What Trend Do You Wish Would Go Away

I don't know why anyone would own such terrible things. Okay also the HUGEMONGO t-shirts and sweaters which is some kind of hop-hop, urban thing. It looks like if a strong enough wind blew, these guys would take flight. It's more like a sail than a clothing item. It's just beyond me. It's all fun and games until your t-shirt gets caught on an escalator or something. I'm not sure if it was covered anywhere in this topic but another "fashion" problem that bothers me is a little thing I have dubbed "The Pajamaization Of the Nation" it's a problem folks, especially anywhere near college campuses. You are supposed to sleep in your pajama's, not go outside in them. Yes, I understand you're just running to the store real quick, or to blockbusters or you're going to sit in a dark movie theater, well that's nice but put on some damn clothing people, not pajamas! My roomate from S. Korea was beyond perplexed by this fashion statement. She kept syaing " So it's style?" and I kept saying "No, they're just too lazy to get dressed!" The best was when she would tell me how she would see girls with their hair and makeup done yet still wearing pajama pants on her college campus. I'll sum up her thoughts on the subject, "So weird!"

This totally cracks me up Bernadette...and PS, I bet you'll be "thrilled" to know that CROCS now come in a (get this) wedge sandal AND a ballet flat (for those who want to make sure they're fashionable while gardening??)! I kid you not!

People who spend loads of money to look like a homeless hobo. (The Olsen twins)

I hate it when people wear t-shirts under spaghetti strap dresses.

All right I don't know if anyone mentioned this, rediculously cheesy, cheap looking bug eyed fake designer glasses for 1.
Flats and assorted "skimmer" styled shoes. Some look classy others just look lame to me.
Skinny jeans on unflattering body types. Just face it this style only looks good on the people that have the body for it.
I don't wear them because I know I will look rediculous.

I hate the bug-eyed sunglasses look too. I understand big sunglasses but you should really keep them in proportion to your face.

i especially hate the ones that look like my great aunt could have worn them in the 70s...you know the ones im talking about

In makeup:
Nude lips, nude lips, nude lips, and nude lips.
I'll admit to being prejudiced on this point, because when I try to wear nude lips, I look like I need a blood transfusion now!
I could live without black nail polish, too.

Fashion:
Jeans that ride very low; in some cases soo low that you can catch an occasional glimpse of "reverse cleavage." :eek2:
Jeans worn under dresses. This always reminds me of elementary school, when we girls would wear shorts under our dresses, lest some boy catch a glimpse of our underpants when we were doing our excercises in P.E.
Tattoos over every visible micrometer of skin.

 

[spectrolite]

Mostly the whole 70's/80's "retro" thing. Personally, I'm ready for the future. Bring on the avant garde fashions please! I don't mean body suits either lol... But ffs it's 2007. Let us move forward!

Also, skinny jeans on men. Ewww.

Trends and/or Styles that need to die:

Crocs: unless you're a lifeguard and/or you work at a water amusement park etc. These shoes are practical at these places.

Sandles with socks: OMG horrific!! I live in Colorado so I see alot of men wearing socks with their Tevas....blech!

fannypacks: I STILL see people carrying these around not flattering at all!

Uggs with miniskirt: it's friggin cold here in CO or it's warm so the Uggs are nice but the miniskirt...nope

Mullets: great to laugh at but seriously people...

Unflattering hair color: too frosty blonde, brown hair that looks like wood, red hair that looks clownish...consult a stylist...please!!

VPL of any sort!

Track suits with bulky sneakers (like K-swiss): I will see a lady with this outfit on and her makeup all done, hair all done, and a full set of nails. You KNOW she's not going to go work out!!

I think it's cool that people dress like the music that they're listening to. However, I don't even think alot of kids know bands like The Ramones, Led Zepplin, etc etc. Please for the love of God only wear a band shirt if you know the bands music!! So annoying for people like me who grew up listening to Guns and Roses, you're wearing the shirt yet you don't know who Axl Rose is!
Sorry about the rant...

OMG! You took the words right out of my mouth!

Don't forget the sweatbands around the foreheads, the incessant middle finger in pictures, the "wifebeater" t-shirts, and fake huge jewelery. Those are necessities.

Get Off Our Island!

Perfect examples.

I saw them being sold on a trendy website for clothes; I don't remember which one. I hope they're not making a comeback.

hun, you know whats sad...in one picture on the "get off our island website", its a few guy at a club; the picture looks a tint of blue but its just the club's dark lighting.....yea i know those guys lol.

I live on Eastern LI..right by the Hamptons tooo.
(...so i wont lie...60% of my guys friends do look like them..shhh! lol. but they are the smart fake guidos...not the "duh" kind)

OMGGG THE SWEATSBANDDDDDSSS....LIKE SERIOUSLY, i just wanna snap them on their foreheads over...and over...and overrr.

 

[Dizzy]

That's hysterical that you know someone on there. I went to school out on LI for a semester so I found that site sooo funny because it's so true.

It's in Westchester too, though. I can't tell you how many times I see blowouts like that and think "damn, if he falls someone's getting an eye poked out"

I am ready to see those sparkly/sequin purses go away... You know, the ones with the shimmering discs all over that were cute last summer...

 

[c00ki312]

velour tracksuits with ugg boots! ugly ugly ugly and just plain lazy!

 

[c00ki312]

oh i also hate when groups of girls wear identical outfits or maybe co-ordinating outfits where one will wear a pink skirt, one wear a pink jean and the other wears a pink shirt. it makes me sick.

ohh and one time at work a group of girls walked in and one girl was wearin pink converse and the other black so they switched one shoe so each wore one black and one pink...bleurgh!

 

[jerseygirl005]

the whole wannabe italian "look" on guys and girls!

fake tan, overdone makeup, skimpy outfits, pouty lips, over-gelled hair, i could go on.

jeez. you're making us true italians look bad!
