For me:

Frills on tops
Big, stupid sleeves

'Dipped hem' tops. I think that's what they're called? Where the back of the top is longer than the front. I don't think they look good on anyone, but especially if you have a curvy bum. I look and feel like I'm wearing a nappy!

Pointy long nails.

VinnyTheVagina · 14/01/2018 20:52

Caterpillar 🐛 eyebrows
Contouring
False eyelashes
Duck pout on photos, please!!!!

MikeUniformMike · 14/01/2018 20:52

Acrylic nails.

ChickenVindaloo2 · 14/01/2018 20:53

I like statement sleeves!

VinnyTheVagina · 14/01/2018 20:53

Oh yes to the silly t shirts and pointy nails!
T shirts also with French on, usually grammatically incorrect.

SingaSong12 · 14/01/2018 20:53

Tops with incredibly long sleeves - I simply can't be bothered pushing my sleeves up all the time.

Really what I want is more choice - fine to have all the unusual sleeves you want but also have some basics with full sleeves the length of people's arms, no cold shoulders or odd shapes

Nettletheelf · 14/01/2018 20:56

Those terrible brows, and ham fisted contouring.

I fear that wretched polyester is here to stay. You really have to hunt for cotton and wool now, and shops have that awful cheap chemical smell from the synthetic fibres.

Summerisdone · 14/01/2018 20:58

I agree to seeing the end of the frilly tops, also I’d like to see the end of the ankle grazing jeans, especially if the bottoms are frayed (people just look like they’re ready for the bloody floods).
Mom jeans are another that really must go, I don’t think they’re flattering on anyone, they make larger bums looks strangely spread out and flatter bums just look even flatter.

A trend that seems to be coming back this year are the popper trackies, and I’m just praying that despite loads of instagrammers wearing them, and the shops stocking them, they don’t take off because they are quite possibly the single most awful item of clothing I remember from the 90’s

IWannaSeeHowItEnds · 14/01/2018 21:02

Coffin finger nails. Really ugly.
I miss the short squoval!

mercurymaze · 14/01/2018 21:11

stage make up in the daytime

10thingsIhateAboutTheDailyMail · 14/01/2018 21:13

Anything crew neck

So many tops now boxy and crew neck, perenially unflattering!!!

Kitsharrington · 14/01/2018 21:14

Cold fucking shoulders.

orangina · 14/01/2018 21:17

Cold shoulders, cut outs and ruffles.

Plus flowers on everything.

And weird asymmetric boxy heels on sock boots. Gah!

Mooveover · 14/01/2018 21:18

Cold shoulder tops. Never seen one I thought looked good on anyone.

Heavily draw on eyebrows

Mooveover · 14/01/2018 21:19

Drawn not draw

rightknockered · 14/01/2018 21:21

Oversized clothes

Bardot tops
Everything worn by the Kardashians

TossDaily · 14/01/2018 21:24

Frills.
Peplums.
Massive eyebrows.
Contouring.

PNGirl · 14/01/2018 21:26

People complaining they want bootcut jeans back!

Also cold shoulder tops and massive oversized checked blazers.

Valerion · 14/01/2018 21:28

Big rectangular, slug eyebrows.
SKINNY jeans. Please, please when will you GO?
Silly fluffy flappy tops, sleeves and whatever else they adorn.
Those sleeves with big gaping spaces on the shoulder??? do they have a name?
Cardigans with no buttons or belt. I want to wrap my cardigan securely around me.
All the wool jumpers, especially the ultra light woolly ones. Horrible.
Fake tanning. Awful, just awful. everyone should go back to their natural colour UNLESS its a proper sun tan, that's quite nice.
Anything higher than a 4inch shoe heel should go.

The world should be a slightyly better place after that.

TeaAddict235 · 14/01/2018 21:31

thick heavy eyebrows
contouring
high waist mom jeans
trainers for non sport wearers

TeaAddict235 · 14/01/2018 21:35

@Tossdaily

for men, stop this hipster stuff and shave and wash yer face. don't lunge at me wishing me a merry Christmas whilst looking like Mr Twit. Don't do it. ever.

Noooooo, can't live without trainers.... and I'm not giving up my leggings, or jeans with lycra

CointreauVersial · 15/01/2018 00:34

Florals. Especially the long frilled dresses. Who the hell looks good in them?

Argeles · 15/01/2018 00:47

Slugs for eyebrows.

Crop tops.

Tight gym wear worn purely to show off the fact that you do work out, and make it appear you are constantly going to & from the gym.

Big nerdish 90’s style glasses.

‘Feminist’ logo t shirts, and any others concerning ‘girl vibes’ and ‘girls do it better.’ Fucking get over yourself. And yes, I am a woman saying this.
