Clothes that make you cringe

20-05-2010 7:26am#1When out and about, does anyone else check out what people around you are wearing? .... And then say how in the name of god did they look at themselves and think that looked good. Now I know everyone has different tastes and some people wouldn't like what I wear but this is where I get to say what I don't like on people
Ok first of all, I hate uggs on girls (sorry girls) but they are just rotten and I don't care how comfortable they are.
Maxi dresses on a night out. Come on girls, us lads want to see a bit of leg
Those lads t-shirts that say "if found return to the pub", cop onto yourselves!
But most of all, most of all... I hate seeing people wearing a nice top, a nice pair of jeans, and then you look at their feet they're wearing poxy scruffy jogging runners! Why oh why? And don't get me started on an office outfit with a skirt and tights and then jogging runners. Come on, the walk to the bus stop can't be that sore on your feet in your shoes

Appologies for dragging the thread off topic.
Meanwhile, back in the bad taste department...jeans around yer thighs rather then around your ass. The low slung, crotch between the knees, see my tighty whiteys look.

The very worst leggings I've seen (which is saying a lot) are the ones that have denim print on them to make them look like jeans, even with little back pokcets. They also tend to look on the transparent side. I mean even girls who are a size 6 look like they have big wobbly untoned butts in them! Does anyone know what I mean? Like these only with more detail:
Leggins just need to go away god dammit! THey were argueably the very worst thing from the 80s even considering perms and shouldpads I am still in shock that they're back!
I'm not very keen on patterned tights at all as I'm not sure I have the thighs for em but I am so into coloured tights with shoes in colours that really complinent them. Today I'm sporting forest green tights with red 1920s style t-bars and it feels soooo good! 0 -

Maxi dresses on a night out. Come on girls, us lads want to see a bit of leg
Woah now I just spotted this! I have to say from personal experience that anytime I've worn a full length dress out I have gotten loads of male attention! I think the opposite that men really appreciate the bit of class that goes with a full length dress. There's enough women out there every saturaday night with dresses bet up their *ahem* to put it nicely bums. A girl not trying to advertise her wares must be refreshing everynow and then!? This is coming from someone who only wears dresses and of all sorts too so I have a good point of reference as far as the male gaze and dresses goes! 0 -

Geez PaddyBomb, how dare we not take into consideration which bits of us a man would like to look at when choosing our outfits :rolleyes: I must be doing it wrong by wearing what I like and what suits me.
One of my pet peeves is jeggings, and it's getting even more annoying now that they're becoming popular because a lot of the (small number of) shops I can buy clothes from are replacing skinny/straightleg jeans with jeggings. They are truly awful, far far too clingy round the nether regions IMO. I had to explain what they were to my boyf the other day and all of a sudden he was like "there's a pair! And she's wearing the same thing! And that one! OMG they're EVERYWHERE!!!"
Have to agree with Sapsparrow about the UCD "uniform" -- Uggs (ratty, stained, disgusting Uggs); black tights/badly applied fake tan; cutoff denim skirt; massive oversized hoody ( A&F, natch); designer bag crammed with laptop, books, notepads, folders; hair like they've been dragged through a hedge backwards; and make-up like they're just in drag.
It's horrendous. What happened to being embarrassed to turn up places wearing the same outfit as someone else?0 -

Oh my god! That would seriously annoy me non stop! I hate the birds nest hair, like WTF are they thinking?!
I just cant stand tracksuits being worn any other time apart from if your exercising. Also the velour tracksuits in illuminous blue, pink, any colour!! They are just wrong. What is wrong with these people??? 0 -

At the risk of sounding really dim can someone enlighten me as to what jeggings are?
Are they the things I was talking about leggins with jean print on them?
I think you meant actual legging material with patterns stitched on dod you? The ones you were talking about are different, maybe they're a type of jegging but the ones I wear are like leggings that are made of jeans material, they're just really like skinny jeans, I love them, all the skinny jeans I've tried have a baggy arse and aren't tight enough on the bottom of my legs, I look ridiculous0 -

...that said - don't take offense, if you like them & feel comfortable in them to hell with what anyone else thinks. I have some classic clangers that I love & I KNOW they're god damn awful!

You obviously have never had to walk 20/30 minutes to work in heels - they take alot out of you, especially in the morning when you are tired and in a rush. AND you've got a bag and a coat on which makes you hotter and you sweat and by the time you get to work in your lovely outfit and heels you are a disaster.
Who cares what you look like getting to work, as long as you look good there.
I wear runners to work and have 4/5 pairs of heels in my bottom desk drawer. Best idea ever.0 -

What do you mean by that bit exactly?
Regarding stretch marks I have a good mate who had twins very young at it totalled her physically and it would be a total pain in the arse for her to try and cover up all her marks all the time in the sunny weather.
I have seen girls wear really low cut jeans and there hip bones are visible over the top. Not a good look!
Ok if the stretch marks are on arms they would be hard to hide in summer but why would anyone flaunt stretch marks in the tummy/hip/bust area? I'm not talking about how people dress when on sun holidays but in the normal Irish weather.0 -
In defence of Ugg boots, I wore mine all winter and while they may not be remotely fashion forward or flattering, when you have to be out to get a bus at half seven and it's freezing they are a great comfort, especially when you don't really care what you look like going to lectures!
Ah now in fairness I have a rake of boots that are cosy and comfy and totally waterproof (which I don't think uggs are) so thats not much of an excuse really
Also most girls who wear uggs look far from not giving a sh*t about their appearances.
Not really fashion related but I hate chicks who wear too much perfume, you should only be able to smell someones scent when you hug them and not when they're walking 10 metres ahead of you in gale force winds rotten!0 -

Why not wear a pair of comfortable flat shoes though?
"Who cares what you look like getting to work?"... Eh the 500 people you walk by in the morning on the street or see on the bus or see in the shop... At least the 20 people you work with see you looking good 0 -

Maxi dresses on a night out. Come on girls, us lads want to see a bit of leg
No offense but most girls don't get dressed for a night out then look in the mirror and say oh what if some random guy wants to sleaze on me?am i showing enough flesh? If a girl likes you enough you'll probably get to the flesh eventually but it would take longer with the ah sure i came out to see some flesh, get them off will ya?!?And don't get me started on an office outfit with a skirt and tights and then jogging runners. Come on, the walk to the bus stop can't be that sore on your feet in your shoes
I wear stilettos a lot and they need to be re heeled a lot! If i walked back and forth to the bus in them i would probably only get a week before i'd need to get them re heeled again if even. At a cost of about 12 euro per pair and being without them for 2-3 days and the small bit of comfort to my feet, i prefer the runners or flats when i'm not with anybody i want to impress.
Maybe you should walk the twenty mins to the bus and the twenty mins back and let us know how it wasn't that sore on your feet?:D0 -

My pet hate in the grooming department is (I don't think this is going to be a popular choice) overly straightened hair. I think it looks completely unnatural and too contrived. I think a natural, bouncy, healthy, head of hair is far more appealing.
Ooh I totally forgot about my detest for artificially straightended hair or 'the rachel' it's so generic. Anytime one of the girls comes to class without their hair straightened I'm like wow your hair looks great all volumous and feminine compared to usual. I also really don't get the blonde obsession I'm naturally blonde and I can't figure out why everyone wants it it's not nearly as much fun to play around with colour wise as other shades, on that note I think the bad bleach jobs young girls are prone to get looks awful too. Oh oh and overly plucked eyebrows so that you look really startled.

Tracksuits of the velour variety, with logo's/slogans across the bum...never in the history of clothing has an abomination of that magnitude been replicated.
Lol I'm suprised we forgot about these for so long! Ones that say juicy on them and it's like what exactly is juicy and then you realise you prob don't want to know I saw a toddler wearing ones that said sexy on them before with diamontes so so soooo wrong.
Oh I know one, what about those sweat pants (the really soft baggy grey ones) tucked into uggs, as if either item wasn't bad enough on it's own!
On that note PJ's worn during the day is disgraceful I don't care is skanky crabby pants Hilton or whoever does it, I was in my local post office the last day in the village (which only has a post office, church and 1 pub thats all!) at half three in the afternoon and some manky cow came in with her kids wearing pjs, slippers and her hair all over the place! It's such a bad example for her children and it shoes no respect for people in the community like the elderly who would be offended by it.0 -
