Fun question! My biggest guilty fashion pleasure is leggings with log tops/short dresses. I also love long, oversized tee shirts and sweatshirts, and wear those with leggings too. It’s a good thing I’m not famous and don’t have to worry about the fashion police photographing me out and about on the streets!

Not feeling quilty but still wearing my midi tubes(so easy to wear)&plaid cigarette pants from years ago and some of my to the knee seath style (but not really body-con and much more casual) dresses in summer, too. And no blue jeans for me - only whites or black+ some grey, bl waxed or esp. white stretchy denim skirts (to the knee), too!:-))

Without guilt: Dresses over pants. Colored tights. Patterned fishnets. 3/4 length sleeves. Flatforms, platforms, and chunky footwear in general. Patterned socks. High waists in pants and skirts; never low waists. Shoulder pads. Oxfords.

I love Taylor Swift AND Eminem. In fact I feel they should do a collab ...

This is fun! I had to stop and think.

I guess cardigans are my #1 guilty pleasure-signature. I have tried alternatives but they just don't work as well for me. Also knee length dresses, mid-thigh shorts, boxy tops, chunky boots. I think cropped pants may be added to this list but time will tell.

I am also a TSwift and Eminem fan - great idea Helena!

Taylor Swift and Eminem ftw
No guilt here either. I happily wear a variety of silouettes, and have no problem ignoring trends that don't suit me.

Shift/mini dresses over opaque tights or leggings

Non-chunky sneakers (I do like some chunky ones too!)

Muted colors

Prep!

I was surprised how against-the-grain my layered, natural-texture (still fairly straight) hair felt in Central Europe, where it seemed everyone was wearing the same long, flat-ironed blunt cut. But then I came across a group of French tourists and the women were all wearing their hair in loose wavy/curly layer, and I felt much better!

Looking at my closet, it appears I will buy all the silk I can afford, and I likely have a lifetime supply of cream colored tops and plenty of shoes. But one errant curry noodle or cobblestone and I feel better about my extensive backups.

Fun read!l think my fashion guilty pleasure is not having a small,minimalist capsule wardrobe.l like choice,what can l say?!

@ Cardiff girl - your answer is the best!

Push up bras and round-toe pumps (or any other kind of shoe for that matter).

It’s seems like recently many women my age or younger have opted out of wearing push up or cleavage enhancing bras for wireless models or bralettes While I do find them practical for certain clothes that require less support or simply don’t fit well over padding, the opposite is true for other tops/dresses. So I will continue to wear them when appropriate.

As for the shoes, I am seeing round toes practically disappear from shelves in favor of square or pointy ones. I’ve never been a fan of pointy toes. I feel like there are enough pointy, sharp edges on my skinny body and this kind of shoe only accentuates them and make my legs look even thinner… but in a bad, awkward way. With a body that’s somewhere in between and inverted triangle and a rectangle, I’ve heard conflicting advice about my legs and chest (show them off, they’re your best features versus minimize/hide them, they throw off your proportions) and as someone who’s technically “petite” at 163 cm (5’4) I’m supposed to be “visually elongating” my body with “tricks” such as pointy toes, even though I often find myself having to convince people I’m actually that short. So the round toes aren’t going anywhere.

CardiffGirl I'm with you, actually!

My "guilty" pleasures are skinny jeans and low rises -- looks that I'm aware most people have moved on from and even roll their eyes at but that I continue to wear because they are practical/suit my body type and lifestyle. They're not items that I love, per se, however.

Other things that I do love that may be out of step with fashion are things like traditional fair isle, aran knits, Liberty prints -- I don't feel guilty about these pleasures though, kind of could care less what others think about them.

This was a thought-provoking exercise!
