Loving the comments about capris! NEVER would I wear them with tennis shoes. But then, I wear sneakers only to the gym, never anywhere else. And I always press a crease into capris so they don't do that goofy looking flare out thing.
The capri thing is really just a sub-rule of the over-arching rule:
Do you want to look long, slim, and lean, or short, chunky, and choppy?
Short tops, short pants (capris), anything short, cuts you up into chunks. If you are already "chunky" and not-tall, you've now just made yourself even more chunky. Audrey Hepburn and Mary Tyler Moore in the 60s were slim women, and capris looked great on them. All the pics of capris that look great on women today--those are all slim women.
Maybe a tall-and-somewhat-chunky woman might be able to pull off a few short items, if her tallness and "longness" of the other pieces can offset the chunking. And maybe a short but thin woman can pull off short pieces, like capris, if all her pieces are in proportion and not wide. But with the combination of being shorter and wider, wearing something that is shorter and wide will make you look chunky, frumpy, and matronly. Add to that chunky sneakers and ankle socks and you've added about 20 lbs and 20 years to your appearance.
Every dang girl from 14 to 22 (and beyond) wears the exact. same. thing. Nike tempo running shorts and a baggy t shirt. Sure, they get creative with their footwear, daringly choosing between flip flops, uggs, and tevas but the extent to which this has become the uniform of every young woman I've seen drives me nuts.
Oh, here's a trend I just recently noticed (since I'm not young & cool I guess):
Teenagers--male and female--wearing high black socks with shorts. They are tall black athletic-type socks, usually with a white Nike symbol on them. To me, black socks with shorts always said "little old man" but this past summer, all these teens and 20-somethings were sporting this awful look. Not sure if it was local/regional or nation-wide.

Uggs
8-inch platform shoes (protip - Lady Gaga is a performer - not a cashier. Her shoes are part of her costume. Yours are not.)
Menolo Blahnik-type pointed foot-torture devices
Hair feathers
Piercings anywhere other than the earlobes
Butt-exposing pants
Pants that don't show off the cheeks, but only because you're wearing high-waisted boxers that puff out over the waistline of the pants.
thongs (not the shoes - the underwear)
breast implants for women who were already a C-cup naturally (no, they don't look real, and yes, they make you look like a porn actress)
false eyelashes
permanent eyebrow tattoos
cork-heeled platform shoes (they were ugly in the 70's - they're ugly now)
According to this thread, about 50% of what I do is considered 'unfashionable' and needs to go away
EVERYONE follows trends, even the woman wearing button ups and mom jeans with loafers and the man wearing a power suit.
Get over yourselves and have some fun with what you're wearing and worry less about what people think
Hahahaha! I was about to post the same damned thing.
I reckon I just don't give a crap. I don't wear Crocs, for instance, but I only tease one of my best friends about wearing them. I don't actually care if people wear them.
