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.

The blue outfit photographed with the static pose and blank faced model with pudding bowl haircut could actually look great out on the street, with movement and a bit of liveliness!
It would be interesting to see it swirling around in a light breeze. And it could look good on all shapes and sizes.
I can’t say the same for some of the other stuff … unless you’re wearing it because you just lost a bet.

Plumo is always good for a laugh. I actually like a lot of their things but they usually do a good line in mindblowingly ugly trousers. Like these

however I LOVE the pigeon bag, and I also really love the sound of the top a PP described with a water section and fish in the back. 😍

Ahh I actually love this as someone who hates being too hot in the groin area.

This thread has made me laugh out loud, my favourite are the curly toe shoes

A pigeon bag for just £650

Did Carrie have one of those in just like that spin off?

In my day they were called 'shite catchers' 💩😂

Edina would wear this 😂

You are bang on the money there. It would have to be two sizes too small of course

This springs to mind:

Oh my god. I looked at that and thought "that's quite nice" for far too long before the penny dropped (and I read the text) Confused

My mum is 80 next year, and basically the shape of a baked potato with legs… ever since she had a total hysterectomy at 50.

She has absolutely no interest in whether her clothes ‘fit her shape’, she cares only that they are an unusual or interesting shape, and in very expensive fabric.

She is as happy with people thinking ‘wtf is she wearing now?!’ as she is with people thinking ‘That looks great’.

She wore a hat with a dead bird on it to my wedding. An actual taxidermy bird and a vail on the same hat.

Very ‘when I am old I shall wear purple’.

Since hitting retirement my mother has discovered make up, neon, hot pink and aggressive tribal prints. Fuck the sensible shoes and dark suits of her working life, she’s enjoying herself and self confidence always looks great.

You'd never get a pigeon in that!

I'm sure you could, the only question really is whether it'll be alive and for how long. Even if you navigate that, the RSPB might have take a dim view. Nobody has a sense of humour anymore*

*Obviously, this is sarcasm ;-)

Theokaycokey · 10/11/2023 20:03

I posted this a few weeks ago. Obviously it's all about the fringing this season! Enjoy the hairy flat chested look!

I would be very interested to see that woman negotiate an escalator in that.

Theokaycokey · 10/11/2023 20:07

Am loving the flesh coloured Y front leggings.

WanderingWitches · 10/11/2023 20:10

That cape is actually gorgeous 😍

In the early 90's, I worked in a bar of a hotel and a lady came in one night wearing what from the front, looked like a perfectly normal and stylish top. When she turned round, the back had a sealed round plastic area, containing water and a floating model fish.

I am not joking!
Oh I had one of those! A black t shirt with a clear panel with water inside and a plastic fish. They were quite a thing in Camden in the '90's. I'd forgotten about it!

I am laughing so much that someone on this thread actually owned one of those tops!! What are the chances? Off to Google them.

You would if you chopped it up.

Ha, I was going to deploy the photo of the fugly shoes I saved a couple of years ago, but I must have deleted it…..here’s a terrible outfit instead from a similar thread not long ago.

This always makes me chuckle and I would wear it on my next holiday just for the laughs but my daughter won't let me

Just go down Bradford market and you will get them for a tenner!

I really like that.

What do you hate about it?

Gives the illusion of really short legs!

I hope your joking.

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

I really like it, although not my colour.
I LOVE the cape with the silver feathers.
Actually I love quite a few of these things, what does that say about me ?!
