Fashion Trends/Faux Pas'... What do you dislike?

Perhaps some of those people wearing socks with their sandals have thin/sensitive skin on their feet and need the cushioning effect of the socks. The last few years I've found this necessary, despite the sandals having soft adjustable straps to restrict my feet from sliding around in them.

Now get off my lawn! ;-D

I am allergic to the rubber they use for insoles. Because of that I have to wear socks or my feet break out in gooey hives the size of quarters. I had a pair of sandals a couple of years ago and had to wear socks with them so I didn't get a flare up. But since everyone felt it necessary to be douches about the freakin socks, I stopped wearing the sandals. Now I just deal with having hot sweaty feet so I don't end up popping someone in the mouth over it. And for the record, I don't wear shorts and only wore the sandals with jeans. They did NOT look bad or I wouldn't have had them on. But leave it to people to crucify you for trying to be comfortable within the boundaries you are given. (These are the same people that probably would have given me hell for coloring my hair blue back in the early 90's. )

1. Baggy pants on well, everyone... but especially men. I don't need to see your boxers or whatever, guys, especially on a hot day and you've been sweating. *barf*

2. The trend of sticking/getting a tattoo in the sternum area on women. YUCK!

Hip-hugging, barely-above-the-promised-land jeans on women. Very, very people few look good in them. The rest of the time, you see rolls of fat hanging out on all sides, even on people who would otherwise look fit. So. NOT. Attractive.

For the men, the baggy, boxer-showing, clown-size pants on young men. It makes them all look short and fat, and they have to go around holding up their pants all day. I mean, how can you take someone seriously when their ass is entirely outside of their jeans?
On the plus side, it does make it laughably difficult for them to run from the police.

I also don't care for the "fashion" of tattoos. Too many young people get them, not realizing that they are NOT easily removed. Hair will grow back after a cut, make-up and hair are easily changed but tattoos are permanent. If a responsible, level-headed adult wants one, fine, but too many young idiots get one because it's "cool," only to realize later that they regret it. Anyone so easily swayed by fashion trends should not to anything permanent to their body.

I have to agree the the hipster jeans are stupid
My daughter hates them because they are not high enough for a while it was hard to find the jeans that go more up the waight
But now they are bringing them in which is great and they are a better fit also you would get short tops and jumpers which is hard wearing those with hipsters during winter..

I throw on my Uggs when it's 30 below and there's a ton of ice/snow on the ground and the dogs need to go outside NOW. The rest of the time they stay in my closet where they belong.

You keep your dogs in the closet? Doesn't it piss them off?

The way they love shoes that's the LAST place I'd put them!

Yes l hate that too.
The way boys and some older guys will wear there jeans to the exstent that you can see thier arse.
It is a horrble sight plus you wonder how it feels to wear something dangling so low
You would think it would intervere with the way a person walks.

I don't hate any fashion. I love it all. Even the horrible, hideous, ridiculous -- the most conformist, the most trendy, the most outrageous and unique. Even the stupidest, most impractical, jeans-sagging-so-low-he-has-to-hold-them-up, heels-so-high-she-slouches-when-she-walks fashion. People take it so seriously, and get so offended, and are so judgemental. Some judge others for putting no effort into their appearance, others for putting too much. I find it all hysterical.

Yes, I suppose it's really nothing to get all worked up about. I mean, what does it all come down to in the end? Schmattas!

. . . I don't get this, at what point in a man's life does he put on a button-up short-sleeve dress shirt with a colored criss-cross pattern on it, some sansabelt slack-shorts pulled up to just under his chesticles, ghost-white legs, black socks, and then tan slip-on loafter shoes; goes to look in the mirror and says“Yep! I look good! Time to go out and do my day!”

When senile dementia starts to set in?

EDIT: Excuse me, I see MeanJoePhaser already expounded that theory.

Oh, but it's wonderful that people get all worked up over it!

Pocket dogs...


This is a fashion trend that MUST END!

 

[trekkiedane]

Socks with sandals is really the only thing I find objectionable.

 

[Shazam!]

Asymmetrical haircuts
Huge sunglasses
Visable underwear above the belt line
Skinny-fit jeans
That thing girls do when they wear a baggy t-shirt and then put a massive belt on over it
Popped collars
Topless dudes walking around town in summer
Pink
Those stupid neckercheif things that make you look like a terrorist
Tattoos
Facial piercings
Dreadlocks

There are all sorts of women's underwear designed to be worn under tight or sheer clothing. There's simply no excuse for walking around with a VPL.

Oh sure, there are options, but it's not like they're all that comfortable! And yes, then you have people say "then don't wear tight clothes" but that's pretty much the way it goes for women. Everything's fitted to the point that it doesn't matter if you have pockets in your jeans, because you wouldn't be able to get anything into them! And if you don't dress like that, people start using terms like "mom jeans" and make fun of the looser shirts that women sometimes like to wear.

You've hit on one of my pet (pun!) peeves. People who treat toy dogs as fashion accessories instead of dogs are just as irresponsible as the pit bull owner who trains the dog to be aggressive, imo.

Fauxhawks
Coats with shoulder straps
Pre-ripped jeans
Wearing a scarf like this:

Those stupid hats with the bit at the back that make you look like a Smurf:

non-prescription glasses

 

[JRS]

I have never liked hoodies

No, they are NOT cool..nor they provide good protection from the rain..and make people often look like crooks
Plus they make people look more fatter than they are( in some cases anyway..) and seem to make even boobs disappear

 

[Kestra]

I love hoodies! They're so warm and comfortable and snuggly. And anything that makes my boobs disappear is a plus.

 

[bluedana]

Leggings, which are just tights worn as pants. It doesn't matter how skinny you are, or think you are, it's unattractive.

 

[MeanJoePhaser]

Hoodies. I resisted those for years, but moving to a colder climate.

I hate myself for wearing them, especially at work. That's when you know your job's too casual.
