Trends You Are Sick Of #2

[MulletProof]

This isn't so much a trend as my ultimate pet peeve, and something that is all too prevalent in California. Flip-flops with everything! Its even more heinous on people that look like they otherwise made an attempt to dress themselves. Why would you stop at your feet.

I'd rather see you wearing a trash bag with a fabulous pair of heels than some dingy floppy rubber things on your feet.

I hear you, I was in downtown San Diego on monday and it was freezing cold and there was this girl wearing mini shorts, flip-flops and some university sweatshirt, it's just dumb and effortless in the most literal sense.. surely putting a pair of jeans and flats on can't be such a complex task.
The funniest part is that this girl was taking the same overnight flight to NYC as my sister.. I hope she brought some pants on her carry-on otherwise stepping off the airplane in -0 New York must've been quite uncomfortable.

Also see these on every 2nd person, sorry but it doesn't make you unique

Shudder.

They are quite popular here too.And they look bad.Maybe I say it cause I've seen them more than 100000 times but I find them really annoying right now.But it's something typical here - the biggest trend is to find a 'trend' and stick to it forever...

Fluorescent colors, Ed Hardy-like motives (oldschool hearts, flowers etc) and if i think about it I have to say that I don't even like real Ed Hardy clothing

In the city of Valencia, Spain, the colour purple...its been from trendy to find unstoppable copy cats... I mean that ain't a trend but a color invasion... seriously... I was the other day round downtown and then the underground and it was sooo invasive...

I can't stand:

* Ultra-short dresses or skirts. I see this mostly on young Hollywood starlets but sometimes in real life, too. Basically any dress or skirt that just barely covers the crotch and butt and makes you wonder how the wearer can possibly sit down.

* Along those same lines, I don't like short-shorts, especially the kind sold at Abercrombie, etc., to 14-year-olds. Shorts should cover significantly more than a pair of underwear, in my opinion, and a looser mid-thigh style is cooler and infinitely more flattering.

* Bootcut jeans plus a long n' pointy high heel (usually repurposed black plain office heels) for a night out. This look is very 2000-2001. Why am I still seeing it everywhere?

* Top knots, since they look idiotic.

* Long, boxy boyfriend blazers. As much as I adore Dorothy from Golden Girls, I don't want to dress like her. Most women look so much better in a fitted blazer with a nipped-in waist.

Fake tan! Summer is here but it has been too cold for the beach most days so everybody is going nuts with the orange spray

Pop-up stores, 'retro,' platform shoes -- enough already! Looking back at 2009, it's time to say goodbye to some well-worn trends.

crocs are the worst thing ever invented....WHY?!

 

[Tondo]

wearing more rings than is practical, enormous black leather platform boots with too much going on, studs, motorcycle, vintage made easy, and the formulaic "tall shoes, tight black jeans, and a big weird coat" uniform. boring.

I get a kick out of comparing this thread to the "Trends We Love" thread.

Agree, Crocs look friggin terrible. The ones with "fur" (or what is it supposed to be) make me laugh

I was just about to write the above into the "trends we love thread"

You know what they always say - one man's junk is another man's treasure!

 

[.:Ness:.]

A trend I'm sick of is Wayfarers. Get original people, soo boring. A person might even seem to have a cool sense of style, but the minute those Ray Ban's come on it's just right back to "copycat style", like they printed out a "Guidelines on how to dress for hipster try hards" and went down the list, ruins the whole outfit. In my opinion.

I agree! I don't see why everyone thinks it's beautiful to look orange. Also:

*Fake-looking fur. If you're going to wear fur, whether it's fake or real, at least make it look real! I've even seen a lot of girls wearing real fur on their boots that look fake and disgusting.
*Leggings as pants. It's my firm opinion that if someone is to wear a pair of leggings, at least wear a shirt long enough to cover
*Uggs. They're ugg-ly. I'm sorry---just had to point that out. Um...they're really weirdly shaped and look like animal feet! What's next? Hooves?

I was just contrasting and comparing some of these things to the loved trends myself! Small world!

 

[IAmLordZen]

Fake tans, crocs that look so hideous even if demi-gods like Sigrid Agren or Mathias Lauridsen wore them, ripped leggings that are too tight they show the outline of a woman's vulva -- which is interesting to look at only if the woman in question is unbelievably hot (sorry sorry, I know). But I'd wish they'd disappear..

 

[Tondo]

ladder-torn jeans. though it's part of that "oh-so-cool i don't care" look, jeans don't tear like that accidentally. not unlike the whole idea of urban outfitters. "let's take vintage clothing, mass produce it, and jack up the price." so ironic.

 

[savileislove]

Tights as pants. Its ridiculous & gross. Its already been mentioned, but it needs to be again.

 

[MACsarah]

Beanies. I don't get it. Its not even cold where I live, and everyone is wearing one. Also, it makes their heads look bigger

 

[TianSoFine]

^^^And it makes a lot of people's heads look egg-shaped.
