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

Slashed jeans, I've better ones that I use for gardening and decorating.
Having sweatshirt hoods up even on boiling hot days.

How times change. I can remember putting lemon juice on mine to try and fade my freckles

What l dislike intensely, womens clothing outlets you can buy online where each model is holding her phone in front of her wearing whatever and pouting as well. ?

Nothing to do with Markle, I think that was just an excuse for the papers (the DM) to print another picture of Meghan

Ripped jeans
Slug eyebrows
Voluminous sleeves

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.

Coastguard, couldn't agree more.
Trouble is the shops seem flooded with things aimed at the very young.
And its difficult to find things that aren't messed about with in some way.
I just want classic clothes that are cut well and look nice.

I’ve hidden that thread, along with all of the others written by that poster

I’ve done the freckle thing myself

Painting on Freckles?
Didn't people used to paint on fake beauty spots years ago?

Anything with a stepped hem particularly those awful dresses short at the front and long at the back. Just having 2 blouses altered to have hems same length all round.

Nobody is demanding agreement over anything.
I myself like booycuts some have said they don't.
So what? I'm not getting arsed about it.
I agree with disagreement.
What I find a bit off is when peopke come on a thread with the sole purpose of pouring scorn on it. Its basically a way of disrupting the thread

There was a thread recently about why people do this.

Huge puffy fake lips. The weird trend for painting on fake freckles (to look like Meghan Markle apparently)

People are allowed to disagree Snowberry

Amber made a valid point.

You can’t demand agreement and tell others to sling their hook!

I’m really into style and beauty; but I can’t get riled up about what others wear.
It’s not as if there isn’t enough choice out there.

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

Uh, this is called Style & Beauty?
Where people like to, yknow, discuss styles and beauty trends?

If it annoys you best to find some other topics to frequent.

Chewbacca I've never minded cold shoulder tops.
Especially when I read in a magazine that the shoulders is one of the few places on the body that doesn't age, they don't get wrinkles, or get saggy.
It's true when you think about it.
Hands and forearms can get wrinkly and get age spots, upper arms go a bit bingo wingy as we get older, then there's back fat.
But shoulders stay young!

Tattoos
Face piercings
Trout pouts
Dark roots on bleached hair
White trainers
Jeans ripped to shreds
Rollers in hair outdoors
Pyjamas outdoors
Fake over sized eyelashes
Glad to see the back of these trends.

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

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’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!

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

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.

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.

They never went out of fashion with me!

Poppyred

Curlywhirly Boot cut jeans are back in fashion!

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 ?

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……
