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).

Teeny tiny clutch bags are known as "a purse" in our house.

Shrugs. Why would anyone buy a pair of sleeves?

Pretty much anything made of synthetic fibres but nylon underwear in particular is too gross for words.

you adn FAQ

what a pair.

What on earth is that supposed to mean?

short sleeved jackets are ridiculous

hooded items when you nver ever have the hood up

raincoats without hoods

yes what IS that supposed to mean ICod??

Did you not realised I got rid of the wanker just over 2 months ago????

And now not only have more stylish clothes and more modern clothes - but even wear make-up sometimes too!!!

Snowsuits on babies.

as a Tsar I presume you have been to Russia - they're pretty much required in winter.

Mind you not so essential here I suppose. I had to buiy one locally as the snowsuits here are pathetic!

Bras with nasty, plastic straps - buy a strapless bra or put some decent clothes on!

the current local look is shorts with tights underneath and ugg boots.
What a fucking stupid combo - are you cold ?are you hot? make your mind up.
when I see it in cold weather they just look freezing and when i see them in the hot weather it just sings 'sweaty feet, sweaty crotch '

Yes I am waiting with trepedation for my son to bring a similarly clad girl home. Will I be able to keep quiet?

A shrug - a sort of breast warmer with short of three quarter sleeves.

Although I just bought a short swing cardi from Autograph (M&S) with a big satin tie and it's scrummy.

Hoodies on babies.

Actually, I think hoodies (pink cashmere ones) are only acceptable on babies

I farking hate gilets. Would make even SJP/Kate Moss look enormous if they wore them(which they wouldn't, nuff said)
Ties on blokes. Why?
But r.e. the plastic strap thing - if you wear a 30J bra like me, strapless ones ain't an option but you occasionally want to show off your shoulders (I give good shoulder, me). So what should I and others like me do? Is a Burka the only option?

Hate thongs. If you're worried about VPL don't wear knickers at all.

DH loves a good VPL by the way, and has been known to follow them in Tesco's!

30J, Slouchy? Wow, I am in awe.

I've seen extremely buxon ladies in strapless gowns - there must be someone who caters for these fabulous figures, surely?

Lol at 'in awe'.
I never do strapless - a pity cos I do have a nice back and good shoulders. Guess i could have a dress tailored but seems a pointless expense really. Cleavage would be about 6 inches long for a start! Would like to wear strappy tops in summer though -n and don't mention Bravissimo - they don't go big enough!

I think if i was young and slim i'd wear alot of the fashions that are about these days - they're really funky.

Fact is i'm neither and when i was culottes, manly waistcoats and kylie perms were all the rage.

Oh yes bras with plastic straps - who are they trying to kid?

And, sorry, but then I am an old lady: young men with jeans belted under their buttocks, showing underpants. Me and dcs always have a little laugh following those down the street.

In M&S they have loads of bra and vest sets. Do you wear the vest over a bra? What is the point of them?

Yes, eek!

And how the hairy heck do they defy gravity?

only read the 1st 2 posts and COD, I can't believe you picked someone up on their spelling lol
