Things I can't wear

[stingypeasant]

I was reading a post and someone mentioned clogs. I remembered how I can't understand how anyone wears clogs. I find the wooden rigid sole impossible to walk in.

I also can't wear sling backs. They pop off every step I take.

Obviously things like thin strappy tops with big boobs are tricky but what 'normal' things that you see other people wearing can you not wear?

Thank you, yes I’ve always felt more comfortable in a bikini! It’s just finding on with decent support up top.. and not a halter neck! Dressing is a minefield 🤣

Any dress that has a long gathered skirt. As I am top heavy in boobs and a fat tummy they make me look absolutely huge.

I find skirts that sit on the waist quite difficult. They seem to accentuate my little mummy tummy (and it is little - I'm 5'7 and a size 10, so I'm pretty slim) and make me look like Rose West dressed for court.

Skirts that sit a little bit below the waist are fine!

Kitten heels (all that weight on a small heel!)
High heels
Anything Viscose/Lyocell or whatever. Both make me sweat like a PIG.
High necks (feel strangulated and too hot.
Shorts. Too fat with swollen knees
Mini skirts
Prefer stretchy trousers - I mean with elastine or somethiing. Otherwise my knees complain!

I also loathe paisley

Underwired bras, stiletto heels, round neck t shirts (but scoop neck is ok), polo/roll neck jumpers.

Thong/string underwear. Just no.

Flip flops. I can't even wear them around the house and I see women doing quite lengthy school runs in them. Some people even claim to wear them for comfort

Wrap tops - there is always one wayward tit.

Any sort of slider style shoe. My feet are so narrow they just slip off. I’d end up with sore toes trying to hang on to them.

Mohair. It gets up my nose,,literally.

Anything that goes between my toes. I can’t even take a step in them, I find them incredibly uncomfortable just standing on the spot. It is such a pain as we do beach and pool holidays with the DC and flip flops are just perfect for that. I end up wearing crocs and really don’t suit the crocs look!

Skinny jeans. I have fat legs, always have, can't get them on, look ridiculous.

Any trouser type clothing that is 7/8 or 3/4 length, always looks like I'm in the wrong size.

I exclusively wear barefoot shoes, so the soles are designed to be as minimal as possible so they don’t interfere with the natural movement of your bones/muscles and give you some of the sensory feedback you’d get from being barefoot. I don’t understand how anyone walks in thick soles or platforms!

I can’t wear wool, sequins, or metallic/glittery threads without wanting to scratch my skin off.

I’m beginning to realise why women wear Damart elasticated trousers and Hotter shoes…

Hate jeans. They look horrible on pears and cut your circulation off.

Most shoes give me grief. I go round feeling every centimetre of a shoe in a shop looking for rough or hard bits. Toe posts - who can tolerate these? High heels - my back! Ballet flats - ouch! In fact any shoes sans socks or a nice 100-denier pair of tights are problematic.

I can’t wear dungarees or jumpsuits, I’m a flat chested rectangle shape , and they make me look like im about to slap some undercoat on the wall .

Balconette style bras. I have narrow shoulders and the straps slip down my arms.
Dungarees. I look like Mr Tumble's nan.
Jumpsuits. I look like a gas engineer.
Ballet pumps. Just too flat for my high arches.
Anything with a toe post. Just ouch.
High heels. Sets off my plantar fasciitis.
Anything that bares my midriff (or should that be max- riff?). I like a warm tummy and kidneys.
Thongs. Cheese wire for the arse.

Dresses. I just look awful. In them all. I’d love a summer dress but they just don’t work.

Any shoe without a good amount of flex in the sole. Rules out cork, platform etc. I always try and bend the sole before trying on any shoe.

I can't wear shoes except sandals without socks (I will get stinky feet😷).

I also can't wear completely flat shoes too much or very high shoes. Needs to be somewhere in the middle.

I also can't wear knit dresses as I overheat in them

Heels
Yellow

High heels - I broke my mole when I was 12, and it's never been strong enough.

Delicate footwear - size 9 feet. Even if I can get shoes to fit, they look ridiculous.

Skinny jeans/trousers - massive calf muscles, skinny bottoms just get stuck.

Low waisted anything.I have a very long back, the distance from my crotch to waist is really long,

Cropped anything - again, long back. Cropped jumpers are like a wooly bra on me.

Flip flops/thong sandals, too uncomfortable between the toes, hard to keep on

Jumpsuits/dungarees etc - long back

Hats. Any hats (apart from one time I wore a slouchy beanie hat and looked vaguely ok), how do you cope with such a sweaty head?

Wide legged trousers. I am just the wrong shape for them. They are always weirdly tight at the top and flappy at the bottom and too long. Yes, I am a short arse!
