I hate PONCHOS!

idontknowmyname

I think its time everyone stopped wearing goddamn ponchos cause its been a case of over kill!!!!!
I hate seeing all the people wearing them in town- especially the cheap ones. They just look tacky.
The nicest poncho i seen was one by John Rocha at Debenhams but i'd never buy them cause i hate being a sheep. It was so last season too, the caps or bolero's were towards the end of the season and aren't too bad.

I agree. They look especially bad on big-chested people - ponchos make them look like barrels!

Oh god, me too. Especially those tiny little ones that're mad out of thin hole-patterned wool- for gods sake people, they're meant to keep you WARM, not let drafts in! And then you see people with ponchos, tops, boots (tucked into jeans, of course) all in the same bloody colour, and they look like one of those barbies that come with customisable outfits. Ugh.

*adele*

argh ponchos!

crazy angel

and then theres the glittery ones...............omg dont get me started on the glittery ones!

*adele*

aaah glitter!

I also hate the way it was harder to find nice cardigans this year because so much of shops' knitwear sections was taken up with ponchos. Did anyone else notice this?

*adele*

yep i did

I could make a comment about Iraqi prisoners standing on boxes wearing ponchos, but meh. Why state the obvious?

PurpleFistMixer

The only ponchos are the ones you find in remote villages in South America, made from at least several llamas and of thick enough material that, if you so desired, you could thatch your house with it.
Any other kind of ponchos are just pretending.

But yeah, whatever is popular fashion at the time, probability will have me hating it.

My english teacher has one of those Purple it comes down to her knees, is a good centimetre thick, and is basically a carpet with a hole in it. It rocks, but thats because as you said tis a proper poncho, not a smegfilled craptehtitty crap one. </juvenille language>

the boleros and capes are nice though. I got a black wool one from GAP in NY with sparkly silver goin through it and i love the fact that i've seen no one else wearin it

I love when you get clothes like that.
This is totally off topic, but oh well. I got a pair of trousers from Miss Selfridge (which is unusual for me) a good while ago, and I've never, ever seen anyone else wearing them.

Back to ponchos... well, I stand by my previous point. And anyway, aren't ponchos hella illogical for this country? I mean, nobody is wearing them for warmth, and wouldn't there be all drafts as well? What is the point of wearing ponchos anyway? And I mean any kind, does anyone know what the practical original point of them is? (I realise this paragraph is an example of the worst everything ever, but damnit I wrote 12 and a half pages in an exam today I don't need english anymore)

*on some girls

*adele*

ah i was getting ready to hate you forever!but true they can look good on certain girls damn them

idontknowmyname

yeah they do look good on girls who can carry it off, not every tom dick and jacinta (sorry to any nice jacinta's out there), all the scangers wear them and make them look so cheap (opps they are cheap)

OLDYELLAR

oh my god thank god other people feel the same , i absoloutely detest ponchos , they are so bad on so many levels ! :rolleyes:

Shrimp

I uttlerly hate them with a passion.. does nothin for the girl, like makes them look really wide, cos there's no curves left, just big round thing. Like, for example, where a girls waist goes in like in the hour glass figure, it's non existant with a poncho..

This also, springs to mind the hatered which I enstow for girls (Mainly Knackers) who ware those dungarees and let the front flop down, they have them in like pastel yellow.. YUCK..

But on the other hand there are like a selec few, who can pull them off..

That used to be a rocker fashion until the damn skangers hijacked it... I shed a tear.

Shrimp

I hate it on anyone...

shivface

victoria beckham is to blame for hijacking the dungarees

Bottle_of_Smoke

this hi-jacking crap
can't blame Vicki looked well on her, and you *always* know the difference between a skanger and a rocker wearing dungarees

OLDYELLAR

You are such a sheep.

Shrimp

or lemming

Sangre

Shut up.

Think of that everytime you're about to post....then don't.

In fact, to remind you put this in your sig


Yes it took 5 seconds but you're not worth anymore.

Shrimp

I couldn't put that in my sig it's too big.

And btw, when I am writing my sig, it wont be visable, even if I preview my message first.

Sooooo, wont have any affect on my posting, ability or lack there of, depends on whos opinion it is.

Sangre

Knowing you you'll have posted in the thread several times already.

I like Ponchos. They look good imo.

I'm just going with recent trends.
Ponchos = hate
Trousers tucked into boots = hate
Boots that look like diseased slippers = hate
Trousers that end sharply above the ankle and are gathered inwards with elastic or whatever = hate

Rozabeez

I dunno, depends on the poncho really. you can get kind-of-nice ones, my sister is going through a shawl phase atm. Dungarees can look cool, as long as they arent hanging down and rolled up, what's the point then?

I have to agree! All of the above...I shudder at the mere thought of them. My school had a non-uniform day a little while ago and sooooo many girls were wearing jeans tucked into the Ugg boots. *I shudder* Everytime I hear the word Ugg, I think uggLY.

OLDYELLAR

Oh my god ugg boots are the worst!!!suped up wellies are even better than them yokes :rolleyes:

Tobias Greeshman

I have to agree, they are like slipper boots that old people wear in nursing homes. In time theyll become like ponchos hated a lot!. The snow boots ok, ugg boots ... God No

How The Fu$k did they get the name ugg? anyone know?

Mysteryfish

I explained this one. uggLY :-D

edibility

It's the name of the original designer, or something.

OLDYELLAR

there rotten anyway! :rolleyes:

Tobias Greeshman

I actually think Brittany Spears made them famous, I think she was one of the first celebs to wear them, some documentary about her last night on MTV.

Brittany you have no FU$King taste!

OLDYELLAR

britneys a tool , nuff said :rolleyes:

Sangre

Yes, a tool who is rich, famous, beautiful and has the ability to start a massive trend.

OLDYELLAR

i think shes ugly and an idiot in general
