“Make Me Physically Recoil”: 50 Fashion Trends People Can’t Stand

I think of long nails and fake lashes being unhygienic..

The long nails thing makes me think none of these people have actual jobs. How do you manage any tasks with talons?

That combination of capitalism and patriarchy is a method to divert women from fighting for their rights.

let me add this to my "no date" list

One of the downsides of extreme capitalism. It creates artificial needs which didn't exist before to make you feel 'imperfect' to keep the cash flow going...

It seems like every girl now have the same "Instagram" haircut, long straight hair with parting in the middle. It's so boring. I think avantgarde haircuts, like mullets, are great

The ugliest 'style' ever

I've got a magenta pink/purple mullet and I love it. I've had it for about 3 years. I'm turning 60 in less than a month and have no regrets about the mullet. It's not meant to look like a conventionally "pretty" Instabeige hairstyle..

No worse than the 'mushroom top' haircut I see on a lot of young guys.

Why not tho? They can look good like in this picture.

If I can't find women's clothes I like, I just buy men's clothes. I've discovered that clothes are 'gender neutral' and if a woman is wearing it, it looks like a woman's outfit. I have quite a nice men's button-up shirt with palm fronds on it that I've been told multiple times is "a nice blouse". Honey I bought that in the men's section at Woolworths!

Sounds likes OP goes shopping in the wrong stores.

I hate crop tops but I love regular tee shirts.

fake pockets on women's clothing is just ridiculous fashion blather.

Pockets! I want real pockets! Deep pockets!

I just want a pocket in my jeans that will hold my house and key fob IN my pocket when I go to the bathroom. What is the point of a less than 2" deep pocket?

And then you've got slow fashion. My husband wore a t-shirt today that's almost as old as our marriage (32+ years).

When I was younger, fast fashion was all I could afford, so I did my best to shop at thrift stores instead - I ended up with some gorgeous quality pieces :) the kind of clothing you call a “quality piece” instead of just a cheap sweater haha. I wish thrift stores were still as inexpensive as they used to be. Some of the prices are insane these days, like $40 for an old sweater.

Total waste of ressources, human lifetime and money...

..and the cost is ridiculous.

As a child of 90s grunge and 2000s emo, this is one I’ll always quietly be a fan of 😂 I love a good distressed Jean. Downvote me if you want, but it’s honesty. 🥲

I have some jeans that I wore holes into. It used to be that I wouldn't wear them in public because I looked like a slob. Now, I don't wear them in public because I look like a pitiful geezer who is trying to look cool.

When my jeans get as ripped as the ones I've seen, I either patch them or toss them.

Back in the 80's and 90's, if you were a "Hood" which was a metalhead, grunge, alternative, punk, etc..or broke as shīt, EVERYONE in the US wore ripped jeans. It got to the point where it was so popular in the 90's that big fashion brands were selling ripped jeans, cos' that was the style at the time. That whole trend was amazing for us poor kids, suddenly we were 'In Style" instead of people looking down and ragging on us. People weren't giving us shīt for wearing hand-me-downs, shopping at thrift stores or garage sales, bonus was while they were paying tons of money for fashion brands, we all knew where to get the cheap stuff for a fraction of the price. Also we could easily tell the "Posers" vs the "Real" ones, because they stuck out like a sore thumb and YES, we were definitely judging them the same damned way they looked at us.

Crocs as any kind of shoes.., Never.

Great for old people with foot issues though.

I use mine for gardening. Shoes get messy if you're constantly bent down weeding or digging into flowerbeds and such. These wash off easily.

If I'm going to the garden centre from my garden I'm not changing out of my Crocs...

I love my Crocs, have 8 pairs. They are incredibly soft.

Especially the Mar-a-lago "horseface"

I’ve had what was considered a “cosmetic” surgery. It was to fix my lazy eye (“wall-eye” to some people). It’s 100% improved my quality of life :) but had no physical benefits, it didn’t improve my vision or depth perception or anything. (Plus it was free, thanks Canada, I would have paid like $15K for it if I was American, I’d probably still be paying it off today lol but it was $0!). Because of that I can’t judge people TOO harshly if the procedure makes them feel happier and more confident. If it’s a procedure to correct something that was really hurting someone’s self-esteem, and their quality of life has improved, that’s great! But it is disappointing when you see someone make a poor decision that negatively impacts their health and appearance just because they’re trying to keep up with current trends.

Injections are not permanent nowadays. Botox wears off and fillers like hyaluronic acid gets broken down after a few months, too. Face-lifts are permanent, as they cut away saggy skin and reattach the skin behind your ears

In rare cases plastic surgery can certainly make sense. In most cases it's a big downgrade.

The only injections I get are vaccines.

a... what? ok, I googled, how is this a thing?
