LoveMyLapTop · 08/02/2009 20:25

sportswear on people who quite clearly never even get off the couch let alone go to the gym!

Yurtgirl · 08/02/2009 20:27

leg warmers - seen on a mum last week

mileniwmffalcon · 08/02/2009 20:29

lol samsonara i take all my inspiration from that astronaut that drove across america wearing a nappy to kidnap her love rival

samsonara · 08/02/2009 20:34

and Ronaldinhio's list reminded me of when girls wear dungaree dresses or dungarees and have the strap part hanging down the sides and they ususally have a 36b padded cup on a 32 chest ! Dungarees are very comfy for pregnancy though!

Clary · 08/02/2009 20:35

samsonara who would wear any of those clothes ?

I'm not keen on dungarees on grown up either. Or those men's shirts yes coloured with white collar and cuffs.

Hoodies on kids are OK tho, no?

samsonara · 08/02/2009 20:40

When I said girls I meant young women. I've seen them about. A friend actually had her peruvian hat nicked by some school girls, she was walking along and they rang up and whipped it off her head..clearly its very desirable item in Streatham!

starbear · 08/02/2009 20:49

Uggs especially worn out ones with velour track bottoms with word on bum,white hooded top, hooped earrings and a ponytail with gel in hair oH! and a mobile and fag going at the same time

Hareem trousers, Why?

Leggings without tops covering the bum on fat or skinny girls. doesn't do anyone a favour. I will always remember my Dad who would never comment on clothing always point women out in legging that showed their bum and then he would just say 'WHY'?

Ronaldinhio · 08/02/2009 20:53

Also I know this isn't the place for it but

Ratty old hair extensions
Patchy tea bag orange tan
Fake porn nails half grown out
Dark lip liner pale lipstick
Clumpy spider leg mascara (only eight lashes over two eyes)

starbear · 08/02/2009 20:56

Too much hair products on men's hair. Who would want to touch it, they would have to wash their hands after!

samsonara · 08/02/2009 20:57

Velvet tracksuits in one colour are ok, it's patterned ones like Andriy Voronin's that are questionable.

DH and I always snigger at those brightly coloured moleskin trousers that posh men wear.Point to points are great for spotting them.We couldn't work out where you would be able to buy such lurid trews.Then I walked past a Ralph Lauren concession and got my answer.

ChippyMinton · 08/02/2009 21:16

alice bands

minxofmancunia · 08/02/2009 21:23

Sportswear worn outside a sporting context

Chinos

Combat pants on anyone over the age of 25

Fleeces when not engaged in outdoor pursuits

Artfully tied neck scarves

those tops with pretend waistcoat and tie/braces printed on them, horrendous

fishie · 08/02/2009 21:29

jeans with things written on the bottom. i saw a young woman with a bronze animal pattern on hers. it looked as though she had shat herself.

velour tracksuits are always wrong, house pyjamas.

jkklpu · 08/02/2009 21:40

shrugs

Heated · 08/02/2009 21:49

I like dungarees on children of primary age children but I concede you all the rest.

this encapsulates much that makes me shudder

and wtf!

pamplemousse · 08/02/2009 21:56

Those furry fleecey coats with wolves/galloping horses/tigers on them, urgh...

Amandoh · 08/02/2009 22:00

There's no way shrugs are going on the list!

Granted, the name "shrug" could be improved on but the actual garment is a Godsend to those of us with less than toned upper arms.

I suggest we swap shrugs for shorts worn with boots. A fashion contradiction surely?

WilfSell · 08/02/2009 22:03

All the clothes in Grazia this week including:

aforementioned harem pants (speshly loved the comment: 'These trousers from Reiss hit all the right fashion buttons including peg, harem and carrot...' WTF? Carrot?)
grey cropped leather jacket
stonewash denim shirt
20,000 pound dresses from Chanel.

RiaParkinson · 08/02/2009 22:05

WilfSell · 08/02/2009 22:05

Oh and brogues. No, do not say 'oh but they look lovely on Agyness Dene'

They do not EVEN look lovely on her. In fact most things on her look shite. Especially brogues.

It. Is. Not. 1985. I wore shoulder pads and brogues. Will not look like a twat again.

RiaParkinson · 08/02/2009 22:07

everyone wears neck scarves dont they?

samsonara · 08/02/2009 22:08
