I completely agree with all of these. here's some more of my personal peeves - not really any different from everyone else's, but they are:

- fur gilets
- clunky boots of all variations (uggs, mukluks, yeti, etc)
- ponchos, especially paired with aforementioned clunky boots
- fake tans and bottle blonde hair
- poorly done ladylike...all plastic pearls, polka dots and cheap polyester tweed

Except for ponchos, you've bassically mentioned trends of 2003, no?

That is what I've gathered from reading this thread. Sad indeed, no doubt.

paris hilton is, by far, the worst trend of the past 2 years.

uggs were 2003...the masses caught on this year after seeing their favourite celebs wear them last year. likewise juicy, the ironic trucker cap, and lacoste also were past their prime in '03...

i think this years annoying trend has definatly been the poncho. unless you are very very small you shouldn't wear one...they make people look gigantic. so not flattering.

i also dislike how in flats have become. its not so much annoying as also unflattering, most people just look stumpy in them....same with boho chic....not flattering on most people.

the ruffle butt skirts i understand...they usually have elastic waists and do manage to be flattering on a lot of people b/c hising bulges that shouldn't be there. pants tucked into boots also serve a function in places where its actually cold and snowy...it helps keep you warmer and keeps your the bottoms of your pants from getting soiled. that being said, there is no excuse to wear them in california.

the ladylike thing also annoyed me. i actually loved the look but 16 year olds wearing tweed ensambles from abercrombie & fitch with fake pearls from claires just look rediculous. people should know to dress their age.

"people carrying fake designer bags is a widespread epidemic."
This seriously irritates the hell out of me, and yeah the ugg boots I'm glad to see they have gone.

It's got to be the Mullets and the Von dutch crap! But, where I live there are still guys who look like that!

i saw a girl at saks the other day...couldn't have been more than 5-6...had juicy pants on that said, juicy on the butt. who would buy their child something like that?!

 

[POTC_ROXS]

Ponchos...they're finally gone!

 

[morgan38]

nothing will ever beat out fake orange tans for the tackiest trend

...well maybe when children wear sweatpants with "juicy" and "sexy" written on their butts

Polos. And two polos, one on top of the other. And "popping" the collars. Lacoste are the worst.

Although I agree the velour tracksuits got old mighty fast... ditto the Uggs...

@ the "popping" That is so funny and so true.

Ponchos...they're finally gone!
