Laugh out loud clothing

IdealisticCynic · 10/11/2023 11:29

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 price can get in the bin and I would want floor length but it is beautiful.

I own a very expensive cape (although we are talking hundreds not thousands though) similar and people are always trying to nick it (borrow it for events and I have to repeatedly remind them to give it back).

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 hope your joking.

I just can't image anyone chooses to dress that shapelessly and unflattering.

No, I'm not joking.

There's loads of stuff suggested on here I personally think is horrible and I'd never wear. - Dancing Leopard, Jolie Moi, Nancy Mac.

People have different tastes.

MerryChristmasToYou · 10/11/2023 15:00

And some people have no taste.
All you need with that blue outfit is a Sou'wester and a pair of wellingtons.

StasisMom · 10/11/2023 15:16

Agreed, I don't mind it at all, I just don't like the colour. But absolutely, fortunately there is a range of tastes and these tastes are generally catered for and we have the freedom to wear what we want.

I couldn't wear all of it together but I quite like it. It looks comfortable, unlike a lot of things that are worn these days, and makes a pleasant change from wall to wall floral dresses and little white pumps/plimsolls/great big white trainers with huge soles.

Possimpible · 10/11/2023 15:44

That blue thing @VeronicaBeccabunga posted honestly looks like something my 90yo gran would have worn to the outdoor bowling on a mildly wet summer's day. I don't care if it's 2k, it's awful.

@blinkybell Ideal for a Christmas temp job in Santa's grotto!

You'd never get a pigeon in that!

Beentherewasntfun · 10/11/2023 15:49

I work in a ‘creative’ environment and that blue outfit and haircut is very much the everyday style for lots of 20s/ 30s colleagues. Lots of them rock it, tbf

AuntieMarys · 10/11/2023 15:51

I've just finished Selling Sunset and am open-mouthed at what they wear...or don't.

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.

I like this one - I'd wear it :)

ElizaWinter · 10/11/2023 15:53

Itisyourturntowashthebath · 10/11/2023 12:16

I wouldn't be able to carry it off at my age, but back in the day..

Not really, I wouldn't have anywhere to go in that, not then or now!

Become a model, they said. You'll get to wear beautiful clothes and look fantastic, they said...

LadyMacbethWasMisunderstood · 10/11/2023 16:03

The Wolf and Badger cape and the blue outfit from Egg are both fantastic in different ways. I have a cape, less expensive but similar, that I’ve worn as an evening coat for years. I can’t afford clothes from Egg. But I buy things from Sahara and elsewhere that have a similar vibe. I’d not be brave enough to wear all pale blue. But I bet it looks great on the beautiful young crowd.

I could quite happpily go for the feather cape and pigeon bag

SuitYouSir · 10/11/2023 16:05

That feather cape is so wonderful! I have no idea what occasion it would fit though. Maybe a winter wedding in a forest. Where an elf is marrying a fairy 😀

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.

I knew there would be at least one offering from Wolf and Badger 🤣

CatBumJuice · 10/11/2023 16:22

Oh no, I'm getting really weird clothing ads popping up now after clicking on that cape link!

My mum is an artist and she would absolutely rock that outfit (although she doesn’t do pastel type colours), with some weird accessories or an odd hat. She pretty much does have that haircut too!
