Things that you hate in current fashion?

[Niftythrifter]

The half zip. Just why?

Shapeless blue jeans, shapeless button-down shirts, anorak type jackets, big white trainers. Stuff your Boomer dad wears, and now you're peed off that he's inadvertently fashionable and you're not (or is that just me?) 😂

I agree about the fashion magazines & fashion shows.

I like denim though and it can look good with the right other bits.

I get what you mean now.

I was amused/irritated to see the return of this belt in Urban Outfitters. First seen on Sienna Miller, then the rest of us and then Deirdre Barlow:

@AppleTurnover1000Degrees Denim is fine and can look good, as you say - I'm just bored of every young woman/girl sporting the same pair of pale blue baggy jeans and white trainers. I know we all complain when fashion changes too fast (well I do) but I feel like "proper clothes" are due for a comeback. Proper clothes = tailored garments not made from denim or polyester. I'm not throwing out my jeans though!

I also have a normcore (male) colleague. Birkenstock clog things, fleece gilets, a mullet and topiary style facial hair… Costs a fortune to look like a 90s geography teacher on a field trip apparently.

Yes! I loathed those tops and they were everywhere!

just been to a nice restaurant there for Sunday lunch. everyone dressed up having a great time with fab food. saw a young girl wearing a fabulous satin skirt witha lovely summer knit
it was fabulous in her everyone at my table admiring it. so simple. then she walked past us to go to the toilet and she was wearing Crocs (not even clean ones ) with white trainers socks. why oh the feck why. ruined a fabulous outfit..this girl.was in her young 20s. every one at my table was like why on earth why ?? it ruined the whole look completely?

They're still out there, lurking! I picked up a lovely top the other day and thank god noticed it had those stupid holes in the shoulders before I bought it.

There was a thread a while ago now and I had mentioned how awful I felt cold shoulder tops were. I was absolutely berated for doing so. They didn’t change my mind……they’re still awful.

Of course not. People can wear what they want. However, if you have excess weight in the stomach area, high waisted jeans will usually emphasise that (unless you wear a long loose fitting top over them)

Especially when you sit down and there's all that thick excess fabric bunched up around the stomach. I just think that they're really unflattering on most people

Ooh I hate the lower waisted things as if you crouch down you can get builder's bum

It's the one item of clothing that I don't actually think looks nice on anyone at all. I mean I don't like crop tops, but can see that they look great on some people. I don't like cropped flares but my sister looks amazing in hers etc., but I've never seen a cold shoulder look nice on anyone and think they can spoil an otherwise beautiful outfit.

Yes! How about something Victorian or Edwardian style? Not with the crazy rib-squeezing corsets but the lovely fabrics and designs.

I've never felt comfortable in jeans, I just feel like a slob even though I don't really notice them on anyone else. Slim black jeans are ok (as they look like trousers!), but I couldn't even conceive wearing pale blue jeans.

I can't stand the feeling of polyester and loathe it with a passion. Acrylic is slightly better but I just think, what's the bloody point. Just buy a jumper with wool in it and it will have the added bonus of keeping you warm.

I've been looking for a wool winter coat and pleased to see that fitted tailored overcoats seem to be coming back, rather than the sacks of potatoes in the shops last season.

Exhibit A. The model's face says it all really https://www.superdry.com/details/180488/limited-edition-longline-wool-coat-tan

I like that coat.

I look better in my skinny flares than I do midi/maxi anything. I know we are different. I've been wearing floaty non denim shorts today. I'm enjoying clothes more now since I'm middle aged. I think I've worked out what suits me and have more time.

I love denim though but I'm not wearing a denim jacket as some of my middle aged friends go for midi dresses with one and the look is just not me even though it looks OK.

Also, the PP who hates bright colours would hate me. In summer I love bright clothes and tan really easily. I tone it down in winter.

Beige. Coral. Pastels. Cropped anything. High waisted dresses that make you look pregnant. Cap sleeves.
