ASOS: The good, the bad and the ugly

ASOS. It has free delivery, a never ending sale and enough stuff that you never have that awkward situation of wearing the same thing as a mate. Many hours of browsing (For Lifestyle research, definitely not essay procrastination!) has brought our attention to the good, the bad and the really ugly.

THE GOOD.

An undoubtedly inappropriate blouse to wear in York, the wind will blow through this ‘100% polyester’ shirt and it’ll be freezing. But it’s only £19.99 and ASOS offer free delivery so it should just happen.

 This iPhone 5 case is nice, featuring landmarks from around the world. Unfortunately, it only fits iPhone 5s which is disappointing. Additionally, it won’t protect your phone from being smashed or scratched in alcohol -fuelled incidents.

 THE BAD.

Let’s make it clear that this is essentially a velour tracksuit that’s being rebranded as a velvet zipped hoodie. I am not one to judge for wearing velour. I own black tracksuit bottoms, which on dark days I have worn. However, paying £60 for this is outrageous.

I don’t know who thought that this skirt was a good idea, and who would pay £180 for the pleasure of wearing this confusing pleated camel monstrosity. That’s about 10 meals at YO! Sushi, guys. Priorities.

 THE UGLY.

Have you ever thought ‘I hate it when my heels and toes are too hot’? These boots give a practical solution, also offering laces and a zip.

 Full disclosure: I own this jumper. My mum thinks it’s hideous and made me change out of it before we left the house and seen in public. I can understand this, it’s much more neon than in the pictures and clashes with ginger hair. But I really like it and I feel that everyone should embrace the ugly.

 It’s a pyjama top, with ‘3D eyelash detailing’, which is what no one has ever asked for from a pair of pyjamas. It’s creepy and weird. Should you wish to buy it however, it’s £53.30 which is incredibly precise. I can only imagine that this is due to the eyelashes being sewn on, one by one.
