False nails;
Short jackets (actually make that too short jackets, ie with bit of skin showing above waistband) with a furry trimmed hood;

Muffin tops.

donnie · 06/12/2008 18:26

ooh you are flaming today MSB!!!!

tattoos on the small of the back above pants - arse antlers? vom!

whoingodsnameami · 06/12/2008 18:27

I think short jackets with long jumpers underneath are worse, and long tailored coats with trainers, cringe.

whoingodsnameami · 06/12/2008 18:29

Couples with matching jackets/coats.

And jeans with denim jackets (same colour)

CountViscount · 06/12/2008 18:39

Boden velvet coats - they were like busses in Waitrose the other day.

DoubleBluff · 06/12/2008 18:45

Sportswear when not doing sport.
Esp football tops on women. Yeuch

honestfriend · 06/12/2008 18:45

what about jeans- or any kind of casual trousers - with low heeled court shoes and socks?

elastic waist trousers.

anything made of polyester

bellies hanging over jeans with a lot of flesh showing.

fleeces when you aren't going on a walk or doing something outdoorsy.

southeastastra · 06/12/2008 18:46

sheepskin boots tucked into trousers.

blametheparents · 06/12/2008 18:46

White socks, unless sports socks.

honestfriend · 06/12/2008 18:47

?? do you mean trousers tucked into sheepskin boots?

Jewelsandgems · 06/12/2008 20:32

I used to think I was so cool wearing my Karen Millen fake fur coat (to the knee), wide legged trousers and - horror of horror - adidas shell toe trainers Honastly, I used to strutt

Also used to wear the same-denim-jacket-and-jeans combo.

God.

Sidge · 06/12/2008 20:48

Black bras under white tops/blouses.

Mini skirts with Ugg boots and bare legs.

Thongs showing above your jeans/trousers.

katch · 06/12/2008 20:54

Ankle boots under a not-quite-long-enough skirt - where you can see several inches of stumpy-looking calf.

katch · 06/12/2008 20:54

Culottes - either wear a skirt or trousers ffs.

roundcornvirgin · 06/12/2008 20:56

visible g-strings
camel toes

slayerette · 06/12/2008 20:58

Another vote for tramp stamps (tattoos on small of back) and whale tails (thongs showing above trousers). Soooooooo grim.

Black bras under white tops - yup, also grim.

Football shirts...

ravenAK · 06/12/2008 20:59

Anything with the brand name printed on the arse.

Full slap for Saturday morning grocery shopping/Sunday morning in the park.

roundcornvirgin · 06/12/2008 20:59

god yes football shirts - people wear them to the gym ffs.

wastingmyeducation · 06/12/2008 20:59

donnie are they not known as a 'tramp stamp'?

Jewelsandgems the first picture you paint was of me in 1999. To be honest I would probably still dress like that if my fur coat fit.
The second is of everyone on non-uniform day in ooh, about 1992?

Fat birds in tight short-sleeved tops.

wastingmyeducation · 06/12/2008 21:00

slayerette quicker at the typing than me!

Jewelsandgems · 06/12/2008 21:07

I am not a fan nof those clear bra straps - especially on some (larger) women where in kinda digs in and gives a very unflattering effect.

SantasNuttySTaff · 06/12/2008 21:10

i have a lovely large tattoo just above the small of my back ithankyouverymuch (i am no tramp either!) hardly ever on show apart from summer in a bikini or backless tops when clubbing

wastingmyeducation · 06/12/2008 21:55

They can be very attractive Santas, I had a friend with a gorgeous tattoo on her lower back. As soon as something becomes popular it's thought of as 'common' unfortunately and the bad rep comes with it.

TackyChristmasLights · 06/12/2008 22:11

tracksuit trousers in a 'dancewear' style
camouflage dresses (kids and women)
crocs of any description - don't care how comfy.

DoubleBluff · 07/12/2008 09:46

velvet trackie bottoms with 'juicy' or 'sexy' writtne on the bum.
Very classy
