Is there a fashion faux pas that just really annoys you?

Ah, granny gut is also called muffin top. :)
Shorts + fur lined boots. And the whole white after labor day thing should just go away.

I dun like the 3/4 jeans length.

Fortunately, you don’t see much of it anymore. The whole thong thing sticking out of the low rise jeans, tacky! It was compounded by the fact that they were often worn by individuals who had no business wearing them!

Hose or tights with open-toed shoes or sandals. Uuuuuugh.

Crocs. I’m sorry, but unless you’re working or something, those are disgusting. They do not look good, in any shape, way or form.

@drastic lol, I love my crocs! That said, I only wear them when I am chef-ing or gardening. I have run to the store in them, though.

Yeah, crocs need to die. I have a hand me down pair I use for when I’m working on a painting, and even then I feel silly and gross.

Old men usually but anyone with blue or blacks socks with shorts and tennis shoes or sandals.

@Drasticdreamer I agree Crocs are just plain fugly.

I have another one. Does the woman with large breasts look in the mirror and see that her shirt is pulling at every button, does she think, “Nice, I like that everyone gets the slightest glimpse of my bra!”

I’ve seen more parts of women’s butts than I care to, since this latest low pants craze. Many of these same women also treat the observer to a below the waist tatoo just above the buttocks. I never got used to this look in fat plumbers working under my sink, and I haven’t gotten used to it with fashionable women either.

When I lived in Portland Oregon I noticed a lot of the bike geeks would hack off pants like dickies about mid calf. I know why they do this to keep their pants out of the bikes chains and gears. But it looks silly especially on dudes.

@skfinkel: Ah yes, the “tramp stamp”... I hate those tattoos, too.

@buster: How long ago did you live here?

Poorly fitting clothes. No matter what your size or shape you can find something appropriate to wear. Most American women do not look good in skin tight or body baring. As gimmedat said, if you have button gap or thathorizental pull across your chest, size up-no one has to know. Also if the average-height woman weighs over 135 hi-rise shirts and low rise pants will emphasize the overflow. Likewise if you are a lost Olson sibling, tight clothes show all your bones-not attractive.

Not to leave the guys out, cargo shorts and a backward cap are cute on a 3 yo but dumb on a 43 yo.

Displaying your underwear is uncool for everyone.

But leave us oldies alone about being unfashionable. Just be glad we cover as much as we do-the more the better. I’m shopping for a burqah.

i have also heard the tramp stamp referenced as the cum target tattoo

Socks with any open toed shoes. And though I know a lot of people do it, I very much dislike high heels and jeans. Boots with a heel are ok. Jeans are casual wear.

those tacky fur lined boots!!!! Ugg?? Ugh?? Uuggggly!!!

too much cleavage when working in an elementary school,
women dressing like teenagers…because they HAVE teenagers,
to short skirts or dresses… because they dress is cute, NOT
big rain boots to work…like they are about to muck out the barn rather than teach first grade

Wow, rowenaz, I take it you work at an elementary school?People actually show up for work like that? How about the teacher who thinks her “young” style makes her popular with the kids?? Not! They see her as a hoochie just like the rest of us?!?

Yes, I do. I don’t think the kids really notice it, unless they are the boys who were retained who are hormonal… it just bothers me on principle.

Men+Tight Pants = No
Shorts and long socks – no
Pajamas in public – please don’t
Sweats when you aren’t working out/at home – why?

Oh, Eambos, I have to agree with the tight pants thing! What is with skaters wearing pants that look like leggings?

Skaters are notorious for bad fashion. In the 80’s hot pink, dayglo green, zebra stripes shirts, shoes, shorts, helmets, everything neon was the rage. And that haircut where your bangs are long in the front and hang to one side like a young Tony Hawk adorned many a skaters heads a.k.a. the skater cut. Okay in the 90’s (im guilty of this one) super huge pants were what a lot of the skaters wore. Now it has reversed and it all dicktight pants to a lot of skaters. Not me I wear sensible dickies that are my size nowadays. Check out this asshole. He is why these skaters wear the dicktight pants.

I have a neighbor who is built very small. She shops in the children’s section. She is past 40, and tiny thigh-length knits in candy-colored stripes just look, well, amazing, even when they’re not paired with shearling boots.

Sometimes when I’m waiting for a flight at LAX, I make a game of counting how many velour suits I see. I hate those fucking things.

Though the worst sighting was at a cafe in Orange County. Mother and daughter were in matching Juicy Couture velour suits…complete with cheesy Louis Vuitton bags and Starbucks cups. The girl must have been 10 at most and they had the same hair and make-up. I almost hurled my lunch.

Fanny packs. Barf.

Well what is the thing now where young women have huge prominent well-displayed
bellies without being pregnant? Their other body parts are more or less normal? What is that? They wear these big bellies billowing away, forward of their breasts, and they only wear stretchy jersey things over them so you can really see the contours. Is it a fertility deal? What is it? They look like the Venus of Willendorf.

Young men wearing pants 16 sizes too large, with 6 inches of boxer shorts hanging out the top. Recently, I have witnessed several pairs of pants belted tightly below the asses of their wearers! Who in their right mind thinks this is attractive?!?

poison ivy g-string

women with heavy stomachs with tight shirts and/or hip huggers with the stomach hanging out. do they think that’s sexy? it looks ridiculous = like they think they’re something they’re not.

i hate crocs, too. they’re hideous and tacky.

in the 80’s it was leg warmers over tight pants legs. i hope that look does not return.

Oh, when someone is really well dressed, then you look down at their shoes and they are wearing nike RUNNING shoes.
As well as Puma track suits that some men wear. Yeah, no.
Oh and “Timberland” boots.

Mela: Do you see this more often right before work? Or right after work?
A lot of professionals switch to sneakers for their walk home…like in New York.

fanny packs, socks with sandals, white after labour day, those stupid shirts with the wolves and eagles and northern lights on them, camoflague, crocs, wearing the same coloured shirt and pants at the same time, leather blazers…. um whoever wears any of the above please do society a favour and get some class and style, or start handidng out blindfolds to everyone who walks by you. k umthanks

I thought the ‘white after labor day’ rule was dead…no?

@augustlan: Not if you live anywhere near Arlington.

I hate seeing girls dressed up super skanky, including the muffin top and thong revealing. Ugh.

Winter white is very fashionable everywhere. It is a bit warmer than bright summer white, more like ivory but not quite cream. Just wear it in an appropriate fabric and style.

Animal print anything.Girls Too much distracted with hair and putting it behind the ears all the time.Too much obvious make up on the eyes.Make up which is cracking.Wearing pink coloured jeans.

FLIP FLOPS – especially during the winter
