Styles you don't admire?

[ilovethewinter]

First of all I apologise for the title of this post, I couldn't think of a better way to explain it! Do you have a style that is popular at the moment that you absolutely loathe ? The reason I ask this is because, today I have been out in my local town and noticed a lot of women wearing a certain type of look, but not sure how to describe it. Quilted fitted jackets, tightish or bootleg jeans, some sort of boots, animal print scarf, designer handbag and gold jewellery. I'm really not keen on this look, but they might not be keen on mine, so each to their own! Just wondered if anyone else feels this way about certain looks?

Ok I've looked at those examples whereismyhat and still have never, ever seen them out and about. And I work in the City but commute home north. Bizarre. bet come Monday they are fucking EVERYWHERE

I'll allow the cloche, plus the occasional beret

Who said wedge trainers? ARGH. Why don't we just wear stiletto flippers and be done with it...

May I add pale pink/peach skinny jeans and leggings. From the distance it looks like you forgot your trews.

Shorts and tights where the tights have an obvious change of texture at the top of the thigh WHICH IS VISIBLE

Cropped tops on 99.743% of the population.

Oh god, if I saw someone wearing a bowler hat, I would make like PG Wodehouse and chuck a bun at it.

Ah sorry Laurie. I wear skinny jeans (sometimes leggings!) and UGGs though so...!

Different strokes.

bobble hats perched on top of the head

DD2 does it and it looks ridiculous

Catherine Cookson bags, especially pastel ones with black winter clothes.

I like skater and tea dresses.

Heehee bad news for the LuluLemon haters.

They have barely scratched the European market yet.

They are just putting a European team together in a new London head office and will be expanding rapidly over the next year....

Brace yourselves!

Fake tan, false eyelashes and drawn on eyebrows. What do young women think this is a good look?

Ignore the link, cut and paste mix up.

I thought of another look I'm not a fan of - faux geeky glasses. The rectangular, thick framed type that Gok Wan advertises.

I clearly spend far too much of my time judging other people's fashion choices

I seem to swing between sheer envy at people's budget / figure, and annoyance at people who don't (IMO) make the best of themselves despite clearly caring and trying.

But it's all subjective innit. Fashion, I think you have to be judging others to care really.

Oops that was a bit incoherent

Alexa Chung always reminds me of a knitwear catalogue model. I think it's the nothing medium, ordinary hair, viscose blouses and wallpaper face.

I can't understand how she's supposed to be a style icon. She always looks hickey imo.

Not even hickey in an ironic way. Just dull and badly executed hickey.

She was a knitwear model funnily enough - saw her in some old (1997 ish) Rowan magazines I dug out to ebay the other day.

Any sweatpants with words on the rear end.

All bob hairstyles.
Stupid long fringes that look like combovers.

Kitten heels.
Shoes with pointy toes.
Shoes with 6+ inch heels.

Disney themed clothes for anyone but especially women over age 11.

I also hate it when people, men and women wear summer clothing at the slightest hint of sunshine, vest tops etc in March.

Oh dear, I'm fucked. I wear skinnies, trainers (both wedge and flat, including the Marant originals) and have a bob with a sweeping fringe.

I really appreciate the variety out there - the only thing that gets my goat are ill-fitting clothes or drab ones worn to blend into the background.

I did really enjoy the 'bow-legged, incontinent sparrow' description though!

I too like the varieties of styles people wear. But where I am, well there's not a great deal of variation which can get dull.

I did see a full on TOWIE/WAG person in m&s last week. Honestly she looked amazing from her Louboutins up to her gold sunglasses worn inside on a grey day. She also had the biggest diamond ring I have ever seen. I was trying to work out if I should know her as believe me we don't get many folk like that round these parts

Well I fancied the skater dress thing but thankfully for the rest of you -the majority of them are in viscose so I have let that pass me by. I still do leggings though. In my defence though I do not look like an oompa loompa, have a cottage bun, or those wedge trainers. I may well have comedy eyebrows because I cannot see well enough to do my sparse brows. Not as mad as some I have seen. I also don't wear a sleeveless quilted jerkin type thing (forgotten the exact name for the monstronsity) or a puffa jacket (why purposely like like the michelin man/boiler lagging.

We get quite a few of those cottage bun type hairdos amongst the chavvies with their hard faces and comedy brows, oompa lumpa make up.

You see I've lived in my gilet this winter and also love my duvet coat.

I also wear fake tan but don't have scouse brows - a woman I work with does though and I am transfixed by them in meetings.

My dd will be exulted to know all her favorites are frowned on in mums net world. Patterned leggings, skater dresses, shorts with tights. She is 16 though and loathes "year 9" eyebrows, uggs, velour track suits and orange makeup.

I love that insult, 'so year 9'!

Bowler hats? Where do you lot live?

I've though of another but suspect in only happens in the small town I'm from in Wales. A body warmer with short sleeved t-shirts/ vests, totally missing the point. The same men were the ones who wore flipflops and shorts in college in December and were doing 'Rugby Studies'.
