Fashion accessories that piss you off.

[Extraintrovert]

Snip

I'm not going to bother with this anymore. You clearly aren't even reading what I type considering you say I haven't explained myself when I fucking explained it twice already. You don't agree with me, fine, but at least make an attempt to comprehend my argument.

I said it in 2006 and I'll say it again now: Uggs. Seriously, think about this for a minute. Uggs are fucking slippers. I live in Vancouver. It tends to rain/snow/hail down hellfire on a fairly regular basis here, because our weather is just that awesome. Why in the name of God are you wearing woolen slippers out in 2 feet of snow?! I'm fairly certain they aren't waterproof.

Do not mistake me, it's not the shoes themselves I have any real problem with. I mean, yeah, they're not really my thing, but fashionable stuff rarely is. I don't delude myself into thinking that I am the epitome of style or whatever, but what I'm talking about here is really more how blatantly impractical, and how astoundingly uncomfortable this whole trend has become. They're boots that almost literally absorb moisture, and yet, at least 10% of the people I see outdoors in the pouring rain are wearing them.

Also, don't worry, I'm aware that our weather is incredibly mild compared to most places, but still, the boots are out of place.

I hate the aesthetic of them, but have to argue that they are about the warmest thing I have ever put on my feet, and that they were pretty necessary when it started snowing here. They are WAY too hot to be slippers....just warm enough to be snow boots...and they keep my feet pretty dry, (though for rain, I use military rain boots.)

Edit: Also, they're styled after mukluks....and I'mma trust an Eskimo on proper snow attire.

those scooters with giant windscreens (like vespa) they piss me off. you see people everywhere with those things nowadays including matching helmets with the seat.. and its mostly chicks to that have those things.

still i dont get why i hate them XD

Walk into your local hot topic, select anything there, I choose that. Honestly, if it's not practical, I typically don't like it. But I've also made a name for myself by carrying rope wherever I go.

But, just ask Murph, he'll back me up on this.

[Ickorus]

I think pretty much all fashion accessories piss me off.

 

[MercurySteam]

I'm gonna say Ugg Boots. I saw someone wearing them in a cinema and I almost slapped her.

 

[wooty]

Fashion thats generally associated with the "scene kid" crowd, seriously I dont know what to think, you cant really tell whether its a boy or a girl under the long side parting, extremely tight jeans and weird jacket that looks like a 4 year olds bedroom wallpaper.

Ugg boots. They look stupid, have no support, they stink like a wet sheep after a while (a friend of mine had a pair and she went out in the rain wearing the stupid things), if they get wet they are damn near ruined, and they are a hell of a lot of money. They are over £100 in the UK. I mean, who on earth will pay £100 or over for glorified slippers?! They are just terrible.

People who have money to waste. These same people shop at Jack Wills, ya know the type 'OMG JUST BOUGHT AMAZING HOODIE FOR LYKE £70 ISNT IT THE BEST THING EVAAARRRR!!!111!!'. I have a friend who did this to me and I just said' Oh really, I got my hoodie from Debenhams it cost £20 and has a warm fluffy lining so I don't freeze my nips off'.

OT: Ugg boots, the girls who wear them are ruining their feet and ankles, there is no support and they just end up getting destroyed by scraping them along the pavement. Ive got a pair of skate shoes that I got nearly 7 years ago and they are still in near mint condition.

 

[LiftYourSkinnyFists]

The baseball caps that people insist on keeping the stickers on and press on nails. (for some reason the latter really grosses me out)

I only keep stickers on my hats which cost money, I'd rather have an authentic with all the stickers etc than a primark knock-off.

First of I like Ties, but if you're a guy it's next to impossible to pull one off unless you're also wearing a proper collared shirt. I love my "Doomsday Arcade" style 8-bit tie.

As for what looks stupid: Crocs. Now I'm actually wearing a pair now, but I only wear them like slippers when I'm in my house since we have cold stone floors. You see grown men wearing them on the street and I want to just weep for them. Wearing them at the beach is OK though.

 

[Cowabungaa]

Worst thing I can imagine: Uggs. If anything can utterly ruin a beautiful woman's shapes it's a pair of revolting Uggs. Especially when worn with skinny jeans. Who the fuck thought that was a good idea?! And in the summer too! What the hell?

Also;
-Harem pants, for the same reason as Uggs.
- Crocs. I bet they're comfy...but they make you look like trailer trash. Incidently it's the local trailer trash that actually walks around in those things.
- Those humongous sunglasses that make you look like a fly.
- The idea that tiny dogs are fashion accessories. That's just cruel.
- Tiny handbags because they're so absolutely useless. They're friggin' wallets with handles.
- Gangsta pants. Just...gangsta pants. Any 'gangsta' clothing for that matter.

There's also a large group of people who think they look good with certain accessories like fedoras, longcoats and all kinds of traditional cool stuff. But they simply don't fit a lot of people, sadly a lot of geeks are amongst them.

Ties and high-heeled shoes. They are utterly useless, uncomfortable, and they're a safety hazard (having a pre-attached noose around one's neck is about as intelligent as nearly breaking one's ankle with every step). Anyone willingly wearing them deserves a slap in the face, and anyone forcing others to wear them deserves a kick in the crotch.

NO FUN ALLOWED!

They look good, deal with it.

As I mentioned elsewhere on this thread, history is littered with absurd and idiotic items that were considered at the time to "look good" but have (mostly) disappeared from use. Now they are derided and mocked because of the wearer's painfully obvious placing of practicality below acquiesing to the volatile whims of fashion, yet do the exact same things ourselves because humans never learn. In a few decades what is considered to "look good" now will be similarly mocked, and the cycle will continue.

You want to wear stupid things, go ahead, I couldn't care less. But don't pretend it is anything other than stupid.

Well, high heels can really accentuate a girl's legs. And if she's got a good pair of legs...hmhmHM! It's all about the sex appeal. That and they can really add some height to short girls. They're really far from useless.

And you can do aaaall sorts of kinky things [http://www.gq.com/images/slideshows/mens/standalone/gq/feature/040108/tie_me_up/00006f.jpg] (read: relax, it's kinda NFSW but not porn) with ties. Oh yessss...*cough* Why they're so important for the business look I don't know though, but that ain't why I like 'em.

Agree 100%

Also extremely large sunglasses and earrings annoy the piss out of me.

 

[Deadlock Radium]

Grey sweatpants 24/7.

GOD THAT ANNOYS ME!

If you don't know what I'm going on about, it is very cool in Norway to wear said grey sweatpants all day, week, month, year, life and afterlife. It looks so ugly, and people look like slobs who doesn't have the money to get proper clothes, like jeans.

Yeah, I have a pair of Vans skate shoes that I have had since I as 13 (I am 22 now) and they look like I only got them a couple of months ago or something. If I see any more overpriced Jack Wills crap I think I will cry. A friend of mine bought a pair of socks from there and they cost her like £15 and they came out in holes.

 

[Woodsey]

I'm also going to go with heelies. I always want to hold out my arm clothesline people that are using them, particularly teenagers/adults.

And so you should - it should be made a criminal offence for anyone over 12 to be using them.

OT: Girls (normal ones too, not Goths or Emos) keep getting the back of their necks pierced.

Its disgusting.

 

[LightspeedJack]

Hipsters who wear there hoody open but tie the strings together.

 

[elvor0]

Crocs, crocs can fuck off. Whats more painful is when you see an entire family wearing them; their poor poor children.

Also, those piercings on your top lip, the Madonna one. I like piercings except for that one, it just looks like you've got food on your top lip every time I see one.

 

[Shiv595]

Crocs

They are stupid.

Just this. Restated about 10,000,000 times.

...What are you talking about? Dressing like you GIVE a damn IS a sign of professionalism, and it's a great way to make an immediate and memorable first impression. I can't tell you how many applicants we turn away at my job because they think it's alright to fucking walk in covered in "bling" and a torn up tee-shirt, drop a pathetic excuse of a crumpled up resume on the counter, and expect us to be in such dire fucking straights that we'd hire their apparently lazy ass. If you don't care enough to look the part, then why would we care to hire you?

I'd come to formal work meetings in Gothic clothing just to annoy you. Like, Victorian era type stuff. Top hat and a cape. What? Its totally formal clothing.

Considering you'd look like you were taking the piss anyway, I have a feeling most employers would laugh you out the door

Edit: I need an OT! :O

I have those bloody giant belts girls wear around their waist. Its not fooling anyone love, we can all tell.
