Crop anything. Why can’t shops just make normal length tops? Not everyone wants cropped shirts all the time.

Those tops that look normal at first glance but then you turn them around and they have some bizzare quirky thing written on the back.

People are soon going to revive the other famous Buffalo shoes:

I remember wanting these so badly when I was a teenager. I would day dream about them daily. I never got them and got the 00 version of the Stan Smith instead. Whoever is currently thinking about bringing these back into fashion needs to stay put!



To be honest, even the High Street shops have turned to crap. Zara used to have great quality clothing up until 2018. Now, it's trying to compete with the Boohoos and the Nasty gals of the world and has turned most of its items into poor quality tacky items meant for teenagers. I don't even go there anymore personally as it's too expensive for such low quality. I won't even discuss H&M as I've always hated this shop and it's been crap since day 1. Massimo Dutti is geared towards another age group/customer base and I find it to be one of the most decent "fast fashion" brands out there. We all saw what happened to Topshop and Forever21 in the end. River Island isn't too far off either. It's still stuck in 2014 - they keep recycling the same designs over and over again. Every single time I walk past that store, it's empty.
buffalos appear to be making a comeback too judging by my trip to London yesterday! i went to some k pop shop with my daughter where we had to queue outside..vast majority of those ahead of us were wearing them !
Totally agree with Zara ..when they 1st arrived here their clothes and shoes were great for both adults and children. Lovely fabrics and really unusual colours making them stand out from the usual high street clothes.unfortunately then i wasnt the right size or shape for them! when i lost weight few years ago their clothes were just awful all crop tops and mega short dresses /skirts or mega long trousers or shapeless dresses that made you look frumpy. i think they've lost their way a bit, and their kids clothes are awful now scruffy looking and drab ..ugly even..i mean who would really put their kids in a monstrosity like this (other than some insta mum).

Zara is really overpriced too.

I was in River Island yesterday and frankly, most of their clothing needs a 70s style flammable warning to go with it all. And a public information film.

Trying to find myself a nice midi dress and everything has either a square neck or puffy sleeves and frills. Why

Where have you tried? Maybe the more ‘conservative’ sites might be better, like Oasis, Wallis, Next etc. I say conservative because even the staple shops seem to be more designed for the super young these days!

Try Jigsaw or some slightly upmarket brand, I find them better in not blindly following trends

I think there's also something to be said about city girls wearing their fancy "bras" as a "top" under an open jacket or shirt. No girl, it's a bra, not a top and you're not in Miami.

Also back in the day - leather or denim shorts with opaque tights. What were people thinking I wonder.

Yesterday I saw a woman in a longline lace bra, totally see through, with a normal black bra underneath! Awful

Everything being cropped currently. Probably only 1% of the population can pull that off. And don’t get me started on naval piercings! 🙄

Off topic, but does anyone ever look back at old photos and wonder why they got rid of certain items of clothing? Especially when you realise that you’ve spent months looking for the exact same item to buy online! 🤯
