    I secretly love Bedazzled jeans in all of their shining tackiness.

    Hmmm... Where to begin? I live in NYC so I've seen pretty my every major no-no possible. But these are by far the most irritating:

    Girls wearing jeans that are entirely too small to where all the back fat is spilling over
    Men wearing open toe sandals with crusty, flaky feet
    Crocs anywhere outside the kitchen or hospital
    Girls who wear weave and have their tracks showing (tacky)
    Men walking up the stairs in front of me with their pants sagging so that their *kitten* is in my face (unpleasant)
    Using the word "conversate"
    Wearing shoes so tight that your baby toes are squeezing out the side
    Sheer legging with no shirt covering so ppl have the pleasure of seeing ur panties

    Matter of fact, if you KNOW your legs have a little extra love on them...PLEASE don't wear short shorts/skirts. It's tacky and nobody wants to see your jiggly bits. I'm not body shaming, just...please dress according to your body type. I have cellulite-y, stretch mark-y thighs and I wouldn't be caught dead in a pair of shorts for the world to see it. Y'know?

    Same goes for women with very large arm fat in tank tops. I'm talking wings. If you're in exercise clothes, sure, we know you're trying to lose it...but good god, if you think you're stylin it up, you're dead wrong.

    Look. Many, many people (including ME and YOU) have jiggly thighs AND arms. I am not so ashamed of mine that I will not wear the host of things that you say I should not. I refuse to live in shirts with sleeves, pants, and capris because I may offend the world with my less than perfect body. News flash: Most women have cellulite and stretch marks, and they don't go away with weight loss.

    I'm going to rock my shorts because my outer thighs and gams are ah-mazing. Could my inners use some work? Sure. Also, I have a bit of chub under my arms, but my shoulders are sculpted. Tanks tops all freakin summer!!!

    Build a bridge and get over it. You're only 22. You don't deserve to be stuck in pants forever.
    I live in the south. You don't have to preach at me.

    I'm talking REALLY mini stuff. Stuff that SHOULD NOT be worn for your body type. I'm not saying everyone should ever cover all that looks what isn't considered "perfect." Even some athletic women have cellulite they'll probably never get rid of. YOU KNOW what I'm talking about. If it looks like your butt is eating your shorts, COVER IT UP. There are some tasteful clothes out there without sacrificing yourself to be overheated...yeah, that means shorts/tops, too.

    Let's all put our butthurt away. Wear what you want, but I'd rather not embarrass myself by wearing what I mentioned.

    Lol! I'm not butthurt. I feel sorry for you that you feel so embarassed by your "extra love" that you won't wear shorts. And annoyed by you for putting your harsh judgement of yourself out there on other people.

    I can't help but think of the bedazzled jeans snagging fabrics or poking holes in the leather seats in my car.

    I think dudes that wear Ed Hardy tee shirts with bedazzled dragons instantly come across as douche canoes.

    I love leggings, but not without a long shirt/tunic/sweater dress to cover the *kitten*. LEGGINGS ARE NOT PANTS. If you're fully clothed and I can see the outline of your vagina, something is wrong.

    Twisted bra straps.

    Socks with sandals.

    Too tight underwear under a clingy dress.

    Boobs out at work. Save them for the bar. Or better yet, your husband.

    My thoughts *exactly*!

    Really low V necks on doods.
    Almost anything 'hipster' from Austin. ommggg its getting out of hand.

    For me. I don't brush my hair and I pretty much wear the same pair of short shorts every day. IDGAF. My husband says I look like a kid. Hahaha, so does my MIL and GMIL. Whooops, prolly doesn't help that I haven't plucked my eye brows in a good month or two. :X

    Uggs, are well, UGGLY!! Crocs are hideous, and skinny jeans are awful, because most people wear them skin tight, I always get my jeans a size or two big. I like leggings but I always either wear short shorts over them or a skirt or a really long shirt and I wear knee high converse with them or boots, never anything like flip flops or heels, that's just weird. Oh yeah, wearing pajamas around like it's nothing and wearing socks in sandals.

    The only thinks that make me flinch when I see them:

    Men with a deep V, I can't get my head around it :noway: If I see a deep V I''m expecting curves not chest hair

    Second, people who dress (or allow) their little girls to wear obscene tops...I admit I am judging here, but why would you let your seven year old daughter wear a top that says 'still a virgin'?

    I think dudes that wear Ed Hardy tee shirts with bedazzled dragons instantly come across as douche canoes.

    I have three pairs of those jeans and absolutely LOVE them. They make my *kitten* look fantastic and I always get compliments on them.

    Oh, and thanks for thinking my husband is a "douche canoe". While he doesn't wear Ed Hardy he has a closet full of button down shirts that are "bedazzled". They look awesome on him and gets compliments on how awesome they are all the time. I suppose the next thing that would be on your list are cuff links and bright colored shirts?

    It must be awesome to sit in your Ivory Tower and judge people you don't know based on their clothing. :flowerforyou:

    The jeans don't bother me so much as the butt-mannequins they have in the store to display them. Those just freak me out.

    Wow. The thread says Fashion Peeves, right? I'm just adding to the thread. Clearly, you took my statement personally, stretched what I said and applied it to your husband. (I said nothing about dress shirts) Whatever. If you don't like it, why don't you report me? You're probably already familiar with how to do that. I'm not a troll. I just don't like twinkly bedazzled dragons on overpriced tee-shirts at $80-120 a shirt. It's not my thing. But if having an opinion that differs from your own offends you... report me. I dare you.

    Anything that shows boobs or *kitten* in public (sagging pants, ill-fitting tops that allow boobage to spill out or threaten to spill out, shorts/skirts that would show hoo-ha if the person bends over or sits down, etc.).

    Pajamas and/or slippers in public. Get dressed before you go out for goodness sake.

    Dirty clothing, with stains. In public.

    Strapless tops with bras that aren't. If you can't find a strapless bra that fits you, don't wear tops that show the straps.

    Shorts that have the pockets hanging out the front.

    Any pants/shorts with writing across the butt. Especially for preteen/teen girls.

    I once saw a man at a flea market (talk about a treasure trove of fashion DON'Ts) who was shirtless and somehow had a pack of cigarrettes stuck to his bare chest. Disgusting and fascinating at the same time--HOW?!?!?!? Still have not figured that one out. I didn't have the courage to ask.

    I gotta tell ya, up here in *this* ivory tower, we have artisanal crackers and brie. Life is sweet.


    Edited to add: Your *kitten* probably still looks fantastic in jeans that aren't hideous. #JustSayin

    How could I forget this one?!?!?! THANK YOU! Although, I'm tempted to get a pair of sweatpants and screen print something ridiculous like "SHART" across the butt. That would be fun.

    Not a fan of leggings, but nude colored leggings take it to a whole new level. You have to do a double-take to make sure she is wearing clothes.

    Patterned bras underneath white shirts. Had a coworker try this at work. It was so distracting talking to her.

    And guys - please leave the muscle shirts at the gym (or maybe for lounging around the house or doing yard work). When I am out to dinner or shopping I don't want to see your hairy armpits, chest, or nipples!

    I cannot stand seeing people who try to dress way, way, way, way, way younger than their age. I understand that some people of a certain age have to shop in the Junior's department based on different factors, but I am speaking about the people who clearly shouldn't be shopping in the department.

    String bikinis and ironic tees on 40-year-old women.

    What is that? Don't they know they're old?

    Thank you!

    Dirty clothes (unless your camping/hiking)
    Pants below the *kitten*.
    *kitten* crack (seriously, get pants that fit you)
    Too matchy. (my mom always wants me to help her pick out clothes because she loves the way I dress...fact is, I don't match anything, I compliment. If there is blue in my shirt, I probably won't be wearing blue jewelry. She can't get past that.)

    I'm tall and not super skinny (though moving in the right direction). I have one maxi dress. But it's asymmetrical and has stripes that help with shape. The dresses that are all the same pattern just make me look like a big blob.

    Girls who complain they are cold/feet hurt, etc and are wearing 4" strappy heel and a mini skirt in the middle of a Minnesota winter. Dress appropriately.

    Young girls showing off their "cleavage"...or anyone dressing inappropriately... this just goes back to be appropriate for the situation.

    I HATE, HATE, HATE with a passion the ridiculously short-shorts that are being sold to our young girls these days. What's the deal with trying to sex up our young girls? Let kids be kids and teach them that modesty in the clothing department isn't always a bad thing. There is a time and a place for showing skin and honestly these days I think we give younger generations a very bad example for modesty. pre-teens shouldn't have a world that revolves around being sexy.


    Agree, why are the shorts so short? At my child's school the kid's skirt or short length has to be at least as long as long as the end of hand when held straight at their sides.

    Too short dresses. I worked at a coffee shop and every morning around 8, I had a female customer who wore really short dresses. The first time I thought she forgot pants. I had to find somewhere else to look when she walking up because I was uncomfortable. Does she really need to wear a dress that short in the morning?

    I have a dress that I consider a little short. It covers my butt, I still won't wear just the dress.I wear black leggings underneath. The leggings are not sheer, so you can't see anything.

    And really low-cut shirts. They should be really careful not to lean down if they are wearing a low-cut shirt. Like someone said earlier, there is a time and place for low-cut and really short dresses. 8 am in a coffee shop is not one of them.

    My school had that dress code. I hate seeing kids in really short skirts and shorts. Makes me wonder about the parents. My mom would have never bought that type of clothing for me.
