Fashion trends that you can't stand

[Readread]

Need I actually say any more. Wtaf.

 

[Offtobuttonmoon]

The enormous oversized headbands with a bow on for babies

 

[supernintendochalmers]

Chunky trainers
Velour/Juicy Couture tracksuits

 

[Dirtyhorseshoes]

Teva sandals

Also, how could I forget? White women wearing braids like this. It makes me feel uncomfortable and seems to make a reappearance every summer.

Gals on Depop flogging their actual kiddie clothes from 20+ years ago and calling it ‘y2k fashion’.. never thought those frilly butterfly printed lettuce hem tops from Next would come back to haunt me so soon

Men/boys wearing tracksuits, a man-bag swung over their shoulder and a ‘meet me @ McDonalds hair cut’

I was a taxi driver for a few years, and that is giving me flashbacks. So many early morning runs as they went on endless looping errands, hunting for either a ride or a line. Always greeting me with "Whut's haaaaaaaaapnin'?" in the exact same affected Nathan Barley voice. Perpetually scrounging for phone chargers, usually so they can show me a video on their phone as I drive along dark country roads at 50mph. All of them with the faint cat-piss aroma of a middle class doofus who's been grotesquely overcharged for a bag of bottom-tier snortables.

Being a cabbie also gave me a deep loathing for the following ensembles:
Man in early middle age with a polo shirt, dress trousers and winklepickers is guaran-fucking-teed to be an utter psychopath.
Man in late early page wearing a blazer, salmon shirt, red trousers or any non-flat hat was guaranteed to be a rude, nit picking wanker.
Young woman in thigh high leather boots is guaranteed to be a shrieking liability. Middle aged woman in the same boots will be an aggressive shrieking liability. Old woman wearing them, instantly phone the police. It's fine, they'll understand.
Anyone wearing one of those fleece jackets with animals on them is deffo a total wrong'un.
Similarly if they're wearing football socks but no other football-related attire.
Young women wearing them extreme cut bootie shorts [where the cheek hangs out] and fake bake tended to actually be pretty well behaved, but you had to wipe the seats down afterwards cause they tended to leave a little imprint.

Men with long hair or a man bun, bonus points if it’s slicked back on top as well, like this.

Oversized jackets and coats etc, I have never seen anyone actually look good in one.

Athleisure - the lazy woman’s way to pretend she made an effort.

The scouse brow. Often they are drawn on way too thick.

Lace up heels and sandals. They are way too much of a faff and always try to slide down your leg after a long period of time.

Michael Kors bags, the Burberry of the late 90s for millennials.

Bum bags or bags worn around the waist. I think unless you are wearing one with a blazer, it ruins the silhouette of your outfit.

Perspex heels and shoes in general. I have a couple of pairs and like their versatility but the pure market saturation of them is making me change my mind.

Thong bikinis! Most people you see wearing them do not have the figure required to pull them off. What happened to a nice Brazilian brief cut or a hipster/high waist bikini bottom?!

Also, not really a fashion trend, but linked. I subscribe to Vogue and Elle magazine and love reading them to escape reality and look at the beautiful photography and people. I don’t want the models to look more normal as many are saying. I enjoy the escapism and looking at pretty things - whether people or objects!

 

[Italy2]

Really tight clothing in both men and women but especially men. It looks so uncomfortable and borderline torture. Just wear your damn size.

Oh and very tight leggings. Don't want to see your camel toe or private parts.

 

[peachhes]

Crop anything. Why can’t shops just make normal length tops? Not everyone wants cropped shirts all the time.

 

[SloaneRanger]

These came up on an advert on Facebook, I mean just WHY?! Does anyone actually wear this type of thing?!

 

[Carmen 6]

No socks grooms and midriff brides.

 

[Pixipoppy]

Cycle shorts, oversized shirt and a blazer

are you going for a bike ride or job interview?

When you’ve got a board meeting at 10 but the Tour de France at 11

 

[TheScarletgirl]

Pointed fake nails

 

[PreciousVenus]

Having just spent hundreds of pounds on physio for a major ankle injury exacerbated by wearing 'stylish' shoes you can pry my orthopaedic birkenstocks from my cold dead hands so good for your feet.

 

[bubbadabut]

Laminated brows. I just don't get it, sorry anyone who has them. Bonus points if they're teamed with Russian lashes. I saw someone with those the other day, and they were so big and heavy she could barely open her eyes

 

[Freebies_come2me]

this is controversial, leopard prints sorry ladies

looks like something my aunt will wear when she seduce her husband

 

[Vulnavia]

THIS nonsense. WTF?

 

[Bitofthebubbly]

Those chunky Fila trainers from the 90’s or whenever and anything remotely similar looking.

They are ugly af and look ridiculous don’t care what anyone says.

 

[Nolongerjustalurker]

All the milkmaid tops, off the shoulder, backless stuff, my boobs cannot and will not take it
