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

For years my belly was bigger than my boobs! Now that's not the case, I'm too bloody old!

Lagershandy · 12/08/2023 18:59

Leggings, I am a classic pear shape so it's a big no from me.

memyselfiesandI · 12/08/2023 19:02

Leggings are my staple. I'm a size 14/16 with a big ass and thick thighs but life is too short to give a damn as long as I don't get laughed at in the streets then I guess i can't look all that bad.

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.

It has a name koumpounphobia the phobia about buttons. I am the same, especially loose ones, if I see one in a drawer or on the ground I feel sick and can't stop thinking about it.
We are not alone Steve Jobs ( that's why he always wore polo necks) Amanda Wakeley the designer and one of the Develigne girls suffer from this.

Even posting about it has given me the ick😫

Very few things, tbh. I think it's fun to experiment with fashion.

I agree. There are some things I know will just not suit me, but blanket statements such as "I don't do dresses" or "I don't wear trainers" come across as very rigid thinking.

I don't need trainers. I walk a lot but I don't play any sport. I've got various styles of flat shoes and boots which are good for walking, including flat canvas shoes, but I don't like and have no need for New Balance, Nike, Adidas etc.

I don't wear jeans or trousers either. I just don't like the look of them.

Never had animal print or a white wedding dress either.

Godmyback · 12/08/2023 19:43

Crocs
Anything with a snakeskin pattern
A thong bikini
Hats
Dungarees/pinafore dress

Doggymummar · 12/08/2023 19:47

I don't have a full length mirror so I wear just what I like. It's very freeing. When I was on jury service there was a mirrored wall which was disconcerting.

EmmaPaella · 12/08/2023 19:49

I look terrible in:
A crisp white shirt
Blazer
Trouser suit
Jumpsuit
Most skirts, especially midi
Anything with a crew neck (because I have boobs)
Anything tucked in. The French tuck makes me look like I did my jeans up hastily
White trainers and mom jeans - I look like I live in 1989, not in a good way
Floral dress - I look like I am in my fifties, in the fifties
Ballet flats - can’t walk in them
Skinny jeans - M&S Lily is the closest I have got.

EmmaPaella · 12/08/2023 19:51

Oh and dungarees - I look awful in any I have tried. Ditto pinafore dresses.

staycaysandvacays · 12/08/2023 19:51

Thing bikini - just do not understand why people want their arse hanging out at the beach. Awful trend

Clogs - so ugly

Boob tube. Got a decent rack never bothered. Jumpsuit- son. Shell suit- thank God🤪

Anything with no straps or few strips, yes I can and did wear it in my clubbing days but I hated my strapless bras… whereas my friends with small boobs were wearing bras with chicken fillets, Wonderbras!

I did and do still like my rack though. One of my best assets!

EmmaPaella · 12/08/2023 19:51

Oh and dungarees - I look awful in any I have tried. Ditto pinafore dresses.

Same, I wore both as a child but as an adult hell no!

Maireas · 12/08/2023 20:22

Leggings
High heels
Polyester tiered monstrosity dress

chouxfleur · 12/08/2023 20:33

Bootcut jeans - make my thighs look huge. They are huge, to be fair, but bootcut just highlights it.

discomoves · 12/08/2023 20:41

Thong bikini or anything floral

SallyWD · 12/08/2023 20:44

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.

Same

Maireas · 12/08/2023 20:44

Dr. Martens. I think they look great and tried some on once, but I knew that I'd never break them in! Some people have feet of steel.

GrumpyOldCrone · 12/08/2023 20:45

I’ve worn just about everything at one time or another. But never wedge heels. I’m sure they’re comfortable, and occasionally stylish, but I just don’t like the look of them.

MangoMandy · 12/08/2023 20:46

Me in a blazer- very chic
Me in a jumpsuit- Kwik Fit Fitter

SpamFrittersYouSay · 12/08/2023 21:19

Never worn...

Thong
Dungarees/playsuits
Jeans
White trainers except for tennis shoes at school
Cropped tops other than those that replace bras underneath clothes
Haven't worn blazers for at least thirty years
Swimsuits/bikinis for nearly forty years.

fullbloom87 · 12/08/2023 22:01

Leather boots
Leather jacket
Dungarees
Trench coat
Those hideous Balenciaga sock type trainers
Probably loads more but I'm not fashionable enough to know the names of them.

Janieforever · 12/08/2023 22:09

Culottes, or cold shoulder tops. I’ve never ever seen either on anyone and thought that looks nice.

declutteringmymind · 12/08/2023 22:17

Won't wear:

Ditsy florals
Cold shoulder
Spaghetti straps
Strapless
Sweetheart neck
Peplums

Kabbalah · 12/08/2023 22:24

LBD

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 12/08/2023 22:28

Mom jeans
flared jeans
real fur

I do have an M&S leopard coat but I only wear it with black jeggings, top and chelsea boots . My DD calls it my Pat Butcher coat but I think more Kat Slater Grin
