    I think anyone who wears religious iconography without having a shred of faith in that religion, and wearing it as a fashion accessory, is a complete idiot.

    ...Brown.

    Most people, particularly girls, seem to be wearing brown trousers, brown shoes, brown handbags, brown scarves etc. and these disgusting pastel/floral print blouses with tacky gold buttons, buttoned right up to the top of the neck. It's granny wear.
    They also have this bizarre, deliberate 'messy up-do' thing, involving grasping their hair in a messy clump and pinning it on top of their heads. It's apparently meant to look casually classy, but it instead looks like a half-assed attempt to be formal. I don't even know why they're trying to be formal anyway, as they normally spend most of their time sat on garden walls with cans of beer.
    Yes, exactly! The wishy-washy colours drive me mad, it's all you can get in most of the fashion shops these days, and the gold buttons :ahhhhh:
    The hair thing is ridiculous, half the girls I see have it like that, all practically identical copies of each other. It's miraculous because I wouldn't even know how to do my hair like that.
    No offence to anyone who does wear this stuff though, you probably hate my clothes haha

    People obsessed with wearing vintage clothing either from Topman's ridiculous collection or from second hand (vintage) shops.

    How does anyone think this looks good?

    The actual 'vintage' ones I think can look good, but hey that's just my opinion

    shoes that look like:
    Attachment 163167

    toms or whatever they are called. they just look really bad and I haven't seen one person that isn't a model, pull off wearing em
    But at least TOMS aim to try and give back, for every pair of shoes sold, friends of Toms donates a pair to a person in need...

    I agree. as a Roman Catholic it doesn't really annoy me but it confuses me why so many people at my school wear crosses and bracelets with crucifixes when they are Atheist.

    Believe what you want to believe, its cool, but i don't get wearing religious items if you are not religious lol.

    1. Paul's Boutique jackets. They annoy me sooooo much especially when the girl wearing it thinks she's classy and/ or unique.

    2. Those bracelets with loads of pictures of Jesus, when most people who wear them aren't even religious!

    maybe because they like the shape.. and it's not as if it's an icon in itself. religious figures like jesus and like buddah for buddhists are obviously out of bounds if you don't believe in those religions.. but a cross is a shape and pattern.. it only holds significant meaning to those that believe in it.

    I disagree. I think florals and pastel colours are good and so are the gold buttons.. I guess that's just taste.

    I wear shoes like that! Lol I find them incredibly comfy but because they're cheap and I don't wear them with socks they only last about 5 weeks espadrilles my ones are called though, never heard of TOMS.

    Is Paul's boutique that PB thing I see on bags i.e. I 'heart' PB? I work in Phonebank for a bank and I always think the person is saying they love Phonebank lol

    Probably been said but skinny jeans are a pretty useless form of clothing, too constraining.

    Yes they are very similar, TOMS however is just the brand name for the shoes they make, it was originally a non for profit business however I'm not sure exactly how it works as of now, I'm sure you could find out more by googling

    And yes the 'PB' you see on bags is that of Pauls Boutique haha, they do sell other bags too without the 'PB' on as well

    Men in skinny jeans. Seriously - HOW?
    Shorts with bum hanging out - don't understand why they want everyone to see it!
    Fake orange tan - Gross!
    Maxi dresses - I'm sure I'll be in the minority with this one but I hate them and they're everywhere (or were).
    Floral prints - not my thing.

    I'm sure there are others that I can't think of at the moment though.

    I went to global gathering last weekend and I'd say the majority of girls were wearing the same thing, just with different prints. Most with Denim bum showing shorts and those crop top bralet things. Seriously, I thought it was a heard of sheep Rita Ora's/Rihanna's.

    I'm not a fan of these either! Not quite sure why everybody adores them.

    You're the only one thus far I've ever come across who agrees with me. At least someone does!

    I think pregnant women look good in them. But no one else really.
