Oh, please God–do not wear a separate navy jacket and navy pants that are NOT a suit–the navies won’t match and you’ll look really, really stupid…
The navy double breasted blazer with khakis slacks has been a “finer” sportswear staple for the past 90 years (I believe it came into vogue in the late 1920s). I’ll admit an ascot with it is a bit over the top, but a plain Oxford shirt (or a pin striped one)–to me that’s nice.
Baggie, down to there jeans, with boxers hanging out. All it ever did was make the followers of this trend look like they were interrupted in the bathroom and forgot to attend to a few details…
Nail art–especially nail art that has little palm trees/beaches or other still life scenes on each nail–could there be a trashier look?
This new trend for fall of BLACK tights with everything. Did you miss ballet practice?
Oh, disagree, on the right girl. It’s sexy hot, in an “I’m wearing my boyfriend the football team captain’s sweatshirt” kind of way. Very collegiate, though, and not to be attempted over 23 years or over 125 pounds.
I’m so relieved that higher waisted jeans are coming back. Not high like they were once upon a time, not even Mom jeans, but something that isn’t muffin top producing. What the hell was that about?
You fashionless clod! Heh, overalls must be a Missouri thing. You should have been wearing a tuxedo. Or perhaps, started out with a morning suit, then changed at lunch. And if you were working by the light of the harvest moon, I suppose a dinner jacket or something would have been called for. You and I and our overalls are responsible for the decline of Western Civilization; if we had any class, we’d be ashamed.
The latest thing around here is to have them not just pulled down enough to show the underpants, but pulled down all the way past their buttocks, so the pants waistband is actually under their cheeks. Which looks exactly like they were interrupted in mid-toilet-squat and somehow omitted to pull the pants back up again before walking off. I frequently wonder how females could find that sort of thing attractive in a potential mate. “Oooh! I wanna have his baby, his big ole butt looks so kewl hanging out like that!”

Two- and three-inch fingernails. I get slightly longer nails than average, with art on them and everything, because a longer fingernail makes your finger look graceful, and a modicum of art is cute, but it’s the Dragon Lady Daggers I don’t get.
The only time it is EVER acceptable for an adult to wear an item of clothing proclaiming loyalty to a sports team is at a game. And even that is a “well, if you must”, as far as I’m concerned.
hehe. I spend most of the spring/summer/fall in sandals or kayak shoes. In fact, I was wearing sandals a few years ago when I saw Amy Rigby in concert. After the show I bought a CD off her and pointed out my feet. (She does a song Men in Sandals).
I was in Vegas a couple of weeks ago and saw several hotsy totsy chicks wearing the ODDEST type of dress. It was a dress with a bubble top that ended kind of at the waist, with a tiny, extremely tight, extremely short skirt peeking out (but it was one piece, hard to explain). I saw this look multiple times in Vegas, usually worn by the young, beautiful and sometimes extremely drunk.
I disagree to the extreme. I would never wear home team clothing to a home team sporting event, just as I never wear a bar-logo shirt to the bar mentioned on the clothing.
Heh…is there a pool on how long it’ll be before they start selling ones that say “I’m only wearing this thing to get laid by politically-active girls”?
Okay, I have to defend skorts. I’m not comfortable wearing a miniskirt with nothing underneath, but I like the look. Since I’m likely to wear shorts underneath one anyhow…
I have to agree with pointed pumps. They’re uncomfortable and don’t look like something that should be worn on human feet. I don’t get crocs either, not as a fashion choice. Sure, they might be comfortable, but they’re gawd-awful ugly.
I really don’t get cowl-necked shirts. Especially the ones with short or no sleeves. My mother likes them, but to me it just looks like the designer didn’t know what a human torso looks like.
Other styles I dislike include:
Teeny eyeglass lenses
Tattoos
Giant pants
Boys wearing T-shirts down to their knees
A general trend of everything looking like it doesn’t quite fit
And worst of all…the cap sleeve. Is it considered unladylike to actually have arms now? I refuse to wear any sleeves that are jammed up in my pits all the time.
I’m not talking about skirts with built in shorts. I’m talking about those things that look like skirts from the front but shorts from the back.
As far as tight pants go, I’m all for them. Not painted on, as was linked to above, but is it too much to ask for jeans that are not the size of a circus tent?
