I can't even bear to look at those eyebrows!
Me neither!
I teach secondary and a depressingly high number of girls even in Y8/9 - ie age 13/14 - have them now Sad

MrsMarigold · 07/04/2016 16:59

^^^Those eyebrows, women with chunky upper arms in sleeveless tops, anything by Hotter, false eyelashes, coloured contact lenses, anything by Adidas, beige or stone, oatmeal wtf?, the Duchess of Cambridge eyeliner and those horrid ageing skirt suits she wears, Gucci loafers with snaffles for men, lilac anything, corsages, men in speedos (even worse if they have a shorts tan), raglan jumpers from the 90s, handbags with hardware, bouffant hair, anyone in long socks especially over the knee, plus twos, plus fours, adults in wellies that are patterned...

IlPorcupinoNilSodomyEst · 07/04/2016 17:10

Did you know that Speedos are compulsory for men if they wish to swim in a public pool in France? Can't wear board shorts. DH refused!

Cabbagedcrust · 07/04/2016 17:16

Any tattoos, hideous! Will all be regretted in later life especially those ones all the way into the neck!

rightknockered · 07/04/2016 17:30

Ok, have to say I like block heeled shoes. Easier than walking in stilettos.

ThenLaterWhenItGotDark · 07/04/2016 17:30

Those half mast trousers in chino style material that British women wear in summer. For some reason they are always beige and never ironed and worn by the lover of the equally vile Birkenstock.

Claraoswald36 · 07/04/2016 17:31

Wearing anything with a hood with heels. Especially hoodies with boot it jeans and mum boots. Makes me irrationally angry.

Claraoswald36 · 07/04/2016 17:32

Thenlater - agree but they don't pair them with birks they pair them with those fuck awful sport sandals. I would burn every pair

BlueEyedWonder · 07/04/2016 17:48

Fake Uggs (Esp when heel collapses at the back)
Crocs (Vom)
3/4 length trousers (I'm short. They look BAD)

Strapless jersey maxi dresses (Flatter NOBODY)

Agree with pp about pockets ruining a very nice top. So pointless and they look awful.

GingerMerkin · 07/04/2016 17:57

The hairstyle Nancy from Eastenders has.
Mumsy Kate Middleton outfits.
Tops with soppy tiny pockets over the bosom.
Onesies.
Strappy tops and knicker shorts as per large ladies on the beach.
Thick makeup, frosted lipgloss eyeshadow etc.

I am happy to wear anything leopard skin

Aintree style.

MizK · 07/04/2016 18:13

Speaking of Aintree, did anyone see the DM article about what the women were wearing?

I thought it was the meanest thing I've read in ages. I know we are listing pet hates and so on , but they were ridiculing the women there, some of whom weren't even posing for pics, just walking along. I just felt that some of those women probably felt pretty good about themselves til they saw that 😐
sorry to go off on a tangent, it's just been bugging me all day!

MrsT2007 · 07/04/2016 18:32

Uggs
Crocs
Any sandals with haggard manky feet exposed
Leggings, especially the cheap ones you can see bum cheek/pants through
Flesh tunnels. You will regret it when you're 45.
Anything from per una. I'm sure colour blind people design it.
Badly fitting bras. Specifically the 'four boobs' look.
YSL touché Eclat I agree with! Don't highlight your bags ffs, it looks awful!
Badly done fake tan. Rob seal shaded knuckles and ankle bones, niiiiiiice.

Men: Short sleeved shirts. Though long sleeved ones rolled up = yummy. Why is that?!!!
Man leggings
Low crotched trousers. Just why.
Big beards. Nope, not sexy. I'm sure they are to others but I just think of the Twits.

Madbengalmum · 07/04/2016 18:35

Men in 3/4 length shorts, so naff

Twinklestein · 07/04/2016 18:36

The DM is a vile little rag, but to be fair some of those women look wretched and it's entirely their own doing.

Cabbagedcrust · 07/04/2016 18:39

The DM article on Aintree is particularly cruel this year. Im sure there are just as many fashion faux pas at Ascot and Cheltenham but the DM has a particular fondness for ridiculing Northern women. 😕

laughingGnomette · 07/04/2016 18:40

Double denim.

Floisme · 07/04/2016 18:45

Ok I am an out and proud wearer of:
Flats - always
Brogues - love them
Loafers
Animal print
Wide leg crops - bought some for the summer
Breton tops
Waxed jacket
Leggings with dresses though never, ever as trousers

Jeans with dresses. I will concede this might not look quite as good as I once thought.

And I've hankered after purple hair since I was 5 and will definitely try it one day.
