I’m no fashion expert but even I’m thinking wtf. What is going on with Next and other high street shops? The ‘style’ is comical.
Am I the other one totally fed up and shocked at how rubbish the shops are for clothes?

Ermmmmm I am in hospital waiting for an op later today. I bought the capybara nightie especially for this stay! I was actually quite excited to find something that looked so fun and opened this thread excitedly! Oh dear !

That’s fine, that’s allowed. Anything that cheers you up in hospital is allowed. 💐

I walked through next a couple of months ago and wondered if I’d somehow missed the memo that they had turned into a satirical brand or something. Everything was hideous. The fabric, the designs, the shapes. Awful.

Edit to add I didn’t realise capybaras were so in at the moment. I thought its was the Axolotls time to shine.

I like capybaras! But I was in Primark recently and surprised by how childish the women's nightwear was. I'm in my 40s - I'm not looking for nighties adorned with sausage dogs, cupcakes, Winnie-the-Pooh or Snoopy.

Yes, I thought the same. I got some men’s pyjamas instead.

The NEXT design team certainly goes all in when they choose the latest theme!! Last year it was bloody highland cows plastered over everything 🤣 Prior to that it was Cockapoos!!

I think it’s a great nightie. I’d buy it!

I saw these in Next. I did a double take, hideous.

I would buy it, too! I think it's great - but obviously we're all different. It'd be a boring world if we weren't.

Hope your op goes well :).

Our family in joke is about capybaras, long before they were popular. I’ve just purchased this, thank you so much for finding it for me!

DefinitelyNotMaybe · 27/08/2026 15:20

Ooh I love that garish blue shirt! Might have to have a look online.

Ah cute. Giant rodents that eat their own poop. (Not by accident, by design). What's not to love??!
