Fashion Pet Peeves

[xxElusivexx]

I'll just add the ones that I don't think have been mentioned yet:

*Bags that are way too dressy for an outfit
*Cork shoes- can't believe this hasn't been mentioned!
*Bleached blonde, frizzy, overprocessed hair with or without dark eyebrows
*Freaky-looking contact lenses
*Hair perfectly done, makeup caked on paired with a tracksuit and runners
*Overly casual clothes teamed with big, dressy earrings in a lame attempt to dress it up
*Heels with casual clothes
*Cheap-looking, skintight jeans
*Jeans that are so long the person's feet are invisible
*Any pants that are too long and have dragged and ripped at the bottom
*People getting dressed up (clothes, hair, makeup- the works!) AT THE GYM!!

Ok I think that's all I've got for now..sorry if I offended anyone

I have to agree with pants tucked into most boots, especially cowboy boots. It's so tacky, and never in all my years of riding have I seen anyone wearing them like that for practical reasons.

hmm..
-those 'croc' shoes. with or without socks, it matters not if you are wearing them in public (malls, etc)
-furry eskimo boots. scary.

fashion peeves

• Woman in plaid flannel shirts, OK all plaid and flannel shirts. Save them for chopping wood in the country.
• Those fabric boots that look like confused house slippers. I think they are imitation UGG's. Oh, damm I'll be honest, i don't like those boots. Wear these only at home on days when your boiler is broken.
• Yes, guys wearing pink! What the hell is that all about, I saw it often two summers ago. One young guy was actually wearing a pink tee, pink sneakers, pink belt & pink hat. AUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let’s get it straight, I am not opposed to a man wearing a pink dress shirt or a tie with pink in the pattern, but unless you are a little girl, all this pink is a major fashion don’t.
• Woman wearing pants cut so low on front that they stop right at the hairline.
• Overdone dark make-up for every day use.
• Straight Woman that always wear androgynous clothes
• Woman with a full mustache.
• The comb over. C’mon guys give it up, bald can be beautiful

*I have more, but I'll stop now.

 

[scrapbookromance]

those sequin stretch belts, paired with the sequin hobo-ish bags. I saw so much of this at the beach this past summer, I can't believe I didn't mention it earlier! all the little teenybopper girls were doing it, and every store on the boardwalk was selling the stuff for outrageous prices. ike.

oh oh. puffy down-filled vests that are too big or too small. I find it hard for people to pull them off.

belts not through belt loops



eek I think I've made enough of a contribution for one day, plus from before.

 

[as_cute_as_pie]

1. high heeled leather boots (u no the type) when ppl wear them nd their too big around the top it just looks wrong

2.courdory (sp?) why?

3. ermm oo the whole im a slut look in general

 

[as_cute_as_pie]

ooo forgot this. glitter bleach jeans ew. (oh and i have to agree about the pant/boots thing people wear it for SCHOOL ive seen and hah they wear baggy pants aswell

)

1)Women who think dressing dowdy means dressing "their age."

2)The style of many Americans - ill-fitting jeans, huge and ugly t-shirts/sweaters with crap like 80s style dogs and cats on them.

3)Pre-teens parading around in thongs and the mothers who either buy them or are too oblivious to care. Yes, thongs are attrocious on all who wear them, but, a 12 year old? That's just horrific.

4)Two words - Juicy Couture. Even the name elicits rage in me.

5)The dread sweatpants with sayings across the ass.

I went to see a movie last spring with one of my best friends, (an extremely stylish 53 year old.) As we were on line, we noticed a group of people who managed as a whole to encompass every fashion travesty listed in this thread. One girl happened to be leaning over with the word "FAMOUS" across her backside. My friend arched an eyebrow and went, "I don't think I really want to know in which circles that ass is "famous."

Too funny!

 

[Chelly]

ew what the hell happened to britney spears? shes such a damn slob now!! uck

anyways one trend im not happy about is those STUPID cowboy boots! i dont care that jessica simpson wore them in that dumb daisy duke movie - that is not cute... not even a little bit

I can't stand it when girls wear fake tan - be it on the face or the body.

Girls - those of you not born with naturally brown skin listen here:

YOU LOOK RIDICULOUS

No matter how good a job you think you/your tanning professional has done - it still looks orange and fake, fake, fake. So many of my friends claim they have had a great tanning job done and 9 times out of 10 it looks like they are wearing body foundation 10 shades too dark. It never goes on even - just gross and splotchy. The funniest is when they have 'tanned' outer arms and legs, and the underside of the arms/legs and colour of the palms/ankles just looks wrong. Fair skinned tone and texture are not designed for a tan - so whats the point in spending all this money on tanning salons (or hours in the sun as some fools do) - when you've spent copious amounts of money to look orange for a few weeks.

Yuk.

 

[litlaur]

Ok, I'm dividing mine by sex

females:
- pants with words across the ass
- again, undersized clothes
- miniskirts with furry boots

males:
- half-popped collars - one side of the collar is popped. Just retarded.
- upside-down visors - thankfully this trend has mostly died around here
- overly color-coordinating - black shirt over slightly larger pink shirt, pink and black sweatbands and pink and black socks (think 80s - layered various colored socks *shudders*).

 

[dirtygirl]

pre-teens dressed like whores and watching their mothers buy them that shit. (it's one thing if the girl is trying to get it/sneak it herself, and another if the mother is supporting it!)

crotch to the knees. not cute anymore. maybe when i was 14, but that was 10 years ago guys!!!

girls who leave the house with jack shit on their face. it isn't natural beauty honey, 99% of the time it looks like shit. get your shit together. take FIVE minutes to wash and moisturize!

Very heavily painted on and clowny eyebrows. wtf are you thinking? you look like a clown! it's not pretty, and it's not fashion forward! no, you're not channeling mae west! unless there's a medical reason for it, do not paint on the eyebrows... and if you have to paint them on (god love you poor soul), please do a normal, flattering style, not some big ass swoop.

words on the ass. 'nuff said.

i'm a bigger girl, and i'm smart enough to not wear tight clothes. i just don't think fat chicks should wear tight clothes. it's never attractive ladies!

people who criticize things constantly because they don't like it for THEM, but can never acknowledge that it looks good on someone else.

::editted to add:: whoever said that they can't stand people who get totally gussied up to work out at the gym... I SO AGREE!!! It's why i quit going to the local 24 hour Powerhouse gym. It wasn't a gym, it was a flippin' beauty contest! When i work out, i sweat, and it ain't pretty, honey!




p.s. people wear PJs in public because they are UBER comfortable.

back in my skinny days, i did too!

hehe.

as for uggs, well, pretty or not, they are SUPER DUPER comfortable... and your feet don't sweat in them (weird, i nkow). seriously, i borrowed a pair for a day from a friend when i stayed over at her place, and we were going out, and it was snowy, and id idn't have anything to wear outside shoe-wise. They may be ugly, but they are so comfy.

the "nice bag" but "messy look" wellllll.... i have a nice bag (not designer, but looks really nice), and it has everything in it. If i have to run some errands or something, and i'm really in a hurry, i will throw on whatever and grab my bag. hey, it already has all my shit in it! i'm not going to change it just to run some errands!

not everyone can afford designer bags =/ (but they still like the styles) i try to give people who own knock-offs the benefit of the doubt.

 

[cyens]

sweat pants with writing on the ass.
( Like once I saw a girl with white sweat pants saying juicy in brown on her ass...right... ) or what ever else it says is just ugly

people who wear jeans that are all riped at the bottom


undersize or over size

ass-crack or thongs sticking out

mix-matched colors

belly shirts

people who doesnt wear weather apropriate clothes: like people that colect snow and salt in the botom of theyre pants in winter, because they wont fold them or put it inside their boots. People who wear sneakers in winter. People who wear jackets that arent warm enough and complain about the weather and being sick. People who doesnt wear a tuque in winter because it mess their hair and complain about being sick. OK you get the picture...

leg warmers over their sneakers or shoes or boots ( I wear legwarmers UNDER my pants and theyre NOT visible...because yes they keep my legs warm in winter.)
or people who use old shirts sleeves for leg warmers ( hello? get 10$ and buy some )

furry boots

misses-matched styles: keep one style in mind, dont be a hip-hop-goth-punk-skater-preppy-hooker-hyppie-boho

 

[bohogirl]

I am over clothing with scribble or graffiti on them, polo shirts with the collar popped and I dont know about wear you are but here all these girls are wandering aroung wearing black shorts and bright coloured singlets or long strapless tops - they ;oole like LICORICE ALLSORTS! Then there are the other girls that dont wear the black shorts they wear white or another color and they look like JELLY BEANS!

 

[Naheed]

- ugg knockoffs (hello, it's SO obvious you have a knockoff, just give it up already!)
- pants with words across the bum
- people who don't have time to chance out of their pyjamas but have time to put a full face of makeup on
- girls who wear trends that don't suit them

 

[CrouchingAfroHiddenPick]

I am sorry, but I can't stand to see people wear flip-flops when it's cold outside! As cliche as it sounds, if I had a dollar for everytime I saw someone walking around where I live, in a Northface fleece pullover, jeans and some darn flip-flops, I would be rich!

I totally agree. The pajamas thing makes me nuts. It's not hard to grab a pair of jeans!

 

[litlaur]

Or even sweatpants!

I really don't get that! I don't know about other people, but my feet get cold faster than my hands.

 

[laurenmo88]

everyone is saying over sized clothes on guys but i say UNDERSIZED CLOTHES ON MEN NEEDS TO STOP - unless you are a male model, ricky martin, or the rock (yum!) WEAR CLOTHES THAT FIT YOU "girl pants" are aptly named

also i wear ugg boots but everyone who's talked about wearing them w/ skirts is absolutely right! if its warm enough for a skirt - why the boots?

moustaches are bad but sideburns are good

 

[RedBetty]

I don't really have a pet peeve, I just think people should wear clothes that fit properly. almost any peice of clothing could like nice, as long as it's worn by the right body type.
