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

That came to my mind instantly, so you've made me chuckle that you thought the same

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 😀

Or Elsa could wear it to her wedding. Could probably fit Olaf under it.

You would if you chopped it up.

I assume you meant the bird, not the bag, but think of the mess.

MonumentalLentil · 10/11/2023 21:49

This would hide a few lumps and bumps. Must see if I can find one.

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.

That's fabulous. Where's it from?

It looks like a really shite attempt at a home-made mermaid costume for World Book Day. 😭

Well, if you need an outfit for your next workout, may I suggest: https://www.fabletics.co.uk/products/FABLETICS-WAFFLE-LEGGING-LG2253654-5335

The first one that made me laugh out loud 🤣

It's Raey.

Goodness only knows what's supposed to be "terrible" about it.

Seriously? I’m surprised anyone likes it, never seen anyone in anything quite like it, it’s ludicrously oversized, shapeless and drab.

😁😁😁my cat would have a field day with that fringe!

CherryMyBrandy · 11/11/2023 01:56

MerryChristmasToYou · 10/11/2023 11:45

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

In your opinion. I on the other hand agree with the OP, it looks fucking ridiculous, but you do you. Maybe you can pull it off :-)

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.

Your Mum sounds amazing!

£300 for these shorts.

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

I can't see even Kate Moss making that outfit look good

MessyMyrtle · 11/11/2023 04:45

Cate Blanchett ususally wears some great clothes. But I came across her in this outfit earlier today. Not recent. Is it just me or is it a why?? for those sleeves? Cate in suit with puffy sleeves

As someone else said that outfit will move beautifully when worn, it'll swish and flow and the material will be fantastic quality. I have a dress from that brand and it's generated loads of compliments from women of all ages. Every time I wore it during the summer someone complimented it.

Kate Moss isn't the be all and end all. I've never liked any of her looks and styles.

First one to actually make me snort with laughter

It may well swish and move but that doesn't stop it looking hideous.

I never said Kate Moss was the be all and end all.
