Skinny jeans. Gross. Especially with flat shoes.

Creamy Goodness

I love my wellies

Ruu_Old

Socks pulled up over tracksuit bottoms (not just because you are on a bike either).:(

Civilian_Target

Wearing scarves indoors.

Dundalk Daily

Anyone remember the scotchy jeans a kind of light blue tartan stone washed jeans, mid 80s.

Also those padded lumberjack type shirts, mid 90s.

I'm guessing you're from a city. When you're from the country, wellies are a necessity, not a fashion accessory. They have no kudos. They're for keeping sh1te off you're trousers and water from you're socks. If you are from the country, you must get the p1ss taken out of you unmercifully.
Seriously though, I'm sure they're very nice on you:rolleyes:

damonjewel

mostly 80's stuff

puffball skirts
leggings/leg warmers
sidetie shoes (from simon harts)
flecky suits

And more recently
the whole sporty street/chav look worn by masses of kids (whatever happened to style?)

and in the hair dept

'The Mullet"

fish-head

Fat man pants and Abercrombie and Fitch. Any kind of tracksuit bottoms..

Damn right they are.

They're really a necesity in the city where traffic is appalling and you have to walk from a-b all the time, especially so in Autumbn and Winter when it rains like Bejaysus, I don't want my other shoes getting wrecked by mud or the ends of my jeans soaking water up to my knees. And because they have a nice pattern of flowers on them, they can be both functional and fashionable at the same time.








(and I get to jump in puddles)

Fake tan,
That streaky orange leg thing never did it for me....

Kolodny

i think he means the baseball caps that are at a constant 90 degree angle from the top of the wearer's head.

Tar.Aldarion

Track to the suit bruvva.

EDIT: I love my luminous items.

Blackjack

Most have already been said, but I'll opine anyhow.

Pyjamas being worn outside.
Shell suits - anytime, there's no excuse for these.
Wardrobes that consist only of Celtic and/or ManU tops.
Bling.
Burberry - it's really only for scumbags and soccer Hoolians, plus it was always an Ugly design.
Baseball caps being worn off and to the side with those headscarves underneath.
Hairy boots.
Shoestring ties.

Léan

Velur.

Tar.Aldarion

But it looks so good on Captain Brannagan.

I like the classic Burberry mac, that only has the design on the inside and makes you look like a spy!


But too damn expensive :mad:

Pigman II

Demin jeans + high-heel shoes.

Something just *wrong* about it everytime I see it.

stovelid

Jaysus, here's me thinking she was a tarty, perma-tanned, haggard old munter with a lollipop head.

Thats me told.

shorts on girls...... wtf, seriously... not sexy at all!

2funki4wheelz

Giant long talons for nails, especially the fake gel ones, they look creepy and grubby and are so so bad for your real nails.
Actually worse when it's the pale french manicure and the wearer has fake tanned hands and big fake bling ring.

Add giant fake bling too. Sad and tacky.

I hate that, I esp hate those girls who are soo lazy in the morning that if they are going outside and deside to put on a skirt..they leave the pyjamas bottoms on!!!

Shag tags!!

ClockWorkOrange

The mother of them all -> Tracksuit bottoms with shoes...

Miss Fluff

Spandex
Uggs
Sleeveless t-shirts on gentlemen
Perms

Blush_01

Ugg type boots on men. They look crap on women, but trust me, they look worse on men. I did a visible double take the first time I saw that.

Umaro - cons are the most comfortable shoes ever. I wear them for work and they're great.
Dubes are apparently really comfortable too - hence lots of nurses wear them, esp. as they have covered toes.

JustCoz

Tracksuit bottoms tucked into uggs, and skinny jeans on anyone who doesn't have Kate Moss's figure. They're so unflattering!

Villaricos

Uggs! for the love of god theyre like feckin slippers!!
tracksuits being worn for purposes other than sport or lounging around the house, come on theres nothing flattering about them!

Hahah yeah my Dad has one.. I should steal it and stand around and look shifty. If only they were fashionable, that'd be sharp.

Actually macs are very in right now, especially in bright Red, or in the classic Burberry nude.

I have heard that Cons are really comfortable but for they're just associated with artsy punk-fans. And that's why I don't like them!

I concur with you on Dubes though - they kick ass, my 11 year old sister got her first pair last week. My 16 year old sister hates Dubes (and what they stand for) and loves Converse - we're a family divided :rolleyes:

I'm going to have to ask for some more information on this one, I refuse to believe it. Is there any chance you could find a photo of something similar?

EDIT: Following some detective work, I came up with these:

Not quite what I had in mind when you first mentioned it, much less hair that I would have thought.

I couldn't disagree more obviously they look horrible on fat/chubby/''curvey'' people though.


Layering clothes, frills, those flat ballet looking shoes, blue jeans, short jackets and tops that make peoples bodies look really long and their legs short.

il gatto

Uggs look like rigger boots (ask a builder) and have been named perfectly. I don't understand the Burberry thing at all. They're a well respected fashion house. I wouldn't dismiss them because of the chav thing. That's just a passing fad. I still don't get what started it though. I mean, what'll be next? A Barbour waxed jacket? Smoking a pipe? Carrying a silver topped cane? Why Burberry check? It doesn't fit with the sportswear/R'n'B stylee. Bud.

Yeti boots. Especially the kind with bobbles hanging off them.
With jeans tucked into them. Or tracksuits. Or anything. They look horrible.

Oh and wearing tiny miniskirts in this bloody weather. Wearing skirts over skinny, fugly leggings. 80s is BAD.

Dudett

Peddel pushers

Seraphina

fashion in general

the idea of wearing something simply because its 'in' and not because you like it/ it suits you/ you look good.

following fashion for the sake of it and looking like everyone else = WORST TREND EVER
