Fashion expressions that annoy you

[MaryKateWA]

Does anyone have any phrases that make them twitch?

Mine is people saying they were diagnosed or self-diagnosed as a season. You don't have an illness or a problem. Colours are analysed or you can be draped as a season.

I'll ready the biscuits

A 'pop' of colour.

Luxe
On point

I suspect 'on point' is a translation fail of 'en pointe'..? Not sure though but agree hate!

Not relevant to thread, but many people spell 'en route' as 'on route'...

A piece. Ugh

Also agree with the singular instead of pair thing. It looks stupid. A red lip (what colour is the other one?), a smoky eye (ditto)... argh

'Crisp' white shirt.....shudder.

Wearing a handbag. I always picture them with a bag shoved over their head. Also people who call their bag "she/her".

Also people who call their bag "she/her".

^^ yes this!

Also when people give their bag a name or call it 'the baby'

Teamed with

Pop of colour - this one really sets my teeth on edge

Great Price point

A Splash of bet

"I'm wearing a red lip"

Sourced
Knit

Agree about the singular rather than the pair. 'She was wearing a great boot'. Who is she, Mr Magnolia?

Another vote for 'capsule wardrobe'

‘How would you style it’.
Sets me on edge. Possibly irrational. But on edge++. Do you mean what jumper and shoes I’d wear with it?

The ‘diagnosis’ of a colour season, I find it funny. As a pp said, it makes it sound like an illness.

The usual - red lip, high boot, trouser, a fine knit, a cropped jean, all annoys.

But by far the most annoying thing is that I’ve heard myself use these phrases! Oh the shame. Seems by osmosis I have begun to fashion-speak. Oh the shame. I really need to watch myself.

"Who are you wearing?" "Who is this?" Usually uttered by people who want to know the designer of a specific "piece" or "boot." It makes me cringe.

“I’m wearing a red lip’. No. Clothes are for wearing. Lipstick sticks to your lips, it can’t just be pulled on and off.

'Do we still like.....' posts on Mumsnet.

I want to suggest they get their own opinions and not wait for the masses to decide. I hate the expression so so much.

Iconic - particularly when refereeing to something that has just come into the shops for the first time i.e this seasons collection.

Of the moment
On 'fleek' (what is a fleek?)

Faux. It's fake. And vintage anything. It's second hand.

Another vote for investment pieces. Anything that can be rendered worthless by a messy sandwich, washing machine or weight gain/loss isn't really an investment is it?

A shoe. Really, just the one?

Price point

'Pre-loved'
