Laugh out loud clothing

I have a pretty much live and let live attitude to clothing. Generally if I see something a bit out there, I just shrug and think good on whoever wants that.

But occasionally I see something that seems so ridiculous, that it makes me laugh out loud. Today’s item: https://www.jigsaw-online.com/collections/dresses/products/roksanda-fringed-knitted-dress-berry?_gl=1agmcle_up*MQ..&gclid=CjwKCAiAxreqBhAxEiwAfGfndMTIbNfmdWln5jIxItMrxST14Bz2p9ljJcfTjpHZdMON3NVzZH9l3hoCiMEQAvD_BwE

How is it sold out??

Would love to see if anyone else has this reaction to some items and would particularly love to see screenshots/ links to them. Very much need a bit of cheering up/distraction today.

That’s a terrible quality picture sorry. But who styles giant coats with knickers?? She’ll catch her death

savoycabbage · 10/11/2023 11:44

She’ll catch her death

Maybe she had trousers on, but took them off because her mam told her she wouldn't feel the benefit.

vidflex · 10/11/2023 11:45

@HamHand lol! I have regular nightmares where I dream I've gone out in my knickers lol

MerryChristmasToYou · 10/11/2023 11:45

The fringed dress is fashionable and apart from the fringe being too long looks great

dudsville · 10/11/2023 11:48

That's handy knitwear. It's perfect for our windy rainy winters, those days when you find you're feeling too dry. The tentacles can flap about seeing out water sources.

The perfect outfit for running out in the snow to find your man who has gone diary shopping.

Earlier this summer I was searching for a MOG outfit.
I came across this. The coat was £1,100 and the skirt £730.
I'm really not sure if the haircut is compulsory.

That's from either Casey Casey or Egg.

It's a trillion times better than the usual MoB horrors. (Nancy Mac, Bombshell, Dancing Leopard) I'd wear it. I do wear clothes like that.

I can just imagine what my granddaughter,age 8 , would say to those trainers. Something along the lines of are you Alladin grandma !

Barbiefromtheblock · 10/11/2023 12:49

Itisyourturntowashthebath · 10/11/2023 12:16

I would totally wear that (if it didn't cost 4 grand!)

TheYearOfSmallThings · 10/11/2023 12:50

Itisyourturntowashthebath · 10/11/2023 12:16

I actually love that.

Only for special occasions obviously Grin

A few days ago I had these advertised to me:

https://www.shein.co.uk/Low-Waist-Cut-Out-Raw-Trim-Denim-Shorts-p-10080188-cat-1935.html

5/5 from 45 reviews and almost sold out...I'm not even sure I understand how they're meant to work 😅

Hahaha!

Is the trim supposed to replicate pubic hair?!

I quite like the Roksanda jumper dress! Though I would trim the fringe...

And yes, the knickers and coat thing was pure Bridget Jones.

(Honestly, though, the stuff I find myself incredulously laughing at is not high fashion, it's the mystifyingly popular 'skin-toned leggings and skin-toned tight cropped top' look which makes you look as though you have been transported from one of those early 'naughty' photos, where the women are all wearing flesh-coloured bodysuits...)

Having said that, I saw the new Yorgos Lanthimos film last night, and Emma Stone's kind of steampunk costumes were fabulous. She actually has an opaque yellow raincape not unlike the one above, apparently inspired by Victorian condoms, but I loved it...

I overheard a discussion whilst (not) swimming the other day - a very hip man telling his companion that his latest project was a non-fetish leather harness for men. I suspect a fashion student so obviously not mainsteam, but my mind did boggle somewhat.
