Everyone has some style, brand, colour or “look” that they won’t wear. Either it’s deeply unflattering, ethically unsound or you just don’t like it.
Mine are the following: Real fur
Feels nice, but yucky when you think about it for any period of time.
Coulottes/gaucho pants/clam diggers etc
I’m short, my legs need every inch I can give them.
The colour orange
Not a good look with sallow skin.
And finally
Ethnic clothing
I’m racially ambiguous enough to look like I actually am Indian/Chinese/Romany when wearing the appropriate clothing. Which would be fine if I was of whichever ethnicity and could take pride in my heritage and culture, but since I’m not, I don’t see why I should make my life more difficult. I can live much more happily without racist insults.
Flats - is there anything more unflattering to the female leg?
Tube tops or strapless dresses - I will re-think this when they come up with a strapless bra that actually works on breasts that are bigger than an A cup.
I’m here to tell you that they don’t work on A cups, either. The only time I ever wore a strapless anything that didn’t feel like it was going to slide down was when I wore a long-line strapless bra under my wedding dress. Since it sat on my hips it wasn’t going anywhere, but ugh, not comfortable. Not something I exactly want to pursue as everyday wear. So no strapless or spaghetti strap stuff for me.
Capri pants VERY suck. Although I will indulge the Laura Petrie style on perfectly shaped women with perfect legs. I believe there are about seven women in the US that fit the description.
I don’t do turtlenecks. Always hated 'em. I don’t like the way they look and I don’t like the way they feel.
I don’t do ruffles. Nuh uh. Forget it.
And I sure as hell don’t do capris. Gee, look, it’s a flashback of every pair of too-short pants I ever had in my young life, come back to taunt me with how miserably uncool I was. No thanks.
