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?

I can't bear asymmetric things, sloping hems, one-shoulder dresses etc. There is an infestation of those daft tops with droopy tails at the back. And skirts that are knee-length at the front and long at the back - horrible.

I've always loathed polka dots for some reason, just look frumpy to me.

Just asked dp and he says my leggings are like skinny jeans they are decent ones though! If you need a long top or dress over them then that surely defeats the object

countrykitten · 01/01/2013 18:18

Spuddybean liking the floral and veggie comparisons...! You got me on the black though - currently wearing black cords and a black cuddly cardi.

countrykitten · 01/01/2013 18:18

Oh and - waterfall cardigans....WTF??????????????????

HugoDarling · 01/01/2013 18:19

In Rome last summer all the beautiful young girls were wearing harem pants and looked bloody amazing. I suspect the Italians are a breed apart though!

HugoDarling · 01/01/2013 18:20

YY to waterfall cardigans. And anything Per Una

Spuddybean · 01/01/2013 18:20

what the hell are 'waterfall cardigans'?

noddyholder · 01/01/2013 18:20

Harems are nice with a very plain top and flat sandals

CointreauVersial · 01/01/2013 18:20

And knitted/fluffy/fabric boots.

Why the hell would you wear something on your feet that is instantly going to be trashed by contact with a dirty pavement or the smallest muddy puddle?

Why not make shoes out of.....oh, I don't know.....leather or rubber.....you know, something which is actually going to do the job?

simplesusan · 01/01/2013 18:25

Waterfall cardis are the ones that kind of ripple down the front, like a waterfall!
Thay don't fasten and are usually long.

InNeedOfBrandy · 01/01/2013 18:29

This is not my thread

I love

Ballet shoes
Skinny jeans
Big hair
Messy big hair with immaculate make up
Big rings and necklaces earings
Skulls
Water full cardis
Leggings
Uggs and other boots outside the jeans
Hand bag in the crook of my arm
Big heals high tops and vans
And I do have track suit days whenbim not going to the gym.

In fact I always say better to be over dressed thenunder dressed

colleysmill · 01/01/2013 18:32

Definately guilty of wearing biker style boots with skirts (slightly relieved I'm not hopelessly out of touch)

It's a throwback to the days when I wore doc martins with everything

EwanHoozami · 01/01/2013 18:32

Why do people wear T-shirts emblazoned with pictures of other people who are more attractive than them? You will only look like shit in comparison.

InNeedOfBrandy · 01/01/2013 18:37

I have a wicked bob marly t shirt, looks lovely with my big hair skinny jeans and ballet shoes Grin

FryOneFatManic · 01/01/2013 18:37

I hate the fashion for wearing trousers round the knees, exposing underwear. Firstly, it makes the blokes look weird, like they have an abnormally long body with midget legs. And secondly because around here it hasn't been unusual for the said underwear to be dirty.........

Alisvolatpropiis · 01/01/2013 18:38

inneed

I wear loads of the same stuff you do . I just think everyone else is wrong Grin

Especially about the skinny jeans and animal print. Next someone will be saying red shoes are tarty! I have shamelessly worn all three at the same time Grin

countrykitten · 01/01/2013 18:43

InNeedofaBrandy I am assuming that you are about 19? Please don't say you are in your 30s!

JammySplodger · 01/01/2013 18:45

Another one who cannot stand animal prints, in any form, at any age. It's just wrong, wrong and awful all at once.

robbins · 01/01/2013 18:51

Black is all I wear maybe a bit of red and purple but it has to be a special occasion - that black also often has skulls on and my leather jacket with have studs normally silver deadly looking ones Wink

LadyBeagleEyes · 01/01/2013 18:54

Why can't InNeedofBrandy dress like that in her 30's?

BaublesAndCuntingCarolSingers · 01/01/2013 18:54

I had no idea that animal print was so maligned!

I cannot stand those jumpers that look like the wearer is wearing a shirt underneath but actually it is just the collar/top bit of the shirt sewn into the jumper. WTAF are they for? They are shit beyond words.

I hate it when young men wear those awful jeans with the tight cuffs around the ankle, with esperdillos. And a Barbour-esque quilted jacket. What look are you going for, chaps? Urban man about town or farm-hand? Make up your mind.

Girls going out in midwinter with no coats on and very skimpy outfits. I actually wound my car window down the other night to advise some girls at the crossing to put a coat on. They were shivering. Why?! Why girls?! Even as a teenager, I wouldn't go out underdressed for the weather. Hypothermia ain't attractive.

InNeedOfBrandy · 01/01/2013 18:54

I am 24 and addicted to leopard print

I love love love red shoes and I love jump suits and play suits to Grin

Alis they are all wrong let's have our own thread about fashion we love!

I also like the see through blouses Grin I thought they were quite dressy and classy

Alisvolatpropiis · 01/01/2013 18:55

Seriously...InNeed has to be 19 because what? Otherwise she has to wear more age appropriate clothes? Wtf Confused

Alisvolatpropiis · 01/01/2013 18:56

InNeed I'm also 24.

I have a slightly sheer leopard print blouse from Zara,it's my new favourite Smile

InNeedOfBrandy · 01/01/2013 18:57

I will never grow old and dress old, I will be mutton dressed as lamb all my life.
