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

Short, short tight gym lycra hotpants ouside the gym..

This.

Went to the beach today - am ginger and pale, so know full well there is no prospect of ever getting a tan. I kept slathering myself in factor 50, and when I was waiting for my husband to get back from a walk and help to apply cream to my back, I covered myself with a towel.

Around midday, this woman came and sat in front of me. She removed her shirt to reveal this horrific-looking sunburn, presumably from the weekend... then proceeded to expose it to the afternoon sun. She was sti there when we left at 4.

I have nothing against people who want to sunbathe or get a tan (or boil themselves like lobsters). I just kept thinking about how much it must hurt, and how ill she is probably going to be feeling later. No matter how careful I am, I occasionally miss an area with the factor 50, and have been burnt a few times - but never as badly or over such a large area as this. It really does hurt, and there's no way I'd have wanted to expose my sunburn to the midday sun. Even for somebody who tans eventually, surely no suntan is worth that amount of discomfort!

'Wife beater' singlet type vests on overweight unfit men

This! The women equivalent is a bikini bra top.

I too suspect the fishy one. 🕵

And you took a photo of her?

Closed toe shoes are not sandals!

I've always thought abayas look beautiful and practical by reducing UV access to the skin, but as a short, plump, white atheist I've actually been too worried to wear them for fear of being judged. Don't want to get jumped on by the cultural appropriation gang for appreciating the clothing is ideal for the longer, warmer weather.

Thanks. I seem to always be in hospital when the weather is good in Ireland. I remember being stuck on a drip for most of the summer with my first pregnancy (had hyperemesis gravidarium) with no aircon and a window that barely opened. Plus in June 2016 and 2017 I had major surgery and I missed all the nice weather again!

Not specifically. I took a lot of photos of different parts of the beach/ town, and it was pretty rammed. This photo is heavily cropped for the purpose of the thread, but contained some gorgeous scenery. 😍

This!!!

Strappy sundresses with a tee shirt underneath. Also strappy sundresses with bra straps showing

What's the issue with longer dresses? Everything is covered, they're not indecent... Good for the warm weather

Mine would be crocheted tops. Sure they look cute but it's not a summer top when it's thick yarn lol

If the sun is very strong, everyone has a medical reason to protect their eyes!

The photo is weird

I can't stop buying crochet broderie whatever tops

Bottom biscuits.

Same here its a total addiction.

These don't work for very hard skin. They only exfoliate the softer skin.

I go to a chiropodist and still have ugly feet. In the same way that I wear makeup and still have an ugly face. I'm not going to walk around with a bag over my head and similarly, if it's over 28 degrees, I'm going to wear sandals.

"But they're high waisted"
Yeah, it's not the waist that needs to be covered, love!

Thong bikinis on the beach in the UK. They’re EVERYWHERE at the moment. Including on girls that are waaaaay too young to be wearing them.

Greening tattoos, ruined by too much time in the sun just look vile.

Sunburn. What IS it with the fucking British and our seeming inability to apply sunscreen properly?

Paunchy shirtless blokes who think they’re David Hasselhoff in his heyday. Ugh! Put it away.

God, she’s going to have sunstroke at that rate. Stupid eejit!

To be fair, proper summer clothing isn't even sold in the UK as the need for it isn't there for more than a week or two every summer.
Go to Spain and you can buy an elegant work suit in a thing summer material, for example.

Ugh! This! No-one wants to see your breakfast, love! The amount of really young girls wearing these things is horrible.

Oh yes, another one - women wearing heavy, leather looking tall boots in this heat. I feel a heat stroke coming on just looking at that. Any kid of boots - cowboy, Dr martens, huge knee-high affairs - with tiny dresses, shorts etc. Very often, there would also be knee high socks on show. FFS, how are you not hot??? Its 34 degree. These boots must be full of sweat.
