Clothing flaws

[Ivo]

I wanted to say high heels, but they've been. Instead, what about fingerless gloves? Surely the point of a glove is to keep the whole hand warm, so why would you have the fingers (and thumb) hanging out the other end?

People who wear shorts and sandals when it clearly isn't summer (whatever summer is in the UK anymore I don't know). These people deserve frostbite.

Oh thank you (!) What about those of us that don't feel the cold that easily? I go through stints of wearing almost always shorts for months on end or almost always jogging bottoms or trousers for months on end. At the minute it's the latter, but last year I wore shorts all winter! Nothing wrong with walking through snow in shorts!

Fashion.... Sense?

Not really an item of clothing,but apparently there was a fashion for wearing glasses with plain glass them simply as a fashion accessory...all I can say is,it's a good job whoever came up with that idea didn't decide on an iron lung instead!

As a spectacle wearer, all I can say is anyone wanting to wear glasses for a fashion accessory is mad. Can I swap and have their good eyesight? They can then have my bad eyesight and a reason to look "fashionable" .

Is it me or are there a lot of 'silly hats' about as well? Everyone between 18 and 25 always seems to be wearing a silly hat.

Fingerless gloves have a very good use, if you need to operate machinery or a weapon, where you need to feel the equipment at your fingertips, once you've been wearing the gloves for a period of time, your circulation catches up and keeps your fingertips warm down to about -5C.

I'm not wearing a silly hat... Nor do I have any of this fashion sense.

Got a few funny looks on Friday going out in shorts lol

Ties. What's the point ?

My silly hat is a spare civil Enforcement officers hat with double yellow lines on it...at least people know not to park on me

There are numerous advantages to ties. Primarily when a tie-wearer drops food or spills a drink it will inevitably end up on their tie rather than their shirt. As ties can be easily removed with minimal embarrassment, this is a good alternative to damaging your shirt.

Plus good for first aid!

Good point. I hadn't thought of that.

If you had a proper kipper tie you might not even need to take it off !

UGG boots. £180 a pop and the first time they get wet or see a snow flake they soak it up like a sponge, stink, then shrink. Worst purchase ever. I'll stick to my £20 wellies from now on.

Are they not originally intended as long slippers? Indoor wear only, just designed for cold conditions.

 

[Nym]

SO you're saying that expensive designer products are no good, really, never seen that before...

If you're thinking about using one for a tourniquet, sure I read recently that in many cases they were being misused and could be causing more harm than good. I think the advice is to only use them where there is a readily apparent risk of someone dying due to exsanguination

£180 for a pair of shoes!? For that price I could buy 18 pairs from Shoezone. Sure they'll only last a few weeks, but with 18 pairs they'll last longer than a pair of Uggs.

Note for environmentalists: I kid. I'd rather spend say £40 on a decent pair even if Shoezone would last longer for the same price. I don't like buying shoes.

 

[ChrisCooper]

Of cource you can always get cheap uggs, made in China where the animals used to make them are kept in awful conditions before the lucky ones are anally electrocuted, but many are skinned alive (helps the skin come off).

The worst thing is the girls who wear then in summer, generally with shorts or a miniskirt :roll:

And the problem with that is ?

And the expensive ones aren't?

It can bring a little bit of sick into the back of my mouth when I see a woman dressed like that, and seeing men dressed provocatively so they can be objectified as sexual objects usually results in social stigma or bring asked to cover up, or in some cases being arrested.

 

[Badger]

But dressing is only "provocative" to the provocator (is that a word?). Maybe they don't want to be objectified as sexual objects, they just want to wear something cool?

 

[Temple Meads]

Not this one again :roll:
Lets stay on topic shall we?

 

[Nym]

One could express that a flaw of crotchless chaps and a sled harness is that one would be arested for only wearing these items in public?

 

[Kernowfem]

I'm not saying EVERYTHING designer is pants. I have a jacket made my a well known country wear company that cost a lot, but 8 years later i'm still wearing it. Nor do i favour murdering cute furry animals for fashion purposes, i bought one pair, they were crap, never again!

And i'll never wear them again, let alone in the summer with mini skirts....i dont own a mini skirt, i dont have the legs for them nor is my fashion sense inclined towards knicker skimming items

 

[Nym]

Oh yeah, some designer stuff works, such as Oakley sunglasses, or Dickies workwear, but most of these 'brands' where formed on the basis of practical equipment that then became fashionable, but they have not lost their way to making fassion only equipment, like some manufacturers have.

Indeed, fully agree with you Nym.

Doc Martens springs to mind as one of those that have sadly finally lost their way. I know they still do decent shoes but they're hard to get hold of as my Dad found.

I tend to go for Magnum or CAT for boots... but then again, my last set of Magnums cost in excess of £200...

I am now seeing adverts at the top of the page for UGG boots!

They somehow crop up for me on here regularly, no rhyme or reason, like those Thomas Cook ones, never googled or gone on websites for either..

 

[SwindonPkwy]

Feel free to shoot me down, though, I assure you that I don't want this to come over as sexist.

Far from being flawed, I find high heels on Mrs Pkwy to be very effective indeed. When doing presentations she needs to "dress to impress." By the way, her audience is both male and female.
