Unattractive Clothing

    Every now and then do you see someone wearing something so unflattering you wonder to yourself, what could possess them to wear something so ugly?

    I'll get the ball rolling. My pet hate has to be those sleeveless bomber jacket things. I see plenty of vets, carpenters wearing them because they are great for rough work and keep you warm on the colder days.

    But I know at least two women who wear these vests casually, on warm, sunny days. I met one girl in town recently wearing one. Now she would be a 7 or 8 on the hot scale but when I see these vests on women I struggle to see the attractive side to them at all.

    So AH, what clothing items can you not stand?

    I dunno about unattractive clothing, but the best piece of clothing ever invented for women is leggings.

    Maybe it's my age showing, but I just cannot for the life of me understand lads who wear their trousers below their arse cheeks, showing us their boxers. Of all the things I've seen people wear over the years, this has to be one of the worst. Oh, and on women, those Aladdin-type loose trousers are shocking.

    Soccer/GAA jerseys.
    Fine on match day, otherwise leave them at home.

    Crocs. Why? Just why?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,018 ✭✭✭Badgermonkey


    Girly trackie bottoms with something written across the arse.

    Almost always accompanied by make-up seemingly applied with a trowel.

    If men want to know what not to wear just look at Jeremy Clarkson.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,856 ✭✭✭ratmouse


    Leggings, particularly if they've become so worn they're almost sheer. Said item been worn with a short top that does not cover the bum area, esp if this region and the midriff above are bulging through.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,592 ✭✭✭VW 1


    Fellas in skinny jeans.

    Larger girls in either leggings or a short skirt.

    Just no.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,587 ✭✭✭Pace2008


    Jeans with running shoes like these, sweet mother of God.

    I've a mate who's 6'1 and about 10 stone, and has the skinnies bet on to him. He's a bit marmite, but a lot of girls think he's hot as **** and I personally think the look suits him.

    Tights and leggings can be the sexiest items of clothing and at the same time the vilest.

    Here's a tip: if you have gigantic legs don't wear anything tight or figure hugging.

    What if the arse is peachy?

    Tracksuits outside any sort of 'track' or pitch or sporting area, or when clearly NOT exercising. They are just awful.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,239 ✭✭✭✭WindSock


    Those horrible backpacker sandals. eugh.
    Tracksuits, particularly tucked into socks
    Badly fitting jeans
    Greasy gelled fringe mashed onto the forehead.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,033 ✭✭✭✭Richard Hillman


    Shell suits

    That should come under crimes against humanity.

    3/4 length leggings?! Fatties always wear them to show off their kankles :confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:

    In fairness, tracksuits are hardly comfortable for training or running in are they!

    Or that one with the fringe mashed to the forhead and the back spiked up, never seen anything so ridiculous and gay looking in my life

    this is a bomber jacket!

    your link is a gilet :confused::confused:

    remind me how you think these are similar apart from the fact they are worn on the top half of your body. :confused:

    Ugg boots. I know the majority of people seem to love them and they're "comfortable" :rolleyes:, but personally I'd rather chop my legs off than wear them.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 309 ✭✭Tim the Enchanter


    Polo shirts with collars turned up!! WTF it doesn't make you look posh/cool. Just makes you look like a d*ck.

    +1. Also, it makes you look like a cretin.
