Which Fashion Trend Should Never Ever Come Back?

We've all had that moment: you're looking through old photos, you see an outfit and you think: What was I thinking?! On this episode of Ask Me A Question, Dame Arlene Phillips and Bradley Riches are debating which fashion eras need to be confined to the dustbin of history. Brad opens the episode talking about the success of his new book Autistically Me which is selling out everywhere! Arlene shares advice for efficient book signings: be charming, show warmth, keep the line moving, set boundaries and streamline photos by having phones ready while signing. In the debate, Arlene criticizes exaggerated ’80s shoulder-heavy designs (Thierry Mugler and Claude Montana) for overwhelming her frame, though she admits a recent vintage shoulder-pad jacket looked great in moderation. Brad argues strongly against spray-on skinny jeans, recalling his own past outfits, and they also react to audience picks including low-rise jeans, tiny tinted sunglasses, visible thong straps, and ultra-thin eyebrows.
