Fashion Trends that bug the shit out of you (not NSFW) (bad jeans)

[Brittomart]

Okay, I've got a couple of fashion pet peeves that I'm noticing, and I may even be guilty of committing.


1) Wearing tights under shorts. I tried this one time, and it didn't work out because a) the shorts and the tights were black b) I'm a big girl, I have big thighs. Big thighs equal super duper wedgies. But it's not just the jealousy factor, it's just that you can pull this off if you do it right. The girl in this picture is doing it right, but wearing too big shorts with 5 dollar capri leggings you got on sale just isn't going to cut it. This was a indie trend, and now I see a lot of girls doing it.


2) Tank top tucked into your skirt with the skirt pulled up to under your boobs. I didn't see this style until I came to college. I'm tired of seeing it. Yes, I did this when I went to the club ONE time. Wait, let's talk about that 'cause honey, you couldn't tell me my ass didn't look good in THAT miniskirt, okay? It was one of those "the purpose of this outfit is for boys to look at my ass and tits. Why else?" *snaps*


3) Velcro sandals. I don't know what they're called, but I HATE THEM SO MUCH! They look adorable on babies. Not on grown people.

i occasionally wear those dresses, but i never understood the sandals or shorts-tights thing. neither look attractive.
i personally hate the new flatforms or whatever they are called. they're just ugly, i think.

i am really over slouchie hats. both my sons wear them and i think they are goofy. the thing is, they made fun of dudes wearing oversizes sock caps before but now they are cool ???

[Brittomart]

Kevin, what kind of hats?

[Kevin]

slouchie beanie. oversized knit sock cap. beckham made one popular

[[deleted user]]

oh, those are wierd on guys, i think.
i hate those studded leggings that were shown in fashion week and rihanna promoted. they're really ugly.

[Suefly]

I don't understand pre-ripped jeans. I hate throwing down money on ripped clothing that makes me look either sloppy or homeless. My only other clothing choice would be 'mom jeans'. Bleh.

I'm lazy, so I don't mind Velcro sandals in the summer. I have a pair that are super comfy and casual.

I hate plaid...hated it in the 90's and hate the reemergence of it now. Grunge is dead.

Winter coats with sleeves that only reach the elbow. Of course, you could buy elbow length gloves- but this trend isn’t practical for Canada.

Yeah. Kind of fucked.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

There's always a cadre.

myles, i like your logic. i wish you could explain that leggings shit to half the girls in my school.

[Brittomart]

I can't stand cowboy boots with booty shorts.

[Helena]

There was a trend popular in the Buffalo area (in winter) a year or two ago... very short denim skirts with leg warmers and flip flops. In the snow. Guess I’m old- this just doesn’t make sense to me:

[[deleted user]]

i dont think that makes sense to anyone. in nyc, girls wear tiny skirts with long socks and high tops, which looks horrible.

[Mary]

Shoes with spiky studs all over them. These shoes are all Louboutin (read: $$$$) but other designers are doing this trend as well. They seem dangerous and what if you paid a grand for a pair and after a few wearings some of the spikes fell out? Doesn't seem like something your average cobbler could repair.

[[deleted user]]

thats...ick.

[Jonathan]

Useful if you need to zest a lemon.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I can't stand it when middle aged women, like Meredith Vieira, wear platform hooker shoes.

[Jonathan]

When they wear what?

[Félix]

[[deleted user]]

a combo of hooker heels and babydolls.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Meredith's weren't Mary Janes like that, at least the ones I saw her wearing. But they were that high a platform.

[Brittomart]

Of course Larry has a picture of hooker heels on standby

[Jonathan]

Must be hard to walk in them.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Yes, well fortunately for her, the job mostly involves sitting.

[Félix]

I have one of everything on standby. I'm like the image Watson on Jeopardy.

Actually they look like Larry's feet :-)

I was thinking that too, Britt...

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

There is another thread with a picture of Larry's feet. We need to compare and contrast...

[Mary]

Oooh, I love platform hooker shoes! Only we call the "stripper shoes" at my house. Platforms make high heels much more comfortable to wear and some designers do it very classily, I think.

[Félix]

Good luck finding that one.

And for the record, I would never defile my body with a tattoo.

[Jonathan]

Lobstergirl will find it, if anyone can.

Ahhhh! Uggs! I don't care if you weigh 90 lbs and your legs are literally toothpics, Uggs make whom ever wears them look like they have legs the size of redwoods. They are ugly! I do not get the trend.

i love sky high heels as long as they dont look cheap.

Oh, those are all nice. I like them very much... and I actually kind of like the first pair in message 17. I’d wear them... with pants though... not leather ones.

I hate to wear heels because I never learned to walk in them. I am going to try the platform heel if it makes walking in heels easier. Training heels for stripper shoes. Classic!

[Helena]

Platform heels are much easier to walk in. Well, provided that the platform’s not too crazy.

Now- these don’t make sense to me:

[Félix]

I saw an interview with gaga the other day and she was wearing shoes with about 10 inches of platform on them.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Who thinks hooker shoes are NSFW?

[[deleted user]]

I never pictured you as a gaga fan Larry.

[Suefly]

Depends on the work, I suppose.

Did they match her egg?

It wasn't so much the tights under shorts that had me cringe; it was the HOLES in the tights.

Yes, what is the deal with the open-toed boot? It's cold so I'm going to wear boots yet allow my toes to freeze? No thanks.

I like the nail polish color. And the color of the shoe, but I don't understand the fringe. Rather ugly, IMO.

Larry's feet.

[Félix]

I am really not a gaga fan. At all.
