Trends you'll be glad to see the back of.

I love my white Superdry trainers. Great with dresses and jeans and skirts and everything really. It's not a uniform just a nice summery look.

You just don’t get it do you?

Some of the posts on here are miserable, and funny.

Perhaps Jane’s posts aren’t for you?
I don’t know why people comment on posts just to pour cold water
on them etc etc…

Oh for gods sake stop being so miserable and lighten up ?

Sorry I wasn't being completely serious. But can I ask you to consider something. We are all human beings with stuff going on in our lives, some serious and some not so serious. Some of us will feel well today, some of us wont. Some of us will feel happy today, some of us wont. How you post, whether negative or positive can have an impact on someone just like the spoken word can in real life. There is absolutely no reason for being personal with one another.

Snowberry you really are coming across as a self appointed style police.
Why do you ‘wish people were more adventurous’.
I bet you a pound to a penny that you aren’t a fan of adventurous sartorial choices either!

^I'd like to see the end of women our age in strappy tops with bra straps showing, and stripy tops with an anchor on!^

They can be such heavy things to lug around.
Why not cut it off?

Yes what's with that anchor?
Is it a logo off something?

I really love the long floral dress and white trainer look - it seems so comfy!

Amber I'm not against trainers and dresses. I think it's the white trainers I have the problem with.
There are so many different coloured trainers out there. Why are people being so boring and sticking to white?
It looks like a uniform.
I do a lot of running plus i have two other outdoorsy hobbies that means I spend most of my life in trainers, but they're in fab colours. Bright blue, pink and black, black and gold. Just bought a green pair wirh gold stars (which look nicer than they sound)
So as you can see I am a fan of trainers.
Just wish people would be more adventurous wirh the styles and colours instead of the uniform of long flowy dress + white trainers + denim jacket.

Surely they contribute to a thread to express their own opinion?
Disagreeing with OP is not the same as pouring cold water on it

I like trainers with dresses too. There are some right miserable posts on this thread

Maybe this thread isnt for you?
Never understand why people go on threads just to pour cold water on it
Tis a mystery.

Long floral dresses with trainers is a nice look and practical - one item of clothing and comfortable footwear! Unfortunately at 5'2" and a bit I'm too short to carry this off.

I'm the same with the strappy tops on women of a certain age.
I think something happens to women's upper arms as they get older.
Even the most toned arms get all doughy and soft looking and it's much classier to have a short sleeve than no sleeve.

I like trainers with dresses too. There are some right miserable posts on this thread

And, yes, I'd wear these (and the hiking socks) with a dress. Anyone who has a problem with that is the person with the problem.

My feet get really uncomfortable in sandals. They get all sweaty and slippery.
I acknowledge that I am quite a sweaty person. I am very heat intolerant, so it must be my body trying to regulate its temperature.
I bloody hate Summer

Wear cotton socks with your sandals. Or get some Red or Dead sandals like these. I wear these with hiking socks.

As someone who was in my late teens/20s in the 1960s, I would not dream of making any comment on fashion trends and those who wear them.

I can remember the fulminations of parents and pundits in the press about our short skirts, long hair, heavy eye make-up etc etc.

Why not have fun with clothes and wear things that older people tut over. That is what being young is about. And as you get older, why limit what you wear to the 'age appropriate' clothing people keep going on about. Frankly there is nothing more laughable that GN's 'How to dress over 50' guide to age appropriate clothing.

So I am not going to list any trends I am waiting to see the back of. Of course there are fashion trends, that , personally, I do not like, but whenever I am tempted to tut. I just remind myself that i was a 60s chick and how much we enjoyed wearing clothes that older people disapproved of.

Here's another vote for dresses with trainers. Practical and comfortable. I wear jeggings in the winter but would really prefer to buy jegging type trousers that are wider in the leg, I'm still looking for some.
Other dislikes:
over made-up young women (such a shame)
very long padded coats (walking duvets)
harem trousers (divide at the knee - just weird)
teddy coats on large ladies
long painted finger nails
pointed shoes (my dad warned me off winkle pickers and I ignored him - he was right though)
jeans that trail on the ground (why?)

Sadly, my shoulders are at least as old as the rest of me!

Yes Coastpath Especially if not at home and the floor isn’t clean for trailing bits ?

Farzanah I live in dungarees! So comfy. Only problem is going to the loo - such a faff.

I wear long floral dresses with trainers Riverwalk and am 5”1. I wear what I find practical and comfortable. I also like dungarees.

cropped tops. I don't mean the tiny things that show off a midriff, but ordinary t-shorts, cardigans and blouses that only come down to the waist. I also dislike jeans with rips in - a friend of mine wears them (she's size 20 and aged 64). I don't like to see them on young people, never mind those who are more mature
