Trends, what new things have you noticed? E.g. No more handbags?

[fuckthemail]

I'll start. Lots of younger women don't seem to have big handbags / large purses / wallets anymore.

What else have you noticed?

Used to love Miss Selfridge!!

Yes curls are in @ShinyAppleDreamingOfTheSea and layers and flicks

A woman walked in my GP surgery last week in a velour dressing gown.

If I have to look at flesh coloured leggings tucked into sports socks one more time….
I think it’s make up that feels like such a change.
In my younger years we had casual make up, daytime, evening out and special occasion. Now you can see women in full glam with the most casual daytime clothes.
Also - I’m glad to see that some younger girls are experimenting with bobs and shorter styles as while long hair is gorgeous, when everyone has it in exactly the same style, it just has no personality.
Also again - women from different generations sporting the same look. You see girls/mums/grandmas wearing similar looks now, although the styling may differ.
Thank God the older Mother of the Bride look has gone - usually a lilac or peach polyester trimmed dress with matching jacket, shoes, hat and bag.
I do know that men wear suits and tailored looks far less now, too, and I think any man looks better in a beautiful suit.

Very thick foundation, contouring, false eyelashes, shiny lipgloss, fake tan. Usually the enhanced pout.
Leggings, leggings, teeny gym shorts, boob tubes.
Alternatively beige seperares and sleeveless tank tops.

I think a lot of day time/ evening wear clothes look like PJs though, particularly the holiday wear I’ve been looking at with matching shirts and wide leg trousers.

Saw a young woman today. Tan, tatts, lips'n'lashes in head to toe beige. Body warmer, stretchy top, leggings and trainers. Pretty sure they would all be from adjoining Primark podiums as you enter. Which sounds bitchy, but would put good money on it 😁

@fuckthemail The look if you want to be classy in London is the no make up look. It takes expensive facials and lash enhancers to pull it off and glossy hair is a must. It’s very expensive and no flawed skin allowed! Heavy make up and huge lashes are really not seen in anywhere smart. Pouts are very discreet and natural. Anything else is taboo.

Short hair.

I haven't used a handbag for a while...proper ones, including designer bags, look really dated.

Properly ugly Dad trainers with dresses, jeans, shorts…everything! Massive, baggy wide leg trousers, huge coats and baseball caps.

Looks like they’ve fallen into a charity shop and come out wearing everything 😫

Oops, I’ve two main handbags - my work one and non-work one. Here everyone has cross-body camera bags (reminds me of my dog bag for treats!).

I actually think the pouty lip look is beginning to fade, or at least the lips aren’t so big/puffy.

To be fair, she could have been feeling pretty rough and felt too poorly to get dressed properly.

In Selfridges last weekend, I noticed handbags are definitely getting smaller, barely any large totes.

Wide legged high waisted trousers with tucked in tops. More trainers with trousers less heels. Loads of gazelle trainers. Some wearing shorts and tights with oversized blazers.

Less bronzers and heavy contouring thankfully.

My dd has gone for the wide jeans barrel look with fitted T-shirt but I’m still wearing my skinny jeans
(you’ll have to prise them off me).

Perhaps she was prepared in case she needed to go to hospital.😂

My husband can't understand why all these young women are wearing things like his John Lewis slippers 😂

Really? Surely 80s hair is giant perm etc
I have seen literally nobody with that hair out and about (have been in several countries over the last few months), let alone younger, trendy women.

Very healthy, natural looking hair seems to be the norm -not overly straightened, fewer very obvious hair extensions or Bleach blonde/bright colours etc.

Or do you mean just on men/boys?

What are the slippers like?

Fashion seems deliberately ugly at the moment - wide trousers, oversized tops, clashing patterns, big glasses that look my 80s National Health ones.

There seems to be a lot more body positivity - people of all shapes and sizes wearing leggings/cycle shorts and very fitted stuff.

The hated (by me) pulled up white socks.

Smart is definitely out - even in work meetings where I make a bit of an effort clients will turn up in those Ugg slipper things and a big baggy cardi looking like theyve just got out of bed.

Moustaches on men.

And by the look of my local high street today fake tan is going nowhere!

These !

Boys wearing black loafers & white socks with their uniform.

@Gundogday on one occasion I did actually go out shopping with my son's dog treat bag by accident because I was dog sitting and we both have many Uniqlo bags!

I definitely did that, but only with a big baggy t shirt over the top (I don’t think we went out with full bum on display). Cycling shorts and big Benetton or Global Hypercolor T-shirts - most definitely a thing in 1991!!

Definitely a lot of ‘oversized’ T-shirts around.

Jeans are paler in colour now.

Smart is still very much a thing in my workplace - I wear smart trousers, a shirt/silk blouse and loafers most days, with a jacket for meetings, as do all of my colleagues. The trousers are wide legged and jackets oversized, and flats now, whereas when I started out it was pencil skirts and heels (a welcome change!). I love getting dressed up for work.

What do you do and where in the country. I literally never see this in London. I travel on the tube daily and i could count on one hand the number of suits on men or anything resembling business dress on women
