Men wearing a t-shirt, shorts and flip flops in the depths of winter, and then a big fuck-off puffy gilet Confused

Face masks worn by line drivers in cars!

Small cars (in particular) that have been decked out in boy racer attire. Corsas, micras, Fiat 500s.

Look a thousand times better untouched!

Skinny jeans unless you're skinny

Sportswear/gym wear worn as leisure outfits by people who have never done any sport in their life or been to a gym!

Bum cheeks hanging out of shorts.

Foundation that stops at the neck and was never the right shade to begin with

I agree with the babies in bows / hair clips. Poor babies heads being squashed all day long just in case a stranger dares gets their sex wrong. I know how my head feels when I wear headbands (to keep hair out my eyes). A friend kindly bought my dd some, I put one on her just to send a photo and gave them away.

@bamboocat

Skorts. Utterly ludicrous and ultimately pointless.
Dd wears nothing but skorts to school - looks like any other straight skirt but doesn't flash pants when she hangs upside down on the monkey bars. What's not to like?!

Glacier-esque veneers

Bright orange people with fake teeth, trout pouts and hideous plastic talons.

DroopyClematis · 08/09/2021 17:09

Non-pant wearing ladies , particularly while wearing leggings.
Honestly, you look awful from behind .

Those wide , flapping trousers which are cut up to the thigh on the outsides.

HatsOnHatsOff · 08/09/2021 17:17

Heavily applied face contouring. And lip fillers. And very long fake nails. And push up bras with too tight /skimpy clothing. Awful. Women trying to out do one another and please the male gaze. Its all gone horribly wrong IMO.

HatsOnHatsOff · 08/09/2021 17:18

Sorry, you said light hearted!

@liveforsummer Yes, re skorts, for primary-aged kids fair enough. But over the last two days my local secondary school teenagers have been walking to school in their PE kits instead of uniform (no idea why). I drive past a couple of hundred of them cluttering the streets on my to work. All the boys had normal-length shorts, ie to mid-thigh. A few girls were in leggings and all the rest were in skorts that were ludicrously short. They literally could not have been any shorter. Why the girls can't wear the same PE shorts as the lads I don't know. They used to when my dc went there.

Little Prince/Princess on Board car stickers (although I would have loved William and Kate to have done this when they left the hospital).
