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?!

High heels.
I just don't understand why I would want to force my feet to do that.
Also pointy shoes.

I hate drawn-on eyebrows with corners (micro bladed?), fake lashes, botoxed lips, long nails, fake tan, tattoos.

YourWinter · 29/09/2022 23:31

Also…
high heels
wide belts
thongs

CookPassBabtridge · 29/09/2022 23:42

Yes to high heels, I'm like bambi on ice!

ihatesoaps · 30/09/2022 04:33

@JOFFCV
Yes they're fashionable apparently. They're supposedly fashion boots but they look like wellies!!

ghostsandpumpkinsalready · 30/09/2022 05:47

Those baggy jumpsuit things 😳
Unless your stick thin you just look like a telletubby with a full diaper 🤷‍♀️🤣

mikado1 · 30/09/2022 16:23

I looked great in a lovely jumpsuit....until I turned around 😂 😂

Lollypop701 · 30/09/2022 21:23

Really big check pattern trousers on men unless they are very slim… the arse look 3 x as big and not in a good way. Don’t like the short trousers no sock look either

Unintentional see through leggings , especially with no knickers to avoid vpl

daisy the cow false eyelashes

anything that doesn’t fit… if the buttons are bulging then just buy the next size up

shorts that 50% of your ass has escaped

the 90s are back, and I’m too old but wore it all first time round and must have thought it looked ok, as does the now generation. They too will look back and laugh. At least we appear to have avoided shell suits 😂

Ooh, I want to play! 😄

Knee high/over the knee boots. So ugly.

Bootcut jeans.

Cold shoulder tops.

Athleisure unless you're actually going to yoga.

Face/neck tattoos.

Anything with butterflies on.

Steampunk. Your glasses or cogs on your hat make you look like a total bellend mate.

Fucking Steampunk!! Absolute twat-wear if ever I have seen!

Yes to bra straps on show! Hate the look. If you're wearing a thin strappy top you need to wear a strapless bra or at the v least coordinate your bra colour with the colour of your top.

StarlightLady · 01/10/2022 06:10

I don’t have a problem with bra straps showing. I really can’t do strapless, keep up appearances and be comfortable. I always choose a contrasting colour if straps are going to show; l don’t own a white bra or beige, ‘reminds me of school.

What l do have a problem with is greying bra straps showing where the bra has not been washed properly and should be in the bin.

Squiff70 · 01/10/2022 06:51

Dresses with trainers. Never liked it and I just don't 'get' it.

Don't forget the denim jacket.

StarlightLady · 01/10/2022 09:43

I'm not doing very well on the last 3 here, I sometimes have visible bra straps, I wear trainers with dresses and I have a pink denim jacket. Waiting for the MN Police to knock on the door 😂.

JOFFCV · 01/10/2022 10:05

There seems to be big jeans debate going on this year.

RoseyPalm · 01/10/2022 10:43

Many of the styles would not be so bad if they fitted. FFS If you are size 14 buy a 14 don't wrestle yourself into a 12. The bulges only draw attention, and not in a nice way.
Just because your mate looks good in low rise white jeans, it does not mean you have to wear similar.

JOFFCV · 01/10/2022 11:04

The boot cut and flares suit my body shape. I also wear straight leg with turn ups.

I look stupid in Mom & Boyfriend jeans.

I havent replaced my skinny jeans.

the80sweregreat · 01/10/2022 11:34

Skinny jeans are ok , I still look fat , but not as fat! It's smoke n mirrors

MintyGreenDreams · 28/09/2022 21:23

Perms on little boys.I work at a primary and a lot of tgen have this really short cut with a mop of perm on the top

On little boys and big boys! Why? I’ve never seen it suit anyone 🤔

Nomorefuckstogive · 04/10/2022 21:55

Liorae · 01/10/2022 09:00

Don't forget the denim jacket.

I get it and like it. With and without the denim jacket. Always think people dressed like this look fresh, comfortable and not too ‘try hard.’

Came on to say this, I can’t understand how it got so popular. Well I can in a way, they are comfier than heels or flats with no support, so that’s good, but from an aesthetic point of view I don’t get it at all.

GuyFawkesDay · 04/10/2022 22:01

The beige all over I keep seeing. Drove past 3 women the other day all in beige leggings and coats of varying descriptions. They looked so bizarre.

Cropped jumpers. Every sodding one this season. I am large of nork and they look truly hideous on me.

Pleather leggings. Actually, pleather skirts too. Weird.

HandbagAtDawn · 05/10/2022 13:28

I agree about the beige thing. Beige leggings are so unflattering - they make you look naked!
