fashion trends that annoy me greatly

Women wearing lingerie as outerwear - what the f*** is THAT all about

Boys wearing pants ten sizes too large - cute when it first started but wearing thin for about ten f***ing years now

Those extremly-pointed shoes women wear - ugly, just plain HIDEOUS and no WAY can they be good for your feet

Women wearing sleeves that stop at their fingertips - just looks JUVENILE

ANYONE wearing a midriff who isn't in shape - ARGH JUST CUT IT OUT PLEASE

:D

:hi:

:hi: They deserve to be punished! :rofl:

:hi:

Sometimes on laundry day I have to wear my granny panties right, and they sometimes come out if I reach up too high (oops too much info)

I wore baggy jeans during my tomboy phase. Now I love hip huggers and I am ultra girly girlie.

Those extremly-pointed shoes women wear - ugly, just plain HIDEOUS and no WAY can they be good for your feet
They are not good for my feet. That's why I only wear them to look cute while I am sitting down and I make my date carry me on his back on the way back to the car ;) ( true story)

Women wearing sleeves that stop at their fingertips - just looks JUVENILE
I think everyone has a shirt in their wardrobe where the fitting is just out of wack.

ANYONE wearing a midriff who isn't in shape - ARGH JUST CUT IT OUT PLEASE
That's me after a Number 4 biggie sized from Wendy's. One big burp and then I am back in shape.

...called "Guys wearing gauchos". I'm ready for that one to go to the wayside too.

You can see the straps through their spaghetti strap tops. If you're going to have visible bra straps at least have cloth ones that are meant to be seen or (what a concept) wear a strapless bra.

it was a major fashion faux pas to have your bra strap showing! Now, the strap is part of the outfit!

Frankly, I think it's tacky. I saw a woman at our local McDonalds wearing a spaghetti strap top with the bra strap showing. Tacky, tacky.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

show your bra strap.

But Madonna did it and she ROCKED!!! ;-)

Maybe they just don't want to have to buy new pants every time they have a growth spurt??? :shrug:

How do you know their feet aren't actually shaped that way? ;-)

Why do you hate the midriff-ly challenged? :shrug:

But Madonna did it and she ROCKED!!!

Madonna did it and she looked like a ho.

Even hos thought she looked like a ho.

Maybe they just don't want to have to buy new pants every time they have a growth spurt???

Going from the "Michael Jordan" rack to the "Refrigerator Perry" rack ain't exactly a "spurt."

How do you know their feet aren't actually shaped that way?

Well, they are now...

...in fond memory of H. R. Puffnstuff! :P Hubby calls them the Pointy Toes of Death. :rofl: Deliver me from Witchiepoos!

Along with the too-big pants, I HATE it when those guys (and it's always guys!) wear pants that show their buttcracks and have the pants crotch down to their knees. :puke:

Low-rider pants on people whose belly flops over the waistline. :puke: (Goes along with the midriff thing...)

Totally flatironed hair---it's unnatural and looks kinda spooky on some people.... :yoiks:

:rofl: :rofl:

I don't get why the sideways hat thing has come back in style.

WELCOME TO DU! Enjoy your stay in our crazy, addictive little village!

:hi:

Polyester gauchos--dang, they were called culottes in the '70s and they were as hideous then as they are now.

Stovepipe pants/leggings--a major fashion faux pas of the '80s, yet here they are again...

Capris--I know, I know, every woman wears them ('cept me!), but they don't make ANYbody look good--they make the chunky look chunkier, the skinny look ridiculous, the short dumpier, and the tall taller. WHO is forcing this shite on us year after year? I keep waiting for them to go away, but they won't. I say if you're going to wear pants, wear pants. If you're going to wear shorts, wear shorts. Ain't no highwater pants like capris make you feel any cooler by getting a breeze on your ankles, fer chrissakes.

:rant:

P.S.: I prefer to call the pointy-pointy shoes cockroach killers--if nothing else, they'll fit in the corners of your apartment.

with a nice jacket they look great with boots. I kind of like those in-between pants....and I like the stovepipes- they remind me of my efforts to look like Joey Ramone and Patti Smith....

I do not want to see the return of the "skort," however; I feel like my 70s jr. high wardrobe endlessly returns to haunt me - like those awful crocheted capes that rose from the grave last season. :scared:

you don't live where the temperature can reach 100 plus for over thirty days straignt

:hi:

Nothing new under the sun and all that! :-)

I don't know how many times I've seen that show "What Not to Wear" and they talk about how these shoes make your legs look longer. Bullshit. These shoes remind me of big clown shoes--there's a huge gap between where your toes are and the tips of the shoe. It's hideous and silly.

also:

Prarie skirts -- my legs are about 25 inches long, these skirts just make me look like I have no legs at all

jeans or jean skirts with a washed out look over butt and thighs (what? we all want to look like we're 14 and thigh-heavy?)

bathing suits that come with no bras in them, or the bras that are there are useless

short shirts -- almost all the shirts are too short now. I don't want to show my tummy. Someone please give me an alternative.

side button pants and skirts -- it's not easy reaching around the twin peaks to zip up.



I wish I knew how to sew. I'd start my own clothing line.

They're basically tightly tailored "button-down" dress shirts. However, instead of actually buttoning (which would be much easier), it has false buttons and a tiny hidden zipper going up the side. It's an acrobatic feat getting in and out of the shirt. Thank God, I can dislocate one of my shoulders at will. I probably shouldn't have bought them, but it they look really hot and they were only $25.

I guess if your feet are abnormally small those might be okay, but everyone else looks like they're wearing clown shoes or skis. And don't even get me started on how bad those are for your feet. Gack.

And those weird bleached out jeans are just ridiculous. I saw a woman the other day waiting outside a public bathroom and, HONEST TO GOD, I thought to myself "Oh, that poor woman wet her pants. How embarassing!" It turns out, the bleaching on her pants was so stupidly done that it just made her look as if she'd wet her pants. What a great fashion statement!

Ladies: They look silly. Please reconsider.

YOU KNOW IT BRO" !!!!!

:pals:

I especially find them offensive, not silly, on girls under say 15. Perhaps my delicate sensibilities at work.

i was in Santa Monica last year, it was wicked hot and see woman wearing UGG boots with either shorts or a Juicy Couture track suit---worst look ever.

do people even think about wearing Ugg boots--most often pale pink--where it's hot?

that the low-rider jeans look seems to have gone out of style for women.

Can I get an Amen?

:bounce: :hi:

:bounce:

How are you? I haven't seen you for ages! Is that because of your new job?

I gotta go to werk now, but my jeans are still in the dryer. :P

What a predicament! :D

You'd never know that in the NW--but then, we are kind of slow on fashion.

you know, baseball caps on backwards.

The two hosts are total fashion victims and they go around acting like everyone should dress *EXACTLY* like them. Except that they're going to see pictures of themselves in 10 years and laugh at 90% of the ridiculous clothes they were wearing. I remember one show where the male host was mocking someone for wearing clothes that haven't been fashionable since the 80's WHILE WEARING, I kid you not, a pastel polo shirt with the collar turned up. Uh, yeah. Thanks for the advice.

I understand that plenty of people need help with flattering, attractive clothes. But not everyone needs to wear (or looks good in) the MOST cutting edge fashion magazine get-ups. In fact, most people who I consider to have a great fashion sense avoid fashion fads like the plague because the majority of them are overpriced, impractical, and only flattering on size 0 supermodels.

I've seen a couple of shows where the person looked a lot better by the end, for sure. But I don't see why they can't take into consideration what would be attractive on that person in a more classic way, or what trendy styles might suit their personality, rather than trying to make everyone wear the exact same clothes.

...than the clothes.

Or any of those fashion shows. They imply that everyone must wear exactly the same thing or you're not cool. Individuality is Not Permitted! :spank:

One of their "projects" was a girl who was an absolutely adorable arty girl. By the end of the show she looked like every other fashion droid you see at the mall. My hope is that she figured she could use the $5000 by returning all the crap they made her buy as soon as the filming was over. Then she could go down to a vintage shop and a thrift store, spend $500 replacing the clothes they made her throw out, and still come out $4500 ahead.

where's the show staffed by those of us who love thrift stores, vintage and backyard sales! The folks on those other shows forget that that's how many of the fashion police come up with ideas... by walking around boho neighborhoods in the big cities around the world....

but they do tell every woman that they need to wear a "feminine, pointy-toe shoe"

I will when they start making them for men.

Nevah! My feet would punish me 'til the day I die.

that's the problem. Only 1% of people would qualify to model the clothes that are designed by fashion designers. Women: 5'11" or TALLER, 110 lbs, no breasts, no hips, no butt. Not only is it impossible for most of us to fit that mold (I'm 5'1") but why would any woman want to look like a 12 year old boy?

what really helps the women look good.

They usually only use the weights at 10 lbs. and don't use the cardio equipment at all. They're just there to show off and "catch a man". :eyes: Hell, when I'm there, I've got my hair back so I don't sweat it down completely, and I'm not worried about fashion... :P

probably get a lot more attention from the men there.

as for makeup, why would anyone want to clog their pores when they're trying to work up a sweat?

Who wants to go to all the trouble to get showered and do your makeup and hair when all you're gonna do is SWEAT??? Shower AFTER you sweat! :D

Jesus christ on a pogo stick...

Some of these girls are not that thick around the middle but their low-rise jeans are so tight their little bit of belly chub squeezes out over their pants, I hate that. Don't even get me started on the "Just because it comes in your size does not mean you should wear it" girls...

:rofl: It fits, too! :rofl: Deliver me from muffin tops...

Almost all the women I see in little short tops should NOT be wearing them.

That little roll of fat spilling over your jeans? Not a good look.

I blame the ultra pointy shoes on "What Not to Wear". Ick.

And I HATE that the baggy pants thing, which started in prison - there's an excellent fashion source for our young men to look to.

I saw an article that said that police love it when the young men they are chasing are wearing those big baggy pants... they almost always trip.

I am in no way a slutty dresser but every time I go out to buy a pair of jeans, I can't find a single pair that goes up high enough to hide underwear completely. I'm not saying pants need to come up to my chest but they need to at least go above my hips!!! Grrrr it's so frustrating!

That and trying to buy shorts with more than a 3 inch inseam. I have to buy men's khaki shorts because my job requires me to do physically active things and I don't want my ass hanging out every time I bend over.

Amanda style. They have a truly normal waistline, and they are straight-legged (which I greatly prefer). :) I won't buy any other jeans now---and one of the great things is that they come in many different colors (black, light blue, regular denim, tan, white, etc.).

Dunno about shorts, but hope that helps with the jeans. :)

I have this pair of Levi's that I absolutely love, I wear them all the time, the only problem is, they don't go up high enough in the back so I feel really self conscious when I'm not wearing a long shirt. In the winter I go so far as wearing a t-shirt tucked in under my sweatshirts just in case. It's quite annoying.

But I will definitely check out the Gloria Vanderbilt's next time I'm jeans shopping

I have a thick waist and have a terrible time finding jeans that fit - if the waist fits the ass is huge, if the ass fits the waist is WAAAY to small - so I like the low-riders but for chrissakes I am 49, I don't want them riding below my HIPS - it seems like it is all or nothing these days :o

Sorry, couldn't resist. All my stuff is low-rise though.

choose the rise.

The ones with a regular waist still look quite fashionable, not "mom" jeanish.

Great fit, lots of different colors, varying lengths, and a good price:

You'll thank me, I swear!

:cry:

this is what I'm wearing right now, and I can't find my hands in my sleeves:




Please don't kick my ass!!!

that shirt kind of looks DESIGNED to wear long; I guess I mean just the regular jumper types that hide your hands - they just look awful

Seriously, if you're going to spend that much on jeans, pay $20 and buy a pair at Kohl's, then give the rest to me!

paying $500 for a pair of "distressed" jeans, some jackass will pay an arm and a leg for a pair of jeans that look like they've been pulled out of a dumpster. Either distress them the old fashioned way by wearing them a lot or go to a thrift store. I'm with ya on picking up a $20 pair and giving the $480 left over to someone who isn't a dumbass!

all it is, is nothing more than a catlogue for expensive, stupid shit. Really, no one should pay $500 for a pair of jeans, EVER, EVER! You dont need a $650 wallet. You dont need a $2,000 projector for a $600 video game system. You dont need to spend $8,000 on a couch. Argh, consumerism. I hate it. :argh:

This is NOT an anti-tattoo comment. Just the fact that the low-rider/ass-tattoo thing is starting to get a bit dated. I mean there isn't anything original anymore about it

*SHUDDER*

So having the low-rider ass tattoo sums up "I have no sense of identity so I'll do what every other 19 year old girl is doing"

I just never thought I'd see the day when teenage girls would feel the NEED for such a thing to draw attention to their ass!!!

:shrug:

I think I'm supposed to find that sexy...I just, well, don't. I mean, if you bend down/over and I can see half your underwear, maybe rethink that, mmkay.

If they show your underwear in the back if you wear 'em or threaten to expose pubes in the front if you don't and they're dragging the ground behind you, perhaps that means it's time to buy pants that fit. :eyes:

....is sandals and socks. I cringe every time I see that. Oh! And today I saw a man in a business suit and sandals (no socks though). I thought that was pretty bizarre.

Q

I had to actually DO that not long ago....I broke my little toe badly and was advised to let it be free to heal - it hurt like hell to wear shoes so I got permission to wear sandles at work - with socks - SHEESH that IS friggin' goofy. I DID, however, match those socks and sandals in color (brown) as closely as possible!!! And I quit as soon as that damn toe healed!!! :D

Especially when worn with a big wide belt and a teeny little short top so all the lard smooshes out over the top of the extra-tight jeans and we get to behold an expanse of white, nekkid blobby flesh. And I don't care how young you are. Unless you are about 40 pounds underweight you look like hell in that outfit.

"Hey, Skippy! How old are you, eight?"

I cannot STAND wearing pants that are so low they threaten my ass. Ridiculous. I HATE feeling like a fucking slut.

That said, my sense of fashion sucks ass--but I sure as hell don't wanna dress like that. I wear slacks/good jeans and good shirts to school. I may look like I belong in the corporate world, but I don't give a damn.

:grr::grr:

innovative products.

I haven't turned the ads off--I actually enjoy them!

:rofl:

I don't mind so much.

:evilgrin:

is just a little too slutty for me.

That really bothers me...

Sadly, I wasn't wearing my glasses and couldn't tell it was actually a bloke until I got within 4 feet of him. :eyes: Sheesh. Where did he go to get those Levis; "Dan's Big and Tall"?!


And I'll be sure to get into proper shape before wearing a midriff... :rofl:
