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

Suits every body. Usually in an article about a dress etc that is shapeless so it will suit only the ver tall and very slim

MerryMidwinter · 02/01/2024 21:04

Yes to all of these! One I hate is ‘booties’ - I think it’s an American term but it always makes me think of little knitted baby boots not something a grown adult would wear.

Elevate your fit.

Anything where 'fit' is used instead of the word outfit.

”XYZ of dreams”
Usually said by an influencer who is being paid to love said item and said it about a different item last week.

What on earth is 'a chef's kiss'??

And what is 'dopamine dressing'?

rollonretirementfgs · 02/01/2024 21:11

'Teamed with....'
'A nude shoe' it's SHOES
'Wide leg trouser' it's TROUSERS!!!!!

Dynamoat · 02/01/2024 21:13

'edits' that 'drop'

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

Yesss! Teamed with a plain white tee 🤮

MrsMoastyToasty · 02/01/2024 21:15

The fact that to buy "a ditsy print trouser" and "a red lip" you need to "shop the edit".

Oh yes!

JacquiDaytona · 02/01/2024 21:18

Came here to say ‘fit’ too - so irritating.

LadyHester · 02/01/2024 21:20

Iteration instead of version.
A thousand yesses to crisp white shirt and butter soft leather
Anything ‘statement’
’Glow-up’
Sartorial.
‘The style set.’

Atethehalloweenchocs · 02/01/2024 21:20

'Curated' instead of picked or chosen.

CeliaCanth · 02/01/2024 21:21

Oooh yes - “shop the edit” is very annoying.
Also “midaxi” and “shacket” and “desk to dinner”.

ValuableLimeLesson · 02/01/2024 21:21

'A red lip'

Like, what colour shall I make the other one, then 🤔

mrstrickland · 02/01/2024 21:24

I hate when people buy an item of clothing because its "useful". I could vaguely understand if it was like a rain coat and they are heading into a rainstorm, but it seems to be used for any item. I bought this £100 Toast top as it'll be "useful" 🙄

mrstrickland · 02/01/2024 21:25

oh and yes, 'lip' or 'brow' rather than plural is so irritating

You have to leave it naked because the sodding stuff is so expensive you can't use it on both lips 💋

And what is 'dopamine dressing'?

Wearing bright colours to cheer yourself up.

That stereotypical French chef move of making an OK sign with your hand and kissing it, then sort of flicking it up.

I watched a Youtuber the other day describe EVERY SINGLE THING she showed as supercuteandelevated. Couldn't stand the finish the whole video.

MerryMidwinter · 02/01/2024 22:02

A recent one is ‘shop your wardrobe’ which I think means wearing clothes you’ve already got instead of buying any new ones ie NOT shopping!

lemondroper · 02/01/2024 22:03

Only on MN do you read 'A pop of colour' and it's always mustard or cerise pink.

I don't like 'Bang on trend!'.

Teddleshon · 02/01/2024 22:04

It all drives me mad - piece, curated, capsule, pant. Makes me want to scream.

Crucible · 02/01/2024 22:06

Colourway

It comes in a COLOUR. GET OVER YOURSELF.

Pure cotton… nothing’s ever just cotton
investment piece… as if it’s going to increase in value
