Stripper shoes I call them

CupanTaeiSiochain · 02/11/2019 18:01

Over the knee boots seem to have returned, they're awful.

SpiderCharlotte · 02/11/2019 18:19

I saw a pair of perspex court shoes today, they were horrific! I really hate feel though that that may cloud my judgement as I hate seeing anyone's trotters, including my own. 😂

Dull coloured ,tiered , printed , pilgrim peasant , maxi and midi dresses . They make everyone look Amish.

TeaAddict235 · 02/11/2019 18:33

Towie make up: fake eyebrows, fake tan, heavy strobing (?!),

Cold shoulders

Ankle slimming trousers (rubbish)

Those horrid ribbed tops that are 3/4 length and fitted and , worse of all, in bland muesli colours.

Powder on lips

Lip liners on nude lips

Plastered back hair into a hairband with tonnes of gel (makes you look like you have a massive head)

ZaZathecat · 02/11/2019 18:39

Fishnet tights which come up higher than the jeans, showing waistband of said tights.

thespellhasbeenbroken123 · 02/11/2019 18:43

Lip fillers
Just horrific

CherryPavlova · 02/11/2019 18:44

Day dresses that are so long they hover above the ankle. Sleeveless dresses for winter.

SpiderCharlotte · 02/11/2019 18:45

I though cold shoulder tops would have done the off by now but sadly they seem to be hanging around.

All these dull dingy colours that have been 'in' the past few winters. Eww, no thank you. I'm a Winter and they make me look ill.

Vegan 'leather'. It's not leather and you're not fooling anyone. It's nasty plastic-y stuff that makes your feet sweaty and despite being plastic never seems to last as long as leather. (My leather boots from TU are on their fourth winter and weren't that expensive. I'm going to be very sad when they fall apart.)

TooExtraImmatureCheddar · 02/11/2019 19:06

Smock minidresses. I’m a short hourglass and they do me absolutely no favours.

ichbineinstasumer · 02/11/2019 19:09

Not sure if this is a thing or not but I have noticed quite a bit recently that men seem to be wearing shorts when it isn't summer, isn't warm and really, it's winter and are your knees not cold?

Also a lack of socks, but not confined to men, nor to people of any particular age, People, some anyway, seem to have taken against socks.

AntCrawley · 02/11/2019 19:14

Wide culottes, mom jeans, cycling shorts, puffa michellin man jackets, crop tops, brown lipstick, oversized denim jackets, dungarees and pinafores, midi anything, swedish backpacks, airpods, gold and tortoise jewellery, tracks and fila, baby hair, gel nails, bare ankles, visible ankle socks, hair sliders, bushy eyebrows, spider lashes, bodycons.

Elyat · 02/11/2019 19:17

All tops seem to be at least a bit cropped. I want something that is longer than my bloody belly button.

Frilly sleeves, cold shoulder tops.

Ravenrob · 02/11/2019 19:19

Those big chunky trainers.

ginghamstarfish · 02/11/2019 19:23

Not that current as it's almost winter, but the trend for men wearing no socks with suit/smart outfit, flashing bare ankles .... yuk, and must be sweaty (unless they are secretly wearing little footsie socks?)

SpiderCharlotte · 02/11/2019 19:31

Oh I can't stand the no socks thing either!

DontCallMeShitley · 02/11/2019 19:43

Slug eyebrows, blown up lips and gigantic surgically enhanced arses, natural curvy bums are fine but why make a normal bum look like it is a sofa?

Wide legged trousers, short enough to show knee high boots. Cossack style looks better on a Cossack.

Hair that is tortured into turd shapes, pretending to be 'waves'.

Cold shoulder tops, clunky heeled boots. Real fur (dog) trims on hoods and pompom hats and those stupid dog fur pompom keyrings and bag charms.

Low gussets on jeans and trousers, that little space at the top of the legs - ewwww.

Delatron · 02/11/2019 19:45

Mom jeans with your top tucked in. The endless fashion for crop tops.
I love my skinny jeans and I feel I should be wearing baggy mom jeans but they look awful on me.
Lip fillers are horrific and we are losing sense of perspective with all these instagram selfies. Natural needs to come back. It looks so good.

Loveislandaddict · 02/11/2019 19:48

Neon coloured tops

Ripped jeans (I know not a new fashion)

Cold shoulder tops

Rockbird · 02/11/2019 19:50

AirPods are a fashion? Wow, I thought they were just earphones. Wahey, I have something fashionable after all...

UnicornsExist · 02/11/2019 19:51

Midi dresses. They finish in just the wrong place on me so I look and feel frumpy.
Eyebrows. Why? Just why would anyone want to draw what looks like marker pen slugs above their eyes?? They are often so bad that the wearer looks like a clown or my 3 year old has attacked them with a sharpie.
Duck pouts. Again, just why would you want your lips to resemble a cats anus?

UnicornsExist · 02/11/2019 19:53

Oh, and generally anyone looking fake like Kardashians.

thenewaveragebear1983 · 02/11/2019 19:58

Oh god. The eyebrows. Even friends of mine who I always thought were sensible have fallen for the eyebrow thing, and once they have it once they'll never go back.

Anything excessive face-wise actually: fillers, teeth whitening, Botox, eyelash extensions, highlighting powder. It makes caricatures of people.

I love all the woolly tweedy stuff that's in, but I despise all the mustard and black coloured ones that are out. i want an emerald green, turquoise, etc
