vile trends of the last decade

[herjazz]

was thinking t'other day how past 10 years mainly characterised by fashion revivals. But then started to mull over some of the original howlers the noughties have served us..

ok from start:-

big squares of horrid coloured belly dancer scarf.. mostly folded over and tied round the waist of fat arsed women in misguided belief that it was a clever masking technique

mules with clear perspex top - again usually embellished with some ribbon or jewels

I know people are going to diss Uggs, but I'm still going to wear mine while I can. They are like walking on air. They may look like shit but may as well go with a comfortable fashion while you can. When I think of the pointy toed, spikey heeled boots I used to wear for the sake of fashion - ouchy.

While I'm at it, yes, I hate kitten heels and stilletos. They get stuck between paving slabs and they need replacing every 3 weeks.

Rock T shirts for bands like The Ramones being sold in Next to people who have no idea who The Ramones are.

three quarter combat style trousers

The wags look - terribly sad in a way of trying ever so hard and still looking cheap and tarty.

Paris Hilton look - herself is prime example of the fact that money does not buy style nor class. Never mind elegance. Well, 'tis more of recent trendlett, really. Should be banned though.

Fake tan - bad. Bad. Bad.

entertaining thread
fake orange tan is the most of hideous fashion crime of all time.

Playsuits.

Oh yes Funnylittlefrog (love the name BTW), Ramones Tshirts in Next. For the Rockchick look, as decreed by magazines.

Though I'd love to locate a Ramones babygro for DD.

has anyone mentioned those vile thai fishermen trousers with the crotch hanging between the knees, why would anyone want to wear them?

and the 10 hairstyles on one head look, play mine and ds's game next time you're out see how many you can count!

Oversized fugly bags made by Louis Vuitton et al. Normally fake from the market, but always hideous.

Blonde/black hairstyle has been mentioned. But I also hated the one which was short, slicked straight with a side parting at the front and all spiky at the back.

A few years ago every other woman seemed to be wearing a white broderie anglaise peasanty skirt coupled with a large belt. That wasn't a good look.

The trend I would really like to see the back off is that of teenage boys wearing their trousers virtually off their bums, with some really scuzzy pants underneath. Are teenage girls really attracted to that, or am I just getting old?!

hmm, i agree with you, sometimes i feel like holding their trousers and shake them in
will that help

argyll tank tops - mostly due to jealousy cos i willnever have the flat chested skinny figure to make them look good.

aaaarghh yes as a rock fan myself i HATE it when band t shirts become popular and people wear them because grazia magazine says the rock chick look is "in" and they are worn by complete fashion victim TWATS who wouldn't know a led zeppelin / ramones / AC/DC / g n r song if it BIT THEM ON THEIR TRENDY ARSES!!!!!

yes one of my pet fashion hates.....

mummyee do you look llike suzy quatro?

no biscuitface i don't particularly!!

why do you ask??

Orange fake tan
Swept over fringes....like a comb-over from ear-to-ear
anything in Burberry check

Spent years writing about fashion and agree with Shitemum...that the time frame between 'fashions' is shortening. Oh no, there'll be a'boho' and 'power dressing' revival very shortly...

Skinny jeans with ballet slipper flats and a wide belt cutting them off at the middle for good measure. This will make EVERYONE look short and dumpy - and it doesn't help that it's short-legged girls with round bottoms who seem to love them the most.

'Jesus Loves' belts.

does he?

Fake, square, dazzlingly white nails.

Bobby Charlton comb-over fringe.

Diamante thongs.

Burberry caps, watch straps etc.

Bling.

Jane Norman carrier bags.

Over-whitened teeth.

mens fashion - the fanjo haircut.

3/4 length white trousers. (actually that one goes for women too)

'rap' style super-baggies.

'emo' arse smotherering jeans ala russell brand

'paint-spattered' anything. give me a clean print or emblem any day.

womens -

shorts for work. shorts with tights. just shorts.

ragged-hem finishes. those never wash well.

the mini skirt & leggings look. The tunic & leggins look. Leggings.

'sleeves' - what was the point?

'bolero shrug' - an easy way to shorten your body, and highlight the round of your tummy all the more..

turn up 3/4 length jeans like female rappers...ususally worn with cotton head scarf. this is not 'Save the last dance'

wide belts. Skinny belts. any belt that is aded as an afterthought but serves no purpose other than to distort the waist.

I've stopped slagging off the trousers-hanging-off-arse trend since a copper friend of mine told me he thinks it's brilliant...makes it much easier to catch the trouble-making ones as their trousers fall down and trip them up when they try to run away!

Fake tan, poker-straight hair, fake nails, whitened teeth, pointy shoes...round here the women all look like this when on a night out, and it's depressing. Nothing about them looks real. And yes, they wear Ugg boots too.

Ugg boots seem like such a lovely idea, all warm and cosy, but I can't stand that they have become such a Burberryesque icon.
