I'm sitting here in shock, absolute shock! I've just discovered something that sends my world into a spin. Men don't like women in leggings! I beg your pardon?

I was just reading a magazine when I was taken by a flippant little article about the top ten fashion items men don't like to see women wearing and there at number six was leggings! I nearly cried.

When you get past your twenties as the majority of women in the UK now are, to go out with bare, orange peel, haslet coloured legs is a fashion faux pas.

Trust me on this one, unless you've just come back from holiday or you have a decent bit of fake tan on, just don't do it!

So for those of us with no tan, plenty of peel and a desire to still wear a short skirt, the answer is of course leggings.

They can be worn in the winter with boots, in the summer with high heels, three-quarter length leggings for late spring and for the really brave and those with good legs below the knee… cycling shorts!

So what else rears its ugly head in this list of things we mustn't wear? Well it's all very high fashion, or maybe very old fashioned and perhaps that's the problem.

Jumpsuits, dungarees, headbands and harem trousers! Unsurprisingly the Ugg Boot makes the list as well, but really that lives in the realms of teenage-dom (I think I just made that word up).

Fashion faux pas! I have to admit I'm having one as I'm writing this, but in my defence I am just about to go to the gym… and my slippers somehow don't suit the whole jogging bottoms thing. I'm not sporting a headband though and that is a blessing, as I will reappear in some 60 minutes looking like I've been dragged through a hedge backwards, but at least I won't look like I've been dragged back-in-time.

You can sort of get away with odd outfits at home. The defence is that if you are cleaning the house you need to wear old clothes, or if you're tired and feeling under the weather, then you just want something comfortable to wear.

As a newlywed I am still at the stage where I try to look nice for my man. I have a friend, though, who openly admits to wearing a velour tracksuit around the house and even has her man so well trained, he bought her a "slanket". If you, like I was, were blissfully unaware of what a slanket, is, then here's the low-down… it's a blanket with armholes in it. A slippery slope more likely, if you ask me.

Now something that I was really surprised didn't make it onto this list of things men hate women wearing, was the all-in-one "onesie". Perhaps it's because men can wear them too.

I have never seen anything I am less likely to wear than this! Onesies are big baby-grows for adults. Although I have seen the odd "trendy" teen wearing them, I'm just not convinced that anyone will take them seriously. Now even if my man decides that he does like to see a woman in a onesie, that's one fashion trend I won't be following… unless maybe if I can wear some leggings over the top?
