Half Mast Trousers… but they can be amusing! Many years ago I was on a train with my friend. We were sitting opposite an older woman who was probably in her late 60s, early 70s. Well dressed, small solid heel on her shoes, handbag primly in lap. About two stops up three young lads (about 16) with droopy draws came lopping onto the train and sat down, two next to us, one next to the other lady. They were just being typical teenage boys, a bit loud (but not rude) and sitting legs akimbo. They commented where they were getting off a couple of stops later, and I watched as the lady glanced down, then subtly moved the heel of her left shoe and plant it firmly on the tattered hem of the boys jeans and shift her weight to that side of her body. I could see what was coming so I nudged my friend and told her to watch. The woman’s face was still the perfect picture of serenity. Sure enough, the lads stop came and all three went to get of the train. Except, when the kid with the now tethered hemline stepped off his jeans went *thwup* and fell down around his ankles causing him to pitch forward and faceplant on the train floor. The best bit… He was going commando that day! Mrs Prim is all like “Oh my dear! Are you ok?” As the kid hurriedly stood up and threw himself towards the door frantically trying to pull his jeans back up while his mates hysterically howled! My friend and I started to giggle. It was only then that the woman looked us directly in the eye and said in the MOST proper term… “**** that was fun!” Best. Train. Ride. Ever!
Not sure why you got downvoted as this is a fun story. Take my upvote.
I love cheaky old ladies. I hope that one day, I too, will be a cheaky old lady
This story perfectly illustrates the impracticality of the droopy drawers fad. You never know when something (!) Is going to trip you up.
We are are calling this cheeky? An adult planning an assault on a kid because fashion choice was judged improper. This practical joke basically turned into the sexual assault the writer expected! Would you all have watched a cheeky old man violently assault a 16 year old girl by ripping down her skirt. I forgot how this behavior was normalized when I was a girl. just trying to grow up. I am a fun cheeky old woman. I would've put the judgy mean woman in her place
Wtf? She -for no reason- tripped and pull down the pants of someone sitting next to her on a train?
Sexy sayings and sexy styles on children's clothes.
I am a teen girl. If I am shopping for clothes, it is eiter cropped, skin tight and exposing clevage or something made for a 5 year old. I perfer dressing more modestly, but this day in age of fashion is making it hard.
Amen! I am also a teen who decides to not show my body, and all the clothes that we see are just so sexualized
Load More Replies...I saw a kid wearing a playboy shirt. Got told to get a different shirt as was school
So not a fan! And again, please note these are mostly girl clothing and I find it very sad that parents think it is ok for their children to wear this degrading junk!
Small pockets for women so we’d have to carry purses. I hate holding things in my hands. Including purses.
For real, I have worn womens pants before how do y'all do it you can barley fit a phone or wallet in them
Load More Replies...Especially on pants where the whole point was pockets, i e cargo pants. I wear men's sizes because the ladies ones are uber tight like look at me, I'm sexy in my cargo pants! But that makes the pockets totally unusable.
I've always hated having to carry a purse. Then we went to Vegas to get married in 2009. When we arrived, I impulse bought a little leather waist bag - NOT a traditional f***y pack. I put it on and put my few essentials that I carry in it - cash, cards, ID, lipstick. I was free! It was so nice not to carry anything on my shoulder. I knew then that I would never carry a purse again! Since then, I'm always on the lookout for anything that I could use as a waist bag. If designed well, any little bag can be a waist bag - canvas, leather, etc. For me, as long as it doesn't look like the typical tourist f***y pack, any bag is a contender to strap to my waist. As far as size and contents, I just need a few essentials to have on my person at all times. As I made the switch, I also realized the eternal truth of carrying a purse - no matter how big of a purse you get, it will never have enough room for all your stuff😜
This one customer I had years ago made a belt with pockets, it looked really cute too. She had something she could make big 🙂👍
I’m gonna say something that can be polemic but I don’t like pockets or big pockets in all my clothing. It ruins the line and the fit.
i only carry a few things in my small purse, but i wouldn't want to carry those things in my pockets, it would be awkward and uncomfortable, and not as secure as a purse. i either use a small crossbody or belt bag. hands free!
That whole a$$-hanging-out-of-their-jeans phase. If I want to see your bottom, I'll buy you dinner and engage you in light-hearted but moderately suggestive conversation.
This trend actually originated in men's prisons. Inmates who wear their pants so that their butt shows are advertising their availability for sexual connections.
Having worked in a men’s maximum prison as a corrections nurse, i did NOT encounter anything that would allow me to confirm that statement.
Load More Replies...What I don't get is how can they run or fight with pants down like that?
Ha! Just today my sweetheart & I saw a kid wearing his pants like that. I asked my sweetheart if he ever wore his pants like that to which he replied, "No..." because the reasons you said. He grew up in a rough area & partook in plenty of shenanigans so he needed to dressed for action 🤪
Load More Replies...well, tell this to the kids who were at my middle school. It's so weird imo, I DO NOT want to see your Calvin Klein underwear, your a*s, and sometimes even your d**k. Best part, they normally had a belt on. LEAVE ME ALONE
Fake eyelashes. Why do you want to look like a camel?
I see this all the time, but I was blessed with my grandmother's camel lashes, so I've never felt I wanted to wear them, but b if you're a girl with tiny nearly-zero eyelashes, it's horrible wearing mascara a lá Tammy Fay Baker, so I can certainly get why. Trouble is, I'm not sure lashes are sold in a "totally normal" length - it seems to be "Lucille Ball or Bust". And I think a lot of them grow into the "or Bust" part after awhile.
Yesss I was blessed with long lashes. One of my classmates at the age of 13 or maybe less was wearing fake lashes… they’re so creepy!
Load More Replies...Finally, a comment on the absurdity of fake eyelashes! And ok lets talk about the sameness of all the females who look so over made up. Not sure I’d recognize one of these creatures without their overly made up faces on.
Did you know that false lashes were invented by a "lady of the night"? She didn't like certain stuff getting into her eyes so she invented them to keep it out. She called them c*mbrellas.
Super long fake fingernails. I mean seriously, how do you even wipe your butt or type on a keyboard?
Of course not, but you KNOW a fingernail has broken through the toilet paper at least once. That's why Freddy Krueger was always so angry, cuz he couldn't wipe properly. It's science.
Load More Replies...I’m amazed by these also, how do u apply makeup or do hair or even brush teeth, let alone putting in contacts or using a knife and fork
Also, totally filth! Couldn’t believe one day at a lunch, (with a woman I vaguely knew). Happened to glance at her long artificial nails to see grime on the undersides. Was horrified, bacteria live on the undersides of nails- I keep mine short.
I don't have super long nails, but they are quite long and I've always managed to wipe my a*s and type.
Me,too AND apply make up, style my hair, brush my teeth, put in and take out contacts, use silverware and anything else I have needed to do for the last 40 years.
Load More Replies...Shoes not being shaped like feet for the sake of "fashion". Yes, let's ruin our feet so we can have shoes that coordinate well with the rest of our ridiculous outfit.
Hey and did u know most shoe designers for women’s shoes are men? Reckon any of them could actually walk in a pair of the torture devices they design?
In high school I learned that left and right shoes are less than 200 years old. Before that, they were one shape.
Stolen from somewhere: Any pants with something written on the butt. "Pink" "juicy" etc.
I've seen girls do this and then complain about guys staring at their butts
I mean, I don't know about y'all, abut as a bisexual woman(she/her; loves she/he) I will definitely notice a woman wearing pants with words on the butt, but I don't usually stare. I love women and find them attractive(moreso then men for sure)but I have a great deal of self-control. It's almost like my sexuality and general respect for women are not in direct conflict with each other...gasp!
Load More Replies...Fake eye brows.
This. Fake eye brow persons: Have you looked in the mirror? More often than not, it looks just creepy. Unnatural. Strange. Well, yes, let's face it: fake!
okay...i kind of take an issue on this one. everyone in my family has lovely brows. me? i have what i call half brows. they go up...and that's it. i look like a relative of mr. spock or that i am in a constant state of surprise. so, in order to have a semblance of normal expression i do sketch in the outer part. if this is referring to the trend of drawing very thick brows then i would have to agree even though i participate in the practice to a small degree.
I agree it depends on the eyebrows. I’ve seen some over the top Joan Crawford types but have also seen some well done eyebrows that look complimentary and tastefully done
No pockets inside women's jackets.
Yep, my new rule if it doesn’t have pockets I’m. O My new rule for buying pants, jackets and skirts, no pockets, no buy
outfits so skimpy you might as well go naked.
Used to be schools had dress codes and stuck to them, what happened?
I guess people realized that school dress codes that police girls' clothing for being "distracting to the male students" are really sexist. If the boys can't concentrate because the girls are wearing skimpy outfits, then that's an opportunity to teach boys how to focus and keep their eyes to themselves, not an opportunity to teach girls that they need to cover up because they are responsible for what boys do.
Load More Replies...This right here..... I've seen girls in my highschool get away with wearing boob tubes and shorts so short you can see their panties
I am all for dressing how you like, but it has gone kind of wild now. Kids come to my school in pj's, even when it is not a day for that. Ex. Pajama day or Halloween. I have seen people come to school in friggin unicorn onsies! People also come to school in shirts that are just freaking sports bras. No one enforces things anymore, because then they face backlash for "opressing"
Load More Replies...Yes. Even in Hollywood, so and so is wearing see thru dress. Ok. Most likely it's all been seen before, but what happened to class, style, a little modesty, and looking drop dead gorgeous without baring everything? Some folks don't want to see it.
I think the term "your body, your choice" should apply here. If someone finds your outfit distracting that's a them problem, not a you problem.
Well. I have seen the issue where kids (like 10,11) have seen adult women dressing super skimpy, and especially if the kid looks up to that woman, they want to be just like them and show up to 5th grade in a tube top and booty shorts....... but I respect your opinion
Load More Replies...Those shirts that just have strings on the back. Might as well be a bikini top.
Agreed. Why would they do that? I can't wear things in my size cut they are TOO SKINNY. Not that I don't fit, but it's so uncomfortable.
The idea that certain people have to dress a certain way based on their size, "body type," gender, etc. Let people wear the things that bring them joy. Period! Exclamation mark, even!
there's definitely stuff that suites different body types but as long as it makes the person feel good then whatever lol
Agreed. As long as your privates aren't exposed, I'm all for people wearing whatever makes them happy. It's a lot more fun people watching now that everyone doesn't feel like they have to adhere to societal norms.
No no...if wearing no clothes at all brings them joy that's called public indecency.. Or just nipple tape and a thong
Similar to what "scag$y" posted: The extreme sagging pants: almost down at the knees, underwear all over the place.
I once read that they originated in U.S. rap culture, as they were worn by teenage boys who would wear their older gangsta brothers' trousers (pants). Can anyone confirm?...
I've read about it in this article before: https://www.menswearstyle.co.uk/2017/07/26/the-real-history-behind-sagging-pants/7788
Load More Replies...The fact that genuine fur has become fashionable once again. Why would you support animal cruelty?!
Animals are killed every day for use as food. Every part of that animal should be used for whatever it can be used for. Shoes, coats, hats, gloves.....every. single. part. And if you disapprove, don't eat meat of any kind
So you see many people wearing cow fur? Pig fur? The animals made into fur arent eaten.
Load More Replies...I am fine with wearing what you eat. For me this is sheep, cow and pig mainly. Fur from fur farms should be banned.
Yes every part should be used. However, animals used for fur are not trapped in the wild. Mink, chinchilla, etc, are raised on farms and then electrocuted for their fur. I can't support that.
That’s what I had in mind when I posted. Thought it was pretty obvious, but apparently not to everyone...
Load More Replies...It's not even that warm, either. When I was little I had a rabbit coat and was always freezing. Give me that fake sherpa stuff any day, much warmer
“Because the kardshians support it, so why shouldn’t we?”, train of thought. Incredibly frustrating & I despise that family to my very core. Folks that only care about how they look, or how much money they have, & only spend said money on themselves. I don’t think I’ve ever heard of the that family changing the world for the better.
If the kardashians ate s**t and barked at the moon, so would every fashion conscience woman in the USA.
Load More Replies...Raising animals strictly for fur is horrible. Any time a poor creature is put in an environment where they have no future other than to be murdered and skinned is horrible- and faux fur is worse because of its lack of biodegradability...
Are you aware of how chickens that end up in your grocery stores are treated? When I was a child, I had to help with the butchering of our chickens. That included chopping off their heads, plucking the feathers and removing the entrails. Try that before sitting down to a delicious chicken dinner. Most people are totally ignorant when it comes to how the meat on their plate gets there and I don't think they care.
Load More Replies...Open-toed boots. They make no sense at all.
They look like someone took and axe to the toes. And open-toed shoes are just as ugly.
Same as what everyone else replied here. also if it makes you feel good and you feel like you look good and it's not impacting anyone negatively, that's all that matters.
Load More Replies...Especially when they're too small and all the toes are smooshed together in the front looking like they're fighting each other for air
I have seen open toed shoes being worn with the toes over-lapping the soles of the shoes. Not very attractive.
Load More Replies...I dunno but I think everyone is allowed to wear what they wanna wear. Your body, your choice!
Then don't? Idk, this comment gives me the icks
Load More Replies...The amazing thing about our eyes is their ability to just...look...away
Load More Replies...Extremely pointy shoes. Puffy shoulders. Knee holes. Skinny jeans.
Those raggedy a*s jeans that everyone thinks are so fashionable, when our jeans looked like that, we threw them away. Ours wore out because they were worn and worked in. People now just want to look like they have worked so very hard that they must proudly wear their ragged jeans to show the world how hard they labored. And they are dumb enough to pay stupid amounts of money for them!
They are not trying to look worked in. It's a style. No pants ever wear that way naturally. What job would make the mid thigh wear in that way? None. Where on earth do you get the thought that they are showing the world how hard they labored? It's entire the opposite. They want to show they can afford fancy/ fashionable clothes . Let people like things. It doesn't improve your life to be a gatekeeper I would think.
Load More Replies...They always remind me of those days. They were great times for me - I was so filled with hope for the future. I don't care how absurd they look -- I'd like to see somebody walking down the street with a David Byrne suit!
Load More Replies...Wear what you want. For pretending to be an 'inclusive' website, BP sure loves their gatekeeping threads...
I agree with most of these, but I must admit I like some pointy shoes lmao. That might just be my jester-fanatic self talking though
Skinny jeans??? Idk what I’d do if I couldn’t buy skinny jeans anymore. 80/90s style jeans look like sh*t on most people
Yep, agree 100% and if u wear them all at once must be a little uncomfortable
Dayglow and fishnet. When I was in high school in the 80's they were all the rage thanks to early Madonna fashions...blech.
I like dayglow (or neon as we used to call it). Maybe not every day but some times ya gotta stand out! 🙂
Pulled up/high underwear so people can see, they just make me think of the wedgie they're getting for✨Fashion✨
Camo on anything not worn in a duck blind or deer stand.
I like to bump into people at the store wearing camo and be like sorry, didn't see you there 😆
Military wear uniforms, not fashion.
Load More Replies...It amuses me that you see all these hunters wearing camo… but with high viz vests
Deer don’t see the orange, but hopefully other hunters do.
Load More Replies...Hot pink camo is my favorite. Because lots of battles are fought in fields of carnations
Agreed!!! Along with t- shirts/hoodies with writing/photos- eg wolves howling at the moon. People who wear sweatshirt/pants combos in public that aren’t working out with grimy running shoes.
Not sure if this is already on the list, but high heels. Impossible to walk with, hurt so bloody much when you accidentally step on your toe.
I wore 3" heels whenever possible. They made me almost 6 feet tall! LOVED IT!!
Weren't you just policing other people wearing open toe shoes?
Load More Replies...It is not a first comment I see on this. There are many different sides to this discussion, some say they improve posture and some are completely the opposite. In some countries, girls learn how to walk in heels since they are little, so for them it is quite natural. In other countries, people don't care about how ladies walk, and for me it is horrific to see that they can't walk even in flats - pigeon-footed (or bear-footed in some other languages). However, if it is not your fashion, don't wear it but i wouldn't call it a trend really - it has been around for centuries
Again, a product that folks buy because of insecurities, this time about height. How can ppl not notice that?
I don't own any shoes without at least a little bit of heel. It does definitely depend on the style of heel, and the padding in the shoe, but heels can be really comfortable. Just don't expect cheap Target shoes to be super comfortable.
Super uncomfortable, tight clothing. Maybe just a me thing but I would love to be able to move sometimes.
Fake everything. Fake hair(I understand needing wigs for health issues, I'm not talking about that), crazy fake nails, fake lashes, fake b*@bs, veneers over perfectly fine teeth, fake bu+|s, blown out lips and face lifts... just tired of all the fake
What is the purpose of those huge, fake looking lashes. They don't look natural or nice. They look very fake and yet I see women wearing them while working at fast food places. I worked at McDonald's in high school and the last thing i wanted was to dress like i was going to a club.
And I certainly don't want someone's eye caterpillar in my food
Load More Replies...lol reminds me of that scene from Mean Girls when Cady is hugging Regina’s mom… rock hard bosoms

Load More Replies...Crocs, if that’s fashion and it’s not
I LOVE MY CROCS I WILL START A WAR!!! They're so comfy, like a better version of slippers.
Is not fashion but comfort.. and mine are lined so they're skip proof and warm.
Hmm sounds nice. 🤗 sorry if that came off creepy. Totally not my intent. Yesterday we got over 80cm of snow, & with the wind chill it feels like -22’C.
Load More Replies...Nobody wears crocs as a fashion statement, unless their being absurdly ironic. But if you want practical, comfortable, water-proof, tough as nails shoes and you don't give a flying f*ck what other people think, crocs are for you.
I have A coworker who thinks wearing black crocs is dressing up. He bought a $400 store to wear to an event and we all had to tell him not to wear his crocs
I kept wearing Crocs after they fell out of fashion the first time and was more than happy when they came back. They are comfy AF and I have crazy plantar fasciitis and they help. I will wear them til I die. Don't even care how out of date I look!
Socks with flip flops.
tbh I don't get whats so horrid about socks with flip flops. If it works for you, go for it. If not, Don't.
If you we’re on a sports team, this was super common. Most athletic shoes should only be worn on a certain surface, therefore making it a quick fix when it came time to suit up.
I'm guilty on that one, but I hate havinG dirty feet, and flip flops alloall dirt in between feet and shoe. One thing I hate is feeling that gritty feeling underfoot.

If the mullet is cut and styled correctly, they're damn sexy. For example, Toby Keith rocked his mullet in the 90's!
Extra low cut jeans
I definitely don't want the super low cut of the '00's, but please let me buy my low cut jeans instead of forcing me to get high waisted jeans by only having them! I miss my low cut jeans!
Historically, I'd say bound feet. Generations of Chinese women were tortured from toddlerhood until they stopped growing and were made prisoners in their own bodies, not to mention some died from bone infections going septic. All for the promise of a well-off husband.

The MC Hammer Pants.
My husband wears harem pants. He loves wearing outrageous clothing that makes people do a double take. People just take themselves so seriously! He says their comfy I say more power to ya! 😆
Anything neon. Any shoe that causes health problems (I'm looking at you high heels). Wearing leggings as pants. Anything that impairs natural breathing.
Like with shirts. I LOVE leggings, but I hate the see-through leggings. I disagree though, because leggings are perfectly fine with wearing leggings as pants.
Load More Replies..."Anything that impairs natural breathing." Me, who wears a chest binder 5 days a week: ._.
just remember not to wear them way too long, wouldn't want you to get bruised ribs! Wish you the best Jeff <3
Load More Replies...What about leggings???? I love them, they're literally designed to BE pants
Ok, so this was a loooooooong time ago. The 1800 I think, though I'm not so sure. Basically women glued strips of mouse fur to their EYEBROWS! It was apparently "becoming"? Maybe we thought for a while string thin eyebrows were nice, but MOUSE FUR!
Crop tops, fake pockets and small pockets.
The mullet. Business in the front, party in the back.
I'm going to have to go with how skimpy womens fashion is. I go to walmart to find a nice hoodie and it has to be cropped with a low neckline and made into a crop top. Also finding jeans that aren't ripped to shreds or look like they were made from just the scraps of other jeans. Or the tiny tiny shorts that look like they could be underwear. I shop at thrift stores most the time because name brand stores hardly ever sell clothes in my price range that aren't super revealing.
I miss fleece lined hoodies that were long enough to covered your butt. (Grew up in the late 80’s.) But now, everything is made so cheaply. Free people especially, I’m looking at you!
Not really a lot of choices when you don't have much money
Load More Replies...Corsets. Crinolines. Bustles. Heaven help us all, still available on Amazon. High heels for men, although that made something of a comeback in the '70s, I think? Builders bottom jeans. I do not want to see your a** crack, thanks.
Corsets and bustles are good if you're cosplaying. In normal interactions, not so much
I personally like heels on men, but they gotta have the right outfit and confidence
I like corsets, depends on the type though, as long as they don’t restrict breathing they’re pretty cool
proper corsets can actually help correct posture and ease back tension. I have a friend into historical fashion she wears corsets occasionally, once a corset is broken into its actually pretty comfy.
corsets are okay if they are used properly (not super tightened). And I think that high heels arent good for anyone. They are so bad for your feet. But of course, people can wear what they want if they are having fun
I like corsets. I find them fun. High heels were Originally for butchers to keep their pants hem out of the blood.
As someone who wears corsets and bustles frequently, I disagree with this. I definitely don't think that anyone should have to wear them, and the ones on Amazon are definitely s**t, but they can be comfortable if you want to wear them. My Victorian wear is just as cozy to me as sweatpants to most and makes me feel good too
Ronnie James Dio always wore high heeled boots on stage. He was a small guy so he needed the extra height during performances
False eyelashes, plumped lips, breast implants, hair extensions, etc. I feel sorry for the guy that unwraps one of those packages!
This doesn't make much sense, you don't take these things off of an evening ?
Yeah I always take my breast implants out at the end of an evening...
Load More Replies...I always say whatever makes you feel good. If a woman wants breast implants that's her choice, you shouldn't be able to notice them either. I feel bad for the woman if a guy leaves her because she got breast implants. I see them on the same lane as breast reductions. Would you feel bad for a guy if a girl got breast reductions? probably not
I feel bad for the woman who's date was totally hyping himself up only to find he's not all there, like several inches short and has no personality or experience. But that's just me.
Once again, people thinking women are items for purchase basically. But sometimes you can’t really blame them, considering how much fake c**p people put in or on their bodies.
Candies shoes. They were introduced in the 70's when I was in junior high school. The school banned them after a student broke her ankle falling on the stairs.
I was in South Korea when a child died from wearing "heelys" in school, falling down the stairs. Nice idea, but highly flawed unless the user is thinking about the consequences.
Everyone is acting like they forgot Shell suits existed! They were easily the worst fashion item invented!

Every time I saw this I can't avoid remembering a girl at school which her mother never wanted to bath her more often than once a month so in hot weather the poor girl really smelled and her baby hair stuck in her forehead. In general she was miserable with the strange actitude of her mom and the water
Like.. a babies hair or baby hair on adults??? Either way I'm.. pretty sure those can't exactly be styled and just.. are weirdly shaped lol
Styling an adult or teens baby hairs on their forehead is a thing, just Google it. Its more common with people of color in America. Its called laying your edges .
Load More Replies...The wrong clothes for the job/adventure. Also, fast fashion.. find quality clothes that won't rip from a paper cut.
Its hard when you don't have a lot of money. Even thrifting has gotten pricy. I do buy quite a bit of fast fashion because it's what I can afford, but I take care of my clothes and wear them until they are dead.
But I do agree fast fashion is not good, I try to buy from more ethical brands as much as possible
Load More Replies...Lulu Lemon. No way in hell am I paying for one pair of 100 dollar leggings, when I can buy a 3 pack of higher quaility from Costco for 20 dollars.
My daughter's (nick)name is Lulu and she loves lemons so Lululemon has been one of her nicknames for years. At one point I thought it would be fun to get her just like a Tshirt or something that said it, I knew the leggings were overpriced, but I'd never actually looked at what precisely that meant, and thought a basic tee would probably be cheaper. O. M. G. I about swallowed my tongue. Yeah, she did not get a Lululemon tshirt.
ok here me out... but i have 3 pairs of lulu and one of them is like dollar store quality but the other two i wear EVERY DAY and they are literally so comfy but there really expensive so thats sad but they are made with good material and I'm a dancer, currently training to be on broadway and they are the best leggings for athletics.

No no no. Going out? Get dressed! Unless I am in your house, I do not want to see you in what you slept in! 🙄 Is it too much trouble to throw on jeans and t-shirt?

I bought a pair of pants that said it had pockets. TECHNICALLY they did. But they were these weird teeny things that, despite looking like functional pockets, were actually so shallow you can't ever put your hands in past the second knuckle. WTF is the point of that? Like, you've already done the hard part, you put pocket openings in. What clueless braniac decided that tiny scrap of fabric, barely enough to hold a tube of lip balm, was a reasonable thing that people would want, and then to advertise as "pockets"?
Thongs. Who on earth finds these comfortable? I really want to know. Not to mention the bacteria that must accumulate on the back part.
Bacteria? They're not stuck all the way up your bum, you know that right? The fabric sits on top of the skin or slightly tighter depending on the person but never a full atomic wedgie. And someone's depending on the outfit you have to wear one
How does a string sit on top of skin in a crack? I think it's impossible. Don't answer, just saying.

Bit snug though ;0))
I had know idea what he was talking about! I would love to see a pic! Lol
Sadly lost most of my photos from that era in a major flood in the 90's ... hey ho.
Load More Replies..."Mom jeans", also known as high-waisted jeans. They make your butt look 8 feet long. Also, "tight rolled" jeans, where you make a cuff at the bottom of each pant leg that is tight against your leg (looks similar to if they had an elastic band at the bottom, like on track pants)
gotta say something, mom jeans aren't just the one type of high waisted jeans. I personally don't look good in mom jeans, I like baggier super high waisted jeans 😁
Skinny jeans that make your a*s look 3 axe handles wide and your feet look like gunboats.
Yes! I hate them! I don’t how how people can stand to wear them
There's a huge difference in high waisted jeans and those god awful mom jeans that are just high rise and big on every area you don't want it to be. It looks terrible on models and even worse on regular people. That c**p can go away but high waisted jeans if they're fitted actually accentuate your waist and bum. But do what works for your body not what's on trend
Hey let us ladies who've had c sections enjoy our high rise jeans!! 😆 Not having my waist of my jeans rubbing on my scar tissue is lovely!
The rolled cuffs on jeans.....wasn't that a thing in the late 70's and 80's? It seems like I remember this. Lol
Original jeans sat at the waist, period. Then, in the 60’s we got the ugly muffin top hip huggers that the fashion industry can’t seem to get rid of. And so, just because the originally designed jeans, sitting at one’s waist, are classic Levi’s or Wranglers all of a sudden they’re called “mom jeans”? Lol….someone doesn’t know their fashion history, and this uninformed name has, for some reason, stuck.
Ripped jeans. My mom spent ages patching mine as a kid, imagine not only buying them like that but paying extra for the privilege. What are you trying to express, that every inch of your thighs alternates between freezing and toasty?
The MAN BUN!!
I like it when it isn't overly styled, metrosexual hipster type thing (no hate if that's your thing, it's just not what I personally like :) ) but if a rugged guy has long hair he pulls into a low loop bun real quick I think it looks good 😆
Can’t be worse that shaving it on both sides & swooping it over. The hair style that made it easy to point out every shallow, superficial wanna -be.
Black hoodie and pants with bright white shoes.....everything is perfectly created to disguise any dirt except for the articles of clothing closest to the dirt?
Bell bottoms
Me too, they're stylish. Edit: but didn't downvote. Looks like someone 's been downvoting almost everything...
Load More Replies...Loved bell bottoms as long as they weren't too belled. Now I go for boot-cut. Hate skinny jeans....very unflattering for a woman's body.
JNCO and Bondage pants are definitely up there -- guilty party of the late 90s/early aughts and I don't seek your forgiveness, just to save future generations
I still like bondage clothing. It looks cool if you know how to style an outfit.
Jump suit/rompers for women. You have to undress to use the restroom, and often, time is of the essence. Not cool.
Ha ha I remember when the 90’s came back in style and I saw cute rompers again and had flashbacks of having to go completely nude to pee and I was like “ha ha fooled me once!”
Grey track suits unless you doing sports.
well... this goes along with #44... women are offended if the guys look at them funny... well, some of us are also being looked at funny by women if we are in grey sweat pants... TOTAL EQUALITY! :)
Skinny jeans, but this is a me problem. I'm trans and my legs are feminine as hell so I always wear shapeless jeans to hide it, bit skinny jeans make that very difficult
I'm hetero and hate skinny jeans for the opposite reason. I have calves like redwood tree trunks and the are very tight or rise up my leg. Unflattering and uncomfortable.
I agree. I used to be a runner and I still have very well rounded calves. It's annoying the way so many things seem to be made only for people with skinny legs.
Load More Replies...skinny jeans are so uncomfortable and sometimes they are all some stores sell. I mean, pants should not be cutting off my leg circulation
I love skinny jeans because they contain all my fat. I will never not wear skinny jeans
My no.1 hate!! If you're a thin little thing and want to look like you have toothpicks for legs fine but us larger built people struggle in these! It's like being stuffed into a sausage casing! I never thought legs breathed until I wriggled into a pair of skinny jeans! LOL It's truly disturbing on how hard it is getting to find straight leg or boot cut jeans .
Yeah! I have a few pairs and of straight leg jeans that work really nicely, but I couldn't tell you where I got them
Load More Replies...As a smaller person, I wear skinny jeans because I always have to hike up anything (even with a belt) more relaxed in fit. With skinnies I can trust that they'll stay up all day.
Puffed sleeves
80s big hair and skinny jeans on any oversized man.
Unpopular opinion here: Ballet Flats. The kind that offer zero arch support and have no protection for any part of your foot. I’m honestly more comfortable in a 5” platform than these toe pinching, useless, slippery, ugly excuses for shoes. For someone with tailors Bunyan’s and high arches they’re a one way ticket to plantar fasciitis and puncture wounds.
I spent over 15 years waitresses in ballet flats because they were cheap and comfy like walking in bare feet. Today I have arthritis in both feet, my feet are totally flattened and my left foot has developed a condition known as Charcot foot which leaves me highly prone to fractures. Please invest in good shoes and orthotics!
I’m sorry to hear that. Foot problems are the worst. I was lucky that when these things were fashionable I was already “too old” and had too many foot problems to wear them. I shuddered when I saw young women living in them.
Load More Replies...Agreed! I marvel when I see woman wearing these or Uber flat sandals that are literally a flat thin sole. This is how I ruined my feet!
I actually have a couple pairs of sandals that look like Uber flat sandals but have arch support and enough of a heel to protect my foot. I’ve yet to find anything that looks like a ballet flat with arch support.
Load More Replies...Men’s brightly colored, wide-lapeled, double-vented, full-on polyester leisure suit with rayon shirt to match and white slip-on shoes.
Yoga pants. Please stop!
I wear them for when I'm actually doing yoga or just around the house because they're comfy
Just an alternative point of view: I deal with extremely painful health issues, and sometimes yoga pants are the only thing I can tolerate going to work or otherwise out in public. My health issues are invisible, so no one would know why I was wearing them.
Load More Replies...Low-rise jeans. I reminisce on the haute pair of designer jeans I rocked in college (specifically 2003) with a six-inch rise, zipper barely longer than the pull tab, and personal grooming required before a night out and . . . well, I begin sounding like a journalism student asking open-ended questions: why did fashion embrace that trend‽ how did I manage to stand for the entire night at the club because sitting wasn't an option‽ and what was I thinking‽
i agree with the super low rise jean trend. but, if i could find a moderate low rise jean i was happy because i have a low waistline so it would fit great. on the other hand, the lower rises would be so uncomfortable.
Bodies come in all shapes, sizes, and proportions. I'm all for low-rise and high-rise jeans as needed to fit a body, and help that person feel confident in their appearance. I stand 5'9" and proportionately have a taller rise (today's high-rise jeans don't reach my bellybutton), so the low rise was seriously low. Unequivocally, the low low low rise was a fashion miss.
Load More Replies...That's why they also had tops that were like a leotard but with snaps at the crotch. Couldn't come untucked.
Pants with fake/ inadequate pockets. My husband and I have the same model phone. His fits in his pockets, mine doesn't. Any time I go to the bathroom, if I don't remove my phone from my pocket first, it ends up on the floor. I broke two screens that way. Also, pre-distressed jeans. They wear out faster from disintegrating in the wash, and they cost more anyway.
Low waisted pants Cropped tops Most of 90's fashion tbh
Guys wearing jeans pulled ridiculously low. I'm not seeing it as often as I did, so that's a good thing.
bodycons, suits worn with t-shirts instead of shirts, baby clothes with sexual or adult messages. Also this is is not really fashion, but a trend: the pressure on men and women to be the peak of physical perfection to be considered attractive.
Skirts over pants. This was a brief trend maybe 20-25 years ago. Not skirts with leggings; actual pants. It looked awkward and disappeared almost as quickly as it began
And I just looked it up and see it's trending again. Shows what I know, lol
When I think leggings, I think skintight soft and stretchy pants. Are the leggings in this case like ballet tights? Because I must say, I VASTLY prefer having an opaque pant under my skirt instead of a see through one.
Nope, with jeans. You wear a dress with a short skirt, like a classic summer dress and then wear jeans under that usually accompanied by cute sandals.
Load More Replies...OMG I hated this look, too. It only looks good on women who have the tiniest of tiny behinds.
Just all of it. The fact it exists and the structure around it. The people getting together and saying "blue will be really in this year" or whatever and then every retailer buys nothing but blue and if you don't like that then tough cos that's all there is now. The while thing designed to keep maximum turnover instead of supplying you with clothes. And everything all out of step with the actual weather - shop in (Northern hemisphere) March and it's all summer dresses, by August it's winter boots. Even children's clothes, which is insane because children not only grow but routinely spill things and lose things. If it's winter I want the shops to contain hats and coats, not sundresses, and I want a choice of cuts and colour.
Stirrup pants, gauchos, and belly bags.
During my pregnancy I lived in my gauchos day and night. They were stretchy, flowy and cool. No shame I'm my pregnancy comfort game! 😆
Cool as in temperature...not cool as in trendy 😂

parachute pants... gotta love those 80's
As a teen just coming into my s3xu@l being, I had a crush on a guy who wore parachute pants that showed off his bulge. He was a guitar player, rock style, and those pants with his rebellious attitude drove me wild. People who wore parachute pants looked cool in a rock style, but people wearing red parachute pants trying to look like Michael Jackson were a bit strange.
Fake drawn-on eyebrows. The gascination with dark penciled on eyebrows wil always baffle me. Why in the world would you want to look like an angry crossover between Groucho Marx and Mister Spock?? Also: 'Botox-faces' why would you want to lose the ability to have your own unique facial expressions, just so you can look like lots of others with the same unnatural face and balloon-lips? Btw, no offence meant to anyone!
There are a few middle aged women I’ve seen in our Neighbourhood that look like Botox’s/filled caricatures of themselves. How do they not realize that they look terrible? It looks terrible! Also, facelifted, liposuctioned, with drawn on eyebrows, skin tight clothes to look like Jessica Rabbit, with crepey skin everywhere else. It isn’t easy getting old but our bodies are meant to change! Aging gracefully looks so much better and beautiful!
Staring into a phone while pursing your lips.
Hmm, no one commented here. I think 99% of folks are guilty of this, lol
one thing that really isn't a trend but annoys the c**p out of me are purses that have both a shoulder strap (which usually gives the option of removing) and handles to carry with your hand/in crook of arm which are not removeable. if i want an arm bag i will buy an arm bag; same with the shoulder strap. using one as a shoulder bag is annoying because the handles get caught on your coat, doorknobs, etc. designers just need to make a decision one way or the other.
Totally! It looks horrible, can’t handle the handles AND the strap! I won’t buy purses that have both. Looks so very awkward.
Totally removing body hair. Keeping things near and tidy is one thing but looking like Ken and Barbie is a bit creepy and too much like hard work.
Judging others for their choices. As long as your clothes covers bits that are NSFW, wear what makes you feel happy and good about yourself. I'm completely comfortable with my historical fashion, complete with bum pad and corset, but I'll never judge you for going out in your favorite threadbare sweater that makes you feel cozy and warm. Just please keep those bits covered, okay?
80s big hair and skinny jeans on any oversized man.
Home cut Mullets. Ewwwwww! Absolute the worst. But I had this kid in my class a few years ago and he had a skullet. He shaved the top part of his head and had a mullet coming from halfway down his skull. It was the ugliest thing I've ever seen
I don't know if it counts as a trend. But bras are so uncomfortable and annoying. But yet women wear them all the time
I'm a horseback rider who has 29G breasts, not wearing a bra isn't an option for me...
You can always get a breast reduction. I had two friends get them when they were in grade 10/11.
Load More Replies...Torn pants and clothes that look worn have been mentioned many times, but I would also add that they are future waste because I have worked at a recycling center and only intact and clean clothes could be put up for sale. The second is that you have to dress trendy, even if it doesn't suit the weather. Enjoy those painful frostbites in your ripped jeans (sunburn in the summer) or your frostbitten ankles in your now so trendy Milhouse flood pants.
Mullets!!! Just. Why??? ‘Business in the front, party in the back!!! 80’s hairstyles in general were horrendous! Head banger layered hair, a hair sprayed helmet of teased hair.
Oh, that's easy. That "fashion" IS trendy. Once saw pictures from a "fashion show" where all the clothes were made of burlap.
High waisted shorts. I hate them. I think they make waists look too short and butts look like they're long, flat, and saggy/droopy.
Fake lashes that look like a spider on your face. Thick fluffed or penciled eyebrows that look like said spider just had a fit on your forehead. nails so thick and fake that Yoda would be jealous. Fake cheek fillers that make you look like Kryton from Red Dwarf. Lip filler plumping up lips that are always slathered in greasy looking gloss/balm that either make you look like you have a bu77hole on your face or you've been suctioned to a window for far too long.
Crop tops- I can’t find comfy shirts that actually fit me because they’re all too short. Fake or sewed shut pockets. >>:( Those giant rough tags that are so f*kin itchy but you can’t pull them off because there’ll still be even itchier scraps left. Anything will that has to go right up against your skin. So. Itchy. Argh. Compression socks. I don’t need my feet to feel like they’ve been duct taped, thanks. Women’s dress shoes. I swear they are medieval torture devices.
Well, really, any fashion that restricts natural movement (like the Edwardian hobble skirt, or the current tight skirt, especially with high heels), distorts and weakens the body (like corsets), or uses unnecessary amounts of fabrics (like farthingales, hoopskirts and bustles). Of course, most of these fads were mainly popular with the rich, who didn't have to worry about expense and mobility.
