17 items of clothing that make absolutely zero sense and need to vanish

From Cosmopolitan

1. Gilets.

It’s freezing cold outside. You really want to add a huge extra layer of padding. But only on your body. Your arms can freeze to death for all you care.

2. Sleeveless polo necks.

Much like the gilet, this piece of clothing is suitable only for people who get very chilly in the torso, but require absolutely zero warmth on their extremities. Perfect for that really chilly ‘jumper weather’. Oh wait… no it isn't, because I could just wear a jumper for that.

3. This sleeveless puffa jacket.

If gilets weren’t nonsensical enough, this capped sleeve puffa is a crime against logic.

4. This extreme crop top

Jodie Marsh's top made of belts would be more practical than this.

5. Fluffy sandals.

IF YOU’RE WEARING SANDALS IT’S HOT. You don’t want fur.

6. Fishnet tights. (Especially worn under other clothes).

These provide absolutely zero function aside from getting all Fifty Shades. If there is a purpose to wearing pieces of elasticated string on your legs, I have not found it.

7. Peep-toe and cut-out boots.

The sole purpose of winter boots is to keep your feet dry and warm. Adding holes to them removes both of these functions entirely.

8. Raincoats without hoods.

Sure, a cosy winter coat for chilly days doesn't necessarily need a hood. But if I am buying a mack specifically designed for wear during wet weather, surely a hood is just an obvious element to that?

9. All sheer clothing.

The point of clothes is that they cover body parts and we are not walking around naked. See-through clothing is an oxymoron.

10. Cut-out swimwear.

The last thing you want is weird tan lines if you are on holiday. Why would you voluntarily wear something that does just that. Bandeau all the way baby.

11. Ditto all beach jewellery.

Body chains - please explain.

12. Sleeveless suit jackets.

Why? What is the fashion industry’s issue with sleeves? Am I missing something? This jacket is. SLEEVES.

13. Thongs.

We have VPL-less pants these days so, sorry fashion, but there is literally no need to put your butt through this painful and unnecessary torture.

I mean, surely we have evolved since these dark days..

No? Oh, okay then.

14. Thigh-high stockings.

They come up high enough so they look like tights, so why not go the whole hog and cover your crotch and actually just be tights? It'd be warmer that way.

15. Clear plastic shoes.

IMAGINE THE SWEATY FEET.
