Any variant on the sexy secretary look

ie pussy bow blouses and pencil skirts

They do not make you look like Miss Moneypenny but like the temp at a failing double glazing company in Rotherham who has too many cats and a crush on Noel Edmonds

the reason women wear 36b's instead of 32f's is that 32f's averege cost is about £20 per bra, and 36b's are about £5 - someone is making a huge profit out of girls with norks

drlove8 · 09/02/2009 17:02

thumb any links to make your own nork-holsters?

drlove8 · 09/02/2009 17:16

dearstalkers - so john mcCRIRICK LOL

francagoestohollywood · 09/02/2009 17:25

I dislike cropped trousers on both women and men.

RiaParkinson · 09/02/2009 17:33

biker jackets on men over 30

fine on bikers btw!

RiaParkinson · 09/02/2009 17:33

cropped trousers on men >

lumpsdumps · 09/02/2009 17:36

I'm afraid I disagree on the white studded unitard, but with one specific proviso - you must be in a circus trapeeze act!

spugs · 09/02/2009 17:39

Bigger bras arent that bad price wise, £20 for 2 in debenhams. I hate ill fitting bras on women, 4 tits look awful! makes me want to drag them into bravissamo and get fitted.
Also women who are over an A cup and dont wear sportsbras in the gym, its got to hurt.
I must admit to having a pair of fake croccs that i wear around the house

TsarChasm · 09/02/2009 17:44

Couples that go out in matching clothes

Also naval inspired leisurewear that ladies of a certain age wear. Sue Perkins called it 'Nautique' I believe. Aye aye captain

What I'm getting at here is CottonTraders I think

hazeyjane · 09/02/2009 19:03

Well I really thought that I didn't agree with anything on this thread, because to me someone who wears a fleece with a labrador on it probably does so because they feel the cold and like dogs ( my aunty for example ), so whilst it might, in my eyes, be a spectacularly unattractive item of clothing, i don't think it is 'wanky' (which I interpret as pretentious, trying to be something it's not etc).

Then, today i saw a couple loading their shopping into their 4x4 outside Waitrose, wearing matching Drizabone coats and hats, and i thought 'ooh now that's wanky'

I still think (hope!) that plaits are ok, because I wear my hair in them a lot when it is looking scraggy.

Numberfour · 09/02/2009 19:48

I love this thread!

blinks · 09/02/2009 22:56

mine just keep a-comin-

designer bags

bandanas

football strips as casual wear

ThumbLoveWitch · 09/02/2009 22:59

best ill-fitting bra pic I could find!

Agree with matching full-length drizas in Waitrose car park being seriously wanky.

Don't agree with plain fleeces being wanky - bloody useful garment, fleeces;
but any with any type of logo/applique, or worse still, pawprints (on adult clothes) = SERIOUSLY wanky imo.

Swedes · 09/02/2009 23:02

T-shirts that say "Bop Bitch" or "Bitch" or "Bunny".

Swedes · 09/02/2009 23:07

Leggings.
Ultra high waisted trousers on men.
Bum bags.

ThumbLoveWitch · 09/02/2009 23:12

Swedes, I take issue with your saying bumbags - they are extremely useful, only NOT worn on the bum! I always had mine as a tumbag - MUCH more sensible to have it round the front where you can keep a hand/eye on it and reach your stuff!

Swedes · 09/02/2009 23:17

ThumbLoveWitch My partner loves his bumbag. When I started going out with him I wondered whether I could ever learn to accept his bumbag.

ThumbLoveWitch · 09/02/2009 23:22

And have you? - I have to admit, I'd be a bit more about men wearing them...

Swedes · 09/02/2009 23:37

Why I barely notice his appendage now.

ThumbLoveWitch · 09/02/2009 23:38
  • been together a long time now, have you?
TsarChasm · 10/02/2009 09:20

Lets not stray too far into manbag territory.

Useful maybe, and yet and yet...men and bags...

Belgianchocolates · 10/02/2009 09:46

-Agree with short sleeved jackets and short jumpers - why oh why 3/4 sleeved jumpers fall in the same category. Had a frustrating time this winter finding long sleeved maternity tops, they were all 3/4: haven't they seen the weather!

  • 3/4 length combats, any combats on women imo, it's just not feminine.
  • Fleeces except for when you go hiking or something and NEVER with polar bears, deer etc... on
  • Don't agree on the UGG's (though do agree about the ugg/velvet tracksuit combo) Mine have kept my feet lovely and warm this winter.
