I'm fucking dumb, that's why I dress like a lousy faggot.

In this thread, we are talking about fashion. Or better: Misuse of fashion and pseudo-trends. Feel free to bring up new "trends" you have discovered.

I will start the discussion with faggots who turn up their shirt collars:

(note how he's even wearing a pink polo http://i.somethingawful.com/forumsys...emot-bravo.gif)

In very recent years, however, in a recurring attempt to emulate what middle class hypermaterialism perceives as "looking rich," people otherwise disinclined from upturning the collars of their tennis shirts have begun to do so again, for the same reasons as in the 1980s. Popular music and the entertainment media have been infused with celebrities perceived as "cool" by young people wearing the collars of their shirts and jackets upturned.

Yeah lol whatever. I think it looks fucking stupid and people like this fucking retard should go drink some shampoo.

YouTube Video

Flip-flops.

I swear. It's 40 fucking degrees Fahrenheit in the winter, why the hell are you still wearing them in public? I honestly hate how people constantly think they work well with just about everything.

No one wants to see your $120 designer flip-flops and your nasty feet.

Brady, that video makes fox news look fair and balanced. :(

Heh... You'd like my latest movie. The rival of the main characters is a pink popped-collared shirt-wearing asshole.

For my money, the popped collar is by far the worst in latest trends, although my hate-meter has a soft spot for overly-long t-shirts that are apparently cool. I just don't get any of this shit.

Come to Texas some time.
Also I don't know where you've been shopping for your solid gold sandals, but I could use some of whatever you're smoking.

Brady--I couldn't stop laughing at that video.

KISS hasn't been considered Heavy Metal for years now. Plus, since when is Tidus' necklace from FFX a satanic symbol? I seriously have tears in my eyes from laughing so hard.

But, my pet peeve?

People whose pants are so big that the waist hangs down around their hips. I don't want to see that shit. Buy a belt--or pants that fit.

Lately in winnipeg here, Foam Garden Clogs have become very popular to wear. I don't understand because they are ugly as hell. But so many girls, and now even some of the more faggotish guys are wearing them. Here, I'll see if I can drudge up some pics.

Imagine those in every concievable colour. Apparently wearing them makes it feel like you are walking on clouds (to quote a friend of mine). Personally I think they just look like shit.

I haaate those shoes. They are really big down here, too; you can find them in almost any store (even some grocery stores) in every conceivable color. They now have little designer pins that you can stick in the holes, too. Personalized, huzzah!

I haven't actually worn a pair, so I can't vouch for their level of comfort, but I think that they are truly ugly (no offense to any of you who have them).

Uh all kinds of people have been wearing those stupid ass crocs down here {southeast US} for a long time. I am pretty sure my not-faggish-at-all brother has a pair or two of them.

For me, the whole oversized sunglasses thing has got to go.

I guess for a lot of the people who wear these, it is more as a safety precaution against getting rogue semen shot in their eyes than as a fashion statement though?

Speaking of horrible shoes, I hate with EVERY FIBER OF MY BEING the shoes called 'Heelys', and the kids that wear them.

http://z.about.com/d/kidsfashion/1/5...leysBliss2.jpg

I'll be minding my own business, browsing the literature section of Borders or something, when this fuckin kid comes barrel-assing down the aisle riding on this 'roller blade' in the back of his fucking shoe. I'm sorry. NO. And the parents dont do anything about it, either. It's bad enough that they're ugly, huge shoes, but that they make the kid even more obnoxious? Ugh.

Holy shit, that's the coolest thing ever. You can be like motherfuckin' Sonic.

what about places where it's 85 in the winter? Is it socially acceptable then? What about when you're a lazy college student?

Yea do you know that they make those shoes now for young adults? I was working as I see my co-worker skating in those things, and he's like 19 or something, but he thinks he's so 'i'm cool durrrrr lolozzzzz!" The thing is, these are shoes for children, not 19 yrd people. Maybe i'm just cynical.

That's my number one pet peeve right there. QFT.

The other fashion thing I can't stand are these kinds of hats:
http://www.craftzine.com/blog/satnighthat_2.jpg
If anyone is going to wear these stupid things, it should only be golfers.

Whenever I see a girl wearing oversized sunglasses, I always think;

"Man, she has got to be butt-fucking ugly."

And it's always true. Your picture just proved my point.

I've always wanted to trip a child wearing them. Just to prove how dangerous that crap is. It's also shit like Heelys that promote laziness in kids. <_<

As for the whole flip-flop thing, It's acceptable in some points (like warm winters and laziness), but I just don't get people who wear them all the damn time. I have a friend who wears flip-flops in any kind of weather. She even wears them in huge rainstorms. <_<

I don't know if anyone remembers, but I started a topic months back bashing flip flops. I hate them too. It is like they think they are too cool to dress up. I don't like dressing up myself, because dressing down is much more comfortable, but I'm certainly not insecure to the point that I won't ever do it. Some situations simply call for it, and it is nice to dress up once in a while. I'm talking about in the winter, not summer for the flip flops btw.

and no, they are NOT that comfortable. At least IMO.

Honestly, the only styles that really bother me are styles done just because the people want to seem superior or above society or to be someone they are not. If people wear something because they truly deep down like it, then more power to them. I have no problem with someone who wears what they want. But when people pop their collars and stuff they are CLEARLY trying to act like wigger badasses and they are doing it for NO other reason than that.

So basically I hate all styles where people do it to try to send a statement to someone else and not themselves.

I've got an ultra comfortable pair of Columbia sandals (ones with a couple of sets of straps and whatnot) that I love to wear, though they do tend to make my feet stink. Almost whenever it rains during the summer I wear them, though, because then I'm not walking around with soggy socks/shoes all day; instead my feet will dry off in about 15 minutes.

Flip flops are too cool to dress up? That makes no sense.

LOL. Why do people HATE flip flops? Isn't 'hate' a bit of a strong word for something so stupid? If that is the case, then its possible there is a personal problem and probably some kind of psychological disorder that follows.

I'd prefer being barefeet when walking around. For that matter, why can't we all just be nekkid?

At least they got the part about looking like homosexuals right. ;)

Stop with the nonsense and taking the word "hate" too seriously. You knew exactly what I meant. When people say hate they don't really mean HATE. You knew that though, but for some reason acted like you didn't to make some asinine point.

I hate tight girly pants that are passed off as men's pants and any pair of jeans that look like they have piss stains or tears in them.

Overtly baggy cargo shorts or pants. I don't know when that sort of clothing style became more prevalent, but they seem to deliberately make them look flimsy and appear like they were crushed in every moment. Whatever happened to just having durable pants with extra pockets?

Crocs look absolutely ridiculous, but they are surprisingly comfortable, even though I wouldn't want to be caught dead in them. Flipflops are the best thing ever, although I really hate sandals for some reason (maybe because so many people think that it's ok to wear them with socks which just looks bloody awful). They are just perfect for a hot day,easy to kick aside when you sit down, and easy to walk around in all day. The last summer has been just ridiculous, 38 C, and I would have died if I couldn't wear light things like flipflops.

Haha, socks and sandals. So German.

I have been seeing these everywhere as well. I always see 3 basic colors for them... Hot Pink, Mango Orange and some blinding color of green. They look ugly as fuck.

I personally don't understand alot of fashion. I had a male co-worker that wore a pair of Prada, uni-sex glasses. I'm sorry but anything that is Uni-sex or Metro just screams fag in hiding. He paid $150+ for the damn glasses and ended up losing them 3 weeks later.

For that money, could've bought myself at least 3 pairs of Tripp pants.

http://www.punkutopia.com/Merchant2/...RENBONDRED.jpg

I can't understand these pants neither. A pair of pants that a made to be butt huggers. On female it's fine by me but I see tons of these Blink 182 wanna be punkers wearing these shit and I can't phantom why the fuck they wear that.

http://imgred.com/http://www.reeling...heoperapic.jpg

Now I usually don't do stuff like this, but come on. =P

Emmy Rossum is gorgeous, for the record.

But as for the pants, when you have a squatter's ass, it's hard to find pants that fit right.

I totally agree with the giant sunglasses. I also hate the guys who show at parties or the gym or anywhere really in wife beaters or something similar. The guys who have anything to show off are never the ones to do this.

There are a few guys who come to work like that. I hate that shit.

I don't know why people have so much flip-flop hate. $5 gets me a comfy pair that I can wear 3 seasons out of 4.

Crocs, as much as I fucking loathe the way they look, are really comfortable - especially practical for camping.

Now, on to more annoying trends:

http://www.buychinawholesale.co.uk/i...B40047.gif.jpg
Ugly-ass, over-priced designed handbags.

It's a fucking bag. You don't need to pay $1,000+ for a goddamned satchel to put your shit in, ladies. I know you want it to look pretty and be practical, but that shit is SO not worth your money.

ADDITIONALLY!
http://bluebuddies.com/gallery/Smurf..._Smurfette.jpg
Mini-skirts that aren't actually mini-skirts, but are underpants without a crotch and have a frill.

I really can't stand it when I see little girls wearing this shit.

Speaking of little kids, whats up with the trend where girls in their late teens wear extremely babyish clothing? I saw some display in the mall a few weeks ago where all the clothes were tailored for over-grown babies. I wish I remembered the store.

Man, you know what I hate? Punk kids who wear ridiculous shit and go out to shows.

http://a349.ac-images.myspacecdn.com...f2d1a6fe84.jpg

O WAIT.

Seriously, Furby. You wear fucking raver gear and you want to talk fashion? Christ.

O SNAP MOTHERFUCKER

I think Crocs are pretty great. When society gets to the point where people fully embrace hideous clothing for purely pragmatic reasons, we've dropped a ton of bullshit. (and gained like, 50 pounds :()

The bug eye shades do perturb me. I knew a gal when I was in Junior year of College, and she always wore a pair. I never noticed them on anyone before but CHRIST do they look weird.

And yes, she was pretty ugly. I figured she was gonna do some welding or fly a crop-duster whenever I saw her in those. Oh well~

HEELYS. OMFG. I had NO FUCKING CLUE they existed until I went out to some place with my parents during one of my visits. I saw a kid scooting along real fast without moving his legs. I hit my pop on the arm and pointed at it. Both of us seemed curious as to what the hell it was. Of course, my ma, the teacher, said to us "what? You've never seen those before?"

Weird, pointless shit. But hey, every generation has its gimmicks. Air Jordans, light-up shoes (safety++?), heelys...

Damn, you got me there. Yes, I'm one of those people that wear wife beaters out in the open when I got nothing to show but I only do it when I'm actually dying from the heat. (as you can tell from the fact that I'm sweating my ass off)

And as for raver gear.. Only at raves. But like I already stated, I don't know shit about fashion.. I wear what's cheap and comfortable. I have never paid over $30 for any one piece of gear.

I fucking HATE Heelys. Like someone else said earlier, I want to trip every one of those bastard kids I see rolling down the aisles in the store, nearly smacking into other people. If you want to roll around like that, get some fucking roller skates. OH, BUT WAIT. The store managers won't let you roller skate in the store. Because it's a goddamn safety hazard. Maybe you should just walk around like everyone else.

On a side note...

I found that to be quite hilarious. See what happens when you faggots walk around with your Tidus necklaces and your Cloud rings and your Naruto headbands? You get put on the news and told you dress like a queer.

Fucking awesome post.

While I have no contact with people who pop their collars, the style continues to remind me of James Dean or, to a lesser degree, Robert Mitchum in all those filmnoir movies. Both those guys are worth emulation but its sad to see that kids are doing it for status and not because they're actually cool.

(I use to pop my collar when it was 1986, my mom hated it and I never knew why)

Someone earlier mentioned the Jackie O Sunglasses, which are indeed terrible. I'm sure they're great if you're hungover or need to hide the fact that you have walleye, but otherwise, ditch them.

And while related and yet not related - I really hate tattoos. I don't understand the rising trend with them and piercings. Much like popped collars, they use to actually have some signifigance instead of simply publically masturbating that you like stupid, obnoxious shit like spiders, ahnks, tribal designs or an asian language you don't read.

The day I get a tattoo is the day that I kill a whale with a harpoon. And none of that harpoon gun shit - I'm talking throwing the harpoon into the whale.

What are you talking about? When someone says they hate something it isn't because they DON'T hate something. Thats needlessly convoluted and besides that, NOT TRUE. People hate a great and many things and aren't afraid to say so. If you don't HATE something then why say it?

Say what you mean. Its easy to be mistaken in this setting.

You implied that the only reason people wear flip flops is because they are too cool to dress up... That simply isn't a very good viewpoint and doesn't take any other reason for wearing them into account. Its just a bit narrow is all.

I don't wear flipflops so don't think I took anything you said too close to heart. ;) I honestly hope you have done the same.

Heelys, crocs and such have already been mentioned whic I dislike as well.

I'm actually puzzled by Bapes, or at least I think that's what they're called. Guys with all the oversized clothing and baggy pants and whatnot seem to wear these sweater thingies with the baby ape faces strewn all across and I am sort of puzzled as to why these are popular. It's actually sort of cute.

You mean those things that are suppose to be short but look more like something that a clown would wear? If we're thinking the samething that I know what you mean. I mean, like my pants baggy but there is a point where there is too baggy. If someone can see my ass, that's too baggy.

Look, it's all about PLUR, brother. http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y16.../emot-c00l.gif

My beef with fashion isn't so much with an article of clothing so much as it is with a "fashionable gesture". I fucking HATE HATE HATE (yes, DragoonKain, just so there's no misunderstandings about "what kind of hate" I'm talking about: I mean the kind of primal I-want-to-rape-your-family-for-shitting-you-into-the-world hate) this photo pose:

http://a356.ac-images.myspacecdn.com...2cc6667e83.jpg

Bitches who pose like this in pictures need to be executed on sight. If you're a guy posing like this in pictures, chances are you've already been ridiculed and ostracized by your peers and have already painted the walls with your brains (or are in the process), so no problems there.
