I've never had a blazer. (Since school anyway)
I've tried them on from time to time and they're just not me.

Boob tube. I have no boobs Sad

SocksAndTheCity · 12/08/2023 14:22

Me neither; I cannot imagine ever wanting to wear what used to be called a jacket with anything other than a suit, and I never need to wear a suit.

I have also never worn a jumpsuit or wince a 'playsuit'. My wardrobe has had no shortage of horrors and I'm no stranger to looking a pillock, but there's a line of mediocrity I won't cross.

CharlotteStreetW1 · 12/08/2023 14:25

Yep, never worn a jumpsuit, playsuit or dungarees. At least not since I was a toddler.

They look great on some but not for me.

squashyhat · 12/08/2023 14:25

Oh so many. White trainers (apart from school), crocs, cold shoulder top, jeggings, ripped jeans, a boiler suit (apart from my DIY overalls), puffball skirt, onesie. I'm not so much behind the curve as over the horizon in the next county.

RampantIvy · 12/08/2023 14:36

White trainers. I didn't want to look like everyone else, so I bought some navy leather trainers instead.

UnctuousUnicorns · 12/08/2023 14:47

Blouses/shirts (since school) and shirt dresses, anything with buttons, as I detest buttons almost to the point of phobia so avoid at all costs.

I also dislike denim, particularly the regular blue stuff. I would only ever wear jeans in black denim, if at all.

clowniform · 12/08/2023 14:55

I'll give most fashion things a go, but have never even tried on crocs or stilettos (find both hideous)

samestyle · 12/08/2023 14:56

AllGrownUpp · 12/08/2023 14:57

A cardigan or scarf other than a knitted winter one.

FilthyBeast · 12/08/2023 14:57

I've never worn a bikini, only a full suit. When I have my tummy tuck I definitely will. I had a good body in my 20s just never had the confidence which is sad looking back.

NatashaDancing · 12/08/2023 15:00

Crocs
Trainers
Crop top
Blazer
Jumpsuit
Jeans (last owned a pair when I was 29)
Leggings
Track suit bottoms
Hoody
Puffer coat

Diddykong · 12/08/2023 15:02

A smart a line knee length skirt. I have one in my cupboard but cannot find any shoes that go with it as I can't wear heels and any flat shoe just doesn't seem to work with it. The whole thing makes me feel like a manager of a Boots store, it's that kind of navy.

User13986509 · 12/08/2023 15:04

Office wear like you get in M&S and Next.
jumpsuit as I am tall so very limited selection

IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads · 12/08/2023 15:07

Cold shoulder top - just what's the point?

Dungarees/jumpsuit/playsuit etc - my torso is very long, never found any that fit and allow me to stand up straight.

Bikini/crop top - horror of sunburn, shyness and now wobbly, overweight, 2 x cs middle age midriff. See also hotpants.

High heels - broke my ankle as a teen. 40 years later it still aches in even kitten heels. And I'm a size 9, so difficult to come upon.

Boob tube - boob sufficiently big that I really don't want to draw attention to them.

midsomermurderess · 12/08/2023 15:12

So many of these, including a bikini, play suit, leather trousers. I have just ordered my first pair of crocs though, so never say never.

MinnesotaMuffin · 12/08/2023 15:22

Trench coat
Ballgown
poncho

Lilsoph · 12/08/2023 15:24

Never worn purposely ripped jeans, only when, as an early 20 something, I bent down to do up an undone lace and I heard a rip noise - right across the cheek 😱 Luckily I was able to tie my sweat shirt around my waist. Never worn crocs, a cold shoulder top, rara skirt (showing my age), or halter neck top. Im sure Ive worn other ‘fashion disasters’ though 🤔

Why did you finally succumb??

Ditto. Jumpsuits are constantly recommended on MN, and they do look stunning on some women, but you have to have exactly the right body/leg proportions, otherwise they really accent your disproportions. In my case, I might as well carry a banner saying, LOOK AT MY SHORT LEGS.

canyon2000 · 12/08/2023 16:19

Trenchcoat
Makes me feel like Inspector Gadget!

Niftythrifter · 12/08/2023 16:36

A bikini ( did try the top of on once)
Jumpsuit
Playsuit

There’s more but those are the ones that stick out.

Justcashnosweets · 12/08/2023 16:38

I've never had or worn a suit. Or even a smart blouse and skirt with heels.
