Mine are stripes and Longchamp le Plaige bags.

I too have a penchant for stripes and Longchamps!

Also blue jeans and white trainers.

Converse in the summer.

Black tops for nights out.

SquashPenguin · 26/02/2023 18:17

polkadotpixie · 26/02/2023 18:22

Stripes, polka dot and leopard print...I miss being Emo in the early 2000s 🤣

LunaTheCat · 26/02/2023 18:23

Dresses, fairisle cardigans, cashmere cardio and jerseys, Vejas in winter, birkies in summer.
tights are the devils work so longish dresses and chunky socks.Just brought a pair Doc Martin Made in England shoes but I have a bunion so will need stretching!

Crunch!

The closer a fabric gets to straw, the happier I am. Tweed, Shetland wool, rough natural coloured linen. I remember trying on a Phoebe Philo era Celine frock that looked knitted from hay making detritus - so stiff it could have stood up by itself. I still long for that thing.

And raggedy, unfinished, pseudo-couture edges. Have to be careful not to wear two such pieces together - it confuses people in genteel places.

SocksAndTheCity · 26/02/2023 18:24

Black

Cashmere

Leopard print

Burberry

Hats with everything 😊

GulfCoastBeachGirl · 26/02/2023 18:28

Halter Style dresses. They suit my figure and show off my best features (toned arms and shoulders) while disguising my thighs (which depressingly resemble a turkey drumstick).

EllaPaella · 26/02/2023 18:33

Ah yes hats have become my new obsession of late!

Lola001 · 27/02/2023 07:33

Handbags just love them

Obstackle · 27/02/2023 07:38

Ambiguous colours.

Hand knitted socks.

Menswear.

LolaSmiles · 27/02/2023 07:39

Sandals
Boots and chunky wool socks in winter
Mixing textures and fibres rather than lots of different colours.

ChatSamosa · 27/02/2023 07:39

Superga footwear, winter coats, good fitting running leggings (I don't run anymore but I wear them for dog walking, diy, being in the house)

StephenDedalus · 27/02/2023 07:41

I love velvet, corduroy, wool, tweed, cashmere. Tailoring. Brogues, Chelsea boots, vaguely 70s style boots. Really well fitting tuxedo trousers suit .
I'm feminine but love a slight 1930s nod to androgynous dressing.

BestIsWest · 27/02/2023 07:44

Metallic shoes.
Shirt dresses with a long A line skirt.

overthinkersanonnymus · 27/02/2023 07:48

Black everything

Wide leg trousers

Patient boots

Red lipstick

dudsville · 27/02/2023 07:48

I'm overly fond of plaids and checks, and of corduroy and dark blue denim. Everything is 100% cotton or wool or a mix of the two.

PrincessHoneysuckle · 27/02/2023 07:54

Gold jewellery and bright colours suit me best.Im olive skinned with dark hair and dark eyes.

Same! Sometimes I look in the mirror and realise that, one way or another, I’ve just recreated the glam rock style of early 1970’s Top of the Pops.

Bigpinktrain · 27/02/2023 08:22

Baggy sportswear and ultra feminine dresses. I’m one of extremes

Waxlyrically · 27/02/2023 08:26

Teal - I can’t resist it. Also love a tutu like skirt with a mohair top - it’s the 80’s in me!

Zipps · 27/02/2023 08:52

Jackets and boots especially biker ones in a variety of colours and materials
Anything else with a nod to biker stuff - Belstaff is my favourite but the odd chain, skull, stud, metal etc embellishments. Not over done though.
Cashmere jumpers in neutrals

anon2022anon · 27/02/2023 09:03

Stripes, spots and rainbow colours. How I dress my toddler is how I would really dress if I didn't care at all how I looked like. Bold prints and primary colours.

I do wear a lot of spots and stripes anyway, and bright colours, but I don't quite go as far as I do for the little one!

SickofThisandThat · 27/02/2023 09:05

Pachamama jumpers cardigans gloves and bobble hats.

I have loved crocs classic ever since they first came out. I know they get a lot of hate but if I won the lottery I would get them in every single colour there is!
