I'm not sure why people take thread like this personally - I don't care what people think about my decorating style or clothes choices!

I've committed many sins here - I live in DM's and skinny jeans!

I dislike lace and bias-cut things that never fit me right, Uggs and obviously 'designer' things

NeverDropYourMooncup · 15/11/2022 21:47

Anything labelled 'knee length'.

Considering I have a 27" inside leg measurement and they still barely cover half my thighs, anybody not as stumpy of leg as me must need a bikini wax to be able to wear the bastarding things.

There is more to life than a thousand frocks in only ditzy florals or animal print. Can we not have things in plain colours that aren't all black? Texture's alright, it's the bloody awful prints that by now all look the bloody same.

I don't actually want my tits out at work, but I can't stand having choking necklines, either.

Don't mind slightly puffier sleeves, as at least that means I can keep going to the gym and not frighten late middleaged male professionals with my bicep development unless I want to.

All trousers. Not because I dislike trousers, but because Standard, Short and Extra short means absolutely FUCK ALL. Give me an actual measurement for the actual item of clothing you're flogging, not a generic size guide that also bears precisely zero relation to anything you're selling.

If I allow trousers to pass because it's not their fault I'm a miniscule 5'6" (yes, sarcasm, above average height yet still too short for their trousers), trousers without pockets and no belt loops. It's going to gape at my lower back. At least give me the option of using a belt for a) finishing off the outfit and b) not giving all and sundry a good look at the underwear.

Frill, flounces, tiers and ruffles.

Leather (well, plastic) as an item of officewear.

Cut outs, deep splits and nightshirt hems.

Blazers with ready destroyed - sorry, ruched - sleeves. Give me the choice to do the Miami Vice thing, damnit. And stop with the 'relaxed'. All that means is you can't be fucked with paying the extra for some decent stitching and lining. And the pockets are going to be fucking fake.

'Recycled'. Yeah, you mean 'synthetic', don't you?

Flesh coloured leggings with a crop top & camel toe.

antelopevalley · 15/11/2022 21:52

I do not like white people flesh coloured leggings because I always think the woman is half naked at first.

CristianaRonalda · 15/11/2022 21:58

Crocs, yes! I have a very hot dentist but one glance at his totally justified footwear puts me off and snaps me out of any fantasies! So so ugly but so very useful in killing an awkward crush.

XenoBitch · 15/11/2022 22:00

The 'sex doll' look.. the badly drawn on eyebrows, over filled lips, blonde hair and fake tan.
They all look the same.

Purpleberet · 15/11/2022 22:01

Crocs
Uggs
Balenciaga sock trainers

Flesh coloured leggings with a crop top & camel toe.

This I my pet hate as well. The ones where you can actually see the outline of the fadge and the camel toe, not forgetting the bum cheeks. I never know where to put my eyes when I come across someone wearing this get up 😵😵

CaptainThe95thRifles · 15/11/2022 22:07

I won't wear anything frilly, puffy or flouncy, and I don't like overly tight clothing. I tend to look as though I could set out on a military campaign or an epic question to lob some unwanted jewellery into a volcano without having to pop home and change first.

Other people, of course, can wear whatever they like and I'm certainly not judging them for it - I often think others look lovely in things which I would feel daft in.

Another one not liking the flesh colour leggings and crop top trend . Not that I would consider it on myself (!) but I don't like seeing young women dressed like this either .

For myself I don't like too many ruffles, frills, patterns or high necks . They look fine on other people .

I don't like threads like this.

I declined to post on the interior design thread for exactly the same reason

I think it's poor to sneer at other people's style.

Concentrate on yourself. If you're that brilliant you don't need to tell yourself how shit everyone else is.

This.

Iamboredandgoingforatwix · 15/11/2022 22:34

I'm not too concerned with what other people wear, but clothes that aren't for me are:

Ballet flats (painful when walking on gravel/rocky path)
Mickey Mouse clothes (he's an incoherent prat)
Thongs
Weird colour schemes like lime, tan and pink
Baby pink
Toast clothes are a bit handmaid's tale.
Kitten heels
Midi dresses
Band t-shirts worn by people who have clearly never liked the band or even listened to them

"Cropped"
"Ankle-length"
"Bracelet-length"

Stop trying to skimp on fabric! I don't want cold ankles and wrists!

And high-waisted anything, makes my whole bum, hip, lower stomach area look vast.

Crocs
men who wear loafers without socks
men in 3/4 length trousers or shorts
in kid clothes I don’t like the Scandi print trends (Frugi as an example)

Thegannethasfled · 15/11/2022 23:20

Totes agree this is a judgy judgemental judgy pants people thread but I'm still reading it and judging all the judgy pants people for judging.

Mine are skinny, otherwise not distressed jeans with one random clean rip in the knee. Looks like you accidentally snipped it when cutting something else.

also raw hems on tops/jumpers and jeans, whyyy
