Overwhelm has taken the pleasure out of clothes shopping. There is an avalanche of style advice on social media, so many new brands, so much advertising, so many ways to shop – online versus bricks and mortar, renting versus secondhand – and fear of ridicule looms large. Many of the cries for help on internet stylist forums reflect this. “Can I really get away with wearing a tangerine trouser suit?” “Is this much leopard print too Bet Lynch?” “Am I too old for pleather?”
People now have too much self-awareness to talk about “mutton dressed as lamb”, but this idea has never quite gone away – it’s just been rephrased. Similarly, it’s nearly 30 years since Arabella Weir’s character in The Fast Show asked “Does my bum look big in this?”. We know we are not supposed to ask this question any more, and that it’s body-shaming and self-hatred – but somehow the question is still here.
