I HATE pantyhose. Absolutely hate them. Refuse to wear them. The crotch usually stays somewhere around the middle of my thighs, and I am forever pulling them up or waddling around like a damn duck. I'm really small (5 feet, 103 lbs) so even "A" sizes are usually too big on me. Plus I'm Irish, which translates to casper-the-ghost fair-skin, so even the nudest of nude hose causes color disparity with the rest of my body. When I say I never wear hose, I mean I NEVER wear hose. If it's cold and I wear a skirt, it's usually knee-length or slightly above with knee-or-calf-length high-helled boots and a sweater- looks stylish and pulled together, not trashy. However, I'm a total wimp when it comes to cold weather, so usually I'm in pants. In the spring and summer, I wear skirts a lot, but they're almost always around knee-length and I wear them with cute flipflops or open-toed sandals.

I HATE HATE HATE bra straps with spaghetti-strap tanks. Why didn't these people's mothers inform them of this, the most basic of all fashion rules?

Also-

Thong lines. Come on, you're smart enough to wear a thong in the effort of preventing panty lines. If you can STILL SEE THE THONG, it means a)your clothes are too damn tight, or b) go without, if the outfit allows (pants, long dress).

First of all, those "seasonal" sweaters. Like a Halloween sweater made from black yarn with orange jack-o-lanterns on them or a Christmas sweater in green yarn with santas or reindeers on them. I hope I don't offend anyone who has them, I guess I just prefer something a little more understated.

I can't stand those things either! There's no need to be that cutesy. And besides, why buy something you can only wear once a year?

Mine fashion pet peeves:
-Black shoes with white socks (Michael Jackson was NOT a fashion icon)
-Black shoes with a brown belt and black bag...your shoes should match your bag and belt
-Fanny packs...'nuff said!
-Socks with sandles
-Women who are overweight (like 80+ pounds overweight) who wear midriff-bearing tops...if I wanted to see rolls, I'd go to a bakery!

ZTAngel... thanks for mentioning the belt!! I hate it when shoes don't match the belt! That also means the shoes, belt, etc. should match the coloring of the outfit.
Also, the black shoes with white socks!! yuck! especially when the pants ride up when you're sitting down (which is actually something else I can't stand, buy pants that are long enough!) And if you're wearing a midriff shirt, or a tight shirt that shows the exact measurements of your torso, then stand up straight! don't stick out that gut, that's mostly for younger girls tho. WHich brings me to something else I don't like, but it's entirely a personal thing, I don't like those preteen girls who dress like they're 22! They don't have a chest, a butt, hips, or anything! Just wait until they hit puberty.

i actually left an unsigned note on the desk of a girl at work who was wearing a short sleeved purple flowery dress (in the dead of winter) with black hose and white white dress shoes. i just said something like "please rethink todays fashion statement". it hurt me to see her.

i also hate the tank top and bra strap combo - as well as the low riding jeans or pants or skirt with 3/4 of your thong showing - save it for the strip club!

i have to disagree with the nude hose - if i have to wear hose, which is practically never - but if i do, i wear nude ones bc my skin tone is very easy to match.

i dont know if this has been discussed - but i hate big white purses - no print - and HUGE. fanny packs are a given

I am never perfect and I am sure I have offended someone sometime with my outfit, but in general this is how I feel:

I have to say I hate white anytime. I do where it to Ritual, but that's it! We have to wear hose and I have closed toed shoes for those events!

Winter white in winter is pretty on the rightbody type...not my body, but certian other's I can see it being OK.

Nude hose...I hate them as well. Bone hose....Yes!

Hose with open toed shoes are a no no!

Hose always...depends on the climate and outfit. You never see models in hose 24/7. Hose after 5....again...climate and outfit.

College Freshman pants on a College Junior body....after you gain weight get over it and buy clothes that fit!

Tube Tops/Backless Shirts/Halters....in XL or larger????? Spandex is not a right!

Any underwear lines...again underwear should fit as clothes do, if you need to go up a size do so! Thong lines are the worst!

If you wear light clothes(i.e. White/pastels) BUY A SLIP!

Ankle boots with short skirts....I know I have seen it in magazines, but it looks strange to me.

Is that enough? InStyle is the best mag for all this tips too!

Ok so hose or no hose

i really hate hose -- the thought of having to wear them makes me cry cuz then my shoes dont fit

yes i have very weird feet -- i have to have narrow shoes --- and they dont come cheap -- and sometimes when i find narrow width shoes my feet still slip and slide all around in the shoe
and it is quite painful esp when you lose a shoe and twist an ankle i hate hate hate hate pantyhose

and what do you wear with a black sleeveless dress

if nude and suntan pantyhose are so wrong what the hell DO you wear with it

cuz black hose on your legs and Stark white arms dont look good either

panty hose arent fair!!!

why cant we progress past the dark ages of womens torture er fashion

Depending on the dress and where you are wearing it to. If its like a cute, everyday dress, cute sandals with NO hose look nice. Personally, i never ever wear hose. If i wear a dress or a skirt to class or work, i wear sandals with it. If its a nightly occasion, like maybe a formal- the dress is normally long so i end up not wearing hose again.

I am fair skinned and nude colored hoses never match my skin tone and look so gross!

I cant remember if i mentioned this before, but sandals and hose is a no no in my opinion!

i was just brought up knowing you dont do that!

Peaches-n-Cream · #40 04-09-2002, 10:06 PM

I'm still going to wear my nude hose! I don't care what anyone else says so there.

You can wear black hose with a black dress.

Personally I think this depends on the outfit and the sandal...if it's a dressy sandal then pantyhose are okay but not with trendy, casual sandals.

i have to agree with the big no-no on open toed shoes with hose..people i work with do it, and i just want to scream its so awful..in fact one woman today wore open toed like, thong kinda leather sandals(they were dressy, but a thong-toe) WITH HOSE. i wanted to cry when i saw it b/c it was so awful

glad this thread came back up b/c i thought of another pet peeve of mine:

if you are over the age of 5 please don't wear ANYTHING with cartoon characters on it(no offense to anyone who does this) i just always think its tacky when i see adults wearing like, a tweety bird or winnie the pooh shirt...

RubberSoul · #43 04-10-2002, 08:33 AM

I hate hose. You can always see them even when they are a matching nude, and I think they just look gross. I wear them only when absolutely necessary.

I don't think anyone looks good in white pants. There is just something about white pants that looks cheap to me, unless they are $300 tailored white wool pants by some designer like the kind of thing Celine Dion wears. Even then I am not crazy about them. And the only shoes that should be allowed to be white are tennis shoes. I have never seen a pair of white shoes that didn't look horrid and cheap to me.

Other pet peeves: I agree with whoever said super-skinny girls in really tight pants....I don't think there is anything grosser than someone who can stand there with her feet together and still have three inches' space between her thighs. YUCK.

Around here, anytime the temperature rises above about 45 you see these dummies running around in shorts and t-shirts. Why are they freezing and/or kidding themselves? My mom always used to say that they thought their bodies were so hot and amazing that they just couldn't wait to show them off to everyone (although the offenders here are usually guys!!!!)

XOAlumXO · #44 04-10-2002, 09:00 AM

Some of my pet peeves:
I think pants that are "too short" look really dumb. I am not talking about capri pants- I love those. I am talking about regular jeans that really do look like high waters. I am also a big fan or boot cut or flare jeans- I really don't like the jeans that taper to your ankles. YUK!
Also- panty lines are a no-no!!
I am not a big fan of white sandals either- but living in FL- sandals are a MUST! Just make sure you have a nice pedicure!!

Dionysus · #45 04-10-2002, 09:46 AM

Shorts w/ snow boots.
Lip liner w/ clear lip gloss.
11 yo girls dressing like 25 yo.
Females w/ big chains.
That logo with that monkey w/ braces.
Rings on every finger.
Wearing sandals when it's 20 degrees.
Wearing mini-skirts at yardwork service projects.

Wearing the same color hat, dress, hoes, and shoes.
Jeans made specially to show butt cleavage! WTF?

Using a cane when you're not disabled.
