/06/2021 06:17

A blazer. Not for the want of trying, they seem useful but every single one makes me look like Uncle Fester Hmm

In the 1990s I accidentally bought thongs in a pack. Opened them up and thought "shit!".
Not like you can get a refund on knickers!

Trainers with a skirt. As a shortarse I wouldn't feel right. But maybe that's all about to change, as I've just acquired my first pair of flatforms with all of 2 inches extra height.

MrsBunHat · 17/06/2021 10:13

"Classic" thing like a camel trenchcoat, skirt suit, "crisp white shirt" etc.
Stilettos - I'd immediately fall over
Converse make my feet look like very large canoes
(However I disagree with a PP, birkenstocks flatter my giant feet for some reason)
Denim/leather jacket - just feel weird and self-conscious, despite the fact that I'll happily wear a bright floral dress)
Definitely false eyelashes - it's never even occurred to me to try! To me they're in the same category as contact lenses - just don't want to have to fiddle about with my eyes, ugh.
Wedding dress! But I actuall love wedding dresses, just never fancied the wedding :o

High waisted leg wear. Anything with sticky out peplum bits. Baby doll tops.

Well, only for as long as it takes to try them on, look in the mirror and take them off.

StarlightLady · 17/06/2021 10:23

Never worn white or beige underwear (except as a child); l like to live my life in colour.

TheChild · 17/06/2021 10:25

Cold shoulder top. I think they are hideous!

Sliders. Hate them.
Those massive trainers like balenciagas. Look absurd

Confusedandshaken · 17/06/2021 12:09

Looking at all these I can also add crocs and ponchos to my never worn list.

StiffyByng · 17/06/2021 14:22

I'm not remotely a follower of fashion so I would have assumed I'd be able to tick loads of things as not worn but somehow I seem to have embraced elements of loads of stuff. Of all the things listed, the only ones I'm sure I can say I've never worn are peplums (would look just extraordinarily awful on me), leather trousers (not sure it's physically possible) and stilettos as I have fallen arches and my feet just won't go into that shape. Otherwise I seem to have given most things a go, wisely or not.
