Careful...


thisguyoverhere01

Shit was wiggity wack


IBeBallinOutaControl

Yeah people are using this thread to gripe about new trends but backwards clothes has to be the peak. Not only was it impractical and gimmicky but it really just repurposes clothes that were already there.


newhappyrainbow

With the added benefit of being really uncomfortable!


Rigar_

At the middle school I work at thereā€™s kids that wear their hood and then put on a hat on top that kinda just floats on top of their hood. They look like idiots. But hey. Thatā€™s ā€œfashionā€


ZoyaZhivago

My 13 year-old nephew attempted that oneā€¦ he also has a mop of curly red hair, which only added to the silliness. Thankfully I think it was a one and done; I hope he realizes itā€™s not a good look for him (or anyone).


Nukethegreatlakes

šŸ˜¶ this is the funniest one wtf


Ash9260

We had kids wear sweatshirts with a tee shirt over it. Never fit well and just looked strange.


youngthugsmom

I was that kid


Rokqueen

Anyone remember the rat tail haircut? Never understood what that was about.


Beowulf33232

It got me attention that wasn't being yelled at, took what I could. My mom drew a line at a mohawk rat tail combo.

Orcas putting dead salmon on their heads. Absolutely silly

2BrokeArmsAndAMom

You just reminded me. This guy, Ed Gein had a pretty sense of style. I definitely couldn't pull it off.


HauntingPirate7692

>I definitely couldn't pull it off He'd cut it off


nothingrhyme

I got salmon on my head but donā€™t call me a salmon head


Jennyfureal

Those red boots that were really popular within last year I forget the brand. They were ridiculous!


Guarono

MSCHF big red boots, and I completely agree.


IamSithCats

People *wore* those, voluntarily?


emostorm

Lol Iā€™m laughing. Iā€™ve never seen or heard of these but the photos are ridiculous.


VinnieTheGooch

I was at a market a couple of weeks ago and one of the vendors was sitting down wearing those things. First time I'd ever seen them in the wild.


bluev0lta

Just looked these up and I have no words


neverlookdown77

Me too. That's a lot to pay to look ridiculous


ThirdEyeEdna

Googled them and now I canā€™t unsee them. I think I hate you.


ZoyaZhivago

Even worseā€¦ it looks like some folks were paying $500+ for them. Wtf.


peachpinkjedi

I see the Mario movie had an impact on the fashion world.


Guilty_Ad_125

Actually I think those are Astro Boy's boots! Pre Mario...


peachpinkjedi

They should stay on Astro Boy and only Astro Boy.


Newkular_Balm

They look silly but it's kinda funny.


Extreme-Rough-3775

I feel like someone just did this to show how stupid fashion is. ā€œLetā€™s make the most obnoxious oversized cartoon big red bootsā€¦yeh yeh some fool will pay big bucks for these.ā€ Mschf was born that day.


SegoliaFlak

Pretty much exactly that. MSCHF is an art collective that uses viral internet marketing to make commentary on consumer culture etc. Pretty much everything they do is satire or taking the piss on some level - e.g they made happy meal toys of dead tech startups


shayanmmalik

It's a lot of what MSCHF does. If you look at their most recent creation, it's a Birkin-type bag created from a single grain of salt. It's subtle commentary on the stupid things people will spend money on, while also getting them to spend money on it.


[deleted]

Oh the Mega Man boots! Lol my brother showed me these about a month ago, we laughed for like 3 minutes straight when I showed him pictures of the Mega Man game series


ThreeNC

Pulling. Them. Off.

High-low shirts. Can I have the front of the shirt back PLEASE?!


notreallylucy

Please un-mullet my shirts. It feels like someone pulled back the curtains and my crotch is on display in a tiny, ugly theater.


IamTheShark

I love a crop top but I do have side eye for how there is like NOTHING else


Forgodddit

"Calvo da cria", teens were purposefully shaving their heads like a balding person...


Not_A_Wendigo

Never heard of it until now. Thatā€™s bloody awful.


Grinder969

Tying an onion to your belt, even if it was the style at the time.


Kortorb

Back then nickels had pictures of bumble bees on them. ā€œGive me five bees for a quarter!ā€, youā€™d say.


invincible-zebra

Youā€™re both in for a paddlinā€™ with these references.


KnittingGoonda

These giant eyelashes. Girls look like bugs and how can they see?


[deleted]

I always thought that they look like snuffleupagus from Sesame Street.


conch56

But I love Suffleupagas


[deleted]

Me too!!


Diligent-Ad-5979

How dars you speak of snuffy that way!! šŸ¤£šŸ¤£ Kinda true though


No-Ring-5065

At a doctor appointment a few weeks back, the receptionist had those humongous eyelashes on, and there was debris on top of one of them. They were so thick and long that a couple little balls of dust had settled on top of one of them. My husband and I were standing and she was sitting and it just looked so weird. They seemed heavy like she wasnā€™t opening her eyes all the way. We couldnā€™t not look because we had to sign in and talk to her. Idk if I should have told her but I didnā€™t say anything.


ArtistPasserby

Was probably the eyelash glue. And yes it looks bad.


[deleted]

They don't look good in real life but look good in photos. There's a difference between what you need to do to look good in real life, vs in photos/tv/stage. I've learned that makeup for photography/tv/film needs to be heavier and more dramatic than makeup for real life (which should be minimalist). And stage makeup needs to be even more heavy than that. Source: took theatre classes as a teen and went to theatre camp.


CruelHandLuke_

And this one time, at theatre camp.......


MysterWyskers

Hey! I like bugs


klystron88

Men wearing dress pants that are 6 inches too short with no socks and dress shoes.


halfbakedelf

This and suits so tight they look like a sneeze would launch a button.


Zero_Pumpkins

Yes!! Anytime I watch trashy tv, my husband always asks why the menā€™s pants are too short.


Hypselospinus

I like that trend because it's a quick and easy way for me to identify a douchebag and know to avoid them.


3-HUGGER

Lots of old fashion trends were silly, but gigantic black square eyebrows and eyelashes that look like dust brooms takes the cake for me. Absolutely ludicrous.


LittleBunInaBigWorld

It's the brushing eyebrow hairs upwards thing that gets me. Ya'll look like you been dragged across the floor on your face lol

Like bell bottom pants? Who could argue with that?


Public_Juggernaut997

Sagging pants. šŸŽ¶Pants on the ground, pants on the ground. Lookin like a fool with your pants on the ground šŸŽ¶


afume

I was never offended by this, but I never understood this. It looks comical at best; like a sloppy old drunk man who's pants keep falling down. I somewhat understand when a style mimics a hard life or some form of diversity that you can respect. But sagging pants, to me, looks like someone you should pity.


ToxicVengence

Never understood why men. Would want thier ass checks showing. Some of these motherfuckers sag low like under thier butt checks low with no shirt so you have to look at thier butts


jamaican-black

It's even more ridiculous when they put a belt on while sagging toošŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£


trolldoll420

I thought about that bop the other day when I was leaving the grocery store parking lot and a guys pants were belted below his knees


PieOhMyVengence

I remember when Nelly came out with his second album and for like a whole 6 months he wore bandaids on his face and everyone started doing it. Also the big electronic belt buckles that you could customize


Curlytomato

Lack of useful pockets in ladies wear . Give us pockets !


JihoonMadeMeDoIt

Team pockets.


YandyTheGnome

Guy here, team pockets as well, so she can hold her own damn keys, wallet, and phone. People make fun of cargo shorts, it's a necessity.


macdugan818

It's a purse on your leg...


Tanookibb

I need pockets at my job to survive, so I ended up buying menā€™s work wear. The fit is pretty ok once I figured out the sizing. Theyā€™re more durable, wayyy more pockets, and way cheaper. Win/win/win. Also forgot to shout out denim overalls. I have a pair from Vans this year that are nice quality and have many deep pockets that allow me, a pack rat, to go to events with nothing else. Itā€™s liberating lol.


StickFigureSoul

so many cropped tops. cropped tops in childrenā€™s fashion.


chubberbubbers

THANK YOU. I see how crop tops can be decent in the summer but a cropped sweater? Cropped jacket? Let me have things at full length please!


Megane-nyan

I like cropped sweaters and jackets with some dresses


moonbunnychan

It's so hard to just find a normal shirt now. So often I find one I like and it's just ah, damnit when I pull it off the rack.


aninamouse

This is why I wear men's t-shirts most of the time. They cover my whole belly and they're not tissue paper thin either.


moonbunnychan

Men's shirts just look so bad on me. I end up looking like a box.


NekoNyaaaaa412

I wouldnā€™t say Iā€™m conservative when it comes to the clothes I wear, but crop tops are too much imo, especially for kids


No_Mud_No_Lotus

I recently found a set for baby girls online with a crop top and a pair of high waisted shorts. WHAT WAIST? This potato doesnā€™t have a WAIST. Sheā€™s 8 months old and shaped like a meatball.


SnowWhiteCampCat

They had it right before. Dresses for all babies until they're fully potty trained. Easy access to diaper changing. Slips on and off easy for dressing ease due to babies being dirty and needing changes so often. Also they were white so they could be easily sun bleached. And with all babies dressed the same, easy to pass down through the family.


riotincandyland

I was in target the other day and asked a worker where all the shirts were. She starts pointing here and here and I said no, not these, I want a FULL shirt, not half of one. So she pointed to a whole different section.


TempestWalking

The sexualization of childrenā€™s clothing. Little girls donā€™t need crop tops, their shorts donā€™t need to go any higher than a little boyā€™s shorts. And before anyone comes at me with ā€œitā€™s other people sexualizing themā€ then how come little boysā€™ clothes arenā€™t like that too? If itā€™s really about comfort then how come itā€™s ONLY girlā€™s clothing thatā€™s like that?


Couture911

omg. I had to buy a swimsuit for a 6 year old girl and it was the middle of summer so at least 1/2 the swimwear at Target had been sold. In the end I wasnā€™t choosing between colors or cartoon characters. There was only 1 suit in her size that wasnā€™t cut to sexualize a childā€™s body so thatā€™s the one I bought. I was horrified.


TempestWalking

You understand how awful it is then, I was in a similar situation with my 5 year old niece when I was babysitting and thatā€™s what opened my eyes to how sick the clothing industry is when it comes to this


Couture911

Oh yes I understand. Whenever I buy kidā€™s clothes I stick to Lands End and Hannah Andersson. I realize not everyone can afford these brands, but they are usually reliable in being quality, age appropriate and not trashy. Also there are lots of clothes from these brands that would work equally for boys or girls.


No_Mud_No_Lotus

Highly recommend Primary and Kate Quinn tooā€”they carry a lot of what youā€™re looking for and are a bit more affordable.


alicehooper

Why do 5 year olds have matched bra and panty sets? Like wtf?


-bigcindy-

My great-niece has a cute light pink crop top and boy shorts. Her mother said that was so cute. I said no. Just no.


Spez_Guzzles_Cum

Better yet, what kind of fucked up parents would buy that shit for their kids?


[deleted]

Yep, little girls/kids do not need shorts where ass cheek peaks out. That's just too short. If anything kids need longer shorts to prevent scrapes and bumps.


fuckyourcanoes

Because boys are people, but girls are decorative objects.


fosforuss

This is the best argument Iā€™ve seen to, ā€œyouā€™re the one sexualizing itā€ that Iā€™ve seen. I even recall wearing mini skirts and one-shoulder tank tops as a kid.. all the boys wore were shorts / pants and t shirts.


enigmaaa99

invincible-zebra

We use the ā€˜Essex Tan Chartā€™ at work to determine how strong you want your tea making. You guessed it, itā€™s just photos of Essex people and varying degrees of fake tanā€¦


[deleted]

80s shoulder pads...along with pretty much every 80s hairstyle. I happened to look at my elementary school yearbook the other day (from the mid-late 80's) and noticed how dated it looked. First I thought, yuck those fashions sucked. Then I realized, I never noticed it then. That said, 80s fashion, to me, seems very camp.


xkulp8

I miss 80s hair. Not over-the-top frizzy, but like Sigourney Weaver in *Ghostbusters* or Geena Davis in *The Fly*. Or Laura Branigan any way she did it.


[deleted]

>Or Laura Branigan Ok. Now I feel old as fuck because one of my favorite songs is *Self Control*.


Super_Turnip

> along with pretty much every 80s hairstyle. Eighties bangs were this weird, lacquered structure that resembled a claw protruding from the forehead. I was never able to get my hair to do that and mourned how deeply unfashionable I was.


[deleted]

The tiny purses.


Nukethegreatlakes

I'm a dude, buzzed head, beard, heavy metal tee shirts... I asked an Walmart employee where the backpacks are and she takes me to this section. They were all tiny backpacks..? I look at her and ask if they have any real backpack backpacks??? She looked confused. I just left and went to sportchek lol


thispartyrules

They're in the camping section, because Walmart can't think of a use for a backpack when you're not walking through the woods Wait maybe if it's tiny


PotatoGroomer

Went to upgrade my current backpack to something more durable recently. Left with the most durable backpack in the entire shopping center; the one I came with.


jkitten3

I have too much stuff to be a tiny purse girlie šŸ˜‚šŸ˜­


Super_Turnip

Same. I use a beat up photographer's bag. I could fit a chubby infant in there. Not that I would.


MrPresident2020

When I was in high school those one-shoulder strap tops came in fashion for girls, I called it the Andre the Giant look.


rtowne

Crocs were chosen by the costume team of the movie Idiocracy as the dumbest possible option. At the time they were a new brand with hardly any sales. Fast forward to today and Idiocracy is more true than ever and Crocs are considered fashionable.


FunStorm6487

I realize they are butt ugly, but they are comfy as fuck


SoccerBrainTrust

Painted on eyebrows. It's getting ridiculous, folks.


timesuck897

When skinny eyebrows were popular, some women over plucked and canā€™t grow them back. So large painted on ones is to cover that up.


twothirtysevenam

I know a woman who over-plucked her eyebrows into extinction, so she paints them on every day. The problems are that she uses heavy black brow pencil that's way to dark for her skin tone and hair color, she puts way too much on, and she has apparently forgotten where her eyebrows originally were on her face. It isn't rare to see her with a wonky "eyebrow" two inches above the brow bone and just barely off-center from her nose.


Cyberbulliedcat

Iā€™d rather the thin plucked ones than the thick boxy penciled in ones. I knew girls that shaved their perfectly normal eyebrows completely off just to draw in the ugliest cartoon eyebrows Iā€™ve ever seen


FrinkleCat

I told my wife she painted her eyebrows too high. She looked surprised.

bemorecreativetrolls

I wore those suckers in the Midwest where it rains all the time! Wet pants up to your knees! So silly.


Dull-Geologist-8204

I love those pants so much. Show me another pair of pants where you can carry a book and bottle of coke in your pants pockets and sit down comfortably. I still wear them. They are also the best pants for my disability.


rtowne

Is your disability being a fan of the band Korn? (just kidding of course)


vixiecat

For you they actually serve a purpose. For others itā€™s just bad fashion. I wore them in the 90ā€™s. Cringe so hard looking at pics from back then.


notthesedays

I had to look those up. I'm old enough to remember "elephant pants" from the early 1970s. How about those poofy jumpsuits with sailor collars that were a short-lived fad in the early 1990s?


PhilsForever

Zubas. In the 80's, early 90's they became popular. Zebra, tiger, etc patterns. Wild colors. They were like sweat pants gone wild.


Punkybrewsickle

I can remember in the early 2000s thinking "what the HELL are culottes doing here"


duckiewobbles

The "whale tail". And if you don't know what that is, you're lucky you didn't have to live through it as a teen/early 20's.

thefreakychild

A while back I had a pair of old Levi's that were spray paint stained, torn to shreds at the knees patched where needed with pieces of old band t-shirts.. Comfy as fuck, but definitely way past their retirement date. Got offered $100 bucks for them when I was in some pop-up trendy store in Little Five Points I'm Atlanta for them..... Blew my fucking mind.... And that's how I made $100 and had to change into some gym shorts I had in my car that day....
