Impulse body spray..stinks

Anyone else?

Any animal print unless worn by an animal.

LanaorAna1 · 06/04/2016 21:29

I loathe trends that you have to be genetically exceptional to pull off because a) they're hostile & misogynist b) a lot of people wear them anyway.
My shit list:

  1. Wearing nothing but jersey neutrals. Screams downtrodden mum, the Drudge in Sludge.
  2. Deliberately messy hair. Not adorably boho, just unkempt.
  3. Skinny jeans.
  4. Daisy dukes with the arse cut away that show off your vulva, tights optional.
  5. I have broken all the rules above except 4. Because by 2pm even I don't want to broadcast a smelly fanny.

Oh, I wear loads of the stuff that have been listed here, too, Grin Never mind.

YES to burgundy hair! Also, lovely, floaty Summer dresses with leggings worn underneath, and strappy tops/dresses with t-shirts worn underneath.

Also, anything Kath Kidston.

I'm rather frightened to ask what Flesh tunnels are Confused.

Anyhow, trousers under dresses.

Velvet tracksuits- no, that behind could never be described as 'juicy'.

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 06/04/2016 21:57

Fleece tops.

HoundoftheBaskervilles · 06/04/2016 22:27

I'm generally utterly unconcerned about anyone else's clothing choices, I do find HD brows worrying though. It concerns me that anyone could look at them and think they are enhancing their face in anyway, you have to wonder what other life-decisions they are making.

Tate15 · 06/04/2016 23:38

The turtle neck sleeveless top!

YaySirNaySir · 07/04/2016 00:09

Boot cut jeans

Those fugly sketchers go walk shoes that are always recommended on every thread about trainers. WTF! Just get a pair of Nikes

GrinAndTonic · 07/04/2016 06:51

Crocs
Ugg boots - just reminds me of shazza off housos
Pre ripped jeans
Skinny jeans on men (ahh testicular separation and definition anyone?)
Fleece jackets with wolves on them
Adult pj's with cartoon characters on them (they seem to think that all plus size women want minnie mouse on their nighties)

Im sure I will think of more

ARichVernacular · 07/04/2016 07:10

Loafers. I have no issue with people choosing to wear them, it's just that the things themselves make me feel sick.

NantucketNightbird · 07/04/2016 07:49

Breton tops
Leggings worn as trousers
Too much makeup

ItGoesWithoutSaying · 07/04/2016 08:50

My list:

  • Uggs
  • Dresses worn over jeans - WTF? That's what tights are for. Or leggings if you must.
  • Bootcut jeans
  • Trainers that look like running shoes when not exercising

I think we should all confess to the things we wear that have been condemned here! I wear:

  • Animal print
  • Shorts with tights (not the bum-showing ones I hasten to add)
  • skater dresses
ItGoesWithoutSaying · 07/04/2016 08:58

GrinAndTonic:
Skinny jeans on men (ahh testicular separation and definition anyone?)

I like skinny jeans on men - so long as they are not that tight! Grin

Could probably have a list of things I don't like on men:

  • tan shoes with blue jeans
  • arse or pants showing over the top of jeans (boak)
  • baseball or snap-back hats
  • puffa jackets
  • Superdry, G-Star (or similar brands) t-shirts

I could go on....

Those hair bun things!!

NantucketNightbird · 07/04/2016 10:13

I wear leggings with tunic style tops (which cover my bum) but never as trousers
Uggs (but they are biker boot style with a zip)
Floral dresses
Skater dresses

MitzyLeFrouf · 07/04/2016 10:34

I'll never be parted from my animal prints!

MmeGuillotine · 07/04/2016 11:57

Tattoos. Pink hair. Fifties styling. Animal print. Skater dresses (but only from Black Milk because they are amazingly flattering). Yup. That's me. Grin

Behold though, this dress that arrived for me this morning. It might not be the cup of tea of many of you but it makes me feel BANGING HOT and I actually fancy myself for the first time in bloody ages so I'll live with any disapproval. Grin

The only thing that I would personally put in Style 101 are tops and dresses with those pointless little bosom pockets. MANY a perfectly nice garment has been totally ruined by them. WHAT ARE THEY FOR?! WHY DO THEY EXIST?

S&B 101 what fugliness would you put in? (lighthearted!)
hazeyjane · 07/04/2016 12:06

I have a feeling I should put myself in room 101

Gaze at my magnificence......

S&B 101 what fugliness would you put in? (lighthearted!)
ExConstance · 07/04/2016 12:54

flat shoes, un-dyed hair and baggy dresses from Hush and Fat Face. Saggy arsed trousers from M&S "Go Walk" and quilted Barbour style jackets. Taupe nail varnish, in fact anything that is nude or taupe.

oooh, yes, Marshy, Breton tops.

molyholy · 07/04/2016 12:58

Men in baggy assed pants. They look like fucking Burt singing It's a Jolly Holiday with Mary, when he is dancing with the penguins.

Them material fleecy jogging pants that you can basically see mens cocks in. Obscene. Especially when worn with a matching fleece hoodie. They look like they are wearing an adult romper suit.

ItGoesWithoutSaying · 07/04/2016 13:05

MmeGuillotine Whats the sizing and length like on those Black Milk skater dresses? Just been Googling them and some look amazing, a TARDIS one as well! They look quite short in the pictures, but are they just using tall models? I'm a UK size 10, 5'5".

whattheseithakasmean · 07/04/2016 13:09

Power perfumes - Poison, Obsession, Opium and their 80s ilk give me the boak and must be stopped.

Larger ladies in teeny spaghetti strap vests - why would you wear this item in public, unless you were a lithe twig?

Most sleeveless tops - a small sleevet at least is most women's friend.

Pale coloured leggings worn as trousers - just, no.

Stupidly high heels so the poor wearer can hardly walk - they just look like they would be so sore.

Pointy, pointy red nails - too Disney baddie for comfort.

Apart from that, I am cool with most things on this thread. Crocs and Uggs are ugly, but do look comfortbale and I love me a Breton top, don't mind animal print & any cardie usually gets my vote - so practically when you live in chilly Scotland.

Spudlet · 07/04/2016 13:26

I am wearing skinny jeans and a stripey Breton-sequel top. I regret nothing!

Mine is wax jackets on the Tube which are all pristine and don't have rips and patches where you've climbed through a barbed wire fence, or baler twine, dog biscuits and poo bags (full or empty) in the pocket. And shiny clean Hunter wellies.
