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

Kate Moss has a lot to answer for. If you really did get in late and have nothing else to wear after leaving your boyfreind's flat in the wee hours, but a tuxedo jacket over a t-shirt and leggings, that's ok once in a while. But to make that into a trend? AAArrghhh!! Please give me a break!!!

I wish someone would bring back some real style. Where are the designers?

most of what is mentioned in this thread actually looks good and is upto date fashion for this era.

What would you rather have us wear, corsets, pantalooms and big heavy dresses like in the victorian era? you'd still be complaining then.

Trousers that you roll up and button to change the length. Trousers that zip off at various points on the leg.

the whole EMO style!!!!

cant believe no one has said that yet!! ( i know someone mentioned the emo low jean thing) but the whole style which is as follows:

what both sexes wear:

dyed black / bright red / bleach blonde overly straightened asymetric hairstyles

eyeliner

black nail varnish

neon pink nail varnish

glitter on eyes

generic band t-shirts

plug style earrings (yuk)

skintight jeans (in all different colours) hanging off their arse with their "ironic" printed pants showing

those checked vans deck style shoes

skintight t shirts

checked scarves

all manner of face piercings, particularly side lip piercings.

oh they all think they look so "different" and "unique" in their matching emo uniforms.

what are pantalooms?

am a big fan of the victoriana stuff that's been popular a couple of times in recent years actually

also like band t shirts but think you should have to answer questions at the till.. if you can't name any of the songs on master of puppets you can't have the t shirt sorta thing

remember seeing pic of david beckham in a megadeth t shirt tho which was pretty hilarious. The thought of him and victoria blasting out rust in peace! But yeah - dislike rock t shirts being worn just cos they're 'in'

Might have been more late 90s, but you still see them:

camisole tops in one colour (say pale pink) and then trimmed with lace in a completely clashing colour (say, acid green).

Just looked clashy (not classy). (See what I did there? )

parachute trousers and straightened hair

hideous, unflattering, where the heck did they come from and how last so long

Ballet pumps/flats/shoes. Horrible and unflattering on anyone. A trend I really wish would just Go Away.

What's wrong with straightened hair? Definately much better than the big frizzy perms of the past.....I look like I've been dragged through a hedge backwards if I don't straighten my hair.

But definately agree with leggings worn as trousers. There's nothing worse than some big wobbly ass in tight leggings.

Hoopy earings, side pony tails, girls in really chavvy tracksuits. (they usually wear all 3 of those together don't they?)

Neon tank tops. EUGH!

those coloured plastic bracelets originally given out by charities that became so fashionable. I really hated them.

said what would you prefer people where wearing on their feet then?

LMAO at "also like band t shirts but think you should have to answer questions at the till.. if you can't name any of the songs on master of puppets you can't have the t shirt sorta thing"

I TOTALLY agree!!!

i love band t shirts but, as i said, hate them worn by people who arent actually into the music!

I can't stop laughing - though I was around for the 70's so seeing them revived made me shiver!(I was a pre-teen so don't laugh)

Used to have some fab brown trousers with orange spots - haven't seen those back yet - the horrors may well be yet to come!

Loathe and detest the make up worn by the young laydees up here, vis:

Straightened hair, very heavy, possibly with extensions, swept over one eye with deep parting.

A good quarter inch of black eyeliner daubed on like they got the cat to apply it for them before leaving the house.

Marinated in cheap perfume (probably Impulse )

Black leggings

Bold T shirt

Redundant belt

Hideous boots

and identikit friends

Makes me glad not to be trendy TBH. Rather be a fuddy duddy that a FUGLY wugly!

Asymmetricality, (unless tall w model like proportions)

Body Glitter.

Fake Tan.

On the toes with hose thing - actually think that looks ok depending on how you work it, but then again I have more than one pair of Uggs in my wardrobe. Held out for years and finally succumbed last year! No going back now!

Here's mine:

footless tights (not leggings-love those, but like 40 deniers with no feet)

jeggings

Agree on the weird hair parting

Mobile phone 'charms'

Handbag 'charms'

Hairbands made of fake hair (boak)

Oh completely agree on the jumper with fake shirt underneath thing - saw some of these for men the other day

Skirt/trousers- Used to love mine but EEK!!!

Crocs- WHY??

the prepared for all weather look...
shorts with uggs and small vest top and a big scarf..

seriously , just look out ofthe window and choose is it winter or summer.

And really really expensive bags that are massive and as embellished and decorated with as much tat and bling as is possible. Almost anti-taste

CROCS!!!!

Everything else pales in comparison.

The absolute worst - wide belts worn under the boobs rather than on the (in fairness, usually non-existent) waist. I'm presuming that is the narrowest point of the body for some people and therefore emphasising it is assumed to be a good thing. It's not.

definitely not a sin to top up slightly. My legs would be an utter horror without a bit of colour to hide behind!

also think even worse than a belt under the boobs is no belt at all and then you just have a giant tent falling from the boobs.

LOL @ pagwatch's "all weather look"

have been guilty of that myself, uggs, bare legs, denim shorts, little vest and scarf

although i have to say the scarf was a summer scarf....does that redeem me slightly!!?? haha

high waisted trousers are on their way back? When and where? Jeans? Will they go over my bump belly or cut it in half?
So many things to agree on here, so little time.

jeans tucked into boots
Jumper dresses. Not many people can carry off knitwear.

Von.
Dutch.

3/4 length trousers. With white cankles poking out of the bottom. You can spot an English tourist a mile away when abroad 'coz they're always teaming them with spaggetti strap vests, bingo wings & burned shoulders.

I don't know what I am supposed to wear on the school run though. I'm terified one of you lot will be there, judging!
