Items you could never wear

Mohair sweaters, but only because I am pretty sure I am allergic to mohair.

sarahel, JNCO and Kikwear were huge bellbottoms worn by ravers between say 1995 and 2000.

hipster onesies - or whatever they call those things that are a shapeless tunic + culottes

xp - ah thank you - by that point i was "safely" in adulthood

I totally rocked that bellbottoms look in 1997ish! Not as a raver, though.
Strapless boob tubes that are elasticated around the top. Look totally weird on me.
Also most A-line skirts, and I am pretty skinny. They just look so odd on my legs.

Empire-waist tunics/dresses, but I think they look unflattering on most everybody. I also can't seem to wear white sneakers without looking like a huge dork.

JNCOS were my thing for a while the first couple years of college. I loved the shit out of those things. I still prefer wide leg jeans. I can either do slim and straight or wide leg trouser jeans but that's about it.

Sarahel I can't really see why an A-line dress would make anyone look pregnant. Do you mean empire waist? Those are pure evil.

I can't wear red lipstick because my lips are too big and I look like a clown. I also can't really wear heels higher than 2 inches because then I'm over 6 feet and can't walk at all.

xp - yeah, empire waist!!!

Oh yeah - they're rarely a good idea.

i am sort of opposed to the idea that items i could never wear exist, on principle, but those spaghetti strap long dresses that people wore over baby tees in the '90s looked horrible on me.

ginormous batwing shirts -- you make me look lost
i will never wear you

Yeah, I would like to be the kind of crazy art teacher lady who wears sculpturally draped tunics and geometric flowing things but they all give the impression I am swimming in shapeless mushy fabric. You need shoulders and height for those. RIP my dreams.

RIP

i only started even considering tunics. being short is a style hazard.

like, nice pajamas middle schooler is not the look i'm going for

Can you live in my brain? Wd appreciate yr commentary on all areas of life.

lolling at "nice pajamas middle schooler" still.

dudes, there are so many things i would never wear, so many...
and yet, here i am wanting, desiring, a pair of skin-tight black leather pants

or maybe just a pair of cheapo h&m faux-leather leggings

Wife beaters!

Aviators!

Wallet chain!

lol those three things are like a uniform for some people

shoes, men's shoes, with a buckle or buckles. ack!

I really don't think I could wear a baja

cosine the buckles on shoes. Horrible.

I think they look great with knickers.

ok that's really not an image i needed

In the English speaking world, in particular United Kingdom, Ireland, some Commonwealth countries, and occasionally in United States, knickers is a word that is used to describe women's and occasionally (but quite rarely) men's underpants and undergarments, women's lingerie, and for sports pants sportswear. In the United States it more commonly used as a short form for Knickerbockers, a type of golfing pants, also called Plus fours.

like i said

either way

meant women's panties, natch

hi guys!!!!

I have such a list of these.

Pink
Yellow
shorts
sneakers/tennis shoes
athletic wear of any sort unless I am actually exercising (I don't exercise really anyway)
baggy pants
capri pants
pants in general really, I don't have much beyond a couple pairs of skinny jeans
anything too hippie (poncho, bells etc)
anything patterned (exception: stripey tops and tights)
anything navy or white unless it's a really good band t-shirt
any shade of brown (including gold trim/hardware/jewelry)
open-toed shoes
shoes that are not black (would make an exception for the right red or silver)

this sounds kind of awful but it is easy to get dressed I guess

I probably share like 80% of those, teeny. I'm a red, white, and black dresser; haet brown, esp brown shoes. I make exceptions for patterns I like but florals are almost always a terrible idea (for me). Etc.!

Hi Teeny :-)

I won't wear shorts, capris (my legs are too short for them), or hair dye.

My hangup with capris is they're so Mormon. BYU won't let you wear shorts on campus so all the girls wear capris, making them look prematurely old, IMO.

Tho I have super short friends who appreciate the existence of capris as regular length pants.

i only wear capris that are just below the knee, and only with cute shoes
looks cute and 50s rather than sad and 00s

Yeah I am thinking the ones that are 4 or 5 inches above your ankle that have like elastic toggles, and cargo pockets, things like that, are the unwearable ones.

you don't have to be super short to appreciate these - you just need to have a bit too much junk in the trunk ... and thighs

would rather walk barefoot over broken glass and used needles than wear Crocs

Those are called pedal pushers, and I do wear those on occasion. Regular capris make my legs look even shorter than they are. (I'm a 5'6" woman with the legs of a 4'11" one.)

Skechers Shape-Ups
the ugly shoes that say "I think I'm fat!"

Hopefully no one here owns a pair...ok.

Also, I am a little incredulous that they actually do anything, you know?

they protect the soles of your feet from the longest rusty tetanus nails, but not much else i don't think
pokey shards of glass, i guess

* when you step in poop, it will be an inch or two further away from your actual foot/sock

* raises the hem of those elastic waistband pants you like so much and ensures that they don't drag in the dirt when you walk

* sort of has that creeper look so when you get them at the thrift you can lie and say you're going for a certain aesthetic instead of just wearing ugly used shoes

whoops -- it's sized for a large husky man, looks like it was bought at a rural gas station in the 80s, dingy gray in color and festooned with a saggy jowled canine

and it's $72

this is a different model but same shirt

Ew.

i'm surprised it doesn't come with pre-stained pits

Of all the things I don't want from my clothes, looking like a starving unloved child who is literally disappearing into a dirty rag is near the top of the list.

I get the appeal of baggy clothes that feel snuggly etc, I LIVE in 20-year-old tshirts at home. But they don't have the same studied effect of erasing me from sight or making me look small and insignificant.

For $70.

I was marching behind two very very small women yesterday and it was like, how do ppl treat you when you never get bigger than a small 12yo? I bet it's not super duper funtimes somehow.

V. Neck. Tees.
Hate them with a white hot intensity.

V necks are my very favorite, on tees and any other item of clothing (blouses, dresses, sweaters, etc.).

Alas, I am a woman with a nice rack, if I do say so myself. Deep v-necks on men are obv a thing now and I'm not so crazy about the look on dudes as on women.

i like vnecks on everyone
why to hate them with such an intensity?

i hate v-necks on men too. especially the super deep ones. ughhhhhhh

i am with LL, viva la v neck

On guys they look either The Gap Zombie or... eurotrash. They look great on girls.

They look good on anyone imo. Just cuz someone wears generic clothes doesn't mean they're a zombie! Lotsa interesting ppl come in plain packages.

#normcore

V necks are very "out" rn but I don't mind them nec

My biggest pet peeve rn is the septum piercing which I'm afraid to state publicly

Depends on the V - a deep one is very Red Carpet Now.

Eg. http://www.usmagazine.com/uploads/assets/articles/82281-lupita-nyongo-wins-2015-sag-awards-red-carpet-in-elie-saab-gown-pics/1422238343_lupita-nyong-o-zoom-03.jpg

She could wear anything, on or out, and still look amazing.

Alas, I am a woman with a nice rack, if I do say so myself.

you are otm! I am v fond of v necks due to rackage + a short neck

otm

Maybe V-necks got American Apparel-ized and that's why everyone hates them? Not sure. They're my favorite bc I dislike being choked also I am short and welcome vertical lines.

^^^^

V necks are the most flattering for the larger boobed among us to wear for sure. I am medium of boob size and prefer either a deep scoop or V.

Overall though boatnecks are my favorite because I love how classic they are and because they help balance out my shoulder and hips.

this is the dumbest most pointless garment i have seen in a long time
i have no idea what its purpose is other than to make one's chest look like felix the cat
http://g.nordstromimage.com/ImageGallery/store/product/Large/19/_11971079.jpg

it was billed as a "bralette" which i thought was supposed to be a functional garment/a small bra

i loathe shopping

is that a fetish garment? like a slightly more demure spanking skirt for boobs?

Idk!! I found it in the everyday bra selection and was like o_O

Bras are kind of weird now, that's what I gathered
