1980s glasses. Why?! They take up half your face and are not flattering on anyone!

MBailey99 · 17/08/2023 15:04

Everything is cropped. Online shopping. That looks nice. Click photo. Cropped jumper. Cropped t-shirt. Cropped shirt. Why is everything Cropped?!

WhatInTheNameOfGodIsThis · 17/08/2023 15:05

Fake pockets 😠

EllaPaella · 17/08/2023 15:12

I love cropped tops and jumpers as they go well with high waist jeans and trousers 😊

I can't stand those skin coloured cycling shorts that I've been seeing a lot recently.

MorrisZapp · 17/08/2023 15:15

Camel worn in nudist style. I double take all the time on young women who are apparently naked.

woodhill · 17/08/2023 15:16

Necks being too high

Unflattering on me and I feel like I am being strangled

A lot of the tops are A line or have drilled sleeves which i don't like either

SquashPenguin · 17/08/2023 15:17

Definitely cropped everything. Horrible.

headcheffer · 17/08/2023 15:18

Mostly the "naked" leotards and cycling shorts combo in a ribbed skin colour fabric. Awful.

blobby10 · 17/08/2023 15:19

All the frills and ruffles on dresses and tops plus the general shapelessness of dresses classified as 'workwear'. I yearn for a reasonably priced tailored shift dress that has been lined. M&S used to do them until fairly recently priced at around £50.

Also hate the fashion for wearing leggings or tiny lycra shorts with short tops - its not flattering on anyone whatever their age or size.

Goldsilverbronze1 · 17/08/2023 15:20

Definitely the leotard unitard trend.

Reminds my what I wore for dance lessons at secondary school

Even worse in a nude colour 🤢

MissDollyMix · 17/08/2023 15:21

to be honest- nearly everything. The shapeless, clunky trend is not flattering to those of us who are petite.

Chatterboxy · 17/08/2023 15:28

Anything nude.
Peplums.
Frills, hate them & they are still everywhere!

myhusbandisarabbit · 17/08/2023 15:32

Ripped jeans - hate!
Shorts that reveal the bum cheeks.
Skinny jeans on men.
Tight shirts on men.
Tattoos all over the place.
Asymmetric top and dresses.
Filler.
Fake tan.

EternalDreamer · 17/08/2023 15:34

As others have said...cropped everything!!

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 17/08/2023 15:59

Definitely the skin tight beige stuff.

Also, tiers - so sick of them. And big, flouncy sleeves. And high necks.

BarrelOfOtters · 17/08/2023 16:00

Skin tight beige stuff - I always have a worried moment - 'oh dear has she forgotten to put any bottoms on...oh no, she hasn't it just looks like she has'

What is a half zip?

Niftythrifter · 17/08/2023 16:28

@Schnitzelvonkrummm I found this at John Lewis & Partners. What do you think? https://www.johnlewis.com/mango-stripe-zip-neck-jumper/p110570701?tmad=c&tmcampid=7&s_share=jlappios_Y29tLmFwcGxlLlVJS2l0LmFjdGl2aXR5Lk1lc3NhZ2U=

ohhhh, i thought the half zip might’ve been extra low rise jeans again…

i actually like that jumper lol

Whataretheodds · 17/08/2023 16:37

Almost everything. I'm pregnant but not far enough that I can just glory in a massive bump and not give a shit, especially as only 1 person at work knows. And I've put on weight.

So everything being about waists or baggy everywhere else is basically a nightmare

usernother · 17/08/2023 16:40

I like a half zip. But I hate cropped tops and I really hate nude gym wear worn as everyday clothing.

LolaJ87 · 17/08/2023 16:49

The big puffy shoulders on everything. I'm broad anyway and they make me look like a linebacker.

DuchessOfSausage · 17/08/2023 17:01

I seem to have a few half-zips or quarter-zips. I quite like that the neck is high but open. I look like a blob in polo necks.

Floisme · 17/08/2023 17:06

There are lots of things I dislike - flouncy dresses, trainers, nude leggings - but I don't mind too much as long as I can sit them out. The worst trends are the ones you can't avoid. Uber low waisted trousers and jeans were particularly bad, so much so they drove me to skirts and dresses for a few years. I can't think of anything at the moment in that category.

DuchessOfSausage · 17/08/2023 17:06

In my local high street, young women and teenagers seem to wear cropped tops and either skinny or mom jeans or cropped camisole type tops with leggings or cycling shorts.

The ones in jeans generally look nice but the lycra-clad ones generally don't. The ones who have toned bodies look ok but it's not a fashion I like. Athleisure generally only looks ok on athletic people.
