The one word in a description of clothes that puts you off buying it

[BoobsAhoy]

just read the word cropped and I thought that’s it.

Maybe second place is high-rise.

M&S acrylic knitwear is great. Doesn't look cheap and washes well.

Yes. I love their supersoft jumpers.

Really? Love the colors but I imagined they would bobble or itch.

No, they're fine. They're not warm like wool, but they aren't going to get eaten by moths or shrink in the wash. Mine are a few years old and some of them do look like wool.

thanks. Am on the Tube a lot so prefer a light layer.

God yes, both ridiculous and strangely nauseating. See also 'crisp' white shirt 🤮

No they don't. The worst jumper I had for bobbling was a Seasalt merino jumper.

I have a couple of the M an S supersoft jumpers, one of which I bought about 4 years ago. I have worn it loads and it isn't itchy or bobbly at all. They come in a wide range of colours.

Ecco

Hahaha

What's wrong with wool and cashmere?

Some people find it irritates their skin @RainyDaysareCarp. Also, cashmere has to be handwashed to stay at its best.

Pure whole...scratch beyond belief, even the softest wool. My skin hates wool.

Wool, not whole

A lot of cashmere now you can machine wash on a delicate or wool cycle. They come out as good as new - just don’t use fabrics softener

Currently mine is 'comfy'. With the exception of new shoes, I expect all clothes to be comfortable as a matter of course so, if it's the first or only thing that's to be said in favour then I'm afraid I assume it's going to look like shit.

I am now logging off S&B for a while

I tend to hear 'comfortable' in terms of shoes as meaning ugly

Sadly, I can only wear "comfortable" shoes - thank you osteoarthritis
I am always looking for the holy grail of stylish yet comfortable footwear.

I only wear comfortable shoes too, @RampantIvy , but if someone says my shoes look comfortable, I take it to mean they aren't pretty.
What brands do you find you like wearing?

Ha ha I suppose it does mean ugly, but I say THANKYOU!!

@KirstenBlest Skechers, Rieker and Pavers mostly. I also have some surprisingly comfortable ballet flats from Wynsors, and a pair of really comfy Nike trainers.
