hilarious!!!!! This is perfectly described
"Raw edge" denim. It looks scruffy, it risks unravelling and basically indicates they didn't bother to hem the clothes but is treated as a design feature?
I find many tops / dresses sold in the UK way too plunging - especially from high street brands. Maybe it's a cultural thing; half my family is Chinese and it's not the norm to show a lot of cleavage there, in East / South East Asia it's not common to go into a shop and find that most of the clothes have a low neckline
All trousers being "cropped" - difficult to find full length ones. I understand why that is (again so that people don't have to bother with hemming and it can be worn with any footwear) but it is frustrating

I’ve been living in China for almost four years on and off and I know what you mean. Even the summer dresses with thin straps are worn over a tshirt here. I can’t believe how culturally unaware I was of the fashion to begin with. I was always going about with tank tops and no cardigan.
I always tell my boyfriend his eyes will pop out of his sockets when I take him for a night out in the U.K. I’ve shown him the drunken reveller articles in the Daily Mail to give him an idea.
Crop tops! Wish fashion brands would spare a thought for little chubsters like me!
That’s been going a good 7 or so years now and I’m tired of it. My bugbear is that I couldn’t wear that to work so find it a waste of money. It would be weekend wear only.
Stuff that was ugly in 1992 and died a death in 1994 that seems to have resurfaced recently like oversized trainers, chokers, bodysuits, bumbags on women, massive hairbands like something Fergie would have worn, those oversized Thatcher style blazers that are in River Island and Quiz now, those swimsuits/bikinis that purposely show the underside of boobs, those Levis tshirts that look like walking billboards, kitten heels on anyone under 60, obsession with huge eyebrows, tops with French words on like la femme, la vie est belle or whatever. I say ‘merde’ to that 
WHY is everything cropped! I'm slim, but I'd still like to cover my midriff, thanks.
Kitten heels on anyone full stop. The most unflattering item of footwear known to womankind.Stuff that was ugly in 1992 and died a death in 1994 that seems to have resurfaced recently like oversized trainers, chokers, bodysuits, bumbags on women, massive hairbands like something Fergie would have worn, those oversized Thatcher style blazers that are in River Island and Quiz now, those swimsuits/bikinis that purposely show the underside of boobs, those Levis tshirts that look like walking billboards, kitten heels on anyone under 60, obsession with huge eyebrows, tops with French words on like la femme, la vie est belle or whatever.

Not sure if someone has already said it but clear heels. My friend wore them once on a night out and they made her feet sweaty 
it made her toes hang out of them all night as there was no grip

I wore them to a wedding as couldn’t find any other pair to go with my outfit and I hated them.
Crop tops, man buns, thick painted eyebrows, jeans that are halfway down your backside (all the ‘street’ kids wore some years ago and some still do), ripped jeans (wtf?).
Anything in leopard-print makes the wearer look like Bet Lynch out of Coronation Street.

These kind of dresses. I live in Dubai and there's always escort/porta potty types going out to the clubs wearing them. It's so highly inappropriate in an Islamic country. Not to mention, they're absolutely hideous and incredibly tacky.
Dresses with one sleeve. Hinch style baggy jumpers that fall off your shoulder
Middle aged Karen types with ‘funky’ coloured short hair

Sock trainers - what the hell do you wear them with?
Those new Balenciaga trainers. The chunky off white ones deliberately made to look a bit "aged", that look like Hi Tek I had back in the day.
Think I've already said it but crop tops. Sick of finding nice tops to discover they're cropped.
I second short "funky" coloured hair Karen types. Including their shapeless, cheap knit wear.
Any "woke types" fashion. Borg jumpers, funky coloured dreadlocks, too many piercings (I don't like any piercings on men full stop), plaid clothing, trilby hats, school boy shorts, braces, glasses used entirely for fashion purposes.
Dr Martens. Dreadful. Chelsea boots, even worse.
Really slim women in black leggings then giant clunky white trainers. I always think they look like sets of golf clubs.
Those tacky hair clips with some sort of wording such as sexy, babe, etc. Usually diamante. They are quite juvenile.

Now that had me in stitches.
I have to agree. A friend has bought sandals with clear block heels and thick clear plastic straps this summer and all I could think of was "why". Didn't say a word to her of course, she was happy with her outfitNot sure if someone has already said it but clear heels. My friend wore them once on a night out and they made her feet sweaty
Was she happy to acknowledge this or did she downplay the impracticality of them and stagger on?Not sure if someone has already said it but clear heels. My friend wore them once on a night out and they made her feet sweaty
