  • What I WOULD wear:

    50's/60's style swimsuits- I really don't mind wearing something like that. I think it's so much better than a bikini that goes all the way down to my crotch.
    Here's another photo of what I mean: 50's bikinis

    Romper
    - I can pull off wearing a romper very well.
    (Look at my photo on the left.)

    What I WOULDN'T wear:

    Tiny bikinis- Really now? C'mon. Not necessarily a bikini like that, but just the bikinis that are really tiny and revealing.

    Crocs- Even though many people love them because they are comfortable, I've never been a Crocs person. Ever.
  • Whoah--with a bikini like that, why even wear clothes? I've never seen something so small on 'real' people but would freak out of if I did. I do dig the more vintage swimsuits, though, that old school sexiness.

    Swimsuits are a pain, I have a heck of a time trying to find one that doesn't leave my cheeks hangin' out. I want coverage!

    I've never known what a romper was, or that it was trendy until now. Personally I don't think I could pull it off, I think I'd look like humpty dumpty

    I'm a croc's person. I love 'em, and I think most people forget that there are plenty of other styles besides the clog. They don't hurt my feet and I like the way they look....

    Other things I wouldn't do: hotpants/booty shorts. If I'm driving, and look down at my lap, it shouldn't look like I have underwear on. I want to see some material on my leg.

    Overall I think clothes today are too revealing. If someone wants to be sexy, leave something to the imagination!

    oh, the joys of being an apple shape!! If I didn't wear elastic waists, anything that fit at my waist would be about 3 sizes too big in the butt and thighs. And I can assure you, that is NOT a flattering look! lol! But I wear jersey, yoga pants type knits, not the doubleknit polyester with the fake crease.

    And I also agree about high waisted pants in general. They are just so uncomfortable! I love stuff that not's a super low rise, but a couple of inches below the belly button is just so much more comfortable to wear!
  • With elastic, I'm not referring to stretchy pants. I'm referring to visible elastic waist bands in things like slacks or even jeans.

    Like this:
  • I'm with all the anti elastic waist pants people. My mom is an apple shape, and that is all she can wear, so growing up that's all she bought me. I'm a pear shape. I need some something with a waist. The only thing I have that is elastic waisted besides my panties (high cut, thong or sexy to match my bras), is my work out gear. Also I hate oversize tops. Again was forced to wear them for years. I like a closer fitting shirt.
    I absolutely hate Uggs and Crocs too and printed socks. Give me plain white cotton socks, black socks, or trouser socks.
    I also love thigh high stockings with a garter belt. So much more comfortable (and sexy) than pantyhose.
  • awww- I love colored and patterned socks! So much fun

    I agree with the elastic banded pants. Just terrible, and they do this weird poke out in all the wrong places thing on me.
  • Interesting question!

    #1 is my definition of "granny panties", which essentially means anything that goes up to my waist and has a lower-cut leg. I do not need that much coverage. I don't wear thongs, though...I tend toward bikini or boy short cuts. But they're all *cute*...no more ugly underwear!

    #2 - Shorts. Of all kinds. If it's above the knee, it isn't for me. Same with mini skirts and anything else above the knee. I do not have attractive knees. Period.

    #3 - Shapeless dresses. Muumuus fall into this category, but a nice fitted maxi-dress, even though it provides a lot of coverage, does not. I need my clothes to have some shape to them, because I'm boyishly built and need to emphasize shape whenever I can.

    #4 - Pants suits. When I was bigger and had business meetings, I always wore boxy suits with straight leg pants. Now they make me feel so dowdy and boxy. I wear nice, fitted suits with pencil skirts and feel powerful!
  • I love printed socks. I have the most beautiful sock collection, I'm very picky. www.ozonesocks.com is a big favorite1
  • Oh! The women in my home town wear these wierd, elastic waisted pants that are cotton, with a 'denim' pattern. No one is being fooled! Those are not jeans!!
  • Quote: I've said this before, when someone else asked this question: Anything worn by the cast of the TV shows Jersey Shore, Jerseylicious and Jersey Couture.
    LMAO!
  • Spandex bike shorts stretched to the limit! Especially in metallic purple and hot pink!
    (I've actually seen this in my local K-Mart).

    .
    Jersey Couture? Oxymoron alert! And, by the way, I agree.

    My no-no list includes any shirt, top, t-shirt with a disney cartoon on it. I will walk around in a flannel bedsheet before I'll wear a denim shirt with Pooh on it.

    Just my humble opinion. Not judging anyone who likes those . . .
  • lol. I wore a shirt with Tinkerbell on it today. But I am in the process of weeding out my closet of the too big/out of style/wouldn't be caught dead in items. Getting rid of anything floral, or with a cartoon print on it, only exception out of the cartoon print that I'm keeping is my Winnie the Pooh T-Shirt that says Innocent on it. Since it is rather ironic when I wear it, especially to bed.
    I took a look at that Ozone Socks website, and I have to say I do like the over the knee printed socks.
  • I LOVE Pin up girl clothing!!
    http://www.pinupgirlclothing.com/
    Like 85% of this site, if I was a millionaire, I probably wouldnt buy it all because then I would be broke, but I DO love that style! Women seemed mroe delicate in those and you could still be sexy in a wiggle dress but you are not showing everything ykwim?
