I am pitting people who wear those leather cowboy style hats (the ones with the wide flat rim that goes all the way round). I wish I had the lack of self-awareness to wear them! Those things must be brilliant for keeping the rain off my face. I hate rain.
Zoggie–I only WISH at times I were small enough to pull it off. I just think running around in a camisole top looks like you only HALF forgot to get dressed that morning. IMO, cami tops belong in the bedroom, at home. But again…JMO.YVMV.
JulKatBo–I saw a woman with one of these the other day only it was kinda gray-black and looked like she’d skinned an Irish Wolfhound for her jacket.
Lobsang–in that case…next time 'round ask to be born a Texan. We wear them all the time and I think they look great on just about everybody.

JuanitaTech - You’re probably right, but it still creeped my friend and me out.
DarthNader - Now those are funny baby shirts! I liked “Are You My Daddy?” I don’t think I’ll get one for my neice, though.
I thought of another fashion citation: wearing knee-hi panty hose with skirts, dresses or capris that are short enought that you can see the tops of the knee-his. I’m all for comfort, but if the knee-his are visible, then why wear them? Either knock youself out and go for the full panty hose or don’t wear anything. I always opt for the no hose, personally. (Although I understand this may be a fashion offense according to some. So be it.)
I looked at the don’ts–specifically the guy in the black, old fashioned short tennis shorts. I’ve said before that I think shorter shorts on men ought to be more socially acceptable; it’s not like they’re so short he’s in danger of exposing himself or has his butt hanging out.
But the jacket does look really dumb. I mean if it’s so hot you need to wear shorts, why are you wearing the jacket?
Another general fashion crime I’ve not seen mentioned here is people who work out in street clothes. The idea of working out at a gym in, say jeans and a t-shirt, and then continuing to wear those clothes, possibly not showering, this is among the things that make me cringe.
Oh yeah, and I agree on the shaved legs…maybe unless he’s a competitive swimmer.
I agree. It’s sort of poor taste on its own merits, but it doesn’t suggest incest to me either.
I, unforturantly, have a hubby that thinks a mullet is the latest in fashion! He came home last month from the barber with a mullet. I had to beg him for a week to go and get it recut - Thank Goodness, he finally did.
The other day I saw a guy on a motorcycle from behind he looked fine. Long hair to his waist - but when we got next to him I realized it was a super mullet!!! He literally had a marine cut in the front and the super long hair in the back! Oh God! The horror’s!
:eek:
I can see situations where it is important to pay particular attention to what you wear (job interview, wedding, etc.) but for the most part I don’t really care what I or anyone else wears. I dress to please myself not some stranger I may pass in the mall, and I am sure others feel the same way.
FTR I had a mullet in high school, but I got better
I don’t wear pantyhose at all, if I can avoid the stuff.
I usually dress to please myself, too, Grit, but I also usually wear stuff th at wouldn’t get me picked up by the fashion police either.

I thought guys liked the flash of knee that results from knee-his with a skirt. Not that I wear that, just saying.
It used to be that way, Rilch–until chicks started wearing outfits that barely cover their bodies.
Now it’s just passe’.

The Croatian entry in the Eurovision contest.
I’m speechless.
ruadh: You mean the woman with the one-shouldered orange mini? I see nothing wrong with that! I’d wear it myself, if my thighs would permit. Her song rocked, too.
Rilchiam, remind me never to let you go shopping for me - for clothes OR music !! 
What about thigh highs? Are thigh highs okay?
Of course, if I put them on, my mother tells me I’m gonna get blood clots. Whatever.
My dad wears shorts with jackets, but only when he goes jogging. Usually over jogging pants and that. He’s not trying to be stylish.
Okay, I saw a guy with a mullet in Kmart a few times. This was his outfit:
-Zebra print zubas
-Black ribbed tank top or teeshirt
-Pull over puffy Pittsburgh Penguins jacket
-High top sneakers
-Gold chains with Steelers and Penguins logo charms.
-Razor Bans
-And the crowning glory?
The mullet to end all mullets! Spiked on top, with little itty bitty baby bangs and long and fluffy in the back-like a month old spiral perm.
People who are stuck in the 80s: big puffed spiked bangs, pegged jeans with spandex tops, and push down socks and high tops. Blech.
Add me to the list of people who are disgusted by hipster jeans on overweight women!
I prefer people who dress for their body shape rather than fashion. People can still look stylish in classic outfits if they suit their body. A friend of mine always looks elegant and tastful in a linen suit with nice jewellery, which is not ‘fashionable’, but still she looks great.
What about bike pants on large women? Worse if they are white or grey!!!
And hair… bleached blond, scraggly ends and re-growth…Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
Get thyself to a hairdresser!!!
Three words: Anna Nicole Smith
LOL
She disgusts me to the point of hurling whenever I hear that annoying squeaky voice of hers on a commercial,Guin.
Ugh.
And I agree with the bikepants on overweight women. Icky!
But I think the pegged jeans and the schleppy push down socks and the Reebok Princess hightop shoes are coming back. I was walking past a very fashionable boutique in the mall the other day and one of the window models was dressed in an outfit that I’d last seen circa 1985 or so: black,off the shoulder, slightly ragged/fringed cutoff sweatshirt with a bright(hot??) pink leotard, black and hot pink zebra-print mini skirt with legwarmers AND pushdown socks and faux Reebok Princess hightops.

You know, IDBB, you sure are judgemental about people. Nice to know you’re the headliner on the Glamour Fashion DO’s page and not one of those pesky, irritating, really offending the rest of the world fashion Don’ts. Way to go sister, way to go!
