My granddaughter is a bit on the heavy side and pretty busty. She got married in a strapless off the rack dress that she didn’t get altered. My main memory of the wedding is her hiking up the top of the dress every two minutes.

My list is long LOL but this is the one of the major ones

When someone wears shoes that are too small on them.

Want to ruin the look of a nice outfit? Wear a pair of opened toes shoes where your toes are hanging over the front end of the shoe. Or, your foot is too wide for the shoe and squeezing through the straps.

It just isn't a good look. Your toes should sit back and be 1/4" back from the front of the shoe, minimum.

I suspect that this is, in many cases, a vanity issue where someone doesn't want to have to get the larger size.

This also applies to clothing. Wearing clothing that is too tight and too small for you isnt attractive no matter what your size.

How would you not be able to just slip on a pair of pants though unless it is a medical emergency where you can't move/walk? Getting to kids to school? You still get dressed. This only became more common in like the past 10 years or so when the "it's cool to look like you rolled out of bed, be extremely overweight, with your hair undone and makeup all over your face." trend lol. Not in my house..

Biggest fashion pet peeve = an abomination seen mostly in the state of Alaska known as Xtra tuffs that are usually worn for the sole purpose of trying to impress other patrons of bars in Anchorage with how "Alaskan" you are by wearing a pair of commerial fishing boots. Mostly worn by those who've been in the state for less than five years and who work in offices in Anchorage, Xtra tuffs don't even make the best fishing boots; deck footwear needs to be able to mold to the individual foot the way leather Romeos do.

Clothing that is too tight, and otherwise exaggerates the persons flaws, rather than hides them.

Saw a young lady walking downtown yesterday. She had on a loose top with 3 wide horizontal stripes. As she walked it was billowing out and seriously, as I drove up I thought it was a clown walking down the street. Just awful.

Well it sounds like they only have two bad options. I've seen bellies so protruded there is no way they could wear the pants around that without them falling down when they moved too much, and if they fell they would fall all the way down. It's better if they can cinch the waist band below the bulge.

Mine is when women wear jeans and a pullover top or t-shirt and have the front of this shirt slightly tucked in to their waistband. They mean it, I think, to look casual but it looks like they didn't look in the mirror after using the bathroom.
