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

Those awful Kardashian bras with built-in nipples!

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

Agree! I have never owned a pair of leggings or skinny jeans. I am not built for them fortunately, and I get the Max Wall reference😆

Wide leg trousers - especially corduroy in purple or mustard, worn just below mid calf and teamed with Dr Marten ankle boots. They make the wearer look like a children’s Tv presenter, it’s a look very popular with the London weekend visitors.

Yes this. People who think they look edgy. They just look shit.

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

My DDs have converted me to Millennial socks with trainers. They keep your ankles lovely and toasty.

Cold shoulder tops. I get cold shoulders! 😁

I absolutely hate these 🤮

Potato Tops.

Mars Bar Contouring.

Both look cheap.

I don't know what either of these are! (Slopes off to Google...!)

Anything involving nail bars.

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

I’ve got awful flat feet, so high heels are really comfy for me! Can wear them all day, not that I get the chance to very often.

The massive eye brows that the youth seem to favour. Also those weird hoop stretched ears.

BrightonFrock · 30/01/2025 19:18

Those weird high neck, balloon sleeves dresses always getting recommended in Style and Beauty.

I remember wearing the bodies in the late 80s. It was a nightmare trying to do the poppers up very drunk!

Agree with most of the above but I do think wide legged trousers (not ridiculously wide though) look quite good if you're reasonably slim. Much more flattering than skinnies..

I never undid them. Just hooked to one side for a pee lol!

Skin coloured, skin tight all over clothing. Like a giant brownish/beigeish unitard. Worn by chunky girls so they look like a raw sausage.

Oh god yes! And those hideous “butt scrunch” shorts - just about passable on slim, tanned legs, but always worn by girls with lily-white thighs like Will Carling… and in beige!!

SnidelyWhiplash · 30/01/2025 19:30

With my 7/8 leggings and trainer socks, I might as well walk into my gym classes with a zimmer frame. But I will NOT wear long socks. They make everyone’s legs look like tree trunks.

Oppenovverandout · 30/01/2025 19:31

Stupid eyebrows, tattoos, up your bum hole leggings.

Wide leg ankle grazer trousers, just no!

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

Tends to be a location thing. You don't see it from detached houses but do from flats and terraces, from observation. May be wrong

"Up your bum hole leggings " Smile...that really made me chuckle 😃 😀

  • Tattoos
  • Scrunch-bum leggings
  • Injectables and "Turkey teeth"
  • And as this isn't the S&B board, grey house interiors

Scrunch bum leggings!!!!

I forgot to add - those shapeless winter coats that look like dressing gowns. So unflattering! Bethany Platt had one on on Corrie the other night and just looked awful. I kept wondering why this beautiful young woman had made herself look like she’d escaped from rehab.
