I'm easy whatever people want to wear, variety is the spice, etc, but for me, an hourglass, low waisted dresses, which make look like a fat matron, or sometimes a chubby schoolgirl.
I hate having high necklines, which always make me feel constricted and choked, not to mention looking like a big slab in them.
Low rise jeans, gawd no. I need high waisted ones.
I don't like “midi” dresses which are too short, as they all seem to be nowadays. When I was a gel, they were at mid calf, which I prefer.
Cold shoulders dresses, specifically to show off my broad shoulders? No thanks.

Oh dear, hit a nerve, has it? Which one? The patterned wooden dressers?

No.

Other people's choices don't worry me.

I certainly don't wear wooden dresses. I'm not Aunt Sally.

Why would me not enjoying a pile-on make you think you'd hit a nerve?

I just think these threads always encourage small-minded bollockry.

You have absolutely no idea hiw I dress. I bet you couldn't even guess.

OoooohMatron · 15/11/2022 20:17

I don't really hate anything as long as it suits the person wearing it. I'm 43 and wouldn't be seen dead in a crop top, but if you've got a washboard stomach it'll look great!

EastCoker · 15/11/2022 20:23

But @OoooohMatron you wouldn't be seen dead in a crop-top, not because you're 43, but because You feel that crop tops are not for you any more.

MsChatterbox · 15/11/2022 20:26

The leggings with all the shading/ripples etc around the bum that are there to make it look bigger... I don't really hate them just find them a bit cringey and look at me... Especially cringey on the school run

SpeckofDustUponMySoul · 15/11/2022 20:28

I don't think there's anything I particularly hate in terms of fashion or style.
I guess I can sometimes think that a particular outfit doesn't suit someone, but that's me being judgemental, which I shouldn't be.

Florst · 15/11/2022 20:34

Agree with you about logos, especially dislike designer logo belts/bags, but very small logos are acceptable if gym wear
Sequins
Velvet
Animal print
Leather or ripped trousers
White boots
Shift dresses/tunics/anything without a defined waist
And probably controversial but I really hate heels

WiddlinDiddlin · 15/11/2022 20:35

I can dislike a particular fashion or trend and think it looks silly/fugly/whatever and still respect other peoples choices to wear whatever the fuck they like - I wouldn't TELL someone I don't like what they're wearing (Well, I might if they actually asked for an honest opinion!).

I reallllllly don't like cropped length jumpers/hoodies/jackets and it's not the bare midriff itself... it's this idea of clothing that doesn't actually cover you up.

For me, clothes are for being warm - so a jumper or sweatshirt that stops at the end of your ribcage, yet has a hood on it.. is bloody stupid.

Ditto, jumpers that skim the waistband of your jeans so any time you move they ride up. Whats the fucking point?

The people I spot wearing these things always look cold and seem to be constantly pulling the garment down, so they don't appear comfy for those who wear them either!

Not keen on the high necked long sleeved amish farmer dresses thing either - I think they make everyone look uniformly dowdy, no matter what shape you are.

Impossibly skinny jeans particularly on men, where one needs to have zero body fat and ideally, minimal muscle too, just skeleton legs really... to get them on. They look uncomfortable, I've heard people complain they're cutting off circulation to the lower leg, and who wants legs to look knobbly and skeletal?

Past trends... (I assume..!).. baseball caps balanced on top of the head precariously high - why? Don't understand. Trousers hanging beneath the barely existant arse so we all have to look at underpants and it affects the persons gait... again? Eh?

But then I wear clothes to be comfy and warm. For I am an old fart and apparently, always have been.

motleymop · 15/11/2022 20:37

I really don't get the cropped and slightly flared jeans - wtf is that all about!

Dungarees on an adult amongst other things

I look fucking amazing in mine.

I hate folk who choose to judge others' choices. Bore off.

I'm interested to know about the 10% of the time that DMs are OK.....

Worried1305 · 15/11/2022 20:41

Skinny jeans. Look awful on pretty much anyone, unless you’re Kate Moss. No idea how they lasted so long as a “thing”.

ScrabbleChamp64 · 15/11/2022 20:41

Sliders with socks
Crocs
“Slob-chic”- this is what I’m calling the way some gen z are dressing now, going out in public in clothes I would wear to clean my bathroom and doss on the sofa

neverbeenskiing · 15/11/2022 20:41

Shoulder pads
Big puffed sleeves, don't mind more subtle ones
Coloured tights
Ballet flats on adults (cute on little girls though)
Gingham
Peplums
Kitten heels
Oversized sunglasses
Those ridiculous cage sphere handbags
Massive logos
Anything by fat face, white stuff, joules or Boden
Skinny jeans on men
Short sleeve shirts on men (long sleeves rolled up looks a million times better)

I still love skinny jeans!

Same. I'm perfectly happy to potter along in my dungarees and Docs, and my bonkers patterned dresses and Docs. I don't give a monkey's if anyone likes or dislikes my clothes personally, so long as I don't have beans down my front.

SocksAndTheCity · 15/11/2022 20:41

Heels
Flowery dresses with trainers and denim or leather jackets
Full walking/hiking gear worn in central London (always with huge rucksacks that are never taken off on the underground and hit me in the face)

ScrabbleChamp64 · 15/11/2022 20:42

Actually more than anything what I can’t stand is when people can’t/won’t dress appropriately for the occasion 😑

UWhatNow · 15/11/2022 19:24

Puffy sleeves. Please no more of them. It makes those of us with big knockers look like the talking wardrobe in Beauty and the Beast.

Guilty as charged.

Oops.

My hates are anything that doesn't suit the wearers style, shape or colouring.

@Puffalicious i love adult women wearing dungarees.
evey woman I know who wear them is cool and interesting but also down to earth. My sister asked who my neighbour was at a party and wanted to meet her just based on the fact that said neighbour was wearing dungarees!

Ripped holey jeans they look awful. Scruffy and horrible.
