Prejudices about clothing - automatic reactions to styles and items of clothing.

These Babydoll shirts scream “PREGGERS!” to me. I’m baffled why girls, with all the image issues most of them have, would purposefully want to look like they’re pregnant. Seriously, they look like maternity clothes. NOT a good look, if you’re not pregnant.

I have been guilty of refusing to admit my weight and wearing too tight clothes, but muffin tops have no excuse - the fashion is long dead, even down here at the edge of the world.

As I’m on the downward slide with my weight (yay for exercise and portion control!), I also have to admit to wearing baggy pants - until the budget frees up, I’m stuck with only one pair that fits.

Boyracer backward caps - my automatic response is a wish they don’t take out any innocent people WHEN they crash and burn.

You can have my Crocs when you pry them off my cold dead feet. They’re COMFY! And sometimes I wear them with CAPRIS! (But both of these I wear only for casual knocking about. When I want to look nice I wear proper shoes and pants, or even a skirt.)

I’m with ya on most of the other stuff here. People are slobs.

I always call them “blowjob lips” because it looks like they put on dark lipstick, then left half of it on their last client.

It isn’t a good look if you ARE pregnant, but frankly, few things are when you are the size of a beached whale. (Though I’ve always found overalls on someone with the six month tummy to be adorable).

I still use the “love child of Brittney Spears and the Michelin Tire Man” when talking about the reason I don’t wear tight hip huggers.

Man I love capris. I am really tall and have long legs though, so hopefully I am correct in my assumption that they don’t make me look short or stupid or anything. I just hate shorts but it gets too hot here to always wear pants.

What is up with women’s shirts being so damn long, where it’s like an almost-dress shirt? I like to buy some of my clothes from Target because my long ass legs require expensive pants so I have to offset the cost somewhere. But they’ve latched onto the trend that every shirt has to be 6" longer or more than shirts used to be. I just want a regular shirt damnit. Everyone looks fat in these unless they are a stick because they highlight any amount of stomach fat.

Me too! As we speak, I am wearing one of my 6 or so Pink Floyd T-shirts. I have at least 12 or more band T-shirts in total. FTR, I am a 32-year-old woman, and I love my rock shirts and I look cool, dammit!!

OOOH PF pants and flip-flops! I want me some!! :wink:

I’ll speak up for the “popped” collar, only in very specific situations for practicality. To wit: I’m a flying instructor, and the nature of the job is such that I spend a lot of time standing out in the sun on hot, asphalt runways. To keep from getting my neck sunburnt, I turn the collar up on my flight suit, and in the summer I wear a wide-brimmed hat. It offers near-complete sun protection, which when spend all day, every day out in direct sunlight, is a pretty good idea.

Now, at the end of the day when we leave the airfield and go back to the mess, you can bet the collar comes down, the ballcap/tilley hat goes away, and the wedge cap comes out. You can’t walk around like that off the field.

On the field, off the field.

Aside from protecting your neck against sunburns or insect bites, I can’t think of a practical reason to turn the collar up, though.

Ye gods you are cute.

Be quiet, wolfstu – you’re way too cute and not wearing a popped polo shirt. So hush. :wink:

And he’s very gay.

Or am I remembering wrong, wolfstu?

I agree he is very cute, though.

Oh … well I only planned on admiring him from afar anyway. :slight_smile:

My mommy bought them fo me at Wal-Mart last year. If you can force yourself to enter their clothing department (I know I can’t) they probably still sell them.

And yes, you do look very cool in your rock shirts, especially that PF one! Trust me, I know, because I totally have a super high-tech laptop that lets me see who I’m typing to via a little pop-up window at the edge of the screen. :smiley:

All the long shirts are a very thin texture. The point is that you can scrunch it up a bit and wear it shorter than the total length of the shirt.

You honestly dislike these, after years of shirts that only were about 1" longer than your natural waist, so no matter what, you’d expose your backside when you sat and your midriff/gut (depending on your level of sveltetitude ;)) if you had to reach up to get anything?

Hey I don’t much care which way he swings. He’s cute and I like looking at anyone who is cute.

I violate so many of these rules! ::giggle::

I own a pair of black Crocs, and wear them to work (in a pharmacy). And I wear them with KHAKI PANTS!
I wear capris. To add insult to injury, I’m a MALE!
I live in flipflops almost year-round!

Well, I guess that’s actually only three. My contributions:

Cargo pants. These, I think have fizzled a bit, but my impression was always that people don’t really need to carry that much stuff around, unless they’re shoplifting.

(maybe this is a Southern thing) - People wearing disgusting baseball caps. I get that you live in the country and like to go 4-wheeling and hunting, but wash the hat sometimes.

I’ve only ever noticed old men doing this one - leaving all the buttons on your shirt unbuttoned down to the bellybutton. I do not want to see your 60-old gross chest. If you were an attractive 60-year old, maybe, but you inevitably aren’t.

I’m tall with long legs and a long torso, and long shirts are a godsend, as it actually looks normal on me and I don’t have to fear that my midriff is exposed while at work. Of course, I realize that I’m going to be fucked fashion-wise once this trend goes away and cropped length shirts come back in style.
