Trends you'll be glad to see the back of.

"Cold shoulder" tops; they just look ridiculous to me.
Wokery in all its forms.
Groucho Marx eyebrows as a fashion statement
The apparent need to go everywhere gripping a cup of coffee in one hand and a mobile phone in the other.

Making loads of assumptions here, but aren't these trends often aimed at younger people though and not intended for (speaking for myself here and I assume many of the folk on Gransnet) the older generation?

My parents moaned about my clothes and music when I was a teenager, but it wasn't for them....it was for teenagers.

Perhaps it was ever thus. Ripped knees and fancy eyebrows aren't for us and never were meant to be.

AGAA4 seems pastels are on the way back in

Hope so ?

Baggy shapeless tops and dresses
Skinny jeans
High rise trousers/jeans

Am waiting for boot cut jeans to come back and as I have no shoulders - shoulder pads!

My biggest problem is seeing something I like then realising I will look like a vicar's wife spouse in it, with apologies to all cool and well dressed vicar's spouses of course. I hate the fact that the shoes which look great on my daughter make me look as if I have some hideous foot problem and have to wear orthopaedic shoes. I don't get the point of cut our shoulders on tops, it just looks as as if your vest has slipped off your shoulders. I have no problem with what other, younger people wear as I no doubt looked a 'right ticket' when I was a youngster, but thought I was the bees knees. What I hate is that being older and fatter not as slim as I once was. Oh, and I hate mid rise jeans and trousers, I don't want to see anyone's knickers.

Lucca,

No need to take things so personally.

I’m
Not. Just thought we had already done the baggy clothes white trainers thing last week

GillT, I wear mid rise jeans when I can get them but I promise you'll never see my knickers.

*GillT*, I wear mid rise jeans when I can get them but I promise you'll never see my knickers.

well, I'm glad to hear it! Don't you find you are forever hoiking them up? I would be.

Boots in summertime
Dresses that make you look Amish
Ripped jeans

Older people trying to sound young be using terms the young use I remember my mother using the words fab and cool and my father looking at her as if she had lost her mind.
Cars as big as mini buses that take up so much room in parking bays.

I love the dress and trainers look and it is so comfortable.

I don't like the jeans,striped top and Skechers look which is common amongst older people.

face masks

I love wearing white trainers with a dress! Agree about the boxy tops or anything baggy. I don't like the slug eyebrows either. I can't bear those false nails/talons which are about an inch long. That's a pet hate of mine. We have just been told in work that we're changing from 'Dear Sir/Madam' on our letters to inclusive pronouns. It hasn't been decided exactly what yet. I dread to think. Wokery is everywhere!

Massive fake nails

I love white trainers with whatever. So much better than little “court shoes” that so many older women wear. I can’t stand Sketchers or Hotter shoes either.
I’ll run for cover now……

Brill! Not seen any on anyone over 30 though? Hopefully they will filter down to our age group soon. Oh, and mid-rise jeans don't show my knickers - as I'm only 5', mid-rise are like high-rise on me ?

They never went out of fashion with me!

Marks and Spencer have been selling boot cut jeans for over a year. I have a a black pair. They are from the *Magic Jeans*range.

Very large fake eyelashes. It does seem to be mostly young ladies, but my goodness... ease up a bit!

I find them distracting.

The loose dress and sneakers has not caught on here. I don't think I have seen it at all.

People being weirdly judgemental about what other people do with their lives and bodies.

I’m one of those people with large feet so I look silly with size 8 trainers with a dress or skirt! I’ll stick to my flat Mary Janes!

My bugbear isn’t really a trend, it’s been around for years - three quarter length sleeves. I’ve got long arms, and the bottoms of the sleeves often sit in the bend of my elbow, can’t tell you how often I’ve tried something on and not bought it because of this, it’s so uncomfortable when I bend my arms.
Also don’t like the big, clumpy boots with really thick soles that are so popular. I’m a size six and a half/seven, and they make my feet look like the proverbial boats.
And I agree with the extra long false nails and extra thick eyelashes. There’s a lovely looking young woman works in my local Boots, and you can barely see her actual eyes through her lashes, it looks ever so daft imo. Plus, they would annoy the hell out of me.

I don't like rings at the end of the nose, I find them quite off putting.
