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.

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!

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!!

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?
