Laugh out loud clothing

261 replies

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.

I don’t think it would suit Kate Moss either because she’s a fashion model for fairly straightforward fashion brands, I think as pps have said it would be more suited to someone with a more radical/creative outlook
I’d like to look like Kate Moss 😅 not to dress like her though

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.

Hideous is your opinion, not a fact. People have different tastes and opinions.

This springs to mind:

The members on my Vulval Lichen Sclerosis forum love this picture. It takes pride of place in our photo gallery along with any other accidental lady bits images we can find. You’d be amazed at how many photos we have.

TheYearOfSmallThings · 10/11/2023 12:50

I actually love that.

Only for special occasions obviously Grin

I think it’s lovely.

Do they really? You don't say. Well I never!

Sarcasm aside, this is a thread on the internet discussing laugh out loud clothing which for me that outfit is. I never said others could not like it, the designer would not be putting clothes like that for sale if they did not sell.

Mercurial123 · 11/11/2023 07:56

ImCamembertTheBigCheese · 11/11/2023 04:36

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

Agree. It's awful. Looks like something from Big Love. Even Chloe Sevigny would struggle to make it look good.

Holidayhell22 · 11/11/2023 08:07

I could see people in my gym wearing those nude coloured leggings.
I wouldn’t wear any of the outfits posted on here. The only one I kind of like is the Roksanda one, not the fringe thing but the black jacket and caramel skirt, that does look like a decent outfit. I could imagine swanning around Whitby during goth week wearing that.

That outfit and the "terrible" Raey outfit are not remotely "laugh out loud'".

EveryOtherNameTaken · 11/11/2023 08:28

I need a cheaper version of that cape. I want.

There are some beautiful clothes there. This is wonderful and it's not the only one.

I would wear this too

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

Really? I can completely understand that this is not to your personal taste. Fair enough.

But to not understand why anyone likes it? Raey are great at this stuff. It's luxe leisure in a fabulous fabric with a nod to 90s hip hop.

Do you think the only legitimate aesthetics are ones that conform to your taste and you would wear personally?

They are to me and that is what this thread is about.

So you keep saying. You seem to find it difficult to understand several posters don't agree with you.

It's always surprising how conservative some posters are about clothes.

CharlotteRumpling · 11/11/2023 10:01

I knew this thread would only go one way!

WoollyBat · 11/11/2023 10:09

The Raey top just looks ridiculous with the matching trousers and the model’s pose. It’s loungewear and I’d wear something like that (but cheaper!) with jeans or leggings to WFH, but I think you’d look daft going out in the full set.

Not at all. Clearly some on this thread like the outfits and similar outfits and that is, of course, fine and to be expected.

If you don't want to hear the fact that I personally think the outfits are worthy of laughter, then stop quoting me.

WoollyBat · 11/11/2023 10:16

The blue outfit could look amazing on someone 6ft tall with enormous confidence at London fashion week; IMO if you are a normal-looking average-height woman and wore it to Sainsburys you’d look completely bonkers (though still of course have every right to do so if you like!}

A lot of this is about context and who can carry things off. it doesn’t help that a lot of “cool”/fashiony clothes are posed ridiculously in the pics.

But we can disagree about which clothes look laughable surely? This thread has been full of people posting pics and others saying “actually I love that” and discussing it without getting offended. Such is the fun of s&b.

A pigeon bag for just £650

I love this.

These absolute horrors came up on my Facebook ads yesterday 😱🥵

DresdenDoll · 10/11/2023 18:20

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 remember seeing those in Camden too !

£300 for these shorts.

Shorts?! They are knickers surely!

acrir · 11/11/2023 10:48

I knew I'd seen that cloak before. The sorceress from He-Man. From the feather-topped cloak down to the matching boots.

MidnightMeltdown · 11/11/2023 10:51

What's "terrible" about that?

@SukeDamson The proportions. It even makes the model look like a gnome. Her legs are about 2 inches long.

Not to mention the fact that her trousers cover her shoes and it gives the silhouette that you are a giant grey pear.

CharlotteRumpling · 11/11/2023 10:53

I would like the black tshirt with the fish tank mentioned. I Googled but it doesn't appear to be online.
