In fact headfairy, Jeremy Clarkson himself could be the epitome of wankiness imo

HeadFairy · 09/02/2009 10:08

jem.... we could add middle aged men wearing surfing shorts to the list!

shrugs
short jumpers (i.e. that end just under the bust - WHY?)
the jeans that teenage boys wear that they do up under their arses

golfers

Middle aged men with beer belly in Speedo. Yukky. Middle aged men in surfing shorts are just men trying to enjoy life. Men in cardigans are just trying to stay warm & comfy. I like them it means that DH is stay home to cuddly me, some wine and Dean Martin on the gramophone

eh?

Gavin from gav and stacey looks lovely in his ironic cardigan. Nice worn with a polo shirt.

My list

Ballet pumps on adults, passable on teens cute on little girls. To me a grown women in ballet pumps looks out of proportion. outdoor slippers

Couples in matching fleeces - well all adults in fleeces really.

ugg boots

crocs

chinos

anything beige

anything from the new MS collection for over 45 - church warden gear

Fimbo · 09/02/2009 14:05

Old wifey fleeces - the ones with dogs or cats all over them.

Fimbo · 09/02/2009 14:10

This is possibly the worst piece of clothing I have ever seen.

starbear · 09/02/2009 14:20

Oi!ThePgHedgeWitchIsCrankyBeware I'll have you know I'm wearing Vivienne Westwood DIY right now. I ran it up last night after I cooked a gourment meal and cleaned the house from top to bottom!

Satin shirts - shiny ones, particularly if on men and/or in cerise or jade green.

starbear · 09/02/2009 14:37

satin dresses unless you stand very very still!

Ruby2shoes · 09/02/2009 14:47

Wearing the collar up on ones polo/rugby shirt, keeps ones neck warm did'nt you know!

atowncalledalice · 09/02/2009 15:04

I like Jack Wills, Uggs and gilets. So do DS1's friends (17 year olds) - I think I may have to rethink my personal fashion concept

LouIsAHappyLittleVegemite · 09/02/2009 15:29

Fimbo - do they do one in labrador? Would go well with the cords.

Fimbo · 09/02/2009 16:33

Lou - just for you. Handbag available too!

sassy · 09/02/2009 16:37

Fimbo - that is genius!!!! oh roffle roffle >

LouIsAHappyLittleVegemite · 09/02/2009 16:39

Oh brilliant!

Fimbo · 09/02/2009 16:43

Well Mamma Mia is the feeling good film if you are ever feeling down and now I have found the shopping equivilent.

Not-supportive-enough-bras on anyone over a B cup.

That counts for you 36B-wearers who are in denial about their actual size of 32F. Embrace it, it means you are slimmer than you thought. And for God's sake get yourself some scaffolding!
