Any top or dress that’s plus sized but at the back they have flimsy little ties to tie around the back, like a bra. Generally if you’re plus sized, you have big tiddies and those things are so diddy that your tiddies will just drop out!

I noticed this last week, I just wanted plain stuff, I liked some of the Disney styles and would have bought them if they were plain
Totally agree, what is the point of those?
Elastic on any clothes. I have a top that I like apart from it has an elasticated waist set too high so am constantly pulling it down. Also elastic on sleeves that cut in and leave marks.
It's not just Primark, Sainsburys are doing the same thing. I've seen a Cruella top in there (I must admit, I was tempted, I bloody love Cruella!) and a load of jumpers with characters from the "Peanuts" comic strip. Wtaf? I would imagine that most women who buy clothes in Sainsburys are edging towards middle-age, if not older, I don't think many of us want to wear Snoopy jumpers to be honest.
And why is it so hard to buy decent plain separates? Try looking for a plain black roll-neck jumper. They're either made of lycra and are far to tight and unflattering for anyone bigger than a size 8, or else they have buttons sewn (badly) onto the cuffs. Or those horrible frilly bits on the shoulders, or, *shudders*, puffy sleeves.
And why do the chain stores have loads and loads of bras and knickers, in lovely colours, but they never match? I'm always picking up lovely bras, then putting them back because they don't sell the matching knickers. I'm bored with plain black and white
Uniqlo are guilty of this- they do some really cool limited edition t-shirt designs FOR MEN ONLY and the womens range gets some twee tit like kids cartoon crap. Makes me RAGE. I want to be able to get the cool Blue Note stuff in my size!
I make a tiny hole at the seam on the inside and cut the elastic with nail scissors. You could even sew it back up if you're feeling motivated, but I didn't bother!
Omg I used to do this in uni and as a teenager a lot! I cringe thinking about it now. Terrible!
My 60 year old SIL thinks this is such a good look - she wears denim shorts over black tights.
This is one I am still undecided about. 3/4 length padded coats without any sleeves. I have tried a really nice one on but wonder about the cold with lack of sleeves and would I have to buy a larger size to wear a hoddie underneath to keep my arms warm or should I just forget it and buy a proper coat and leave these to kids.

I was commenting on someone wearing one of these yesterday. Personally I'd just get annoyed that my arms were cold!My 60 year old SIL thinks this is such a good look - she wears denim shorts over black tights.

These ugly rough quilted patches they put on coats/jackets.

Someone please tell me, why did they bring back square toe shoes and visible thongs? I can't believe of all things 90s-2000s, these nightmares are back.
OK I'm not middle-aged by some distance but I have a red Snoopy jumper from Bershka, an oversized Snoopy top from Urban Outfitters, and a pair of Snoopy pyjamas from M&S
Chunky runners
Necklaces with the person’s name on it in cursive. No better than Argos MUM rings.
All of this: bright colours + leather combo, cut outs, neon, printed leggings/denim, cinched everything.

The amount of times I find things in Primark that would be lovely without Harry Potter on it!
Yeah, there's so much cartoon/film stuff at the moment! I hate it all with an absolute vengeance.
And these cut out/underboob tops the "young people" are wearing, hideous.
