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.

i think bikini tops anywhere other than a Beach. At

I had my Birkenstocks for about 20 years before they fell apart. They went everywhere. I got my moneys worth many times over.

Theres no clothing industry without it. What people choose to put on is their own judgement. Whether that is, “can’t be arsed” or “show my arse because that’s the current trend” it’s their choice.

@Magicpaintbrush l was just going to post something similar. Those vest tops on men are hideous, aren’t they, especially when coupled with hairy armpits. They are often paired with shorts that are too short and tight, revealing a massive, hairy beer belly and horrible hairy legs. I don’t much like vest tops on women, either, as they nearly always seem to have at least one bra strap on show. Unfortunately, they are worn all too often by overweight, older women, who do not wear a supportive bra. Shorts are fine on young, slim people but should not be worn by the vast majority of the British population, who, even if they are slim, often have varicose veins and most of us do not have slender, toned legs. Finally, bikinis on anyone larger than size twelve should be banned completely. Flabby stomachs over bikini bottoms look dreadful. Before anyone accuses me of being judgmental, I hold myself to the same standards as l would not want to inflict the worst parts of my body on anyone else. I have kept myself comfortable today in a t-shirt, midaxi skirt and sandals.

100%

Bright colours top and bottom? I genuinely want tips on how to do that without looking like Timmy Mallett.

Black and white aren't colours; they go with everything. Why is that wrong?

They don't peel for a whole 2 weeks, it might just take up to 2 weeks after application for peeling to start. Mine stared on Saturday, all done now.

The cream does help maintain them if you're not as lazy as me though!

Boob tubes ugh disgusting- it’s never perky boobs either!

You mean these? Me too!

It's not exactly that there's too much foot on show for me - bare feet are absolutely fine (if clean & presentable). It's the fact that there's a thin thong cutting between the big & second toe, which makes me feel nauseous - & then without a strap across the foot at the front, the toes seem to look weirdly naked, more so than if no sandals at all were worn.

I think you’re right. Most fashion is women trying to out do each other to be cooler, sharper, richer, more attractive etc. Essentially ‘look at me, I’m a winner’. So getting your arse cheeks out is one sure fire way of achieving getting attention - approving or disapproving. And then when cheeky arse shorts aren’t ’unique’ enough, go for a thong under a mini skirt, and when that isn’t enough, just pants in Tescos. And eventually we arrive at Bianca Cessori.

And versions of these thong mules (with less silly heels) are everywhere right now - & I hate them! This is at Copenhagen Fashion Week - look at that wee pink clawed toe hanging on for dear life!

Oh God, wide leg trousers come a close second for me in the banning stakes! 😬

I expect the exposing sunburnt skin again is to do with the "I need to go red first before I get a tan" myth.

How are those of us who are larger than an A cup supposed to wear strappy sundresses then?

Nude colour anything, bikinis swim suits leggings shorts . Make people look naked .

I hate Birkenstock Gizehs for this reason. The way it makes the foot look weird. Other Birkenstocks are fine.

Ha ha! Just as well we all have different tastes.
I am tall and slim and I think they look good on me.

You would think doctors were keeping quiet about the connection between sunburn and melanoma wouldn't you!

Men in flip flops. Just stop it.

Budgie smugglers, even by a pool or at the beach, just ewwwwww

Ugh - no! Feet encased in shoes or trainers in really hot weather? Gross!!

Maybe if they're canvas pumps or similar. But otherwise it brings to mind that painfully awkward scene in The Talented Mr Ripley, where Tom Ripley has nothing to wear on the beach except lime green trunks & brown brogues ...

They look like they are the most uncomfortable shoes ever!

Ugly footwear: sandals, flip flops, trainers etc.

The number of posts I see on the S&B topic asking “Are these sandals/shoes ugly?” I always choose not to respond…..because the answer is always “YES” and in many cases “YES, they’re fooking hideous, the only way to style them is in the frigging bin!”

It genuinely makes me question if people have some kind of axe to grind against feet (either in general or their own specifically), as that’s the only reasonable explanation for subjecting your lower ambulatory extremities to having to sport such sartorial abominations!

Out of all the styles of clothing (or lack of) that people say they hate seeing in hot weather, this is the least inoffensive.

Basic bitch was a dismissive unpleasant phrase when a drunk Kate Moss used it with an air stewardess. It's still dismissive & unpleasant now.

Vests on anyone, men or women.

Babies under 12 months get a free vest pass.

That's it.

Men wearing t-shirt shirts. I absolutely cannot stand them. Wear a t-shirt or wear a shirt and roll the sleeves up, but t-shirt shirts should be banned. It's irrational, I know!
