Crimes of Fashion (Past & Present)
 

What fashions, current or in the past make you cringe?

Obviously my first one has to be Crocs!

Oh and I see alot of people (usually older) in these horrendous wolf jackets.. They actually have pics of wolves on them.. yuk!

those russian-style hats...not a good look.

Seldom I agree with you Novo - but good call!

Puffball skirts. What a bloody mess they were.

Duran Duran.

Oh! That's one of mine too! I often see ladies in them when it's cold.. I reckon they think they look posh..to me they just look like fannies! :laugh:

As I'm old I'll just sweep generations - anything from the 1970s (particular mention to Bay City Rollers fashions). Anything from the New Romantics of the early 80s.

Male hairstyles - Mullets, Tight Curly Perms............or the ultimate..........A Charlie Nicolas which was a cross between a Mullet and a Perm

Crocs
Ugg boots
Snoods
Lycra

Hmm.. not flattering at all!! :D

Oh and 'bling'. The sovereigns and medallions and huge hoop earrings

Speedo swimming trunks for men - I know Borat did the ultimate ptake with the mankini, but for a while Brits were wearing speedos abroad on Spanish beaches

Flip flops

Extreme shoulder pads on women's dresses - to try to be like Dynasty!

Agree with Ugg boots...Fug Boots more like.

As for guys, skinny jeans. Just not appealing to me at all.

Sarongs on men. No David Beckham, no

Again.. I'm sorry if I offend anybody, but god, those rings that say "MUM" or "DAD" or men with Rangers/Cletic football club necklaces! Chavtastic!

Leather trousers!

OMG it's all coming to me now :joker:

Erm.. I used to have a pair of fetching leather trousers :laugh:

Backin my rock chic phase.. *cringe*

Boob tubes. The most untrustworthy piece of clothing in the world

I used to be covered in 'bling' haha! Don't wear any jewellery now! Just one silver chain

People who wear neon-coloured rosary beads. 10 hail Marys,

-can't remember many old ones-
OH. When white girls tried to get those really tight braids in the mid 90s. Eek.

SHHHHHHH - you might offend some 2011 Essex Girls here!
