Um...I used to have big holes in my ears, could fit my fingers through, but they shrunk back to normal after I wised up grew out of the emo phase.

Ooh, I forgot camel. Anything camel. It just says 'baby shit tan' to me.

Behooven · 07/04/2016 19:15

Wide leg flappy trousers with heels make me angry

ARichVernacular · 07/04/2016 19:18

In the interests of disclosure, I have/love/wear:

Tattoos
Skater dresses
Birkies
Animal print
Leggings under dresses
Cardigans

...and probably loads more things deemed as crimes on this thread.

DH wears short sleeved shirts and he is teh sex.

Wearing black all the time. Nothing but black. Boring and unimaginative.
Mumsy bobbed hairdos, especially the ones where the back bit is shorter than the front side bits - can't think of the official name for these haircuts.
Dyed blonde mumsy hairdos.
Leggings worn as trousers, especially with no nether garments.
Ballet pumps, apart from on ballet dancers while they're dancing. They're really bad for your feet, as there's nothing to support your heels.
Big hairy Old Testament prophet style beards on men. Just awful.

MrsT2007 · 07/04/2016 19:31

I too am s proud wearer of skinny jeans, loafers, Breton tops, and - joules jumper. And at least 4 'vintage' fat face ones from uni days.

Mea culpa

Ditsy4 · 07/04/2016 19:31

Anything with animal print.

SchnitzelVonKrumm · 07/04/2016 20:00

What is it with the eyebrows? I though it was just orange teenagers but we visited family in Dublin last week and my SILs (all in their 40s, generally very elegant) and even MIL were sporting them! IT LOOKS RIDICULOUS

SchnitzelVonKrumm · 07/04/2016 20:06

Football shirts on anyone not actually playing football.

SchnitzelVonKrumm · 07/04/2016 20:14

On the plane back from Dublin there were several portly middle-aged men (stag party, I reckon) wearing skinny jeans with a low crotch. From behind they gave the effect of a toddler wearing a very full nappy. Just no.

bolleauxnouveau · 07/04/2016 20:50

Ronseal tans & statement necklaces draped on wrinkly decollatage are fugly to me.

randomer · 07/04/2016 20:51

can't find any decent or even indecent trousers to fit.
Made a mistake and got a mum bob hair do.

frolific · 07/04/2016 21:01

Michael Kors handbags

shinynewusername · 07/04/2016 21:05

Everything from Cath Kidson, White Stuff & Joules
Everything patterned or in any way embellished by Boden (I like their plain T shirts though)
Leopard print: sorry, Cara Delevingne, even you look like Bet Lynch.
North Face jackets worn over business clothes (complete hypocrisy as I sometimes wear my lovely warm Rab jacket to work)
Gladiator sandals
Fascinators
High heels if you can't walk in them
Yellow shirts - they suit no one
Middle aged men in board shorts (unless actually boarding)

AgentCooper · 07/04/2016 21:08

Bodywarmers (especially those quilted ones, worn with a pastel shirt underneath by both men and women, uuurrrgh)

Skater dresses

Converse

369thegoosedrankwine · 07/04/2016 21:17

Adult nightwear with teddy bears/ Disney etc....hate them...

shinynewusername · 07/04/2016 21:19

Adult nightwear with teddy bears/ Disney etc

YY. Wrong in every way.

Claraoswald36 · 07/04/2016 21:23

Agent and shiny - this is my issue!! You can't mix sports and formal it looks stupid. Plus a body warmer over a shirt makes you look like you're at pony club.

Claraoswald36 · 07/04/2016 21:24

And like a retired person

MargotLovedTom · 07/04/2016 21:25

That awful clay/beige coloured lip gloss - makes people look like they have a slug for a mouth.
Overly large and overly dazzling white teeth - as in Rylan (the current darling of MN).
Long squared off nails, or even worse those pointy claw/talon nails. Vile!
Huge platform stilletos.

I hate seeing young women now absolutely plastered in make up, groomed and dyed and blow dried and waxed and buffed and trussed up to within an inch of their lives. When I was their age (only early 1990s!) we slapped on a bit of make up and headed off out. We didn't spend hours and hours and hours on grooming with the aim of looking as if we were going for a professional photo shoot.

In fact, the whole lap-dancer aesthetic that has taken over fashion - spray tan, French manicured acrylic nails (boak), Hollywood waxes, tombstone veneers. WTF do you want to look like you've escaped from a cheap strip joint in Minneapolis?

Lykke1000 · 07/04/2016 22:02

SuperDry anything (looks really cheap, like a life-size advert)
Adidas, Nike "cool" casual trainers (mandatory footwear)
tattoos, especially "interesting" ones, a la mauri or some tribal pattern
fake tan (not just extreme orange), but ALL fake tan - it's just not natural - it's too even, wrong tone and never looks good.
sleeveless long jackets
rubber sandals (teenage girls)
very high rise skinny jeans, no matter how fat it makes you look
mandatory LV, Gucci, Mulberry or similar mega-expensive (your monthly salary) handbags
fake leather (plastic) handbags
messy nail polish (flaking off)
mandatory ombre hair
NorthFace sporty jackets for everyday wear (with a suit)
freezing! wearing a t-shirt, flip-flops, just a hoodie in the winter and shivering

echt · 07/04/2016 22:04

Athletic gear worn when not actually engaging in any sporting activity.

Hats in cars, usually baseball = utter cuntery.

Beachwear worn off the beach.

Ronseal tans & statement necklaces draped on wrinkly decollatage are fugly to me. Ah, wondered how long it would take for a pop at the older woman turn up.
Hmm

liletsthepink · 07/04/2016 22:19

Strapless wedding dresses which look awful on many brides. They really don't suit anyone who is overweight or underweight. I don't enjoy seeing back fat or bones sticking out from an otherwise beautiful dress. They have been popular for quite a few years and I just can't understand why.

Behooven · 07/04/2016 22:22

Comments used in a derogatory manner of "mumsy" and "retired person" are a sign of immature intellect IMHO. I love being a mum and I suppose that's how I look
