Fashion speak that annoys you?

[Britpopbaby]

Obsessed as I am obsessed with this top.
Cute to describe nearly everything.

"Elevate/elevated" is my personal needs-to-die of the moment.

Curated, pops of colour, trouser...

Quiet luxury
Old money

Colourways

I agree with 'a trouser', 'a boot' etc. Just use normal plurals FFS!

Also 'a red lip'. Ugh.

Calling things from places like Fat Face, pieces. They’re not pieces, they’re clothes.
Tee for T Shirt

On trend.

And tabloid fashion speak - shows a bit of side boob / puts on a leggy display… arghhhhhh

drives me to distraction and makes me twitchy.

Midsize

On point 🩰🩰🩰

The owner of our local boutique assured me that the top I was trying on "makes your eyes pop" 😳

Thats what I leave on my cup when Im slurping

Having recently read this fashion article in the grauniad, I’m left thinking, ‘what in the gates of hell was all that about? Anyway, the phrase ‘curated chaos’ is very annoying.

Referring to separate items of clothing as “pieces”. I used to see it a lot on here so started avoiding S&B as couldn’t beat the pretentiousness.

Ubiquitous

It's everywhere ...

Elevate your fit.

"wearing a handbag" FFS

and" it's got pockets"

"edgy"

The people described as “putting on a leggy display” are often those with legs that aren’t their best feature.

Butter soft leather. I can’t remember ever seeing a fashion journalist use the word “leather” without appending the “butter soft”. So lazy. As bad as the constant references to crisp white shirts on here, but at least S&B posters aren’t being paid to churn out their drivel.

😂

Particularly when you get said shoes home and they need a hammer to break them in.

yeeeesssss!

BUTTER SOFT leather.....

Outfits that are going to 'take you' somewhere.

"This dress will take you from the office to a nightclub..."

"A skirt to take you from casual breakfast to partying the night away..."

"Need an outfit to take you from the school run to a garden party?"

Usually also requires a huge bag of accessories, spare shoes and the opportunity to do a full make up and blow dry in the ladies.

Anything “teamed with” anything else
makes me shudder

"Colour way" and "price point". It's just "colour" and "price" FFS
