ENTER! Misc Av Contest: Fashion from Hell

[auntiehill]

So, what's your fashion pet-peeve, the fashion disaster that makes you roll your eyes--or at least makes you chuckle?

This includes any clothing, hairstyle, make-up, shoes, outfit, etc., worn by everyday people, anything that was a trend, a fashion statement, or department store style that needed to go as fast as it arrived.

Standard Av rules apply. Poll will go up on Friday.

To get things started, here's mine. I can't see any reason on Earth why grown adults would wear ugly plastic clogs, on purpose, that offer no arch support .

^ You think those are bad?

It took me a while to mullet over, but:

The heroin chic look. Fortunately it didn’t last long.

All the class, glamour and sex appeal of real heroin addiction — without the drug!

 

[RJDiogenes]

This Thread's title should carry an NSFH warning-- Not Safe For Holdfast.

 

[Niorah]

Voilà:

 

[An Officer]

Sexy.

My sister once had that haircut.

I borrow my brother's to take out the garbage.

A trip to the dumpster isn't worth puttin' on real shoes.

- edit, to add -

My entry -

There is something truly wrong with society when a youth fashion trend begins in the prison system.

 

[auntiehill]

Yeah, that is the most STUPID thing around. But at least it makes it harder for the idiots to run away from the cops.


eta: I wonder how long it will take Holdfast to find this thread?

 

[scotpens]

Sexy.

I do hope that was meant ironically.

Really, what's with the thong underwear showing? To me, it says one of two things: either "I dressed in the dark this morning," or "I'm a slut and a slob."

 

[auntiehill]

^ I'm going to go with the second option.

 

[auntiehill]

Still plenty of time for more entries!

 

[RJDiogenes]

I'm thinking....

 

[auntiehill]

^I was wondering what that grinding noise was.

*runs*

I think those shoes just gave me a stroke.

This probably does not follow the rules of the contest but I had to post it anyway:

Backwards leotards? Seriously?

 

[auntiehill]

It doesn't. Meh. There have been far more hideous fashions on TNG than that.

Mock my Steampunk brain, will you? You'll be sorry when I rule the world.

True, but what bothers me about the leotards is that they took an actual piece of 20th century clothing and just wore it backwards, presumably so that it would look "futuristic". It just strikes me as boneheaded.
