I cannot stand the wet leggings look. It really should only be worn by tall and thin people.

Also knee/thigh high boots.

And crop tops.

And shorts with your bum cheeks hanging out.

Definitely each to their own

(As I'm guilty of wearing uggs (definitely function over fashion), chelsea boots and I love my Barbour coat, which I know a majority of people hate)

so what fashion do you hate?

Wedge heels on anything but a sandal always makes me think of club-foot.

T-shirt layering where you end up with multiple straps including mismatched bra on show - why?

Peplums. Yes. Even if you have got the figure to pull one off you look like you're in fancy dress as a 40s secretary.

With Nancy on animal print. Who wants to look like Bet Lynch?

Foundation that 'blends into the jawline'. Not from the back it doesn't - can still see your ghostly neck buying up against the orange line.

Puffa jackets, quilted coats - why do you want to look like a hot water tank?

Smock tops on anyone over the age of, say, 9. Grow the fuck up.

Oh that feels better Grin

ha! yes i hate the short/long dresses too! but i love my skinny jeans snuggly uggs and i do like the odd sequin.... not together though.

Waitingforastartofall · 01/01/2013 16:15

wet look leggings,jeggings. ponytails that make the person look as though they have had a diy facelift. peep dresses - i have no idea what these are actually called but their is a big chunk of fabric missing just to show enough boob.

SantasENormaSnob · 01/01/2013 16:15

See through leggings.

Short shorts with half an arse hanging out.

Wedge trainers.

BunnyLebowski · 01/01/2013 16:15

Those quilted jackets. Market stall-tastic even if it is by Barbour.

Playsuits. SO many times I've found a cute dress in a shop only to realise it's a friggin romper suit for women Angry

Waitingforastartofall · 01/01/2013 16:16

I am currently looking for combat style jeans to wear with trainers. no chance 57 million pages of skinny jeans, carrot jeans,flared jeans. hmmm

PrincessAnastasia · 01/01/2013 16:17

Oooh but I love my uggs Wink

They are in no way fashionable but they are so bloody comfy and cosy. Good for doing the school run in.

And I draw the line at fuggs.

I also love my skinny jeans ... I just really don't like bootcut style.

White ribbed vests especially on women with big boons. Really no need for it.

Normally worn with the white vest, white see-through gypsy skirts with thongs/g-strings/bum on display.

High heels on women who clearly look uncomfortable.

Toe rings. Those copper bracelets that stain arms (Eugh). Belly rings. All types of facial piercings apart from ear piercings.

Pauls Boutique bags.

That happens to me all the time. So frustrating.

I don't hate this, I just don't get it.

Boots under jeans- why buy nice boots and then hide them under your jeans?

mrsjay · 01/01/2013 16:19

I hate the whole urban horse rider look the barbour jacket the boots the scarfy cravatte thingy . they would probbaly run a mile from a horse cos it would dirty their barbour jacket Grin

Uggs here too. It's the shuffle, it's not attractive.

DolomitesDonkey · 01/01/2013 16:19

PEPLUMS!

Skinny jeans - so mumsy. A younger woman would wear a skirt and show her skin, middle-age mums want to cover their great legs so uniform it is then!

cocolepew · 01/01/2013 16:19

WAITING I saw combat jeans in Asda a couple of weeks ago.

DameFannyGallopsBEHINDyou · 01/01/2013 16:19

I don't see the point of bootcut at ask. If your thighs are big enough to need balancing, then a straight leg gives the same effect anyway - and I say this as a thunder-thighs myself.

mrsjay · 01/01/2013 16:19

Pauls Boutique bags.

jackets

Paul's Boutique stuff is hideous.

Marne · 01/01/2013 16:20

I love ugg boots (for comfort).

I like leggings as long at they are on thin people. Most things look ok if on skinny tall people (not on short fat people like me).

I live in jeans (have skinny and boot cut) and plain tops as i have no idea what to wear on my pear shape body Sad.

Hate seeing large laddies in shorts and tights though, looks horrid.

Marne · 01/01/2013 16:21

Hate Pauls Boutique too, those coats are hidious.

NinaHeart · 01/01/2013 16:22

Onesies.
"A trouser" - they came in pairs last tinme I looked.
Large hoop earrings.

Those nasty mustard coloured chinos all the teenage boys seem to be wearing.

Messy hair and pristine make up on girls. Why? Go and comb your hair!

Foundation on your lips.
