What item of clothing do you think is pointless and well, a bit strange?

[peacelily]

For me it's the short sleaved coat. Don't see the point at all, not a body warmer and not a proper coat, you'd have to put leg warmers for arms on with it (if such a thing exists).

Or even high heels with a bikini [yuck]

cappy gilets have a purpose. They are not a fashion accessory. They keep me warm when I'm halfway up a crag in the peaks but I need my arms unpadded to climb better.

They are not for wearing around town.

Anything cropped and therefore breezy around the midriff.

This the old lady thread

Hate body warmers too, but didn't want to offend they are de riguer for all the sloanesk, yummy mummy wannabees round my way.
(and sometimes they are worn with a t-shirt underneath so purely just for effect)
Along with an artfully tied silk scarf....

mmj I find thongs work better, sometimes. They are not my underwear of choice though I have to say.

Linen clothes, too crumpled looking.

polo necked tank tops as favoured by sharon stone types in the 90's. to reiterate the point made several times, if it is cold enough for roll necked knitwear it is cold enough for sleeves.

Gosh yes I am sounding like an old codger.

hoodies..especially sleeveless hoodies

those stupid jester hats

waistcoats

empire line things

honestly who doesn't look pg in them

A bit dated now but those horrible Alice bands like a comb that make your hair look greasy.

yes waistcoats.

Hoodies are great though, very warm and comfy.

oh yes MrsB waistcoats

just the thing to make even the most discreet norks look uncomfortable

anything worn by the upper classes on 'ceremonial' occasions.

those big belts teeangers wear that don't do anything and gape
