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.

Same old posters here who lord it over everyone with a bit of a name change after an embarrassing moment 😂

I can't work out whether I love or hate these but I cannot imagine who is paying those prices for them 😂.

Ha ha wow. Perhaps it makes an ironic statement? (I quite like the pajamas.)

Primark do Greggs stuff for a fraction of the price.

It's a joke.

Pickling- good, Brussel sprouts- good… what’s not to like!

I have to get my DH some of these for Christmas! He's a massive fan of both Brussels sprouts and pickles. Wonder if they sell them in Asda ?

DerekFaker · 20/11/2023 11:07

Everything has a target market 😁

MerryChristmasToYou · 20/11/2023 11:08

Make your own, @ShinyAppleDreamingOfTheSea . There are easy recipes online.

I’ve always liked the famous Edith Sitwell (who was the embodiment of flamboyance) quote:

“Good taste is the worst vice ever invented."

SheGotACamouflagedFace · 20/11/2023 21:48

The jersey dress with fringing was much worse than I was imagining… but adore the divine cape and love the Egg jacket/coat - such a beautiful blue.

"Self confidence always looks good". Thank you, that's amazing.

I once saw a man rocking a bowler hat in central Manchester circa 2005. He really suited it. I'd have told him so if I'd had more confidence.

Live and let live. Life is short 😍

@blinkybell those shoes would be perfect for stealing Christmas in.

Ok...I actually think you need to be older to carry this off. Fuck being a pretty princess, this is full on Snow Queen for powerful women who have been around long enough to know the world and their place in it. It requires serious presence and although it's not essential, white hair will pick it up like nothing else.

I say go for it.

Oh I love this.

I love the cloak and if i had an occassion (could I persuade a child of mine to get married in winter?)
then I would wear it and rock it!

(not that I oculd afford it,and i don't have anything to wear with it. Needs long boots I think ....)

There’s loads for me, but these are really popular and I just cannot fathom why.

I like to think I'm fashionable although I draw the line at crocs and ultra wide leg jeans.. and I thought I was daring when I was thinner & went clubbing in bodycon dresses.

But I realise I'm clearly dated.
I saw a woman today outside Tesco who I thought had shorts on with bare legs & as she got closer I realised she was actually wearing what appeared to be a. pair. of. big. white. knickers. In embarrassingly thin material.
Accessorised with Ugg boots and a short jumper. (Which are fine imo with jeans).
Omg the second hand embarrassment I felt.

In the summer I've seen younger girls in black, well basically shorts style knickers with their hoodies on my estate, and in nude coloured tight shorts & leggings with crop tops. Awful. The kind of thing Kanye West makes his partner wear.

But thin white knickers were a new low.

I mean why bother even wearing clothes in future? Or am I just not on trend here?
I mean why spend £££s on actual clothes when you can buy a pack of 6 knickers in Primark for £3 and be in fashion??

Jetstream · 21/11/2023 18:30

Forgive my ignorance, wouldn’t a person have to be 7ft tall with a decent size foot to carry off those clothes? Otherwise it look like a heap of clothes moving around.
