That Trinny and Susannah thing of wearing trousers under dresses and also wearing trousers that are so long that it looks like you don't have feet. Victoria Beckham still does the No Feet thing.

UndeniablyGenX · 23/12/2024 19:16

Trainers as everyday footwear.

Floisme · 23/12/2024 19:17

Not specific to 2024 but trainers. I understand them (I think), just don't like them.

Floisme · 23/12/2024 19:18

Ha GenX beat me to it!

soupfiend · 23/12/2024 19:18

Cargo pockets on all trousers.

I know they're very popular but I only want to see them on electricians or carpenters thank you.

Runingoncaffeine · 23/12/2024 19:19

I am gonna add crocs as every day wear… or even considering it fashion wear…

Blakehouse · 23/12/2024 19:27

Crop tops

Great big flappy dresses

Flesh coloured skin tight leggings- hilarious to see a seemingly half naked person walking along the street!

TheOGCCL · 23/12/2024 19:38

DMs. Just think they are clumpy and ugly, and always have.

Isitjustme20 · 23/12/2024 19:39

Thought of another- dry robes

Tomatina · 23/12/2024 19:39

The return of the bare midriff... in winter! It was wet here yesterday with a really bitter cold wind and I saw several women outdoors, wearing very short, puffy jackets which left at least six inches of naked flesh between jacket and trousers. Also a woman on a station platform in a thin, off the shoulder top, denim skirt and bare legs. How do they stand it?

PS this was daytime, so they weren't nightclubbing, and I don't live in Newcastle!

Pinkelephant66 · 23/12/2024 19:40

Oh yes beige leggings. So weird!!

crocs

yeezys

Neveranynamesleft · 23/12/2024 19:48

Those knitted head band things that look like part of a woolly hat. How is that going to keep your head warm ??

RealHousewivesOfTaunton · 23/12/2024 19:51

I have one. It's brilliant for keeping me warm and dry when standing on a muddy field watching DS play football on Saturday mornings.

So many people not bothering to think about trends specific to 2024 and just naming fashions/clothing items/shoes they don't like.🙄

Fluffy sliders.

The scrunchy up your bum leggings that make you look like you've got a wedgie - bonus points if they're beige.

Bum bags worn like a sash, over one shoulder.

Pulled up white sports socks.

Toenail extensions. Actually make me feel a bit queasy when I see them.
