Fashion Pet Peeves

[Jude]

List three of them and let's bitch about the people who insist on committing these crimes against fashion!

Here are my top three...

1. Carpenter crack. I don't care how thin, young and fit you are and how good you look in those low rise jeans. Carpenter crack is gross!

2. Stockings and sandals. No, not on grandma; not on anyone and those open toed stockings they sell nowadays are just mind boggling to me.

3. Hmmm.. this might be a touchy one but here goes. I don't understand when women don't wear clothes appropriate for their body type. Now, I am not saying that if you have a little chunk on you that you shouldn't be stylish (I have a little chunk on me and think I do okay) but you will never see me running around in belly shirts and tight low rise jeans. When I see girls and ladies running around with their rolls hanging out, it just makes me cringe.

I totally agree with all your peeves Jude! Haha! Here are mine:
1.Uggs. Just...no. They are hideous, bulky, and make your feet look like tree trunks. And expensive and not worth the money!
2. Popped collars. They don't look any cooler now than they did in the 80s!
3. Oversized anything on men. I dont care how thug you are, wearing a XXL shirt when you're a size youth medium isn't attractive, nor stylish.

haha I agree with both of you !
1- I hate leggings with skirts
2- the fishnet tops girls wear with little skanky shirts underneath
3- thongs hanging out.. pretty much anything skanky hah

Okay, I gotta defend my Uggs but not as a "fashion statement" because I've been wearing mine for decades. I HATE closed-toed shoes (or any shoes for that matter) but when it gets cold, these are the only things that I can stand. They keep me warm and comfy and I still feel like my feet can breathe!

Pet Peeves:
1. Super-oversized anything as well...It doesn't look good on anyone.
2. Under-sized anything on anyone. I don't care if you're a size 2. Squeezing into a size 00 and CREATING rolls does not look cute!
3. Horrible knockoffs. I mean REALLY bad ones. I just listed this on another page: don't buy ten knockoffs to look like someone else. But one quality piece you love.

I don't like when girls walk around trying to show their shit off. Boobs all hanging out and thongs all showing. It looks trashy.

I also think super skinny girls are just gross. That's not so much fashion, but they don't look good in clothes. I wish more girls had meat and not just bones.

I don't like guys wearing pink tees or even those long ass white tees. Jeans that are a little big are ok, but falling to your knees is pushing it.

And my least favorite has to be girls who insist that their PJs are appropriate to wear when going out in public. Pajama pants are for sleeping not shopping and going out to eat.

Oh yes and those chinese looking slip ons. They are so cheap and ugly looking.

Okay, last one. Girls who swear they look good when they are ugly as hell and have shirts on that say "cutie", "sexy" or "foxie." What they really need is a mirror. (Those pants too that have writing on the ass. I always see flat assed girls having those. No one would look at them otherwise. "bootylicious" written on their ass when it should say "boneylicious")

hahaha! good points!

-I dont like it when girls or guys wear jerseys.
-When people wear baggy baggy clothes especially ghetto guys who wear jeans that go down to their butt and T-shirts down to their knees.
-when big overwieght women wear bright colors. It just makes them stand out more like an apple or orange.
-faded jeans like every thing is dark except the front and butt part that is like white ew

i dont think it's right to say super skiny girls are gross. some girls, no matter how much they eat, can't gain weight and i think its unfair for people to assume that they are doing it on purpose and that they are gross because of that. it's just the same as calling an overweight person gross. neither one of those things are fair.

not trying to be mean, but i'm tired of people criticizing skinny people. (yes i am thin.. but i also eat all my meals w/o throwing up.. call it high metabolism if you will)

I don't care. I used to be really skinny before, but I could never be that way again. I used to eat all day long without gaining weight, but I have gained 20 pounds recently and feel as if I look even better then before. It's just not appealing to me when I see some girl who is really skinny. I rather see someone over weight. It wasn't meant to offend anyone and if it did then I don't know. I guess just don't take things personally.

I agree with jude on the first one although i must admit that i used to be guilty of it a couple of years back... but it's cuz i never noticed, i swear!!! but now... i just think it's gross...

I dont know if this goes along with that but I hate when girls show their thong!!! Why oh why do I have to see ur underwear. I thought the point of thongs was to show no panty line... whats the point of that if ur gonna show ur damn panty anyways!!!

i agree with jude on her third point but im gonna change it a little to say why must people wear clothes that is clearly too small for them... if ur a size 10 dont u think u'll look better in a pair of size 10 pants instead of squeezing into size 8s just to say ur a size 8 but then ur gut is hanging out all over the place???

 

[moonrevel]

I'm not exactly a fashion plate, so I won't comment on some of the fashion trends I don't really understand, but I will definitely agree on the panties/thongs hanging out of the pants thing. They are called UNDERwear for a reason!

 

[Isis]

My 3 biggest gripes???
1. Fake bags: LV, Coach, Chanel, Prada, etc are all forever ruined for me b/c there are so many damn fakes out there!! Not to mention the thought of the sweatshops they're made in is depressing.
2. Bad shoes: I just can't say enough about that...
3. Poorly fitted clothes: Everyone would look 100% much better if they would just wear the right size or go to a tailor.

 

[scrapbookromance]

panty lines, either as a result of poorly fitting undies or poorly fitting jeans. it can make someone with a nice body otherwise look chunky. doesn't mean one can have thier thong hanging out either. ah, and wearing low rise jeans with undies that aren't cut as low so when you sit down they're hanging out the back. if you can wear lowrise jeans without having a muffin top, make sure your underwear doesn't show either!

"messy buns" are MESSY, so whats nice about them?

oversized/undersized clothes

plaid and argyle together. or any similar pattern that doesn't match exactly. similar but not matching stripes, polka dots, etc.

white socks with black dress shoes

clip on ties

fishnet stockings

"mom jeans" said my boyfriend

suspenders

overuse of sequins


haha okay enough listing

 

[Starbright211]

When boys wear shorts that are so long that they look like crop pants... Not Cute!!!

I am not really feeling the whole thong-tha-thong thing either. It's so hooker!!!

Count me in for one of those people who cannot stand the whole low rise pants with the roll over the top and then a little tight shirt. I have seen enough bloated bellies to last a life time... Shit is not cute!!! Low rise pants are just not a good idea for most people.

Ugh, and I can't stand the whole chick in a wife beater with no bra... They can keep the niblets to themselves!!!

 

[Gabrielle]

Carpenter crack is definitely one of my pet peeves. That one is pretty much self explanitory.

Guys who wear girl's pants.

Girls who wear clothes that just do not fit properly. Expecially jeans. When your jeans are cutting off circulation, you need a bigger pair.

Those stretchy sequin belts that have 24738947347538753 sequins on them that girls wear around their waist line over a top. Not even around their pants, around their SHIRTS. I just don't think it looks good.

Guys who wear skin-tight t-shirts.

Heh... these rants all coming from a girl who wears black tops and dark jeans or black pants everyday... -_-

When girls wear shirts or other pieces of clothing that say "Sexy" or "Hottie" when they are definately not.

OH MY GOSH You just came up with the best description of the ill-fitting-jeans-syndrome (IFJS) EVER! haha Yeap, I am way impressed. haha

Muffin top! I gotta tell my sister. She'll love it

I'm not exactly a fashionista, but I can tell what is ugly, and baby, micro mini skirts with Uggs on a cold day, UGLEEE.

Boobs hanging out. . .It makes me stare. . .In horror. . .And then I look gay. . .Not good. :T

The thong thing, yeap, pretty awful.

Is it a fashion crime to smell bad? Not just "I haven't showered for days ha ha sucks for you" bad but "I wear so much perfume when I walk by you can smell me for miles". Maybe it's more like a crime of good sense.

Oh yeah, there's this one chick in my class that wears her hair like she got electrocuted. . .Why? Why? Do you really think it looks good? Maybe she thinks it does. ..Maybe she doesn't check a mirror. ..Who knows

I think it's kinda gross when people wear heels and their toes hang over the front. ..Especially when the shoes are supposed to be sexy and have to straps. Yeap, I've seen some that the toes come out so far they touch the ground in front. Why bother wearing shoes then?

There are many more but I'll stop.

(For now) haha

oooh i know! I commit this crime often! I luv wearing shorts (not short shorts ie underwear) but soccer shorts. I wear them all seasons and it ticks people off when I wear them in Winter b/c they feel cold looking at me. It's not b/c I have great legs, it's b/c I like 'em and they're comfy! They are to me what jeans are to 90% of the population.

I'd wear them everyday if I could. (And sometimes I do.

)

 

[lovejam]

I don't like seeing girls wearing low-rise jeans that are too small for them. Even if the girl is skinny, her belly like spills over the waist of her pants, and it just looks bad.

Also, I don't like sweatsuits. Oh, it's fine to wear the pieces of the suit separately (for instance, wearing the jacket with jeans, or wearing the pants with just a shirt), but to wear the entire sweatsuit at once... I just think it looks tacky, or as my husband says, "chavvy." XD

Sorry if either of those were offensive.

Pink shirts on guys ppl! *runs away and hides*
