Fashion items that have been popular but you just have not understood why?

[Britpopbaby]

in 2024!

Lighthearted!

Loafers with everything from jeans to dresses with ankle socks.

The leggings and socks combo.

Lobster print dresses

Trainers are always being worn for fashion either. My feet are so much better now I wear trainers nearly all the time. Even just wearing heels in the office gave me foot pain. Fuck heels.

I've loved 2024 fashion.

I've never been so warm, comfortable and dry with such happy feet!! Long may it continue.

Mesh Mary janes that were inexplicably so popular this summer. Made every foot look misshapen & ugly.
I adore teddy bear borg though...

Size 10 leggings on size 14 ladies. They get so stretched that they go transparent and you can see their knickers. And of course UGG boots.

I absolutely loathe loafers though as any time I've had some they rub my feet to fuck.

Socks and sliders. In public. Wtaf.

Dresses with a high neck / ruffled frill.
No thanks.

Ankle socks and leggings
Calf length puffer gilets

And me. I don't understand them and they all look the same.

Waistcoats as tops.
Scrunch bum leggings.
Those mesh shoes a pp mentioned.

No. I don't understand it.

The "ironic bad fashion" fashion. Everyone looking like they have walked out of the cover of an LP of church music made in some obscure part of southern states of America in the 1960s

Ra-ra skirts, peplum tops/dresses, leg warmers, open fronted, waterfall cardigans, coatigans, sleepwear as outdoor wear, lounge wear, shell suits, pussy cat bow blouses, 7/8 length or ankle grazer trousers, cargo pants and a special place in Hell goes to.....

Drumroll please

Gilets/bodywarmers - as someone with Reynaud's Syndrome, the last thing I need is something which leaves my arms uncovered. Fuck. That

Those boots with open toes and/or open heels. Why?
Wear sandals or sling backs if you want open toes or heels, but not boots.
Agree with the nude coloured leggings, especially when they look several sizes too small.

Those ghastly long puffer gilets/sleeveless coat.

Oh and wearing shorts with a coat and Woolley hat.

Everything being shapeless. Can we go back to clothes fitting please.

Think I’ll be in minority but I’ve not enjoyed the chunky shoe/boot trend over the past years… the worst ones were like wellies (sometimes white with a huge black tyre-track sole) and strongly remind me of something o you’d need to wear working in an abattoir…

I love a penny loafer. Chic and so easy to wear. I hope they stay in style for the next couple of summers so we can wear with bare legs and dresses.

I was really confused when I saw these. Gilets are good for when it's chilly but not cold. Long puffer coats are for when it's like Siberia outside. They might not be stylish but they're practical. So what's the point in chopping the sleeves off? In coat weather you're going to freeze and in gilet weather you'll overheat. I don't get what they're for.

The latest model of Barbour jacket for men. The Ogston?
Too short, too tight and the two chest pockets make men look like they have boobs.
Anything for men with two chest pockets.

Doc Marten Mary Janes.

Those huge thick matted mohair scarves.

Large shapeless frumpy tent like dresses, often with floral or garish patterns on them. This fashion has been around for a while, looking forward to fitted flattering attractive dresses being available this summer, though I'm not holding my breath.
Wearing shorts in freezing cold weather.
Long puffer coats.

Guilty. I missed the 2024 but in the OP. Still, it's nice to talk fashion bloopers.

Here's 2 from 2024: eyelashes that look like black tarantulas and inflated lips.

Sliders and socks. (They're flip flops actually, but.....)

Midi dresses
Buffet dresses
