I wear black, blue, green, purple, grey or brown. That’s it, though I’m open to many shades in those colors. No red, white, orange, yellow, or pink.
I don’t wear t-shirts with writing and logos on them much - I prefer not to, but there are still a few kicking around.
I also do not do turtlenecks or pleated pants. I don’t wear jeans.
I’d wear fur that somebody else already bought, but I wouldn’t buy it new. I’ll wear hats at the drop of one, but I prefer fedoras to baseball caps.
Mostly I wear the same thing all the time: dark slacks (often corderoy) and a button-down collared shirt in a solid color over a t-shirt or tank top, and boots.
Heels- I just know I’ll twist my ankle wearing them
Earth tones- we spent ten thousand years of human history developing dyes so we wouldn’t have to walk around looking like mud.
Velvet/Velveteen/Velour/Cordoroy- can’t stand the feel.
Anything sparkly - I’m older than 5
Low rise pants - They look like crap on me.
Yellow/Yellow-based colors/Pastels - makes me look like death warmed over.
Crew neck sweaters/t-shirts - I hate anything that comes up too close to my collar bone; I feel like I’m choking. I always wear v-necks or scoop necks.
Anything cheaply made - I don’t want clothes that will fall apart after one washing.
Also, the style can’t be too faddish. I never wore those shirts with the thin 3/4 inch collar that went straight up and I’m still not a 3 button suit guy yet, prefering the conventional 2 instead.
Orange – I’m a fair skinned brunette and it makes me look like a corpse
Gauchos
Pleated pants
Anything that shows a visible panty line
Strapless tops – I’m too broad shouldered
Low rise pants
Anything that is too short, too tight, or both
I will, however, wear:
Pink, cuz it’s my favorite color and looks really good with my complexion
Capri pants, if they don’t bell at the bottom
Ruffles or sequins (sparingly)
And I loved most of the stuff in that Lilly Pulitzer catalog!
Opposite to a lot of posters, the only colors that actually look good on me are earth tones and yellowy or orangy colors.
I don’t wear gray. I’d love to, I look completely washed out. I don’t wear white either, unless it’s mixed with other color pieces, or else I look like a piece of paper.
I don’t wear skirts, mostly cause I’m no longer proud of my legs.
Sandals, including flip-flops.
Boat shoes.
Loafers, especially the kind with the feminine kiltie thing on them.
Slippers.
Work boots, unless I’m on a construction site. (That never happens.)
Anything “cowboy”.
Anything athletic, especially track pants / sweat shirts.
Shorts.
A “wife-beater” undershirt.
Any jewellery that isn’t my wedding ring.
Text or logos of any kind, unless they say “Levi Strauss” on a leather patch on the waistline. I refuse to pay to be a walking billboard for anyone.
No company logos of any kind on anything.
Beige or that pukey green color they’ve got out now.
Narrow high heeled shoes, life is just too short.
Thong underwear.
Short tops, low bottoms.
No orange, yellow (unless a very pale yellow), or pink.
No gauchos.
No capris (except for a very specific cut that doesn’t make me look dumpy - only found 2 of these ever).
Strapless tops / dresses (I’m with the poster above on the strapless bra problem).
Turtlenecks (oddly enough though I’m addicted to scarves, maybe it’s because I can remove them if I want to).
I have been living a sweater-free life for years and I’m not going to change that in the foreseeable future. Whenever I wear one, I get sick a few days later.*
