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.

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.

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:

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?
