Worst of the current "fashion statements" (sandals, pants, men)

[Mooseketeer]

I personally have a loathing of Ugg Boots and the droopy pants /bling style but as unattractive as I find it it really is up to people to wear what they want.

I like understated classic clothes so anything showy is not something I find very appealing. But as long as nobody forces me to wear it who cares ?

I agree....all the men I know who wear skinny jeans are straight. I've never associated it with being gay, and the trend did not start in gay culture.
The original skinny jean look started decades ago. Male rock musicians used to always favor tight jeans.
It's still more of a hipster / scenester look than a gay one. It came back into style as a backlash to the mainstream hip hop, baggy clothes look that had taken over.

All the guys I know who wear skinny jeans are skinny (duh) 20-something- hipsters who roll fixed gears (bicycles). Many of them are hott.

Never thought to ask them about their sexual orientation though, because I would look like a dirty old lady.

The definition.

I think anything "Juicy" is appalling and beyond tacky, but each to their own. Pink or lime stretch velour on a "wide load" is pretty far from my personal idea of appropriate. However, it's worrisome to see a child dressed up in adult fashions and I do wonder if those parents have given any thought to the attention it draws, possibly from dangerous individuals.
My sister-in-law, bless her, is in her late 50's and still wears green corduroy trousers embroidered with pink whales, and private-school type outfits. Her fashion sense was formed in 1964 and isn't likely to change. I am undecided what's worse, middle-aged women with bare midriffs, hip-slung jeans and a pair of teetering heels, overweight women in shorts and sloppy men's t-shirts, or teens dressed like hookers. Mirrors are a great investment but overall, there's no accounting for taste. Admittedly, I've been known to go grocery shopping in flip-flops. It takes all sorts to make the world go round.

gals over 25 doing the pink skulls and bows thing... is that "affliction"?

As a guy, I don't mind the way skinny jeans look on me, but then again, I do enjoy being able to breathe. That, and the amount of crap I have in my pockets at any given time does not jive with the amount of pocket space that skinny jeans allow.

As for the topic...um...there are way too many things to list, on both genders. However, earlier someone mentioned those sweat pants with words like Princess, Angel, *****, etc, printed on the butt. As someone who ends up visiting the Jersey shore at least once every summer, my disdain for those has no bounds.

My 6 yr old son was given a pair of skinny jeans by his aunt and they are still in the closet in a bag. I dont care how "in-style" they are, he will not be wearing any. She told me I could exchange them at the H&M where she bought them.

One thing i'm seeing more of.... Stretch pants... PLEASE TELL PEOPLE... These don't look good on ANYONE! Especially if your 50 lbs overweight and all you eat is lard!

Lettering on the butt.. no thats not cute... Especially with the flab.. come on.. skinny chicks also have flabby butts... not cute!

Oh one thing I see A LOT OF... TIGHT ankle tapered jeans, skin tight knit shirt and 5 inch stelletos - barely any makeup... Ok for going out at night to party if you have the figure (btw, i can't wear this) but not for shopping/strolling/ etc... Looks like you got lost and need directions to the red light district.

But to each their own .. I won't comment on cuts of clothing because we are ALL different shapes... I just pray they don't get rid of the boot cut natural/low waist pants... (i have no muffin top but I LIFT weights. and am built)
Emo look - enough said..

I'm happy to say I rarely if ever see some of stuff you guys are talking about - in fact in a few cases I'm not even sure I KNOW what you're talking about. And suspect that is also a good thing.
