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).

pashmina scarfy type things worn with a suit/smart clothes

Teeny tiny clutch bags that could barely fit a cash card in them, and you have to hold the damn thing. So pointless.

Playsuits (urgh)

Turned up collars and jacket sleeves pushed up (80s style)

Dungarees (on anyone over the age of 6)... Why ???!

I was back within a couple of hours. Very shameful. I did post a 'feel my shame' thread.

agree teeny tiny bags need a strap, because the only time you use them is for eg black tie things where you have no pockets, and without a strap mean you cannot carry a bottle of champagne and four glasses

Empire lines are not always bad [adjusts comedy Jane Austen bosom]

Who wears dungarees now!? (Apart from 20m old dd at this very moment)

I know Grazia is trying to promote the playsuit but personally I feel they are a forbidden item unless starring in a remake of boogie nights

text book flouce - well done!

Blame FAQ! I was on the phone to her and she read out some bitchy posts about me so I had to come and bitch back.

Jeans on young men that have a crotch somewhere near their knees. I know that's a method of wearing them rather than the garment per se but I don't care. Why is it cool to walk like a penguin who has sh*t itself? I know all about wanting to shock the older generation but surely the required effect is shock and outrage not falling about laughing?

I like gilets. I find them useful.

Most useless garment I personally own is a running top DH gave me. It's got short sleeves, very fitted round the waist but made of super thick thermal type cloth - in winter you can just about wear it but with nothing on top and it means you have freezing arms. In summer it's like running in a sauna. Just pointless.

oh MrsB you do conjure up a beautiful image of yourself over time

I see you dressed in period costume, yet strangely stylish and 'now', constantly carrying around champagne, glasses, and a wonderfully stylish leather briefcase packed with every catalogue under the sun

yes OrmIrian I found myself looking at a bloke's buttocks in white underpants the other day, in the middle of the day

it was alarming

I wear dungaress with a sleeveless t-shirt and bikenstocks in the summer.
i THINK IT LOOKS NICE

apologies for overuse of word 'stylish'

Ties. I mean, WHY?

I hate jeans though. Everyone wears them, so I refuse too

Footless tights.

Those aladdin type trousers that are apparently making a comeback, why would you want to wear something that makes your arse and thighs look like you could inflate them. Beyond me.

I had a stunning pair of those in the Eighties, Ranting. I must have looked like a complete chump.

Did you got absailing in them?

Gawd, I had a pair too. Why, why, why??? Hammer Time!

g-strings
