Current trends you REALLY don't like?

[SpiderCharlotte]

For me it's perspex shoes. No.

I also hate those pinafore dresses (great on my 6 year old niece, wouldn't wear after the age of 8) and colourful tights. A blue/red/burgundy/insert colour of choice leg just never looks good.

Contouring make up, false eyelashes or eyelash extensions. Animal print anything.

Wide legged midi length trousers/culottes. I haven't seen anyone look good in them. I needed a poker face when a colleague pitched up in some yesterday.

I really don't like seeing someone wearing a bum bag diagonally across their front, it looks so ridiculous IMO.

The open/cold shoulder thing. It just looks unfinished to me.

I'm not a fan of the massively thick/heavy eyebrows and the incredibly lush eyelashes look. Was talking to someone today who looked as though she'd glued two brooms to her eyelids.
Absolutely personal choice though.

CountFosco Thank you for replying. I had never thought of it as a class thing before. Interesting though.

Eye brows, with thick over done contoured make up and lip fillers. Going to all that effort, and then wearing sweats and trainers.

Fake tan, scary eyebrows, men in skinny jeans/trousers, cold shoulder tops, animal print anything, fake fur anything (it always gets in my mouth), eyelash/mohair type designs (mohair i find really itchy and they look like it's gone fluffy/bobbly) boucle (again, looks like it's gone bobbly), strapless/halterneck stuff (more summer i know but with a large chest there's not a chance that those strappy straps/no straps will disguise my scaffolding straps).

I also don't get the 'tucking in' of everything. Be it front bit or all completely tucked in.

I'm tall but my height is in my upper half with legs that need petite trousers. I also have a large chest so tops get pulled up even more. I like a longline top of at least 32/33" for security so it covers lumps and bumps and doesn't flash my stomach/back when I reach up on a top shelf for something. The last thing I'd want to do is tuck it all in and expose everything!

I am one of those who wears trousers with 'dresses' but that's only because dresses are usually the only things I can get that are 32-34/35 etc inches long as there aren't too many tunics that I like. I kind of do wear them more as a tunic. I wouldn't dream of wearing them on their own or with tights, it'd be obscene as they only just skim the bottom of my bum/ sit very top of thigh)

(Maxi dresses/knee length dresses I do wear with tights/on their own)

Also the whole alternative 1950s/rockabilly trend
Is that a current trend? I used to wear it 20 years ago 🤔

Currently I dislike the trend for cropped trousers. The whole point of boots is to keep you warm. I don’t see why you’d wear trousers that stop just above the boots so your ankles get cold.

I agree with CountFosco. Several of the “trends” mentioned are actually class shibboleths. Slug brows are an easy way to identify chavs.

Same here, I wear “dresses” as tunics because normal tunics are too short. Also love knitted dresses as lovely long jumpers. Like you, I would look obscene wearing them as actual dresses.

Little house on the prairie dresses were fashionable in 1970 ish - they were Laura Ashley dresses. And flared jeans before that- just copying from the past.

Boxfox same here, one of my favourite Christmas jumpers is apparently a jumper dress but at 34 inches I'd be flashing what I'd had for christmas dinner in its own

I've been having botox between my eyebrows for years. I don't have botox face, nobody even knows. DP included.

Decent botox doesn't look like botox.

High necks. They’re everywhere. I have big breasts and need a v neck to avoid the shelf effect.

Wow. I feel inspired. 👍👍

Yes to those floral dresses as worn by Carrie Simmons. With a "women! Cover yourself up!" vibe.

I get my eyebrows tinted and always have a fear I'm going to be walking around looking like Gerald the baby who is Maggie's rival on the Simpsons. But my brows are very scanty.

Plastic tat that is dressed up as fashion, so false nails, plastic clothing aka polyester, plastic shoes, plastic fake leather bags.

And the amount of plastic in beauty products, for example the tubes and bottles, hair dye kits etc.

Ugh! Are we not listening to the issue of environment and climate change?

The fashion industry has a lot to answer for, but really the buck stops with the individuals that keep buying this shit.

I love high necks - they suit us pear shape figures with small boobs.

Why do the threads always have to degenerate into slagging women off. Can people not just talk about what they don’t like without having to make it about other women?

I’ve no idea who Carrie Simmons is, but I’m loving baggy floral dresses. I don’t know what’s suddenly wrong with “covering up”? Honestly we can’t win. Show an inch of flesh and we are MDL or chavs or Liz McDonald; wear a boho dress and we are repressed, buttoned up, asexual frumps.

Jeans. More like jeggings. No! I don't want stretch. I want old fashioned thick jeans.
