Clothes that make you cringe

PaddyBomb

When 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

Uggs are so manky they should be illegal. College girsl etc are only under the impression they're cool because they've gotten so used to seeing everyone else wearing them about the place and the impression of hideousness has worn off. They couldn't be more unflattering, unoriginal or imature looking. I don't think I'll ever look at someone wearing uggs and not instantly think oh christ!...

I'm also not fond of these patterned leggings I've started to notice about the place. People are going to wake up in a few years with serious regret.

I agree that in a while we'll be gagging when we see patterned stockings/tights but at the moment I'm still enjoying most of them (though not all). Over in the B&C forum we've been talking about screen printing your own pattern onto stockings. Now THAT sounds like fun.

Oh sweet christ :eek: To actually wear like??

My sis-in-law has been trying to get me into lace! I just dont like it, Im entitled to my opinion but I did it last night just for her and hated it!!

I cant imagine wearing leggings with my own pattern :eek:

Just think of the giggles. I could have goats running up and down the seam of your stockings.

Warning: many things that sound "fun" are not good ideas.

Spotted on way to work this morn, Girl wearing leggings that were quite thin in fabric and you could see the cheeks of her ass- omg:eek:you kinda need to wear a longish tee shirt with these leggings and always use a full length mirror before you leave the house...also agree with the uggs, ugh

OldGoat

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.

Jennyfer

Tracksuit bottoms, with a pair of shoes. And even worse shoes with high heels. Disgraceful :eek:

Sapsorrow

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!

It really pains me to see girls wearing uggs and shorts.
Surely it's warm enough to go without uggs?!
Or surely it's too cold for shorts?!

+1,000,000,000,000,000! Every single spanner I see undressed like this - I have a compulsion to kick in the rear.

I also hate the blond big/back brushed hair(?). I don't know what you call it, but it appears to be a uniform for teens. To be seen with ugg boots around dundrum shopping centre. (I'm a little hesitant slating this on younger teens as they don't know any better - but older teens aren't exempt)

Wow look at that pattern go! Anyone else here go to college and have to put up with 70000 odd girls wearing exactly this everyday?

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!

sapsorrow - there are always trends in college - it was henri lloyd jackets, hockey bags and dubes when I was there. The uniform changes every so often, but there's always a pattern.

Personally - stonewashed denim and uggs (not for how they look, but for how they sound!!!)

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?

Sapsorrow

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?

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???

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 ridiculous

bad news, they meant jeggings (jean-leggings). They look ridiculous.

...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!

Ah I wouldn't take offence, thankfully I dress for myself and what I like !!

Ill fitted clothes are terrible. Why would anyone wear something that is so tight/short that rolls hang out / show boney bits / display stretch marks etc?

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.

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.

Balmed Out

no man should ever wear skinny jeans. Its wrong. Very very wrong

First, I hate leggings, jeggings, treggings or any other trouser substitute that it worn without a top long enough to cover the ass! LEGGINGS ARE NOT PANTS! I don't want to see peoples underwear or cellulite in great detail thanks! It amazes me that people can make such an effort with hair, make-up, footwear, accessories and then forget to wear trousers!

I don't know if any of you have ever been to a modified car show but the attire of many girls there never fails to make me cringe! They seem to feel the need to shed all their clothes in the name of "modelling", it's really weird! :eek: They wear crop tops, skirts like you wear to a teenage disco when you are 14 and LEG WARMERS. I kid you not.

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!

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.

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!

If we're going down that road: Fake tan.

FFS why do poeple think orange & dirty looking is better than white?
The mind boggles.
