10 questionable bits of 2000s fashion advice given by Trinny and Susannah
PA Archive / PA Images PA Archive / PA Images / PA Images
ESSENTIAL VIEWING IN the 2000s was What Not To Wear, a makeover show where posh hosts Trinny and Susannah made women stand in a 360-degree mirror in their underwear and critique their bodies. What larks!
T and S were considered the oracle on fashion back in the day, but does the advice from their books and TV shows hold up now? Erm…
1. Take off your knickers for a day-to-night summer look

This was definitely said with tongue firmly in cheek, but still: What??
2. This right here is a ‘flattering’ outfit for the beach

Egregious misuse of the word ‘flattering’.
WHAT ARE THOSE
3. Wearing your hair down will prevent you getting cold ears

Or you could just wear a hat? Maybe?
4. If you’re going to be flashing your knickers in low rise jeans, wear a nice thong
Please think ahead in regards to knicker flashing.
5. A blazer and a long skirt is an ideal wedding outfit

Prepare to gag on her eleganza!
6. Unfitted, sleeveless tops make big boobs look like ‘badly made custard’

I mean, they just look like boobs to me… Oh excuse me, ‘udders’.
7. Boss ladies should avoid looking ‘severe’

Riiiiight.
8. This is a good outfit for a job interview

The cat bag. The pigtails. TRINNY.
9. But at the same time, you should say no to childish hairstyles

Which is it, Trinny?! We’re all confused now.
10. And just… whatever is going on here

Wasn’t it great when we had Trinny and Susannah around to tell us that crop tops are inappropriate for work? How we’re managing now without them we’ll never know.
