There's a phrase I haven't heard in a while: Pedal pushers.
Let's have a look, shall we? 
Oh deary deary me. |

| broadwaybaby124 |
people who wear white pants then wear red boxers with monkeys on them
ugh theres this kid in my science class who was dressed like that today it bugged the heck out of me |
||||||
| MrsJamieWellerstein |
^o.O
Never heard of that one before, dear. But I think I can imagine. And I don't want too. Poor you. |

That makes baby Jesus cry. And he wears SWADDLING CLOTHES.

Holy crap, if that quote would make complete sense out of context, I'd tattoo it on my forehead. |

I hate : uber-preppy:overpriced and tacky
Short shorts Sandles and socks oversized clothes too tight cloths Short skirts that strech Clothes that make people look easy. |
||||||
| MrsJamieWellerstein |
^Define "uber-preppy" and then tell us what's wrong with it, por favor. Just wondering, as I don't find the actual "prep" look ugly in any way, shape, or form. | ||||||
| cabaretfreak |
uber-preppy: popped collar, polos (I HATE polos), "beach wear", tanned skin, sunglasses, Hollister, AF, AE, frat boy, soreties, plaid shorts, bright, sunny colors
I have always disliked "populars" who wear this kind of stuff. When I think of populars, I think the people, who love to party, get drunk, sports, student council, cheerleaders, ect, the perfects. I know this sounds really sterotypical. But I found people that are "popular" and found out they are nice people. Also remember to wear what you feel comterble in. From what I can tell you guys are really cool regarless of what you are. |
||||||
| MrsJamieWellerstein |
Popped collar=out. Polos=Not so bad. "beach wear"=A necessity if, you know, you're going to the beach (and the "surfer dude" look can be carried well by some people). Tanned skin=kind of a dumb thing to dislike, as it kind of happens to many people when they venture out of their houses (do not fear the day star; it can't kill you) Sunglasses=A pretty damned good idea if you'd like to save your eyes from UV radiation. Also look good on most people. Personally, I can't carry them off. But I have a couple pairs that don't look so sucky on me, largely for the UV protection. Hollister, AE, AF: Nice looks (sometimes), inferior products (usually), silly stores (to quote my friend Bridgie: "I hate Abercrombie, but they have nice taste in man-meats"). "Frat boy" look=Works well on many guys. "Sorority girl" look=Works well on many girls (though "slut-chic", as I've heard it called, annoys me) Plaid shorts=good call on your part. Ew. Bright, sunny colors=hot, usually. For your own safety, I advise you not to IM me or see my LJ (usual motif=pink, yellow, and white with Applegate Sweet Charity icons). And I take mild offense to the image of "populars" as nasty folks who like to get drunk. Cheerleader, student council, sports people, whatever. The usual issue with these groups (when there is an issue) is an overinflated ego brought on by a power-trip over their place in student "society", which creates crappy personalities. I am among the "popular" people at my school. And yes, I can be a bit of a bitch, but that has nothing to do with my style or my friends. This nearly irrelevant tangent brought to you by Rollo the Dog (see sig). |

^My experience with popluars has sort of been one of those negitive experiences that I wish could go away, but then I wouldn't be the same. Sorry, Jamie | ||||||
| MrsJamieWellerstein |
No trouble. Just wanted to say what I thought.
Anyhow, back to fashion abominations. And now we present, the horror, the terror, the muumuu: 
Yes, it comes in three colors. Yes, it's going to haunt your dreams. No, it will never leave you again. |

^Mrs. Roper's mumu from Three's Company | ||||||
| Beagle On Stage |
Muumuus are bad now, but they do work on Mrs. Roper. Besides, it was the 70's and 80's. If we're going to condemn Mrs. Roper, then Jack, Janet, Chrissy, Cindy, Terry, and ESPECIALLY Larry are all dead too. | ||||||
| MrsJamieWellerstein |
They needed it, Beagle. Short-shorts? Come on. | ||||||
| Nudelkopf |
Everyone wears short-shorts! It's one of those things.. I don't even own a pair of 3/4s or jeans! I have one pair of golfers and the rest are.. short-shorts. So what's wrong with them? | ||||||
| MrsJamieWellerstein |
They're ugly. Plain and simple. It's like seeing someone walk around in awkwardly shaped panties. Ick. And short-shorts are much less common here. |
||||||
| Whit |
Short shorts are really not flattering to anyone. Unless of course you have 7 foot long toothpicks for legs. 
|
||||||
| Nudelkopf |
How short do you define short?
Like, school short (7 inches below top of leg), football short (5 inches BToL), or "omg I'm not wearing clothes" short (1 inche BToL) |
||||||
| JemiBoe1981 |
Holy Christ, is that how short they are over there? Woah... just wow. All those seem too short. And imagining guys in them... shiver... ...the hairy legs... Maybe it's just my American-ness being used to the guys in long shorts. No offense meant, but that's... different. |

You have to call in advance to reserve a session. |

What are everyone's thoughts on "man-pris"? | ||||||
| cabaretfreak |
I want to say they are cool, but only with the right style of fabric,. | ||||||
| Beagle On Stage |
NO! |
||||||
| Nudelkopf |
I did mean for females. But yeh. |
||||||
| broadwaybaby246 |
man capris? if so... haha those are fabulous lol |
||||||
| Pasty |
If you're being sarcastic i can't tell... but I'm referring to man-pris on 
|
||||||
| justanotherwannabe |
They are capris as worn by men. My opinion: NO.
JAWB |
||||||
| QuaxoCoricopat |
Hmm... I think Europe has not been traumatized yet by this fashion trend. I'll try to explain better... Man-pris would be what Michael Jackson wore in I believe its "Annie Are You Okay?" or one of those from that time period where he's dancing about and you can tell he's wearing white socks.
That said suits worn with athletic socks.... |
||||||
| Pasty |
Oh sorry, didn't mean to come off snappy 
I personally like them, though i do not own a pair. Only have been able to find em at H&M, but dayton isn't cultured enough to have one of their stores. |
||||||
| cabaretfreak |
They are all over Europe when I was there last summer. Thought there were a lot of MULLETS in Europe. |
||||||
| Whit |
I'm not a huge fan of man-pris. Considering that the shorts men wear here are pretty long, man-pris look like shorts that are a size too big or something. I don't really think they're that ugly and I'm not vehemently opposed to them, but they're just not something that I particularly like. | ||||||
| Nudelkopf |
What the hell are capris? Shhhhh, don't shoot me. | ||||||
| cabaretfreak |
Pants + shorts = Capris. They come down to the calf, I think | ||||||
| Nudelkopf |
Firstly, pants and shorts are the same damn thing. Secondly, why not just call them 3/4s??
OMFG Capris = a Toyota! |
||||||
| cabaretfreak |
^Pants and shorts to me are two different things. | ||||||

Definite fashion no-no: Charlize Theron's Oscar dress. *shudder* | ||||||
| Megan the Phantom Girlie |
I don't mind the occasional dash of crazy color in someone's hair- a lock on the side of the face or something like that, as long as it's not a blinding hideous color.
But where I live, many girls actually have their hair cut off close to the scalp so it serves solely as an anchor for these awful neon extensions, which are then usually braided TO the head until they explode into a shaky little fountainous knob wobbling on the side of the head. Also, there's the idea of a grill on the teeth. WHY? And there are girls who will cut their hair in front short so that they can wave it or curl it in front of the rest. And they're offended when I call it a mullet. |
||||||
| Whit |
Haha I think people need to realize that it's not necessarily a bad thing to have a "normal" hairstyle. | ||||||
| Beagle On Stage |
Hey, my grandmama hate it, but my little mama love it. |
||||||
| Chevstriss |
Capris = Mary Tyler Moore in the old Dick Van Dyke show.
Also Audrey Hepburn in the "beatnik" scene from Funny Face. |
||||||
| wicked_diva |
Nudel, since you seem a little confused...
Shorts: 
capris: 
pants: 
|
||||||
| Nudelkopf |
Muah loving you. Right... a) I never, ever wear pants, b) If those "capris" weren't so huge around the arse and had a decent colour, they'd be golfers, and c) I wear shorts to school! YAY! Strange moment. | ||||||
| JemiBoe1981 |
Oh! Whoops! |
||||||
| Nudelkopf |
Rugby is frigging awesome. It's a pity I suck at it Funny stuff... LOL Aaanyway..
Fashion no-no = my damn school uniform. It was soooo ugly! I saw these kids the other day wearing it and I swear it has gotten worse. It's just a navy blue polo shirt that fades seriously quick and shorts. That's it.. They can wear whatever shoes they wish. It's majorly different from most Aussie schools. I went to the city the other week and the kids.. woah.. They had to wear pressed cotton shirts, a tie, long pants and polishable black shoes - and that was the juniors!!! Queer things... |
||||||
| MaryMag |
Yes it is a bad thing! 
|
||||||
| Megan the Phantom Girlie |
You wear it better than most in that picture. At least the basic style is normal. | ||||||

Did you revive this just for a smiley? Lol.
Yeah... |

Haha. I just went through and read this whole thread because I'm bored.
Good advice, people. |

Crocs. Most deff.[/b] | ||||||
| bare24601! |
Haha definitely. And overalls. |
||||||
| Brock07 |
Unless you are a legitamate farmer wearing them to work.
I passed some kid here at college wearing them to class....obviously not a farmer...I was like, wtf. |
||||||
| lesmisloony |
My uni sells crocs with our logo on. In our school colours.
Most fashion faux pas don't hurt me, but crocs make me physically cringe every time. And they're dangerous, too! They'll get you stuck on an escalator or have you falling on your bum in the rain! So why wear them? Why make waterproof shoes with giant HOLES in them? |
||||||
| Cake_in_Song |
They had sparkly gold crocs in Claire's when my ex-boy and I went there on Monday to find him some fishnets to make a shirt for the gay pride rave. Which totally reminded me of a hilarious moment in Chapters shortly after: *He and I are reading titles* Salesperson: Can I help you ladies? *We turn around* Salesperson: Oh....umm, you're not a lady. Umm, I'm sorry.....*awkwardly leaves* Me: She thought you were a lesbian. Him: I wish I was a lesbian. Me: If you were, I'd totally date you. *another awkward moment* Me: Oh, yeah. That'd be exactly what we just did, except more boobs. |

-has no fashion sense whatsoever-
Sorry to ask, but what are mom jeans? |
||||||
| kiwiholly |
Lol, I own Crocs...and have come to conclude that their only reasonable use it for swimming/snorkeling in the sea where the bottom is sharp/dangerous. Yes. Other than that. No.
http://jb3230.k12.sd.us/mom-jeans.jpg ^ Mom jeans. |
||||||
| wicked_boy |
Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. ^. | ||||||
| Chevstriss |
pretty much jeans from the 90s. Moms tend to hang onto their clothes an extra 10 yrs. they are high waisted and tapered at the ankle. 
they keep trying to bring back high waisted pants but no one at my Walmart seems to be buying. Still loads of muffin tops and coin slots waddling thru the aisles here. |

Black, footless tights (or other colors) AS PANTS. Like, INSTEAD OF pants.
Girls around here wear these dance tights - the American Apparel type - with just a shirt, sometimes not even a long one. Do these people realize that they are not wearing pants?? hahaha. ew. The paler colours are the worst. That chalky gray colour is not a pretty sight. |

Haven't seen this yet so . . .

I just bought a pair of black leggings yesterday (to wear under a dress, not with just a shirt) | ||||||
| Annie |
Hell, I'm totally cool with leggings under dresses! I'm doing it right now!
I mean, AS pants. INSTEAD of pants, with a top. *shudder* |
||||||
| Chevstriss |
I wear the leggings UNDer my mom jeans.
granny gets cold. actually this is what I'm wearing right now preparing for my 3 mile jog: 
I'm ALWAYS in yoga clothes cuz I'm either going to or coming from class ALWAYS |
||||||
| Cake_in_Song |
Yeah, I've seen that done. It's just....bizarre. It does NOT look good at all. It makes you look like you have a huge, lumpy ass. I love leggings under things. My entire summer wardrobe is leggings under short shorts and mini-skirts. But on their own...they are evil. |
||||||
| kiwiholly |
Chevstriss: Lol, I think when exercise/yoga clothes are being used within their intended context, they don't constitute a fashion no no. You're probably fine, lol!
|
||||||
| NoOneMournsTheWicked |
Not gonna lie... I've worn leggings with just a long shirt. But the shirt always went past my butt. And, since I was at my old weight then, I looked hot. At my present weight? Not so much. When I get back to my old weight? Yes. | ||||||
| jesuiscommejesuis |
I am so over leggings. | ||||||
| PappyCat |
Leggings are not pants.
Leggings with skirts/dresses = CUTE. Leggings with just a shirt is not a good time. Everytime these kinds of conversations come up, I always make a case for my denim gauchos. LOVE THEM. I'm wearing a pair right now. |
