to ask what 'fashion' you hate?

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?

Why do they even make them in adult sizes?

my dd has a lion king teeshirt she is 19 I think its kitch or kookie or retro or 'something' Grin she squeeled on christmas day

I love my pepulum (spellcheck!) dress. I've got an okay figure except for my stomach. It lets me wear a tight dress but takes away from being clingy over my stomach with a sticky out bit!

I HATE NEON. It is vile. Unless you are at a rave or cycling to work, neon is not nice.

Lots of posters seem to be very out of date with fashions. I don't think anyones worn stuff with a playboy logo on in at least 5 years have they?

Shutupanddrive · 01/01/2013 17:19

Oh and when you flick the liquid eyeliner out to the side of your eye in a line - why?

really MrsJay well i suppose she can probably carry it off a little better than a 45 yr old driving instructer called Brian with a "Tigger"sweatshirt Grin

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 01/01/2013 17:27

I quite like men in jeans and a blazer - not that dp would ever sport such a get up.

MargeySimpson · 01/01/2013 17:28

oh really? I stand corrected Grin that is vom inducing

i think you like what you like, i like hitop trainer but i love isabel marants whole collections doesn't really matter if it's in or not, just the style

think availability of fashion is fab now, in the 80s you couldn't get anything nice unless you paid lots of money or made it

DonderandBlitzen · 01/01/2013 17:30

Peplums, Bungle Feet (Uggs,) leggings without something worn over them to cover the bum

80sMum · 01/01/2013 17:33

Trousers with waistbands so low that your bum shows when you bend over. Oh, and those horribly ugly thong knickers that show above the back waistband. They remind me too much of the old fashioned sanitary belts we all used to have to wear. Very unflattering and downright uncomfortable!!

TheSmallClanger · 01/01/2013 17:36

I'm pretty easy-going about fashion, but I'd like to see the back of maxi dresses every summer, because I don't like them and they are everywhere.

Also, I have occasion for an evening dress coming up, and they still all have rigid corset-style tops, all too often strapless. I don't like, want or need corsetry. I am now fantasising about a voluminous Abigail's Party/Margo Leadbetter number, possibly with a matching turban.Xmas Grin

PickledInAPearTree · 01/01/2013 17:38

They are handy for those of us with bad legs!

I would sell my first born for a McQueen clutch bag.

TheSmallClanger · 01/01/2013 17:50

Clutch bags - that's another one.

Handbags should have a strap. I don't want to get a claw hand from carrying a handbag in it.

This is annoying because there are many lovely handbags which are clutch style, that I would happily buy if they had straps.

EuroShagmore · 01/01/2013 17:50

Leggings with a short top. We can see your knickers! Stoppit. It's just wrong.

Bad fake tan (so pretty much all of it then).

Those patterned knitted winter leggings. I have yet to see them on anybody and think "ooo, they look great" rather than "euw nasty knitted sausage legs".

Porn star nails. So cheap looking.

Hooker shoes. The tube was full of women tottering about in these last night. If they are too high to walk in properly you just look silly and will probably end the night sitting on the pavement crying your mascara off while you take them off and carry them home getting cold feet covered in London pavement ick into the bargain.

StepAwayFromTheEcclesCakes · 01/01/2013 17:50

I don't like seeing young girls so plastered in orange foundation that they look like a waxwork. I so want to 'take them in hand' and show them how lovely they could look in a tone that matches their complexion and enhances their beauty rather than obliterates it.
