I hate sandals on men.
Boat shoes are ok. On a boat.
Loafers with the kiltie thing? My dad had a pair and we called them his “fruit boots”
Slippers on men – not my favorite look, though I acknowledege a need to keep the feet warm in winter
Hate “cowboy”.
Hate athletic wear when the person isn’t working out. Especially the pants with the stripe down the side. Yechhh!
Hate shorts on men. And most women. They’re adorable on girls up to the age of 21.
Love a wife-beater on the right guy. Mmmm…
Hate jewelry on men
Hate most logos, though I agree with the subtle “tag” style logo. They’re do-able.

add to that straight skirts, short (above the knee) skirts, leggings
I can’t wear yellow. My mother took me aside one day when I was wearing a yellow sweater, and said solemnly, “Girl, don’t you know better?”
–I won’t wear anything tight or constricting, or anything made from nylon (it’s itchy.)
– I won’t wear big logos. Why would I want to inform strangers where I shop?
– I won’t wear heels, or a dress unless I have to do so.
– I won’t wear anything with sparkles or sequins.
That was gonna be mine. Actually, khaki pants of any sort. Or, at least, not until I’ve completely given up on attempting to look attractive.
Also, shoes with ankle straps. Love the look but I have chunky ankles. (actually that was the very first fashion rule passed down by my mother, we all have chunky ankles in my family)
Big chunky heeled loafers. I like pretty shoes not ugly Frankenstein shoes.
Most colors. They make me uncomfortable, especially up around my face. I wear black and greys with the occasional pair of dark brown cords and pink accents. That’s it for my color spectrum.
Boho. I despise flowy, Stevie Nicks-inspired stuff. I know it was all the rage last summer but I’m a pencil skirt and heels gal at heart.
High waisted “mom” jeans. Wow, those are horribly uncomfortable. I can’t believe that’s what we used to wear 20 years ago.
I like sequins if they’re not over-done. I don’t like to look like a walking disco ball.
I won’t wear brown shoes.
I won’t wear dark-coloured socks or “dress shoes” unless I’m wearing a rented tux.
Pantyhose (esp. nude)
In colours: hunter green and navy blue (actually I take back the navy blue because my monkey suits are in that colour but for any other article of clothing)
Gauchos: I have yet to see anyone wear those without sporting massive camel-toe
Boots/dressy shoes with anything under a 4-inch heel. I need my leverage.
Anything less than 22K gold
Fur
Bras with clear straps
I own some but no longer purchase pointy-toed shoes-I prefer the square
Anything ruched, ruffled, frilled or boho-esque (basically anything out in stores right now). First because I have plenty o’ casual ethnic wear directly from the mothership that looks a lot better and second because I prefer the Herve Leger aesthetic.
Turtlenecks
80s recall fashion
Non-bootcut jeans
cheap shoes
synthetic fabrics
belly shirts
thong swimsuits.
anything that Britney Spears would wear
real fur - my bunny would never forgive me
No red shirts, no white shirts; both make me look a wierd color
No pantyhose
No high heels except for a costume
Oh, yeah, I forgot thong undies. I buy my undies based specifically on their ability to stay out of my butt crack. I don’t want them in there on purpose. :::shudder:::
Nothing filmy and sheer. Nothing bo-ho for me, either.
As far as colors go, I don’t wear anything bright orange or yellow. And that awful pukey-green that’s so popular right now. No plaid.
I wear a lot of navy and black.
what kind of costume? Hallowe’en? or are you in a performance group?
Wow. That looks like a florist shop exploded…
and did you see the prices? no wonder **vix ** won’t wear them.
That reminds me-skirts or dresses made out of brocade. I feel like I’m wearing a tablecloth or a curtain. Blandana Republican always rolls some out around the holidays.
I will not wear Green Eggs & Ham!
I will not wear them, OpalCat!
What?
I had a few things, but I realized I could be talked into anything if the reward was worth it.
Wow, we’re a diverse bunch aren’t we. This is great!
vix- I’m afraid I have to agree with you, Lilly Pulitzer looks like Pucci does the Hamptons. Tweeness combined with loud pastel floral prints is close to my idea of style hell.
Gotta love the names though. I give you Candy Island Hut. It does exactly what it says on the tin.
Anything skintight. (My skin isn’t even skintight.)
Hip hugger, nut buster pants.
Cowboy belts or hats.
Hoodies.
Thongs. Either kind.
Lavender. I’ve worn pink, magenta, even a bit of lime green, but never lavender.
Silk shirts. Those suckers are HOT.
Anything with holes in it that weren’t put there for a functional reason.
Square-toed shoes that look like robot feet.
Bling save for tie bars, cufflinks and the occasional saxophone lapel pin.
Anything with a brand name bigger than my thumb.
I never wear sweaters, sweatshirts, and rarely non button-up long sleeved shirts (and those button-up ones are just for work.)
Only button-upshirts should have a colar. I HATE turtle-necks (my god, how can you peoiple stand them?) Even a mock turtle-neck is too much for me. I have weared polo/golf shirts to work, and about two minmute after putting it on I realize why I usually only wear them if I have to, I hate the way a coalr feels on a non-dress shirt. Plus, the colars on my polo/golf shirts never look nice. After one wash they start to get “creases” in them and are lopsided, folded over, and in general look like I am unkempt. I try to iron them out, but no go.
No man should ever wear pink. Ever. Hell, most women shouldn’t either. It’s ok for undergarments, but not much beyond that, IMO.
I don’t wear black t-shirts very often. i think i ahve two, and they are generally last in my cycle if I can help it. Same goes ro dark blue, which I have one shirt.
I also have very few white t-shirts. Greens look best on me (at least, I say that they do because I like greens, for all I know, they make me look like shit. But I don’t care.) I also am known to wear muted oranges (not super birght traffic safety orange, more like a rust orange.)
Underwear shall always be boxers, unless I am worknig out, then boxer briefs. And even those make me feel all restricted, but it’s a price to pay to kep ‘the general’ from floppin’ about.
No rings, wristwatches, bracelets, necklaces … no jewelry of any kind against my skin.
