WORD! Crocs are so terrible.

I think the PJs thing depends on what they're wearing. I wear them out all the time, but I don't sleep in them. I love to rock a tank top with a pair of men's PJ pants. Very comfy, and also generally have pockets. Which while I find incredibly convenient for holding my keys and cell phone, I never understood why there were pockets if the only intent was to sleep in them.

Gauchos, or skorts. You are either wearing city shorts OR a skirt, NOT BOTH! (Thank the Great Mother their second incarnation is going away.)

I once came across a 'fashion through history' book at the library, and they did some commentary about gauchos in the 1970's, about them not being flattering to ANY female shape or form, and their presence will never be seen again (book was published in 1996). Right under it, someone had written in pencil: '2005 - Gauchos make their appearance once again and civilization fell.' I wish I knew who did it, I wanted to kiss them.

Real whalebone corsets as EVERYDAY mandatory wear, I'm glad that will never come back. Number one killer of women - miscarriages, fainting and cracking one's head open, rupture of internal organs, oxygen deprivation, etc.

Oh, and whose idea was it to make footie pajamas for ADULTS??? I, mean, REALLY ... !!!

I know way too many people who would buy footie pajamas as adults just to be able to scoot across the carpet and shock people, lol

Footie pajamas - for adult babies. Why not? They are adorable.


Wearing pants under a person's tush (and sometimes even lower) should go out of style. Very unattractive, inappropriate, and unprofessional.

I can't stand the skirts that can be mistaken for belts. I also can't stand those eyebrow rings where the balls on each end are so huge and take up like, half the person's face. I think this looks so freaking stupid and I have no idea how these people expect to be taken seriously. I know people who wear bars like that and I just wanna rip those stupid balls out of their face.

Boxers worn as shorts...faded, stained boxers worn as shorts...it was an eye stinging sight. She wore faded slightly yellowed, red and white striped boxers and he was wearing his pants BELOW his ass belted to stay there. He was wearing tidy whiteys my eyes began to bleed.

I have a bunch of scrunchies but they are scavenged from my daughters and I use them when I clean my bathrooms.

I definitely agree about the leggings. I'm okay with skinny jeans on skinny people, but the vast majority of women (and adolescent girls) I see wearing them don't have the right body type.

Pretty much any fashion from the 1990's needs to stay there. I remember when it was trendy to wear a white t-shirt under a spaghetti strap dress, and pair it with tennis shoes. (In my defense, I was in middle school at the time...but still.)

God, I cannot WAIT until high-school boys (and some older guys) stop wearing their pants around their asses. And Crocs can go die.

And I never knew that scrunchies ever went out of style - unless we're just referring to the larger, more noticeable ones? Mine are all very low-key.

The low, baggy pants. If you have to walk like a penguin to keep your pants on, you may have forgotten that form should follow function.

Girls wearing those super short cotton cheer-leading shorts two sizes too small, and everywhere they go. I can accept the idea that girls wear them to work out. But if you are out of high school, or for that matter, outside of the gym, they don't belong anywhere near your ass.

Ed Hardy on men in their 30's and 40's. I don't like Ed Hardy AT ALL, but when it's on an older guy, it's a big red flag for a serious prick. Seriously, you should be able to dress yourself by now. Stop taking tips from your 13 year-old son and his Jersey Shore obsession.

And this random pet peeve is due to having a husband in hospitality: Parents that let their tween and teen girls wear previously mentioned too small cheer-leading shorts and almost nothing of a tank top when they go to get breakfast at a hotel lobby. You're in public, not your bedroom. Put some damned clothes on and quit giving everyone that looks at your almost-naked body the stink eye for noticing.

Oh my gosh, yes, Jaimes! The low shorts. I saw someone the other day wearing pants that were right under the ass.

The pockets hanging out of the short-shorts.

Jeggings.

Visors at night. What the f*** are you even doing? Is the low-light bar glare off your Jagger shots too blinding, bro?

As a wedding photographer, my HUGE pet peeve. Sunglasses at a wedding. An indoor wedding. At night. Who are you impressing when you bump into the wedding cake table?

I saw a blog where the girls wore them for a wedding. They used shower poufs under the hair.

Another one that hasn't died yet but needs to: Mom jeans. Usually pleated jeans with tapered legs, leaving the wearer looking like she has GIGANTIC hips and a flat ass.

And in defense of Crocs...the new styles actually look pretty nice. And they are soooo comfy. I need a lot of support in my shoes, and the only ones I can wear comfortably without any insoles are Cros or those Shape-Ups from Sketchers. But the original style Crocs can crawl off and die. They look like duck feet.

I'm not fond of the man purse, either. Saw one of those today.

And I had a woman walk into the store today wearing an awful sweatshirt and pajama pants that were a few sizes too big and had a huge, gaping hole (larger than my hand) on the inside of the right knee. I mean, really? Ew. Any ripped clothing should be tossed or turned into rags if it can't be repaired.
