Just that really, and just a bit of a light hearted rant!

I will admit that in the past I have worn both of these things so I get why people where them and I'm not directing it at anyone individually!
BUT I just cannot bare false eyelashes or really long hair extensions. They both just look SO uncomfortable, I
don't know how anyone can really relax wearing them.
Especially the look when half the eyelashes have fallen off and there are just massive clumps of lashes left 😳😳😳😳 I just do not get it it! Whhhhyyyyy do people do this?!

This will go well

Cupofteaonesugar · 28/09/2022 17:09

Oh no really 🙈
I mean no harm, I come in peace!

Yes false lashes. Very odd.
Mom jeans…they don’t flatter anyone.

Grandeur · 28/09/2022 17:13

The long Amish/Victorian looking dresses I've seen all the mums wearing at the school gates atm.

Joolsin · 28/09/2022 17:13

Culottes - especially flared ones that end below the knee.

Also the fake everything look.

Mushroo · 28/09/2022 17:14

The no bra trend. I would not be comfortable with all that jiggling!

Not really a trend but I hate tights where one leg is a different colour to the other. Just screams ‘I’m so quirky and crazy me!’

mikado1 · 28/09/2022 17:15

White stiletto boots, which puts me in a minority apparently! Can't see the attraction at all, on anyone.

CookPassBabtridge · 28/09/2022 17:16

I wear magnetic lashes everyday and they're comfortable and never fall off, so much easier than constantly applying mascara which then looks lumpy! They make my eyes look fantastic and I feel good, that's what its all about isn't it?
I always have acrylic nails which mamy don't like. Never had hair extentions.

I have never understood thongs! I lasted a minute in them when I tried one on 😆

DoodlePug · 28/09/2022 17:17

The whole trousers flapping round your ankles thing. I know shorter trousers have been in fashion for years now so I'll be the only one but can't help always thinking people have bought the wrong length!

Harry. (Don't get, don't care enough to not like.)

ChaToilLeam · 28/09/2022 17:18

Long pointy fake nails. I imagine the gunk that must accumulate under them! 🤮

Grumpyarchitect · 28/09/2022 17:19

I'm currently wearing mom jeans and I look awful but they're SO comfy! 🙈

Ripped jeans where most of the leg is showing. What's the point?

False lashes that are clumpy and full of crust. I love falsies but I'd never wear them until they were crusty. Yet seems quite common at the school gates.

Certain leopard print is classy and gorgeous but SOME leopard prints out there are hideous and look nasty.

I don't understand long line gilets. Yet. 😆 I'll happily be converted...

Cowboy boots 🤣 I saw a pair today

Mullets

MooseBreath · 28/09/2022 17:19

High neck tops (especially with bows or ruffles)
Sheer clothing
Long pointy fingernails
Contoured makeup
Super bold and shaped eyebrows
Fake tan
Platform shoes/boots
Uggs
Large diamonds on rings
Massive handbags/purses

That said, just because I don't understand or like the look of it doesn't mean it's crap. I just wouldn't style myself like that.

MrsMoastyToasty · 28/09/2022 17:19

Jumpsuits. I can't understand the getting undressed to have a wee .

Do you have a link to the lashes you use, please?

I love a pair of culottes but totally agree with the knee flared ones! I would look so bad in these 🙈

Absolutely! As long as you feel good that's the main thing ♥️

Oversized sweatshirts/jumpers. I don't like how they look and the one time I did wear one I wasn't even warm because it was so flappy it felt like all the cold air was going right into it!

Mrsjayy · 28/09/2022 17:24

Gubu · 28/09/2022 17:17

Harry. (Don't get, don't care enough to not like.)

Same 😃

I'm not really his demographic but I just don't get him his songs are meh.

Op I can't stand peplum tops they look like you have a shelf

FlySwimmer · 28/09/2022 17:25

@ChaToilLeam I agree! How do people do anything with incredibly long nails?! Surely you’d live in fear of breaking them, and they get in the way of almost any activity.

FourChimneys · 28/09/2022 17:26

Mum jeans. I'm a slimmish size 8, tried some on in M & S and thought how hideous they looked. Or it might just be me!

Ripped jeans. I can't understand how anyone would pay good money to wear clothes which are only fit for the rag bag.

SunflowerSmith · 28/09/2022 17:27

Leopard print.
Massive drawn on eyebrows
Huge lips
To be fair those three things are often on the same person.

SudocremOnEverything · 28/09/2022 17:27

less don’t like, than just don’t get (and find quite amusing) is teenage DS’s obsession with socks. They have to be the right kind of ugly white socks and there has to be the maximum amount visible at all times.

even more unfathomable is that he’s always been a sock hater. And still removes his shoes and socks the instant he gets in the house.

also the mullet thing. He’s not grown one. But so many of his friends have. I kind of want him to. Because just think of the photos for the future. 🤣

In terms of women’s styles, I can’t understand fake nails at all. The thought of wearing them fills me with horror. It’s a big sensory thing for me. I just couldn’t. Inker mine short, unpainted (and generally not impressive in any way) because I can’t cope with anything else. So it’s more a personal
thing than anything else.

ThreeRingCircus · 28/09/2022 17:28

Anything with those big puffy shoulders or a peplum. I swear that peplum tops or dresses aren't flattering on anybody.

LadyVictoriaSponge · 28/09/2022 17:30

Mom jeans, I don’t think they look good on anyone.
