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?

I can't bear anything with buttons up the front, like shirts and blouses. I feel like I'm wearing a straitjacket, even if they're not tight. I don't mind cardigans, but they are stretchy and also I can leave them open if I want.

I hate belts. Not only do they make a feature of my huge middle, they never stay where they should (probably because of said huge middle😂) I also hate them on jeans or trousers due to faff of opening and closing for purposes of toilet use.

Jeans - They are so uncomfortable. Someone on here once called them 'hard pants' which is so true.

Underwire bras - I generally wear a Molke or a normal none underwire bra if I want a bit more shape

Shoes - I really struggle with most shoes. I currently wear a walking sandal every day, unless it's raining and I wear wellies. I dread the cold season where I have to enclose my feet.

Anything with a fixed waistband

Skirts - I prefer dresses so there is no waistband

Socks - Hate all socks

Sleeveless - I prefer to cover my fat arms

Can't/won't wear anything tucked in. Same for close fitting dresses/tops/jeans etc. I am not overweight but not toned and trim either, and I feel like a trussed up chicken with the bad bits emphasised. I like to hide behind looser fitting stuff. Elastic waist trousers like some palazzos and some chinos are a godsend to me. Comfort is everything. If I feel comfortable I look it.

Fitted long sleeved shirts , ugh.

I’m sorry, you broke your what?!

Converse. It's not so much the thin soles; it's how hard and thin they are so you get no support at all whilst also not letting your feet bend normally. Give me support or barefoot soles, not flappy feet.

Converse. I need a thicker, more flexible sole.
Most loafers. I have slim heels and they are like flip flops on me.
Low cut tops. Unlike most mumsnetters I am not ample of chest.
Low rise jeans. So uncomfortable, and I am always hitching them up. Being a pear shape they cut in at the widest part of me.
Heels of any kind - thank you osteoarthritis.
Beige
Sludgy colours
Neon colours

High heels
Completely flat shoes
Toe posts
High necks
Anything with an irritating label in the back of the neck (cut them all out)
Wool next to my skin
Non-stretchy waistbands
Anything cream, orange, yellow, tomato red
Jumpsuits

Anything waisted- eg dresses with a belt, tops tucked in etc. I am extremely short waisted with long legs and look like a fat milkmaid in anything with a waist and about two stone heavier. Longer length everything for me!
Also can't wear heels or narrow shoes . Feet are too wide and hurt too much to wear heels.

This was me until I discovered Hush Agnes Jeans

Converse
Flip flops
Any shoe that needs "breaking in"
Pure wool next to my skin (itches)
Puff sleeves (I have wide shoulders)
Anything that shows bra straps

If you would like to ones with lyocell are softer and cooler

Converse, any shoe without arch support for any length of time

High heels or stilettos. Medium chunky is ok.

Anything tight around my neck, I think I must have been strangled in a previous life.

The many many things I can’t wear now are to do with being fat (also see fat and short) but the above has always been true.

I am on a never ending mission most summers to find a hat that suits me.

Thongs. I could never go for a thong.

@LeefPeeper - sorry, I broke my ankle!!!
No idea where that autocorrect came from!

Yes! Yuk. Can’t have that post between my toes. Feels awful

Pleats
Denim shorts
Gym wear

Boxy tops. I am petite and these just do nothing for me and don’t do anything to accentuate by small waist.

These from Hush. I love them and it took ages to track them down when I bought mine last year, but they fall off my feet, it's apparently impossible to keep them on even if I tighten the buckles and I can't walk more than a few steps before having to stop and shove my feet back in them. They really need to go on Vinted.

I look SO FAT in shorts

And I mean ENORMOUS

I think it's because they show where your legs start (at the crotch) so if you are heavy and short of leg the shorts just highlight it. Sometimes a shortish skirt is more flattering as you can create the illusion of longer legs

I hate anything shirred, it irritates me.
Polyester makes me feel I'm in a sauna.
High neck anything due to ample buxom.

Too many things these days. Small bust, big hips, protruding tummy, thick wrists and ankles, fussy feet and big head.

My wardrobe is very limited, put it that way.

Toe post sandals hurt like hell. How anyone ever wears them is beyond me. I'm jealous of you Haviana wearing cool people.

Anything that comes near my throat. Even a round neck t-shirt makes me feel strangled.

Waisted dresses. I'm tall so most dresses have waists that sit under my boobs.
