Fashions you hate

The worst one I can think of:

White eyeliner.

WTF? It boggles the mind how otherwise attractive women would do that to themselves. The look is absolutely loathesome.

…as well as white/silver eyeshadow. I also hate those t-shirts, mainly worn by teeny-boppers, which say things like “Princess”, “Hottie”, and “Angel”.

Oh, my God, where should I start?
Cargo pants.
Baggy pants.
Wearing a longjohn-type thermal undershirt underneath a t-shirt.
Baseball cap with the bill bent so much that it resembles a duck’s bill.
Pierced faces.
Toe rings.
Goth anything.
Tattoos of abstract faux-Oriental designs.
Guys wearing nail polish.
Girls wearing shirts and ties.
Sandals with socks.
Sandals without socks.
Obviously double-entendre team caps/shirts (“Cocks” is the most popular I’ve seen, short for Gamecocks)
Co-ed Naked anything. So damn dumb.
Uh, that’s all I can think of for now.

(Actually, I’ve seen some women with the white eyeshadow/eyeliner who look pretty good with it. No one, however, looks good with any of the above. So there. :slight_smile:

Looking back all I can say is ‘anything from the 1980s’. And I’m thinking specifically of the Flashdance-inspired leg warmers fad. I feel ill just thinking about it…

The “Charlie’s Angels”/Disco Queen sunglasses that seem to be popular again. Gick.

Ahem.

I wear toe rings, and they look fetching, thank you very much. I coordinate them with my toe-nail polish.

Well, it seems that nineiron has a chip on his shoulder.
I agree with Kbean about the “Princess” “Hottie” “Angel” t-shirts. They’re just dumb.

Being a bit of a recluse I usually have no idea what “fashion” trends are supposed to be at any given time.

However, when I do notice a trend I automatically dislike it, even if I like it, on principle!

Ok, actually, I just hate makeup in general, which has been a fad since BC Egyptian days. Except lipstick, and sometimes nail polish.

Shoulderpads.

A big agree on the pierced-face thing. Most of the rest simply draws a reaction I can best sum up as “enh” from me.

I kinda liked the thermal undershirt thing when Kurt Cobain was around. As for sandals, they can be pretty sexy depending on the wearer (and the style). I live in a tropical climate and guys in surfer sandals and boardshorts always get my attention. I’ve never seen anyone under 60 wear socks with sandals, though. I guess I’ve been lucky. :wink:

One that I thing is stupid, but I actually like it because I get a laugh every time I see it is the sun visor worn backwards and upside down.

Wow, big chip there, buddy? Hmm, i guess i should take pictures of me in my cargo shorts with my “faux oriental design” tattoos showing, my nails all gussies up, wearing sandals, and a t-shirt that says “catcher” on it.

Oh, and send them to you also.

Fashion trends I don’t really care for:

Hemp Jewlery - OK!! I get it! Your probably baked! Good for you!

Doc Martins - Comfy, but that stupid yellow thread.

New style basketball shoes that look so DUMB!

You’ll take my Birkenstocks when you pry them off my cold, dead feet! :wink:

(As opposed to my cold, living feet – stupid dad and his stupid air conditioning…)

I second Drastic’s vote for shoulderpads, and add to the list those platform-shoe sneaker things. Oh, and blue mascara.

Geez, why does everyone (OK, 2 people) assume I have a chip on my shoulder? The question asked which fashions I hate, and those are some of them. Does wearing toe rings or sandals make you a bad person? No, of course not. It is just a fashion I hate. Same with all of the others. Sheesh.

I would really enjoy seeing a resurgence of knickers, you know, Benjamin Franklin type pants. I would never wear them but it would be fun to see.

I would also like to see a return of velcro shoes. I have seen them in my size at the local mall but havn’t yet the nerve to buy a pair.

If you have to wear something advertising that you are a hottie or an angel, you pretty much ain’t, babe.

Perhaps the worst fashion statement of them all.

I do this with every visor I see. It never fails to make me laugh, either.

I hate those K Swiss tennis shoes. I’m not sure why. I just do. Maybe because they’re ugly. Also, I hate girls’ flared jeans with slits up to mid-calf or knee. And I want to kick someone every time I see capri pants being worn with socks.

Bell Bottoms were awful in the '70’s. Why they have returned is beyond me.

When I was in Hawaii this guy right off the plane from the 'hood was wearing a visor(like the ones golfers or tennis players use) upside down and to the side. Perhaps it looked cool on the mainland, but he looked positively, absolutely ridiculous.
