    ISIS type beards!

    Don't get me wrong, I like traditional beards, but this new style/shape of beard does the wearer no favours what so ever.

    ...in my opinion.

    I feel your pain m8. I had biebers original haircut before he first broke out, then i had ripped jeans in 2014 (due to not having any new jeans) which kanye decided to make a fashion line, then i went buzz cut and justin bieber stole that too. Very frustrating

    O jasus your gonna get me started. Ripped. jeans. What kind of a moron buys an intentionally damaged piece of clothing. "But it looks cool". It looks like you bought damaged clothes intentionally and are there fore a ****ehawk. Maybe I'm a sexist but when I see women in ripped clothes, it passes by me like water over a rock but when I see a fella wearing some.... He's automatically in the silly cvnt bucket awaiting drowning with all the other mongoloid kittens!

    I love ripped jeans. I don't wear jeans very much, and don't own a lot of pairs but I love the distressed boyfriend style jeans. Proper distressed now, not the ones with knees that look like you fell running for the bus

    They are a looser fit, as if you were wearing your boyfriends jeans.

    And is it the jeans that are "distressed", referring to the damage, or the boyfriend, because some little wagon has stolen and mutilated his trousers? :pac:

    Can't do it. The rational side of my brain says "Fizzy, you aint a fashionable guy. Just let it go. Your not meant to understand". The problem occurs when the rational side is informed that someone paid good money for ripped jeans. The rational brain takes over "Bu...but your legs will get wet and cold. The bits of thread and **** could be tickly or uncomfortable against your knee. The life of the jeans will be reduced due to the fundamental structure being weakened. A normal un-ruined pair of jeans would look just as good. I don't understand. why. whyyyy. WHYYYYYYYYY". *Wakes up naked in a field in Kerry.....

    I'm another one to hate those thick eyebrows on women. It just looks like two of those furry caterpillars have crawled up and decided to stop for a snooze unbeknownst to the lady.
    Then again, when I was 20, the fashion was to shave them off and paint them back on.....:pac: I always just stayed with well shaped brows, what's wrong with that!

    I don't mind skinny jeans or ripped jeans or bootcut, I own all of them and depending on what I'm at I wear different ones. (currently skinnies as I'm in and out of overalls for the last few days with a sickly calf)
    Ripped jeans are great for flashing a bit of skin if it's too cold for a short dress on a night out! Proper ripped ones now, that look like an angle grinder was taken to them. Ones that take about 5 goes to get into as you keep getting your feet stuck in the holes and you just make the rips bigger each time :D

    I can't say I am mad about distressed jeans or embroidery, patches, ruffles and all that stuff. I always thought well tailored, well fitting, simple clothing works best. Oh I also don't like florals. That rules out about 90% of current trends.

    wearing jackets that are two sizes too small and trousers that would cut the family jewels in half. Fashionable me arse

    Hate to tell you this but that jacket is the right size for him. Perfect length in the arms, perfect length in the body, not hanging off his shoulders.

    I have noticed a lot of people wear clothes that are obviously too big for them, I think it's a hangover from when they were kids and their ma would by them clothes that they'd grow into.

    Saw a girl in Italy and the ripped jeans she had were practically hanging off her. Not just knees but big rips up the sides. It's like they were fit for the bin.

    Have to disagree. The lengths are fine but the sleeves are too tight and it wouldn't close around the front. I think it's just poorly made though.

    Don't like jeans with rips in them myself but not really for fashion reasons. Have had a few pairs in the past but find that eventually the rips get bigger and the in the end the jeans don't last as long.

    The sleeves are perfect and it'd close no problem. It's a fitted jacket, not a big winter coat.

    Then it would be about hoodies and socks. F*cking amount I've lost over the years!

    It looks tight and uncomfortable, as well as being a ridiculous hybrid of council jacket and duffel coat.

    It's a top so awful that even your mates end up giving you the cold shoulder so nobody thinks they're with you.

    Those awful floral tops/dresses akin to granny's 80s curtains. Usually paired with leggings. Makes girls look very frumpy and they're unflattering.

    I know it's fitted,. There's a slight pull on the shoulders imo, possibly due to the layers underneath. If you're layering like that then a size up would look better. Not that I'm going to lose sleep about it or anything :-)

    Puffa Jackets. They seem to be a wardrobe staple every year but all I see are people walking around like lagged hot water cylinders on legs.

    Special hatred for the ankle length ones.

    I'm a practicality over style person most of the time and I know they are lovely and warm, but I draw the line at wearing those!

    I think you mean puffer jackets - like the down filled ones.

    Puffa jackets are actually pretty classic and always look good if you ask me.

    I agree. I doubt he'd be able to cross his arms with tension or by the looks of it, close it easily. Not sure why but when trying on jackets I always think if I happened to be suddenly savaged by a pack of badgers, could I fight back or would the jacket imprison me and become my tomb.
