Those Jojo bows. Horrendous looking yokes with a serious hint of my big fat gypsy wedding off them.

Young fellas with those ludicrous haircuts. They all have them.

Tracksuit pants tucked into white socks. Wtf is that about?

In fairness young fellas with ridiculous haircuts has been a constant since I was a teenager many years ago - Donny Osmond look anyone? A bit more creativity in the last twenty years but the same thing essentially. And the ladies are probably just as indifferent to it now as then.

Sorry but skinny jeans do look good on some people. I have really skinny legs, like a bird, and other types of jeans don't look as nice. Ditto with high waisted jeans, they look good on me cos of my shape; low rise and medium rise don't fit right and look strange on me. How people are calling them mom jeans is beyond me: see attached pics.


Bodysuits are the best thing ever; it's like having a top tucked in without it balling up underneath your pants or skirt. Gives a smooth silhouette.

I like high waisted jeans when they're tight on the legs like skinny jeans, they can be very flattering to some shapes.
"Mom" jeans are different though. They're high waisted but are baggy in the leg area and a lot of women roll them at the bottom. I don't like them.

Hope bodysuits stay in fashion for a long time. I love them.

Same here...they're a nightmare on a night out when you've a few drinks and you haven't a hope of closing them so you have to let them open and they roll up around your waist.Even with no drink they're a nightmare to open and close imo.

The pic I posted earlier of the hot model in the navy "cold shoulder" top. That's a body suit.

I've never had a problem with the opening and closing of them. Drunk or not :P

No - a romper suit has legs, be them long or short. A romper suit would be akin to an adult playsuit. A body suit would be similar to a baby vest, if we're using those analogies!

I didn't notice the clothes

Now forgive me for being ignorant on this.....is that not a swimming costume?
Which leads e to my next question. Can you wear a body suit swimming?

Bodysuits are grand but jumpsuits are the absolute devil to get in/out of on a night out. Need to pee? You have to get undressed in the cubicle. I have one in particular that is zipped so when that's worn out you need someone to zip you back up.

Well no, it opens at the bottom, with poppers or hook and eye jobbies.

You could wear anything swimming! But no, it's like t-shirt material - or whatever material the equivalent top would be so wouldn't be very water friendly. Wet t-shirt competition on the other hand.....

I bought this jumpsuit just before Christmas, had never had one before, but totally fell in love with it. I never wear jeans/trousers so assumed it would be rank on me but ordered it to see. Got it delivered to my mam's and tried it on. Loved it. Got my mam to help me get into it, and then called her again to get me out of it.

Was in the sitting room then and my dad says "out of interest, how will you get in and out of it when your mam isn't there and you need to go to the toilet" :pac::pac::pac:

So I actually practised getting it on and off until I had it down to a fine art, was too bloody nice to send back

So it's essentially a stylish large baby vest that would be excellent in wet t-shirt contests. Got it

I truely do learn alot abot clothes here in After Hours.

Anyone for an atomic wedgie?

seachto7

Not sure if it's an Irish thing, but it seems to be mainly Irish women doing it: CAKED in makeup. Very unattractive, and if it's a fashion thing, jaysus....

When you see stuff like that you begin to wonder if women's' fashion is actually sexist towards women.

Edit: Saw the second pic. Please carry on.

I've seen 3 separate young wans in the last week wearing a bikini top/bra with nothing over it on nights out. One was wearing a bra and just a layer of see-through fabric "covering" her knickers. Wtf is that about? It's winter. In Ireland. Put some clothes on :eek:

It's horrible, and if smoking is supposed to be fashion trend, that's even more disgusting. :pac::pac:

Not in mainland European countries. You go on nights out there and women are more into minimal makeup and no/less fake tan than the Irish.

and French women tend not to shave.

Why oh why oh why do people think fake tan makes them look better? It doesn't. It's fake tan. You're Irish. You're pale. That's fine. That's not a bad thing.
Inches of slap and dyed hair seems to be heavily weighted towards Irish/UK women, based on my observances in Spain last week!
Not to say they're perfection on the continent either, but I think many of them lay off the warpaint.

to be fair to fake tan its not all bad, done right it can look quite well, unfortunately you dont see that too often

meeeeh

Yeah, fake tan really wouldn't be a thing on continent. Where I come from we much prefer skin cancer.

Actually spotted novelty-type onesies for men in a department store a few months back.

Call me a traditionalist and a prude but the word wrong doesn't even begin to go there.
