You know why just limit this to Junior clothing? How about women over the age of 20 shouldn't wear:
High heels -- this includes very high heels with a slight platform in the front
Bikini's
Knee high, thigh high, hell any sort of boot
Tank tops
Shorts
Skirts
Jeans
Leggings
Strapless shirts/dresses
Short sleeves
Long sleeves
Pony tails
Long hair
Make up
Sneakers
Flip flops
Tight shirts
Short shirts
Low rise pants
From now on the standard issue for any woman over the age of 20 should be a burlap sack. Problem solved!
All of those items can easily be found outside the juniors department.0 -
frump is subjective
True, but what I'm getting from the juniors shoppers here is that every single item of clothing from every single designer that does not create juniors clothes is frumpy - which is not true. That's as judgy as the OP.
I covet weekend wear by Paltrow, Aniston, Bilson - not frumpy.
true - but you also have to realize that alot of the clothing being created by young hip designers is styled as junior garments but marketed to women in their late twenties and thirties, so its tomato tomato0 -
I just had to buy juniors shorts because I am in Texas and only had 2 pairs for two weeks and the women's didn't have any that flattered me.
I shot at places like American Eagle which kind of spans the board but if I go to normal department stores, the women's clothes feel too old for a 23 year old...Any other young women have this issue? I NEVER buy clothes because of it.
Thats why they have a contemporary section for women in their 20's (im 27) who dont want to go into the womens section but cant fit into juniors. . .
I have never seen a "contemporary" section. We only have JC Pennys and Younkers in my town and neither of them have it...both are relatively small stores. I have to drive an hour and a half to get to any other stores which...I don't have a car....so I don't even know what sort of stores to shop at. I seriously live in college and 5K t-shirts at the moment because I'm between sizes and have never been able to find tops that flatter me.0 -

Maybe so but a lot of the items aren't "age appropriate" or "sophisticated", now are they? :huh: Your whole beef is that women have to shop for "age appropriate sophisticated" clothes.
Oh, and I'm an odd number in size. Always have been.
Now more importantly why does it bother you so much what other people wear any way? You can't tell if someone got their clothes from the juniors, misses or petite department any way. Lots of people have posted pictures here that prove this so. . . . who cares?0 -
This thread is the reason I get along better with men. I choose my girlfriends carefully, and when I see cattiness and jealousy come out, they're axed. Those are ugly traits. How about building eachother up instead of putting eachother down? Good Lord.0

I have no issue with women shopping in the juniors department. I do, as well. Not solely, but I do. And I do not dress frumpy. I may have my lazy, tired moments, but they're rare.0 -

I was trying so hard to stay away from this negative thread...but fk it..heres my two cents:
Why would it matter what ANYONE wears besides yourself? You dont like it...turn your head. That fkn simple. What makes other people happy in their own life is their choice. Stop being so negative...you might not be so damn grumpy and live a couple extra years.

I'm imagining the majority of you with Justin Bieber t-shirts on and neon bracelets.
That's just a stereotype type now. I can't stand Justin Bieber, my cousin who is 14 has a great sense of fashion and I can assure you that Justin Bieber is no where in her wardrobe. My 11yr old niece, again she can't stand him. I mainly dress in horizontal stripes because I can pull it off unlike I use to beable to. I dress in things I would have never worn before because I have the body for it now.0 -
I'll play since I started it. But does Old Navy count as juniors? Cause yeah, I shop there a lot and buy cheap clothes. I'm a huge hypocrite. I also already apologized for those who missed it.
Old Navy sweater, $24 "mom" jeans from JC Penney:
Old Navy dress w/ used Nine West boots:
Walgreens dress, seriously.
Walmart sweater, JC Penny pants:
Old Navy tank, Kohl's shorts:
Kohls dress, Banana Republic jacket (I have the whole suit).

Burlap sacks can reveal too much leg. Just hide under your sheets and don't leave your house anymore. Life is obviously over.You know why just limit this to Junior clothing? How about women over the age of 20 shouldn't wear:

I have a juniors shape/size body so that's typically what I wear. But honestly as long as I'm aloud to shop in the Active Wear section, I'd be all set! Not everyone dresses up, some of us prefer to wear jeans/T/hoodie. My momma is over 50 and wears the same as me and my two older sisters. As long as you dress for your body/your style, go you.

I never have a problem finding something fashionable in the plus sized section of Macy's.
They have a "juniors" plus, things for the more fashionable younger crowd.
I mean where else can my fat butt get lavender skinny jeans.
I want a pair of purple skinny jeans. I don't care what anybody thinks about them, either. I'll get that *kitten* from the Juniors section and rock it. That is, when I'm near my goal weight.
Old Navy currently has skinny jeans in like 98237042873 different colors for pretty inexpensive. Usually their pants don't fit me right, but the skinny jeans do for some reason. They have purple, and I want the red ones SOOOOO bad, but I'm waiting until I go down one more size (kinda between sizes at the moment). I'll add those red skinnies to my collection of loud pants, right next to my leopard print skinnies that got hated on earlier!
I LOVE Old Navy. I can actually wear a medium in their shirts! I can't do that anywhere else.0 -
I wish I could shop in the boys section, that's where all the cool Marvel comic shirts and shoes are0

A few examples of misses clothing from Macy's and JC Penney:
While you look great in all of them, I wouldn't wear a single item in these pictures. That is not my style at all.
Today I am wearing a shirt titled "The Periodic Table of Pirates" (black with white table of elements with jokes written in them), Levi jeans (juniors), and a grey zip-up hoodie with a skull and crossbones and rhinestones. And a black plastic headband with a butterfly on it, accenting my bleach blonde pixie with pink highlights.
Maybe I'm not dressing my age (24), but I sure am dressing my style!
It's fine if they're not your style, but you wouldn't call them frumpy, either, would you? That's what people keep saying about misses departments, that they're all frumpy and clearly they aren't.
And I could never, ever wear what you describe to my job even I were 24 and that was "my style." I'd still have to have different clothes. I could wear all but the maxi dress to work (and did). And the maxi dress only because it's a halter and not easy to wear a sweater or blazer over the top of it.
Honestly, since you did ask, I am sorry but yes, I consider the first and last look a little "frumpy". Like the other poster said, frumpy is subjective. I am sure you don't consider it frumpy and aren't considered frumpy in the environment that you work in.
Luckily, I am a full time chemistry grad student and we pretty much HAVE to wear jeans and t-shirts. My boss jokes about my pink hair but doesn't mind it. Since I also have a nose piercing and a visible tattoo, my clothing will be one of the last things to get me booted from a job.0 -

I wouldn't consider any of those things NOT age appropriate for a 30 year old, except flip flops unless you are on the beach but I hate the noise they make, short shirts, those are just out of style (thankfully).0 -

Actually short shirts aren't out of style. I've recently bought a bunch of really cute midriff baring shirts from Body Central.0 -

Interestingly, I get a ton of compliments on them every time I wear them. I guess people like frumpy. :-)0 -
i wear Jeans from the jr section, but i always make sure they fit right, and theres nothing hanging over lol..
ive expirenced jeans from the not jr section and if you like them going up past ur belly button then u should totally shop in the ladies section in my hometown kohls but for me not gonna happen lol
shorts i get from gap..not into my *kitten* hanging out everywhere kinda shorts.0 -

That would be the girl's section at Target, not the junior's department at a department store. Just fyi.
Yah and all you guys don't nock the kids section either!! HAH! I get most of my workout shorts & bras from there... OW AND SOCKS!!! Even thought the shorts are still too big IN THE KIDS SECTION and I have to roll the size 10-12 shorts (size Medium/Large IN KIDS) 2 times so they aren't hanging down to my knees, heheh. I sometimes wear their tank tops and so on but Juniors fits me better.... Well I like the long tank top look and so on for lounging around the house. The shorts in the picture are an xtra small juniors, so size 0. I think they fit nicely. 0 -

Yeah, grad school was awesome like that, septum piercing and all, no one cared. Any chemistry job I've looked at though was "business casual (jeans on fridays!)" I still have the septum piercing, but I don't wear so it shows at work, obviously.0
