Which clothing fashions would you like to see gone?

30txsbzmcu2k9w

I think we're in a period of history where in 10 years time we'll be looking back like we were in the 90s at the 80s and going what the hell were they thinking. The naughties have seen some pretty dodgy comebacks . Flairs, mullets, pink t-shirts, those t-shirts with the plunging v-neck -for men and most of those t-shirts with the collar in men's shops look like they've been taken from the Goonies wardrobe.
Also why has it become acceptable to dress like a complete and utter poindexter in recent years? cardigans, waistcoats, waistcoats over t-shirts, pointy shoes and a whole assortment of other preppy gear.

not sure a V-neck would be good with itchy sweaters

Sorry dont want to qoute you whole post....So is there anything you DO like? you must dress very well...

xOxSinéadxOx

I hate hate hate all the neon crap in all the shops lately!! Looks so tacky :eek:

hunnybee

Any of the clothes in River Island at the moment...what has happened there?

I am also with the skinny jean travesty..they should not be worn if you are not a perfect size 10..being an Irish woman, having the big hip thing going on - they are just not pleasant to look at

Wouldnt agree with the skinny jean thing at all, a tidy size 12 or 14 can look equally good in skinnies!!

agree with River Island tho, its gone waaaaay downhill

Allison91

I hate bags with fringe, gladiator sandals, oversized tops, harem pants, neon stuff..thats all I can think of right now.

edit: forgot ugg boots..

irishvamp90

hey everyone post up a tacky pic of neon and we have a laugh !!!!

fonpokno

Speaking of the blinding neon crap, today in Superquinn I saw a girl in her school uniform with 3/4 length fluorescent yellow tights underneath her school skirt and had all these neon ribbons tied onto her school bag. I'd hate to see what she dresses like normally.

Kersmash

Leg warmers. WTF. Especially those stripey black and neon ones. I mean they look ridculous anywax, but worn OVER pants? C'mon now like. Saw a girl in her school uniform with them over school pants. I have subsequentially lost faith in humanity.

irishvamp90

the scummer girls are wearing some awful neon stuff.and also them tarten jackets and them g unit tracksuits on girls

chocgirl

I can forgive most things except crocs. I can't stand them in any form, particularly the ones with the fluffy bits. Nothing worse than seeing a young mum with a couple of kids tagging along all kitted in them. Children shouldn't be anywhere near them, they're really bad for their feet.

LittleEve

Skinny jeans/pumps
Neon trend
Wetlook leggings

Did I hit a sore spot? Are you a trilby wearing ugg boot fan who regularly sports slogan tshirts?

FDuff

1. 1st place goes to Ugg boots... for God's sake keep them inside!!
2. 2nd place, very close, pj's, I've travelled quite a bit, and only in Ireland & the UK you can see that stuff. I wonder why you dont see that in those "Welcome to Ireland" adv!
3. 3rd place, the Crocks, these are just plain bland... and at the begining they were on sell for €5-10, and that was already too much, and now you find them for €50!

Lipsy(absolutely shiiit quality and construction,creative team obviously spent their time looking at LondonFashionWeek shows and sourcing designs from that)

I thought it was just me who thought Lipsy was really tacky. It seems to be portrayed as something fancy but the clothes look like something you would buy in a pound shop. Uggs are really really horrible. How can anyone think they look good. And Crocs too, ahh! Skinny jeans are nice but i work with a girl who i would say is a size 14 and she always wears them and i can see her stomach and arse crack hanging out. I wear them too but always with a long enough top to cover me. Dont mean to be bad but dont think they suit everyone. Horrible fake tan when you it looks like the person has wiped their arse with their elbows and knees cos all you can see is dark brown patches. And you can see the tan all around their feet too. Lovely.

taram

:O How could I forget Crocs!!! Despise them beyond all other shoes, though to call them a shoe is in insult to shoes :P Also is it just me or does NO-ONE wear the right size for them? Always see people sliding around in them. Ugly, ugly things.

After spending my afternoon in a shopping center, have to re-state, arse cracks are awful, please invest in longer t-shirts, or belts, or the right size pants, a nice mix of all of the above will stop my poor eyes being traumatised. Some women had at least 60% of their bums on show :O

ibbie

uggs
awear clothes- cheap and their jeans always stretch
river island- tack on tack!!!
coast - see above
tracksuit bottoms outside the house (unless emergency run for milk or hiking far from civilization)
the fake tan back-combed abercrombie teenagers that hang around dundrum like a tribe
leggings with saggy knees!
skinny jeans- over it
white jeans / trousers
louis vuitton bags- despite its price looks really cheap

All of the above especially the bold ones.

Guys who all wear the same thing on a night out. Slacks, shirt, waistcoat, leather shoes. . It looked good for a week, get over it!

Those lycra dresses that are baggy on the top half and then get super tight around the bum and thighs.



Probably many more I just can't think of any. I'll add as the come back to me.

Edit: I know it's not clothing but... those streaks of pink/purple/blue that girls get in their, I'd gladly see the back of them.

Léan

Uggs.
Neon stuff.
Anything by Juicy Couture, i especially hate the bags and the tracksuit bottoms :mad:
Oranage tan
That stupid "i've messy hair but spent 3 hours styling it to look like this''.
Wide belts that everyone wears to clich in their waist but just looks incredibly cheap.
Poker straight hair - that look where you know they've spent ages getting it so straight and as a result it looks reallllly severe.
Tuilip skirts/dresses - not flatering on any shape
The blazer trend, waaay over done.
Cheap looking leather jackets.

Think that's it for now :P

Wet-look leggings have got to be the ugliest clothing item around.

People walk around looking like they have bin liners glued to their legs!

Tacky, unflattering and just hideous!

DESTROY them!

Im not fond of this trend but what makes it worse is that iv seen far too many heavy set girls wearing this.
If there is 1 country where girls are completely oblivious to what suits their body its Ireland.
The whole Balmain/Givenchy/Alexander Wang look is far too played out and unless your a fashion editor or have an amazing body - avoid.

Generally plucking trends from Grazia,Hello,Heat etc is tragic.The best dressed girls I know dont even follow fashion.

Baggy leggings.

Not so much as fashion trend per se but I've seen them far too much recently. There's a big baggy gap at the back of the knee or the elastic in the bottom of them is gone. Bleugh.

Or worse, when the arse/thighs of the leggings get worn and you can see right through them. Not a good look.

Firetrap

Flip flops. Words cannot express how much I hate them. :mad:

Aoifums

I can't stand

Most people wearing full length leggings.
Leggings instead of trousers
Leggings with a t-shirt, even if it's long
Leggings with hoodies... Who the hell came up with that?
Tracksuits outside of a gym
MC Hammer pants
Anything neon
Most clothes from Penneys/other cheap shops that fall apart after two washes
Those really short denim shorts that are in for summer.
Skinny jeans on most people.
Uggs
Fat pants. Or whatever those tracksuit pants are called.

Fake tan on anyone. Most Irish people don't have the complexion to pull it off. It doesn't work!! It streaks, it orange-afies and it smells bad. What could get worse!
Foundation put on with a shovel.
Messy hair.
Short, spikey, over straightened and over dyed hair.

I don't mind Crocs on kids under 10 during summer. They're handy for little kids because they can be worn in water, easy to dry and slip on.

xOxSinéadxOx

I know what you mean about the short short denims! I was looking for a nice pair of denim shorts last summer but I actually couldn't find any anywhere that didn't show my butt cheeks??!

Ash_M

Crocs on anyone old enough to know better.
UGGS.
Leggings! They're not flattering on anyone, stop the madness...

Keith186

skinny jeans are rotten or is it just a gay thing like pink?

Aoifums

I hate the cheap canvas shoes from Penneys that everyone is wearing. They look awful.

I have a pair of Keds, bought ages ago in NY, now I can't wear them because they look really cheap now.

Pink isn't that gay. And gay girls bitch about skinny jeans. Unflattering to the extreme!

K i REALLY agree with everone talkin bout the neon clothes that are goin around! Unreal TACKY lookin! Colour is gorgeous but i draw the line at lookin like a set of highlighters!:p

I do love the canvas shoes though...whether their from penneys or river island...they're an-comfy altogether!:)

I HATE "scumbag" tracksuits matched with air max runners and those fred perry jumpers...
oh and also....jumpsuits or playsuits...need i say more!

Rant over!:D

Women who cling to being a particular size. They insist on wearing clothing in a size 10, for example, when in reality their body is a size 12. What happens is the too tight clothes make them look heavier than they would look if wearing the proper size. I have a friend who is quite slim. She is a 10 but buys jeans in an 8. She ends up with a muffin top which wouldn't hapen if she'd just go up a size.

+1. At work I'm always telling ladies to forget about the size! If it fits, buy it! Screw the size. Who's gonna see the label? If you feel so bad about wearing that size, cut the label off. Evidence gone and well fitted clothes!
