Also, the idea that a piece of cloth can make someone "look professional" (or that professionalism can be judged based on appearance instead of, I don't know, actual behaviour) is hysterical.
But it does. You dont turn up to certain jobs without a suit.

It's the way of the world. Whether or not it is fair or logical, we are judged by how we present ourselves, including how we dress. Having worked in a corporate environment, and studied fashion, I can tell you without a doubt that professionalism is as much about how you dress than anything else.
As I already elaborated, yes, maintaining one's appearance is often important to one's occupation. But appearance is completely indistinct from a person's ability to actually perform the job that is required of them, which is what many people assume, and this is the concept to which I object. Humans are a highly visual species, and we tend to be prejudiced towards the information we see rather than the actual facts of the matter, but that doesn't mean we have to perpetuate the modes of thinking that this has generated. People should care for their appearance, sure, but don't make assumptions simply because of their appearance.
Outside of a corporate environment, where it will never change, I strongly object to people being judged by how they look and dress. Being 'that goth chick' and being friends with a lot of goths, circus folk and furries, I am well aware that people unfairly judge others based on how they are dressed.

LOL, I'm guilty of skinny jeans. But I find them comfortable and...I just feel awkward wearing normal jeans o.o. Byaaa.
...I also have a v neck. Yeah whatever.
...oh...and I'm getting gauges. Kl.

But yeah, the one think I hate above all else is jeans below the ass with belt combo.
I have a mate and we all tell him how fucking stupid he looks, but he insists the chicks dig it.

Hmm...chicks...DO you dig it?!

Might make a thread, actually. Hmm.

One that's gotten pretty popular here is a scarf with a hood on it. The hood has little woolen ears and buttons on it placed to look like eyes. I guess it's meant to look "cute" but frankly, it looks ridiculous. Why even have a hood on a scarf in the first place?
..w...what? o_____o can I see a picture, please? xD

Leggings need either a skirt or shorts over them, so we don't have to see your unsightly, flabby are when you walk, girls. Same goes for jeggings. Big no for fat girls.

Of course, if it's a nice arse, then it's not so bad.

I know I sound shallow, but I am it's the truth. If it's a nice bum then no will feel nauseous. If it's flabby it makes people want to claw their eyes out.

I'd second you on that mate, whenever I see a person wearing them Im tempted to tread on their toes like I was born to do it.

They protect your eyes from the sun, what's not to get..? >_>

The only thing that "piss me off" would be keeping animals, just for fashion. Carrying around little dogs, making their muscles wither etc, that's something to be pissed off about.
Someone is wearing ugly glasses, so what? If ugly clothing is something that makes you angry, then you probably have some issues... :/

It's not just sunglasses, but those big ones that cover most of the wearer's face.
These fucking things:
Are your eyes really that large? Do they take up most of your face? What are you, a fucking goblin?

Well, opinions vary. Maybe it's just that I'm 35 and was a kid in that era but I actually like 80s fashion, for me it's always been Disco-type fashion that bugged me.

I don't think there is anything in paticular that bothers me that I can think of apperance wise. The issue is usually a matter of a person being able to pull off a look or not as opposed to the clothing itself. My problem with trends is when you get the copycats who just look stupid doing something, even if it works for some people.

Things like Crocs don't especially bother me, the whole point of those is to put comfort over apperance, and I can actually respect that. If people are wearing them because they are comfortable for them, that's fine, if they are wearing them for some style related reason then I think we're looking at stupidity.

Sometimes fashion statements bug me even if they look decent, due to the meaning involved. I tend to not be a fan of "dressing for your politics" so to speak. Someone who dresses in multi-colored "traditional african" garb to make an empowerment statement is an idiot when they can't pull off the look (which a lot of people can) as an example. For some people it looks decent and is fine though, the problem isn't the clothes themselves.

As far as things like the "broken 3D glasses" that's a grunge thing, I think it started with Nirvana on one of their album covers or posters. It's not supposed to make someone look smart, so much as be hip by wearing something that should rightfully be considered garbage. The statement of wearing regular 3d glasses, especially the old paper ones, is something almost nobody can pull off, but it's an artsy thing about seeing the world differantly from everyone else.

The Fedora thing started with Columbine and the "Black Trenchcoat Mafia" it's right up there with the black dusters, and/or little tommy gun pins. A lot of people can't pull these various fashion statements off and it looks stupid. The intent (like the african thing above) was originally to protest the treatment of those who were differant, and show some subtle support for the killers, or at least why they did it as opposed to what they did. That's a whole loaded political can of worms, and truthfully I think a lot of people who do it don't even "get" why the trend started to become part of nerd chic to begin with. It's kind of funny to see some nerd wearing a fedora, who loudly, passionatly, and vocally speaks out against Columbine if asked, which has happened. If you want to make that statement I actually encourage people to go with the Tommy Gun pin (which are becoming a little harder to get) since it's not dependant on your abillity to make the look work. Few things are more pathetic than fat kids in capes (or black dusters). I'm also far less judgemental of this paticular statement than I probably should be, simply because while I don't care for the killings, I think society missed the point entirely and has been bringing this kind of thing on themselves. We really need to see some changes to the school system, and enforcement of school policies, even if it leads to uncomfortable issues like schools losing money/donations due to say expelling entire athletic teams.

Baseball caps. Especially when people leave the stickers on them like it's some sort of badge of honor. It is almost impossible to wear one and not look like a douchebag.

I must admit a fondness for hipster clothing though. Stay away from my scarves and canvas jackets!
Really? I regularly wear one, and it's quite comfortable.

Well, different stroke, eh?

OT: I could make an entire list of the awful things Junior High kids wear.

I'll start it off, but I will never be able to complete it.


Skinny jeans(on guys)
Uggs
Sweat pants with the waist bands rolled down (???)
Sweat pants in general
Tapout shirts/ shirts advertising their love of things they don't even know about/ random band shirts
Designer clothes in general. They don't look unique in any way, except for having a seagull and a random pattern on the front, and cost $200.
...and many more!


I could go on all day like this, but my tolerance for using HTML is running low.

Girls wearing a belt Athena style... You know, when the belt is positioned right under their boobs..
First of all, why wear a belt on your shirt/blouse? Afraid it might fall up?
Second, the greek god Athena used the belt to make men fall in love with her or something like that.. I dont really think it works..
