Inspired by the fishnet thread, (and our differing opinions) please list some annoying fashion faux pas. In no particular order: - VPL (Visible Panty Lines). If I can see your briefs going up your butt through your chinos, get a thong or get looser chinos. - too tight pants: see above. - VBS (Visible bra strap). Ok, we've all fallen victim, but I esp. hate seeing the outline of a bra through a too tight shirt! -High-waisted, tight ankle jeans: c'mon people! -unkempt eyebrows. Brooke Shields can pull it off, but not everyone can. Get a tweezerman and/or go for the occasional waxing. -Stuff that looks like it should have been thrown out in the 80's. Do not call the Vets, do not pass the trash can. Just toss it. -Chipping nail polish (I am a big offender.) Note to self: keep polish remover and a sheer pink polish in kitchen so it can be taken care of easily. Next... |

Men who wear 3/4 length Fur coats. If you've ever seen an example of this, you'll know Exactly what I mean.... (Truthfully, I don't like fur coats on men at all, at any length, but there's something particularly bad about a 3/4 length fur coat on them....I don't know what it is -- they look like women from the 1950s.) |

Anyone I see with manicured nails I now blame for the destruction of local communities. If there were no market for nail salons we would have vastly improved downtowns. |

in the words of Jerry Seinfeld -- wearing sweatpants when you aren't working out is telling the world that you've given up. |

Yellow outfits of any kind-- VERY few people can get away with wearing the color yellow. Men who wear button-down shirts without a t-shirt underneath (particularly if they have a hairy chest). Panty lines (thongs can't be that hard to get used to ). Socks or Pantyhose with Sandals

Thongs should not show either - the whole point of them is to be invisible!! |

Speaking of Hillary - I can't stand the look she sported for a while (and may still be wearing) -- it's the sweater draped around the shoulders OVER a SUIT JACKET. That just doesn't make any sense to me. I can understand the sweater draped around your shoulders if you are wearing a shirt because you might put the sweater on if you get cold. But, over a suit jacket???? Can't she just accessorize with jewelry like other people? |

Socks with sandals. The point of the sandal is to have the feet breathe and exposed. If you put socks with them you might as well wear closed toe shoes. Only Jesus could get away with this...maybe |
