For me, it has to be thongs, bodies that fasten with those tiny poppers underneath, and false eyelashes.

Wearing long socks with trainers! Apprently it's a clear sign of a millenial but I can't move on from ankle socks

Tattoos. Particularly the eyebrows.

Botox. Fillers. BBL.

Basically anything the fucks with my body.

Another one from me, blue eyeshadow.
I loved the way the Abba girl wore it in an old video of theirs, but I would look like a man in drag if I tried it.

+1!

I can’t stand socks over leggings 😣

Loungewear and slippers on aeroplanes.

Mischance · 30/01/2025 14:26

High heels - so bad for your feet and your spine. Can't imagine why anyone might wear them.

PJ's anywhere but indoors.
Why do so many women go out in PJ's and fluffy slippers, it's the height of laziness.

Horrible, ugly shoes with block heels that seem all the rage at the minute. Also puffa jackets, everyone seems to wear them and they're so unflattering ( on me anyway! ).

LindorDoubleChoc · 30/01/2025 16:17

False nails. I find them repulsive to look at or even think about. I think I'm slightly phobic.

username299 · 30/01/2025 16:19

Long false nails or nail art.

Purplecatshopaholic · 30/01/2025 16:20

Peplum tops - those things are the work of the devil. See also capri pants/pedal pusher-type things - so aging and unflattering.

Rosesgrowonyou · 30/01/2025 16:21

Wide leg and barrel leg jeans,

BreakfastOfWaffles · 30/01/2025 16:22

Cold shoulder tops. I get cold shoulders! 😁

Ooops.

IdaGlossop · 30/01/2025 16:24

Brazilians and similar radical tampering with public hair because it's there to protect the genitals and because I am an adult woman not a prepubescent girl.

NovemberMorn · 30/01/2025 16:24

I must be really fussy, because I agree with all of the above.
Sleeveless tops if I have not shaved my underarms, I am not that 'liberated' and hope I never will be.

wide leg trousers/jeans

barrel leg trousers/jeans

Nike socks (wasn’t Nike the subject of a sweatshops scandal?)

leggings tucked into socks

shorts worn over tights

OTT false eyelashes

orange foundation

unnaturally white teeth

hi-definition brows

Boulle · 30/01/2025 16:25

Skinny jeans, leggings - basically anything skin tight on the bottom half. It makes everyone look like Max Wall.

AnnaMagnani · 30/01/2025 16:28

Nails, fillers, HD eyebrows, fake eyelashes, fake tan. I'll be honest, it's mainly because I can't be bothered. My best mate does all of these and looks amazing.

Bodies- are they back? Did them the first time round, no desire to repeat it.

Heels. Don't understand how I ever walked in them and now my bunions say no.

TheLightSideOfTheMoon · 30/01/2025 16:32

Potato Tops.

Mars Bar Contouring.

Both look cheap.

Lovethatforyouhun · 30/01/2025 16:33

Cold shoulder tops and peplums haven’t been fashionable for at least 10 years…😂

Queenofthejabs · 30/01/2025 16:35

Wide leg and barrel jeans, apparently skinnies are coming back. I suspect as wide leg and barrel look awful on everyone. They never ever stay in fashion long, as people suddenly realise they look daft.

Bodies are definitely back.
Recently, every lace top I liked the look of had the undercarriage fastenings...tiny little poppers.
I would need my glasses to do them up, and they would fall off if I bent down to fasten them.
I gave up.
