Put your answer here.
What drives you nuts to see when people make a fashion faux paux?

Twice in one week I've been the victim of a public mooning.
I hate Hate HATE people that wear those hip hugging lowrider pants that expose the top part of their "crack" !
They don't fit!!! -- Get a clue!!!-- OMG.. I started to tap the girl on her shoulder in the Walgreens check out line and tell her I didn't appreciate the view I had of an inch worth of her butt and thank goodness I didn't have the kids with me on that particular shopping trip.
The other was the window bank teller that stood to turn around and get me a $50.00 dollar bill she didn't currently have in her drawer. Seeing her peek a boo tattoo was one thing but before she could loop two fingers through her side belt loops and give a hoist, I saw the crevice that butterfly was trying to escape!

So what is it that you notice as a "Can't believe you left the house wearing THAT" kinda thing?


Maybe We'll have fun laughing at some of these horror stories.

ROFL.....I agree about the pants.

Should be Illegal: The muffin top problem and showing the thong (whether skinny or bigger)

I am not itty bitty but am not too terribly big either and I try very hard to stay fashionable without revealing my goodies. You can look very nice and classy without showing your tattoos and/or underclothes (those are for private showings only

Should be illegal for any part of the belly to be showing, especially if it's bulging!

Why? Do you mean no two piece bathing suits?

Jeans that are sooo tight that show "camel toes"

I have Fashion Police pet peeves with footwear.

I really don't like socks (any, but especially white) with sandals....imo, it looks really dorky. If you need socks, then you should be wearing shoes.

I also don't like white socks with dark shoes.....imo, it looks dorky.

I don't like it when women wear sneakers with their business attire....imo, it looks dorky.

I'm sure there are more footwear things that annoy me, but these are the top ones!

cj/

I know I will get flames from people, but I don't like flip flops everywhere. I can see at a beach but it seems to be the fashion where ever. No protection for the feet, people walk out of them, not good for flat feet, etc. You might as well go barefoot. I remember during the 60's and hippies went barefoot. People were outraged.

I just saw a lady the other day - white pants and looked like dark blue thong underneath! Eeekkkkksssss! My white granny panties look better under white pants than that did! And this particular lady works with one of my friends - I nonchalantly asked my friend if the lady had worn white pants to work that day? She said yep - you noticed too huh?

People who wear sandals that don't fit. Your toes shouldn't be hanging over the shoes, and your heels shouldn't hang over the back either.

I've never lied to you. I've always told you some version the of truth.

Sorry, I took the thread to mean, everyday wear... No, 2 piece swim suits are fine, but look in the mirror before you go out in public in it... There are some people at my pool and you can't even see the swim suit when they are stitting down... That should be illegal.

I don't want to see anyone's butt crack when you bend over wearing low rise pants/jeans/shorts. I also don't want to see anyone's stomach hanging over the tops of low rise pants. If you have any stomach flab at all you have no business wearing a two piece bathing suit where your flab hangs over the stomach, I feel strongly about this for adults and kids included (there is nothing attractive about chunky kid/teenager/adult showing it all) now what you wear in your own backyard and I can't see then I don't care, but in public I really don't want to see it. We have a pool and sometimes DD's friends wear bathing suits they really have no business wearing, when someone weighs 160 or 170 and they're about 5'3 they don't need to be wearing a bikini. I don't want to see the thong straps coming above the low rise jeans. Some women just need to wear a bra, alot could get away without wearing one and look fine, but it's never those women that go without, it's the ones that are huge and hang down, oh so gross and they might even be wearing a tank top, eeek. I also don't want to see what color your underwear are, whether they are coming out of the back of low rise jeans or you are wearing clothes that you can actually see the color through.

Oh, I forgot one, I hate to see people wearing slippers in public. Now if you obviously have a sore foot or something then that's different, but just to wear them to the grocery store because you didn't want to wear shoes, is just tacky.

What is up with the shorts (juniors clothing) that look like diapers or potty training pants! Gross..short as diapers, puffy/poufy and sort of gathered fabric around the leg holes..saw them at 2 or 3 stores at the mall this weekend...like a big version of plastic baby swim pants!

And yes the pants my mil called "Gumby pants" six sizes too big, belted around knees, a foot of fabric draggin on the ground..I swear I don't know how kids can walk around in those -

also dislike the baby doll tops (not all...and at least those aren't revealing!) but I dislike the styles that make you look pregnant even if you're a little size double-zero

It can go both ways. My ds was a nurse in the army. His first day at Walter Reed Hospital, he wore boxer shorts with a pattern. Then he put on white scrubs. He was corrected by his commanding officer.

You all need to come to Miami, I see was too much skin on everyone! No matter was size or age they all wear little tops and low riders. I just don't want to see what should be covered up!

Do not go to the beach that just gets real ugly.

I don't like a girl's/lady's shirt to be so tight that I can make out the exact outline of the bra she has underneath. Too much info!

While I like knowing that a girl is definitely wearing a bra, I don't want to be able to have a visual of its exact style, etc.

I'm ready for long sweaters to come back into style!! Who's with me????

I am in agreement with pretty much everything said so far. Just a couple to add.

The sandals that are too small thing just drives me crazy too. And while we are on sandels, how about a pedicure, people? When someone is wearing sandals and they have feet with long yellow toenails and dead skin that looks pre-historic, that is just nasty.

Ok and this one is just a personal peeve, Ballcaps.

There is a bill on a ball cap for a reason. It is to shade your eyes. Not your neck, not your ear. Yes if you are about to jump on your Harley or Schwinn or need to turn it to use a camera that is fine but when you are wandering Walmart or dining at Applebee's with it turned backwards it looks wrong. Perhaps if you don't need a bill on a cap you should invest in a beret.

Ok lucky you for you people that I have to get ready for work now (in my totally PC dress) or I could go on for a loooooong time.

The visuals you provided here are cracking me up!!

Especially the "Gumby Pants" one - I just saw a guy like this last week and I SWEAR his pants were going to fall off. I held my breath until he got far enough away, that's how bad it was. If he hadn't had a long t-shirt on, I'm SURE I would have seen the waistband of his jeans completely under his butt!

LOLOLOL!! What gets into people that they think hitching up their pants every 2 steps and tripping every OTHER 2 steps is an attractive look?!

__________________

Upside down sun visors. Yup.

Tops that are cut so low they show the boobs in cheap non supportive bras. So you think at any minute the boobies are going to fall out.

I don't want to see anyones Butt or Boobs hanging out of their clothes.

I also dislike people wearing those skin tight leggings. Some are "packed in" and overflowing!
I always wonder if they have a mirror in their house.

I agree on the white socks with dress shoes and black socks with sandals.

Well I guess I'll beg to differ. I am 5'3" and *I* wear a bikini and I weigh between 150-160 (depends how bloated I am LOL). I don't think I look bad at all. At 160 I am only a size 8 so I don't think a size 8 should not wear a bikini. I guess it depends on how the person is built???


I think the following should be illegal

as almost everyone has already stated, NO ONE wants to see your @ss crack! I see far less cracks than I used to since jeans are on "the rise" which is a good thing.

GIRLS (and I mean little girls up to teens) should NOT WEAR shirts that say "my mom's a MILF" or any other kind of sexual shirt. I also think it's odd that it's the junior dept where the shirts made show ALL your chest since it's so NOT appropriate! I can't wear juniors shirts because "my goods" hang out (even if the shirt fits)

socks with sandals....unless you are 80 years old with a walker...they just say DORK (like other poster said)

wearing sheer white pants with no underwear: my DH and I used to get disgusted when we would go out and see young women wearing sheer pants with no panties...you know she's not a real blond if you know what I mean

everything you said plus:
little girls wearing a summer dress with high heel black boots(the winter kind that goes up to their knees!) drives me nuts.....and I see those often,I guess people find those on clearance in the summer.....

and teh biggest ones ,I just can't stand it,and think about getting a nail gun for it: is young men who are wearing pants 10 sizes bigger ,that sits below their waist and have hard time keeping thos eup.and you can see their boxer shorts....

************************************************** *************


When I was a size 8 (MANY moons ago) I weighed 105. I am (and was) 5ft. 1 1/2 inches tall.
Have sizes changed over the years?

I am not accusing you of anything, just curious about sizes these days.

__________________

I do think sizes have changed over the years. I used to wear a size 12, at 125#. I'm 5'4". Anyone know for sure?

I don't know. I just know I'm an 8. At 175 lbs I was a size 12 and at 135 lb I am a size 6. In high school I was 115 and wore a 6 so obviously a 6 has gotten *bigger* in 15 years. If I weighed 105 I would be a zero. My aunt (who is built similar to me but only thinner and no boobs) is 109 and is a size zero-two, depending

This one is probably a YMMV kind of thing...maybe some people like them, but I give a big thumbs down to Speedo bikini bathing suits on anyone other than Matthew McConaughey. Mmmm..mmmm...good on him, Yucky on anyone else.

cj/

I guess it does depend on what brand of clothing you buy also. My college age DD weighs 134, at 5'2" and wears a size 11 in most clothes. She is on the verge of not being able to wear a bikini, which she only wears at home in the pool or at the tanning salon, when she goes to a public pool she wears a tankini. When I was a college student I weighed 120 and wore a size 9 at 5'7".

well, I am 4'10 and a half and weigh 135 and there is no way I would wear a bikini.
the thing I hate the most is the teenager girls wearing the daisy duke shorts and the 6 inch high heel shoes. That looks plain stupid!

At 120 I would wear a size 4 I think. Lowest I have been at since having kids is 135 and I was a 6 in most brands of pants (shirts I am always a 10/12 because of my chest size).

It's so interesting how body types are different.

I just thought of another one that is tacky!

Anything written across someones behind! I have seen very suggestive things written on a small childs behind. What kind parent wants a pervert looking at a childs behind?

Seriously? What brand suit are you buying? I'm 5'8" and currently weigh 150 and I couldn't squeeze into a size 8 bathing suit if my life depended on it. I always have to buy a size bigger in any bathing suit.

Swimsuit bottom is Anne Cole size 8. I wear size 8 jeans/pants from Lee, Ann Taylor Loft and Dockers. Some brands I do take a 10 but I would say 85% of what I have is an 8

Pet peeves I have are basically the same the butts hanging out UMM gross I dont care to see it at all this describes the last picture taker we had at sears GROSS!!! Or the boobs hanging out on women who have them tattoed LOL this describes my walmart cashier awhile back.

And the girls wearing highheels with everything & cant even walk in them today I seen one fall down in them at the mall um kinda dangerous & at 30 I have never even wore highheels I think how uncomfy

I had forgotten about the whole sock sandal thing - I secretly laugh at those people too!

Ok... but I need to know... what's up with the toe hang over??? models and taller women with sexy little shoes do this.. it almost looks like they are trying to get a better grip by using their toes to hang on tight.. EWWW!
That is a little wierd to me too.

and sexysmurf..... I gotta ask.. what does MILF stand for.. is it bad?
Our Walmart has a boys t-shirt right now that says the word "freakin'" in a phrase on it. I didn't pay close attention, I wasn't in the dept shopping, I was walking a main aisle and read in passing. OH MY!

and I nearly spewed my Sobe when I read the Camel toe one.. HA HA HA LOL!
I had never heard that term until about 5 years ago. duh... what a sheltered life! LOL!

I absolutely HATE going to the beach and some woman plop her thong outfit down right beside where I am sitting and in front of my children!! What gives them the idea it is alright for them to go nude in front of my kids?? They should be ashamed of themselves for exposing themselves in front of kids.

People that wear very thin white pants and no undies.

People who wear half shirts, see through shirts and have thier flabby bellies hanging over thier pants. I don't want to see them stretch out in public either raising thier hands above thier heads.

I don't like seeing those Crocs either. I think they are about the ugliest things I have ever seen. JMHO!!

Oh and for petesakes if you are going to wear a skirt be a lady about it!!

CJ...TOTALLY AGREE!!!!

Just saw an older women wearing a very, very short mini skirt and a very tight shirt which exposed every ripple, and bulge (she was about 75 pounds too big for the outfit) and wearing 5 inch heels at an amusement park...she walked like a penguin too!

Don't like to see PJ's in public!

This Should Be Illegal To Wear.....

When You Have A Flat Butt Wearing Tight fitting Jeans.....

Large Lady Wearing Tight Fitting Clothes,showing Their Love Handle..hanging Over The Pants.....

Wearing Sandals And The Nail POLISH NEED TO BE RETOUCH...

I think little girls should be dressed like little girls.
NOT like Brittney Spears,Lindsey Lohan,etc

Children grow up soon enough!

O.k......you made me laugh. Maybe the offenders need new goodie bags?

It should be illegal for people to NOT tell you that your rear end is exposed ! I went shopping one day in tight shorts (because I have gained weight and haven't gotten around to buying new ones),anyway, after comming home from a trip around town,my bf freaks and says "Where the h311 you been,who have you been doing?" Turns out the whole rearend of my shorts had ripped out exposing half my "pretty pink panties" I could have DIED!! I was wondering why everyone was staring at me.I thought I must be having a "good day" but NOOO, it was because I was running around with my butt exposed. Now,why out of all the hundreds of people that probably saw it and were like ,why couldn't one kind soul come up to me and let me know,so I didn't futher humiliate myself by going to more stores.
This was worse than the time in 6th grade when I was wearing white pants and unknowingly started my period.Nobody said a word and I didn't find out till I got home and changed my clothes that my whole rearend was red!
Maybe some people don't even know their crack is showing and might appreciate you letting them know.

Okay here goes: I am fat I wear clothes that flatter my figure and hide some of the bumps and bulges. It should be illegal if you can pinch an inch or more to expose those bulges that not only look horrendous but make people think those who wear them either are mentally ill, blind or so deep in denial that I don't want to see what they have on at the pool. Yuck.

Also some old lady clothes have got to go. Appliqued sweaters should not be seen except between the hours of Midnight on Dec 23 and midnight on Dec 25.

The clothes that bug me more than anything are the ones they wear on "The Golden Girls". I always comment on the horrible fashions of the 80s.

It should be illegal to wear a white bra under anything that lets it show through. And undies that allow the people watching to tell exactly what part of your crack they are infringing upon.

And don't forget men who let their big old hairy beer bellies hang over their shorts and they have no shirt on so their sweaty manboobs are hanging lower than my 50 yr old D cups.

One more: aging women who dress like teenagers. Believe me, I'm in the camp of wanting to fight this age thing hand over fist but I also believe that it is possible to remain stylish, yet dress age appropriately. Someone said that "goodies" should be covered up; elderly "goodies" should be really covered up. If one is getting to the age where their mobility is impaired, for heaven's sake, it's time to choose appropriate footwear.....stilettos are out. My MIL is soooo bad with this.

cj/

Wow. I've also wondered what the MILF meant. I had a lot of guesses but none were close to that. Wow.

I knew, I knew!!

Lol

and double
I live under a rock.. I would have never known! one more reason I hope she gets a clue sooner than later so her kids don't pay the price for her current immaturity! Low Class indeed.

Dollydeal.....
What exactly IS the proper etiquette when telling someone one's hind end is exposed?
Lean forward and whisper? what if they snap back - well why the *humph* were you looking?

This girl was a Walgreens buggy's width in front of me in the ONLY checkout open at the time and I could see enough it looked liked a quarter slot on a slot machine.

Can't wait to see what would have been appropriate for me to tell her.

why don't you put a quarter in that slot machine I bet THAT would get her attention! I have *snapped* thongs (but only on people I know) who has their sticking out. They would walk around covering their butt all day so I wouldn't do it again LOL

You could ask "are you a plummer?" When my DD's crack is showing (she's 6 and her pants slip down sometimes...), we ask her if she's a plummer and she hikes them up LOL I always think of crack showing as "plummer butt"
