You can ban ONE summer look. Which?

[awfulapril]

Which kind of outfit or particular item are you seeing in the hot weather that you'd like to ban Man or woman.

illogical hatred preferred
i think bikini tops anywhere other than a Beach. At

the amount of women’s arses i saw yesterday was disturbing. one women in a mini skirt bent over to her pushchair and he entire bare arse was on display. put.it.away

Men in mid-calf cargo pants. Most people in shorts (me included).

I have long suspected it, but this thread provides confirmation - all summer clothes are basically shit.

Lucy and Yak colourful/patterned dungarees and jumpsuits. They look like giant toddler clothes.

In no particular order….
Crocs
Hot pants
Bikini tops anywhere other than the beach
Sleeveless tee shirts on men showing hairy armpits
Men In public with no shirt or tee shirt
Leggings
Low slung bottoms that show bum cracks
Manky, old, knackered flip flops

Were you in Manchester? I said earlier that last night I kept seeing young women wearing thongs and a weird wide belt thing, fringed or hanky hem, that was obviously intended to cover only about a third of the arse. It was essentially full bare arse out, as streetwear. I'm not usually too fussed about clothing I don't like, including revealing clothing, but this seemed to cross a line for me. It's the middle of a city, not a beach or pool. Arses all out, really?

The irony is, unless you are sunbathing, being covered up a bit like wearing loose muslin type (I don't know the name of the fabric) tops/shirts with sleeves, loose flowy ankle length trousers or a long flowy dress and a hat keep the sun off and keep you cool. Nothing else does as the skin roasts away otherwise!

Men without tops on. It isn’t sexy or cool and you will just end up sunburnt.

Women with straps everywhere, see above. Saw someone out today who must have been wearing a top full of straps yesterday and had a weird sunburn pattern.

This has reminded me of when I was in Portugal 2 years ago and there was a very tanned German man probably in his 60s who was bare chested wearing what looked like lederhosen. This was by the hotel pool. He had a big tummy but it looked pretty firm, more like a pregnant belly. Even though it should have looked awful or hilarious there was something about him that meant he looked quite cool. Maybe it was the braces with the bare chest. I loved his confidence 😆

This is my MIL bless her heart!

Really?

So you would be OK with someone walking around the town centre just wearing a g-string or a full latex gimp suit because that's their ''right''?

In public spaces you also to consider other people.

I don't want to see men's sweaty chests when I am in a supermarket or a woman's backside hanging out of their too small and too tight shorts when I am in a shop.

Linen trousers and tops are the best things to wear in summer. They are cool and comfortable. Why does it matter it they look creased. It's part of the look

Like an X-rated Winnie the Pooh.

Ugh, yes! Scrunch bum leggings. Nobody needs to see your bum crack in high definition. I don’t think they look nice on even the most toned bums.

Well to be fair I haven’t seen anyone walking around time in a gimp suit so not sure that’s where I was going with that. But women in shorts, sandals, maxi dresses, with tattoos, strap on tops etc etc. Many of the suggestions are just misogynistic at worst and critical of women at best. I mean overweight women in maxi dresses ffs. You know what? It’s ok for people to have body hair, to be fat, to sweat in hot weather without being shamed.

Hair that goes past your bum. Massively freaks me out as you can sit on it and also its literally on the floor if you are sitting down - imagine it wiping the floor at the pub/ bus/ bus stop and then you are in bed sleeping with all this shit touching your body. Gross.

Also seen a teenager in Tesco wearing actual underpants (thin cotton fabric, white with tiny flowers on it), thin transparent vest top and slippers. Fucking weird as might as well would have been naked.

I’d ban capri trousers. Seeing capri trousers irrationally aggravates me.

Those baggy wide leg trousers with thick coloured stripes, likely from Beyond Nine. I don’t know why I hate them but I do.

I'm in London obvs ))

It seems every item of clothing you could possibly wear in summer has been criticised which leaves me wondering what do the mumsnet fashion police think we should be wearing? And that picture of the closed in shoes on this thread are absolutely vile give me a pair of open toed sandals any day.

From bikini tops to gimp suits. Only on MN. 😂

Topless men.

No. Put your pointless nipples away.

I agree. There are some very intolerant people on this thread. Why would perfectly normal clothes like linen trousers or maxi dresses enrage people so much? I agree about the bums hanging out though.

You don’t think people should wear shorts. Now your being ridiculous.
