What Trend Do You Wish Would Go Away

[miss_cinday]

I was shopping around Union Square in SF and walked by a store with mannequins out-fitted with bell bottom jeans. Those were in when I was in junior high and went out while I was in high school. I seriously hope they aren't trying to bring them back.

The hair pulled into a bun on top of the head, gigantic sunglasses, booty shorts, and a mens t-shirt (or skimpy tank top) paired with ugg boots or bedazzled flipflops. I go to ASU and girls EVERYWHERE wear this look to class. I'm like, "really? did you even look in the mirror because you look horrible." There's not an inch of class in that look or any look like it!

However.. fashion is about having fun and if you feel sexy and confident then wear whatever the hell you want! I love the hippie look, if you can pull it off. I love belts with dresses and boots with skirts (NOT uggs.. leather boots that go above the knee and probably not a denim skirt either!) and I think leggings can be cute if theyre ankle length (very gamine!). But some looks (hence the messy, sloppy, and often *ahem* skanky look) just don't EVER work.. The world needs some class and grace back in it :]

Hmmmm, unlike most people on here, i actually like skinny jeans. The only trends I really don't like are floral dresses for fall. I know they may look good on some people but I just can't see them on me

Atm Im hating Doc Martin boots.

Crocs. Jr. high school girls wearing short short skirts + Uggs (aren't they supposed to keep you warm?!) actually, Uggs in general need to go.

But the worst--- Gladiator sandals.

It's about finding clothes that look great on your body type, and if you can feel confident in 'em and rock 'em, more power to you Also I HATE THOSE VISORS too. Can anybody even see out of those damn things?

Also, ladies who are either under 5'5 and have thick legs: what is up with capri tights/leggings? Do you like looking diminutive and stumpy? Just invest in the remaining 4 inches of tights and do yourself a favor or don't wear them at all.

Uggs/ those slouchy boot type things in general. They don't look good with anything, I understand that they're comfortable, so are my pink tartan PJs, but I wouldn't wear them in public.

Leggings... as PANTS!

Dont get me wrong I wear leggings quite a bit but with long tops or dresses... Ihate when people wear them with little tees... gross! The other day in Ihop i saw a girl about 200 pounds wearing a little baby tee and too small leggings stretched so tight across her ass, you could see her butt rolls jiggling from a mile away and all her cellulite! My omlette almost came back up!

Not flattering!

EWWWW

I love babies with leggings and little diaper butt poof thing going on... so cuuute.

Makes me almost want to have another child... well, No way, been there done that twice, good to go!!

But it kills my love when I see a grown woman, wearing leggings as pants, with VPL to top it all off!!!

ITA with wearing what makes you happy and comfortable for the situation you are currently in (like sloppy sweats dressing in the grocery store, no problem!) AND I happen to love my uggs that are now about 12 years old all beat up and nasty... for winter. When it's snowing bad. And I am grocery shopping!

 

[sharkbytes]

MAXI DRESSES. Seriously, just stop. Just because Angelina wore them when she was pregnant doesn't mean that everyone just walking around the city needs to be wearing them. 9 times out of 10 they look ridiculous.

And..(I know people will prob. throw things at me for this one!) but ED HARDY. It was cool for about 10 minutes when no one knew where to find any of it, but now those shirts/bags/everything are in every single store, and even soccer moms are wearing them. (No disrespect to soccer moms, I'm just trying to point out that the trend has really just gone too far)

I always see that when I go to ihop, that or white TIGHT jeans on a 200 pound person. Or socks with sandals, or crocs. ARGHHH!

I really agree, too, but there's an element of self-respect involved here, I think.
Of course, nobody is going to wear an evening gown and high heels to the convenience store to buy a bag of Fritos, but when I see a [non-homeless] person shuffling around in dirty/torn clothes that look like something that should be worn to paint the bathroom in, I think, "Has that person just given up, or what?"
When you look neat and pulled together, it seems to me to send the message, "I consider myself worth a little effort."
I'm all for comfort, but there are limits.

I agree about the Ed Hardy stuff, but only when people make it seem like that is all they own. Too much of a good thing is a bad thing.

Wearing an Ed Hardy hat with a Ed Hardy shirt and Ed Hardy shoes is not flattering to you, or the designer. Same with Juicy Couture.

But I do have to say, I love my Ed Hardy hats :3 They make me happy to look at them while they sparkle at me from their post on top of my bed stand.

 

[miss_cinday]

i dont know if anyone mentioned this already...i really hate seeing men who wear those shirts with really large arm holes that allow for you to see their belly...guys usually wear it to work out in to show off their buff bods which is alright but it seems men who dont workout wear it out every where...i'm sorry but thats gross, i dont wanna be seeing your huge beer belly from the side...
this past weekend i was at ikea and i saw this guy and his gf, his gf was dressed all cute with heels and you see this guy holding her hand wearing this shirt with his belly handing out...i'm sorry if that was my man id tell him to stay home

 

[igswonderworld]

Crocs, crocs and most importantly CROCS!!!!! (sorry, I HATE THE DAMN THINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!) I mean it's ok for your kid to wear it outside to the playground or the beach but YOU DON'T GET TO WEAR THEM FOR STROLLING IN THE CITY!!!!!!!!!!!!

uggs: short for ugly things...

gipsyish dresses that make you look shapeless and/or pregnant; very tight, lean and long t-shirts like agyness deyn's that only flatter the flat chested stick figures who can reach the top shelf at a loft kitchen; military feeling, vicious looking purses that are out to get you; or in contrast those hippie bags, hobos etc. that make you look like you have no sense of style or age or grace, no offense anyone...

skinny jeans of course but only because I can't look good in them... once I can get to rock them, then I will start loving them.. same goes for leggings..

toeless black patent booties or boots that are mid-calf..... seriously people?

I have so much more hate... Shall I keep going?

 

[smexiebinks]

Guys who wear pants and a belt but the pants are under their ass.
Gross.

 

[pat]

OMG, there was this guy who wore shorts (that were above his ankles), a turtle neck, timberland boots, and to top it off, a fur puff jacket.

wtf, are you an idiot or are you an idiot? hahahaha

I seriously wanted to throw him on the ground.

are you cold or are you hot?

 

[MACaholic21]

Skinny jeans!!!
