Ok fashion police. what do you still see people wearing today that is definitely not in style?

ok, the horny question above is a great thread. do “members only” jackets maketh thou hornieth?

The fashion police would no doubt haul me off. I have gotten so wardrobe lazy since I work at home.

@Marina not the dreaded duster? yes?

i hardly think anything can be bluntly outdated anymore. it seems as if everything is coming back in at least some way. perhaps it just depends on the person and if they’re pulling it off right. then again, though i have my own opinions on what looks good or not, i’m part of the camp that’s like “meh, where whatever you want!”.

Zubaz will never come back (i hope)

@tiffyandthewall i think styles of the latest decade—say the 90s—can be easily picked out as “dated.” seems like what was worn back in the 60s or 70s has resurged, you know?

like if i go thru my closet and find something i wore from back in the 90s, i’d probably give it away to goodwill, but i bet 10 or 20 years from now it would resurface. fashion always comes back around. who knew that the punk mohawk of the 80s would come back in a more milder fashion?

hmmmmmmmm, uh, forgetteth thine aforementioned horny question. it is of the past. thanks, mods.

overly baggy clothes. get a belt, dumbass.

Pants under short skirts. whyyyyyy

You know, there aren’t that many things that simply couldn’t be worn at this point in time, if paired with the right things. Stirrup pants are one. Also, similar to @Sarcasm‘s suggestion (which I agree with wholeheartedly!), and just so bad that they must also be mentioned, are skorts. Fine for babies and little kids, but once you’re not liable to flash people doing flips on the playground, skorts have to go.

@charliecompany34 – Parachute pants are coming back for autumn. They’re too legit to quit!

It’s the end of fashion as far as I’m concerned. People can honestly wear whatever they want now.

I have to win the prize for outdated—a consignment shop wouldn’t take my loveliest things—they said they were too old!

Harem pants—they should be illegal.

Socks with sandals!!

Mullets and cargo pants!

@La_chica_gomela I like that look. ...On girls of course.

@charliecompany34 Duster? How old do you think I am? This is not the fifties.

No, my uniform (since learning that working at home in the altogether was not a good plan) is one of my immumerable tshirts and shorts. In winter, I go with sweatpants instead (or I will—in Florida it was shorts year round).

Maybe we have the money, and we know what’s in fashion, but we simply don’t care.

I take great pains to buy clothes in classic styles, so that I don’t have to update my wardrobe every 2 years.

Who gives a fuck?!

Guys wearing short-shorts, skinny girls wearing XL clothing

People with printed wolf t-shirts. Wait, those were never in style

Amazon disagrees.
Amazon Sales Rank: #4 in Apparel

@Sarcasm Amazon also suggested I buy Anne of Green Gables. Amazon FAIL.

I notice that bell bottom jeans were back in stores last year, and this year it’s maxi dresses that are everywhere.

The major fashion faux pas is still those 80’s padded shoulder dresses and jackets.

Of course, I still wear Birkenstocks. I started in 1969 and have never quit.

@eponymoushipster Whatever that is, it holds no ground compared to the wolf shirts. Number 1347 in movies and tv compared to Number 4 in apparel, I mean reaallyyy.

@Sarcasm the point is that Amazon doesn’t know what the hell it’s talking about.

Surely crocs have got to be out of style by now?!?!?

What should be out of style is wearing a shirt with a short little crop sweater or shirt on top of it (if you are under 18 and thin maybe I will look the other way). And I am waiting for 4 and 5 inch heals to go bye bye. Another one—desperately waiting for dresses to have the waist back down at the waist. But then, you want to know what is out of style, I am annoyed with what is in style.

That reminds me. I’d like to see loud shoes go out of style. I’m sick of standing around in buildings and hearing women power-walking around on the opposite side of it.
.....Click-clack click-clack click-clack…..

@sarcasm. Due to the fact that it is now popular, I will have to purchase that awesome t-shirt with three wolves howling at the moon. I think I may even wear it to my wedding.

—I hate to be the bearer of bad news but wolf shirts are actually in style within the indie/scene people. Have you noticed the big framed glasses everyone seems to be wearing now? The ones that look like nerd glasses? That trend was started years ago and is becoming main stream. Just like this whole “punk” look you can now get in every store at the mall. Remember the whole trucker hat phase? Please, you think Von Dutch started that? And big belt buckles? All these things were cool before everyone else started wearing them. Now everyone drinks PBR and wears skull shirts. Ugh.
And don’t even get me started on that Ed Hardy bullshit.

I’m not going to lie, it’s a little sad watching indie kids that were born in the 90’s dress like they’re from the 80’s. Ah, but everyone has to go down the bad fashion route at some point. They’ll have plenty to regret fashion-wise later on in life when they’re showing a montage at their wedding and then have to explain why they looked like such huge dorks.

Luckily, by not following trends over the years the only regret I can say I have is having a completely fluorescent wardrobe when I was 9.

As far as Ed Hardy shirts go, don’t you know D-Bags need to have a strict outline of what they should wear to a club? After all, their moms aren’t helping them get dressed anymore.

Because they like what they are wearing.

I wear what I like. Sorry if you don’t. ;-)

The one that really bothers me is baby-doll tees. I realize that most of the population agrees with me, but unless you’ve just recovered from some wasting disease (or you’re 3), they make you look just a wee bit pregnant. This is not a good thing.

I do hate how childrens clothing, espically little girls clothing has become so sexualized.

@ChazMaz Hear hear! Young girls should not be wearing ANYTHING with the Playboy logo on it. That’s just creepy.

I hope that french tips on toenails goes out way fast. That’s just gross.

“I hope that french tips on toenails goes out way fast. That’s just gross.” Or retarted. ;-)

I concur.

The spade toe boot, especially if worn with flared jeans. It made you look like a tool even when it was IN, (the longest 5 months of my life) and you still think you look cool. Maxim magazine is NOT a good source for fashion advice! Cut it the fuck out!!

Enormous professional ballplayers wearing relaxed cut suits in colors and patterns that make them look even bigger, WTF!!!!!!

You! Salaryman!! Every one of your suits is at least one size too large. It makes you look like your 80 hour work week isnt even close to worth it. Fix it NOW!!

@elijah, great answer!

Women wrecking a decent look by walking home in trainers. What makes you think that just because Oprah does it it’s a good idea? Can you imagine Jackie O having so little self respect??

All the lame Ed Hardy crap:

When ‘edgy’ hipness crosses all race, gender, age and socioeconomic lines it becomes meaningless.

Hearing people say ‘I just want to be comfortable’ as an excuse to dress like shit makes me want to punch someone.

Looking like crap has never been in style (grunge movement is an exception, ugh, dark grim days those) then again, somethings being in style doesnt make it right.

@Noel_S_Leitmotiv ; do you realize that if you think of something else to post so soon after your last post you can click the edit button and post it in the same answer? This isn’t like a chat page.

Yes and thanks, ive noticed comments arent dated here so one cant see that ive made these submissions over time.

But thanks again, someone does need to stop me : )

Though posting each concept as a seperate item does benefit those with short attention span issues..

@Noel_S_Leitmotiv: I dress for comfort rather than style, and if you punch me, I punch back harder. Get over yourself: your obsession with fashion is not universal.

I dress for comfort so those who dress for fashion will look better by contrast. I consider it my duty to society.

My sadness comes from the fact that so many seem to assume that fashion and comfort are mutually exclusive.

I enjoy the advantages and pleasures of dressing with style but i wouldnt tolerate a significant compromise of comfort for it.

In fact i find dressing with proper fit to be more comfortable. I dont have to labor to wear an ill fitting garment well, i can relax and let the outfit do the work.

Obsession.. Heh, youre right, i must consume because im a deeply insecure superficial egomaniac and marketing tells me that if i spend enough ill be somebody and be happy..

@Darwin: LOL, GA

@Noel_S_Leitmotiv – Trust me, if you had my feet and body type, you would quickly realize that fashion does not offer comfort, unless you want to pay thousands of dollars for custom made everything.

Most high-heeled shoes do not feel good after a few hours’ wear, sad to say. When I worked a corporate gig, I would change out my heels into matching flats instead of trainers and socks. Putting on the socks and trainers was too much work. I’m a “slip on, slip off,” sort of gal when it comes to shoes.

My Blundstone clogs are probably my favorite shoes.

@Darwin I feel your pain, i posted this under another question, i hope its not Fluther taboo to repost here:

Actually ive read over the comments again and see that so many are having the same problem.

I cant stress enough the importance of alterations.

Ladies: get tops that fit nicely in your biggest part: boobs, belly, arms, have the rest of the garment cut down.

Ladies, men: get pants that fit in the ass first and hopefully in the waist as well (the waist can be taken in quite easily) the length and taper of the leg can be adjusted.

Guys: buy that shirt or jacket that fits in the neck and shoulders, sleeve length and width can be adjusted as can be body size.

Tailoring will make you look fantastic and just isnt that expensive. It frees up your clothing choices.

A less expensive item that is cut to fit you will look a million times better than an expensive item with a sloppy fit.

Proper fit makes far more of an impression than rich materials, wild patterns, even labels.

Id rather wear a flawlessly tailored suit made of burlap that one of the finest materials right off the rack.

I’d urge you to take that one item that you really love and spend to have it made to fit perfectly, notice how easily it wears now, you can relax and let the garment do the work. Youll love it more than ever. Youll never be the same. I mean, its been made to fit only you.

Your friends and coworkers wont notice why but men, youll look fitter, women, youll look shaplier, youll all look edgier, smarter, more dynamic.

Youll feel more confident when you no longer have to labor to wear an ill fitting item well.

Spend less on items and put some of that savings toward alterations, it won’t cost you any more and it’ll make all the difference.

Spend less? Tee hee! I shop only clearance sales, Goodwill, or places like Marshall’s already. How can I spend less? I am not going to WalMart. Their stuff is cheesy.

ultra lowrise pants with muffin tops. They made my eyes bleed, thank god they’re finally out. Hoping to see lots fewer in the near future.

In the same vein, thongs sticking out of the back of lowrise pants.

I know it’s technically incorrect but i love the Muffintop.

Seeing a woman working her bare thick middle makes me hot. Nothing makes a woman sexxier than her confidence and if this is what it takes to get the big girls in the game then i’m all for it.

Skinny girls are just pissed cause their old advantage has finally been negated.

And finally men are realizing they’re not any less of a man if they’re attracted to thickness.

I adore the skinny jean but hate when hipsters wear them with such a relaxed inseam.

You! with the skateboard!! you look like you have a loaded diaper under that!!!

Men wearing thin angled beards to simulate a jawline. Youre fooling no one. Your treadmill is waiting.

Do something about the gelmet, please.

I wear what I feel like, I don’t wear things to please you or anyone else.

I think that the fashion police should be banned. I like Hawaiian shirts and think they are appropriate for any occasion. They the spirits of people at work. add color to the drab winters we have around here, and are appropriate for all occasions.

That’s my fashion advice. I forgot to add, that I am mostly color blind and can only see really bright colors. Everything else is just shades of gray…boring and depressing.
