Fashion Trends and Revivals Of Past Atrocities

[fireheart17]

1. Caked on make up.

This was a common trend at my high schools (both of them-one was an all-girls school). So glad I kept the "fresh-faced" look. Thankfully the caked-on trend seems to have disappeared five years down the track. (two of my former classmates got married-the bride was one of the "caked on" brigade)

2. People who go out during the day in pajamas. It's like a plague that's swept Ireland and probably the UK in the last few years. I've seen pubs introduce smart-casual dress codes just to keep out the pajama people. They wear dressing gowns instead of coats when it starts to get cold. I don't know if it's better or worse that they actually have specific pajamas for going out and different ones for sleeping in.

We've had smart casual dress codes down here for years, but it's more to avoid general trailer trash and for safety reasons in some cases. (although a number of pubs are getting dinged by discrimination laws because they won't let a man in with thongs (the feet kind) but they have no problem letting women in with pretty dolled up thongs (still the feet kind))

3. Jeggings. Your cellulite is your own business.

Jeggings in general are just horrible, horrible, horrible. If you want to "look" like you're wearing jeans, just WEAR jeans. You don't need sprayed on pockets and stitching to look like you're wearing jeans!

For some reason, Supre (one of the more "trashy" stores down here) has put out a much more "modest" summer trend: maxi dresses and skirts with a split up to the thigh. Now THAT I don't mind SO much....if they don't do them in fluoro. >.>

My usual day-to-day "dress code" consists of dresses and skirts, with a t-shirt.

That's actually a pretty clear-cut case, right there.

If you let women in wearing such shoes, then you have to let men in wearing such shoes. Though, to be honest, it would probably be in everybody's best interests to just ban them outright.

I wear men's clothes and have short hair. But it compliments me. Women's clothes are too skin tight for me (even back when I wasn't so overweight). I also have like 50 band shirts, a few movie shirts and some other misc stuff I wear on a daily basis, except at work. I mostly wear shorts, even in winter, my legs don't get as cold. But I live in Florida. I'd probably get yelled at by family if I went to New York during fall season wearing shorts by family.

What I hate is when people wear lingiera type stuff out in public. Fine in bed, but damn. And its always people who just don't look right in them.

Probably said this before but I will say this again; Ugg boots and imitation Uggs. They just look like a couple of dead ferrets wrapped around a person's legs and look hideous when worn with shorts and bare legs. -.-

[blas87]

Yeah, skirts and Uggs....in the winter. What the duck?

[Lace Neil Singer]

Especially since Uggs are pretty useless in the rain and snow; if they get soaking wet, they're ruined.

My cousin used to have a pair of "Uggs". She wore them around for nearly a year and a half before she realised they were meant to be slippers.

Might have been their original intent, but Uggs are just fancy boots now.

Um, in Australia (where they come from ) they are still considered to be slippers and worn as such. They also work amazingly well when it's cold.

[Lace Neil Singer]

Where I come from, Uggs would die instantly. XD A couple years back, there was heavy snow and a girl round where I used to live was cretinous enough to wear her Uggs in it. They were ruined and she was still whining about that a week later when the snow melted. XD

[fireheart17]

New trend that I hate.

Onesies. In public.

I have no problem with onesies being used in one's own home, but to wear them to the shops or out in public just....ugh. PLEASE FREAKING DIE ALREADY.

[Ginger Tea]

The only onesies I've ever seen are of the novelty variety.
Primark has batman superman and perhaps Spiderman designs as well as the odd animal.
Local Folk festival had a stall selling animal ones, so its like we had a mini furry con happening between live music.
