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

Those micro shorts teenagers wear that go right up the bum crack. Ugh.

Came to say this.

Birkenstocks and socks. Looking at my sister

I’m not keen on the cheeky bum bikini bottom. I’m on holiday and seeing a LOT of dimpled arse.

Agree about the men and the Ray Winstone 'Sexy Beast' look. At least we are saved from the speedos!
Young woman in city centre: She was slightly built, white dress just above the knee, fine. BUT wearing boots made of a thick brown plastic that I first thought was leather, they fitted like wellingtons.

Still no objections by the fashion police on this thread to trainers without socks in summer? Just about everything else has been condemned. I shall carry on doing this then, like we teenagers did in the 90s (sometimes with dresses), and we were told of all sorts of nasty things that would happen to our feet. I loved my Reebok Classics on my bare feet then. (One thing some people did then which would outraged mumsnet was to wear them tied very loosely indeed, so that your heel would pop out with every step. Also, backless trainers were popular then, especially without socks.) At the moment, I love my striped Rocket Dogs: very airy and comfy, no socks needed.

I don’t like flip flops because I can’t walk far in them, so I suppose I envy people who do wear them a lot. I like toe post sandals though, the ones with a single strap over the top of the foot.

I'm talking huge, heavy knee high boots combined with tiny strapless mini dress/ shorts.

Trainers were not mentioned. Ditto workwear and yanks. You are obviously have no idea what I'm talking about.

Yep, those are the ones! I just hate them. Absolutely zero foot support either.

Yet you were earlier going on about the open mules with the weird heels? It's just a bit of fun here - there's no need to get your knickers in a twist 😂

Shirtless men.

Gosh! People on here. Some of you would have a heart attack/ spit at me: wide trousers, Birkenstocks and a white tshirt with black bra underneath. Yeeees

When did calling women skanks,bitches and cheap tarts become acceptable on MN?

YES this is what I mean!! Seen several of these examples yesterday (In London, it was so hot you could probably fry an egg on the pavement): light, short, floaty dress and huge, leather-looking knee high boots that looked like gigantic wellies, with black knee high socks showing underneath. WTF is this fashion, you are not at a festival in a muddy field.

I never notice/ pay attention to other people's naked feet, I think all these people going on about how hateful naked feet are must be closet foot fetishists in denial.

Hard disagree.

I’ve been reading this thread too long to stick with just one so I’ll go for visible bra straps when the bra is tatty and greying, if you’re wearing thin straps then wear a pretty bra that co-ordinates in case it’s seen, extra yuck points for bra straps and strapless tops or back band of bra across the middle of a low back top. Horrible feet in sandals, no objection to feet or sandals but crusty heels, fungal toenails, crossed over toes, bunions on show (my friend who has terrible bunions manages to wear a style of sandal that disguises instead of emphasises the bunion). Walking sandals. Men in slip on shoes with no socks. Armpit sweat patches.

But that's probably where the look came from.

Not necessarily a summer look but I hate those shorts and leggings girls are wearing to the gym that go right up into their arse crack so you can basically imagine them naked.

They are horrific

Hahaa yes, sorry I meant strong colours rather than bright.

I disagree about black and white going with everything especially in the summer.

Palazzo pants.

For my own personal health and safety. Was wearing some when working from home (luckily) and tripped on the insides of them whilst walking up the stairs. This resulted in them simultaneously being pulled down and me falling flat on my face against the stairs. Never again.

Long maxi dresses might be similarly perilous.

I guess that’s a rational reason.

I always notice manky feet. One of my friends have thickened hard skin that has gone yellow. I fantasise about sorting them out, so perhaps I do have a fetish 😂

To be fair we went to the Yorkshire coast yesterday and I had to comment on how nice the vast majority of people looked. Plenty of summer dresses on display without revealing lots of flesh or underwear. Men in linen/cotton shorts.
The only sight I saw which made me wince was sunburnt young men-teenagers. Always on their exposed backs.
It made me chuckle how everyone in the bars/cafes sat outside was seeking shade too. Us included!

Cotton crumples just enough to look messy- with linen it's part of the look, no one mentions this because they all wear cotton.

This is gross people have no shame

Love harem pants and any wide/loose trousers in summer. I would quite like the grapes and peacock feathers too, but it's unlikely 😂.

This thread is hysterical. I, personally, think too tight, too skimpy clothes that show lots of sunburn is not a good look - especially in the full heat of the day. We could take note of how people in hotter countries dress: often looser, natural fibres, sunhat, cover ups, sunglasses...
