'Fashion' hates

Thankyou Tegan2! Ok, I am going to order some “slim” jeans and try to summon up the courage to wear them ...

Fur-lined knickers? Now there’s a thought. As for scarves well I am clearly with the rest of you untrendies, as I wear them all the time. Well, most of the time. Nobody had warned me that they had gone out of fashion. Not that it would bother me as I like them and I won’t be turning them into Craghoppers. I still have a pair of those from my walking days but I don’t think I’ll be doing any “proper” walking again, alas.

We could start a new trend!

?

I am working it out as I type; I could sew up the sides of the pashminas to make two legs and attach them to some nice fur-lined knickers

Oh no! Don't tell me that!!!?

I have so many scarves I could have Craghoppers with multi-coloured pockets all over them.

I also have pashminas - very passé!

Depends how long they are. You may be able to fashion a pair of multicoloured Craghoppers from them..

I bought two new ones a few weeks ago, to go with two new jumpers which have rather wide necks

Perhaps I should turn them into leggings/jeggings

Can anyone suggest to do with the dozens of " unfashionable" scarves I have amassed? I thought I was so trendy.

The craze for wearing scarves all the time has passed
Really?
Perhaps my friends, acquaintances and I are all unfashionable; living in the sticks the fashion fads in London pass us by.

I've been wearing scarves since I was tiny - in my very young days they were long, woolly ones which went round your neck, crossed over your chest and got pinned at the back with a large safety pin to keep you warm.
Now I thought I was wearing them in a more stylish way but obviously not

I'd never heard of fur-lined leggings before this thread. It makes me feel itchy even thinking about them!

I've had my fur lined leggings on today with a long polo neck top - they're from Primark and really are warm. I think I have a pair of tights in similar stuff and I've also discovered some similar socks which I've also had on - sitting in front of the pc all day I've still been cold though so gave in and got my slanket out

Carol1954. I bet my legs are as robust as yours [and ditto to being, overall, quite small].Once described as 'good strong walking legs' by a complete stranger when I was a lot younger and slimmer than I am now, I am like a person of two halves. However, I live in leggings and tunics, but try to make sure the tunic is quite chunky round the neck, and I wear Ugg boots that [hopefully] make my calves look slimmer than they actually are.

I didn't know that either NanKate. I didn't even know it was a 'craze', always thought it was a stylish way of dressing . Oh well I shall carry on wearing my scarves, as I haven't read anywhere or heard anyone else say that this is now passé.

I didn't know the craze for wearing scarves has passed because I wear a variety of scarves, my favourites being made of soft velvet in lovely colours. Am I a fashion victim ??

Is this only about trousers or can I moan about necklines? For years now every top and jumper has had a great wide neck. The craze for wearing scarves all the time has passed and most older women need their necks covered.
I want round necked tops and can’t get them.

I have to say that the first few words got my hackles up. How is it 90% of people have been suckered into wearing, but then I wondered if it was just a clever way of getting people to respond to the post. I'm definitely not a sucker.
I have always hated baggy clothes, as they make me look even smaller and heavier than I am. As for long, elastic waist skirts........
I remember 40+ years ago, when I was a student and working in a bar, I bent down to lift a crate of beer and my very tight jeans ripped horizontally across the backside. I had to tie a dishtowel around my waist until my mother brought a replacement pair. I was beetroot with embarrassment. Perhaps I should have been wearing Craghoppers.

Yes, I had noticed that. With not a single post supporting her, she probably feels a bit intimidated, which is a problem if you start a thread that no one agrees with.

But none of us has been nasty about it so I hope this will not stop her posting on other subjects elsewhere.

OP seems to have disappeared MOnica!

leggings ,long tops and knee high boots is my winter uniform ,I hate baggy clothes they just make me look heavier than I am

Re-reading the OP, I found myself getting a bit cross because she assumes anyone who doesn't share her likes/dislikes is a fashion victim. And, I would add, there are many women and girls, with long slim legs who display to advantage in slim fitting leggings and trousers.

I wear Craghoppers for hiking, otherwise I wear bootleg jeans or trousers. I feel that at my age leggings are not appropriate but I wouldn't dream of complaining about what other women wear. My pet fashion hate is big girls wearing cut off tops and shorts in the summer.

8 pockets! You could pack a weeks worth of stuff into them and save on hold luggage!
