Fashion Dos & Don'ts

HAHAHAHA I'm watching this show in the morning while having my breakfast: E! 50 Fashion Do's & Don'ts.

What cracks me up the most is the "Lap desease" - where one wears the bottom too tight and the fat got pushed over the top and flow over the lap.... like a muffin! XD (that is what E! said)

I think it is true. I saw several threads in the forum where people complains about having too much fat on their tummy etc, but they actually not. Everyone has some fat around the hips and that's how women are built. We are cushiony :D hahaha

The problem some didn't realize is that you can't just wishing you are a size smaller. So instead of focusing on what FITS, they too wound up about some numbers that is unseen by others. :p

Just my morning thoughts ^_^

Lap disease, too funny!

We always called it "Dunlap Disease" for guys, because their belly "dun lapped" over their pants.

For women it's known as "muffin top"!

Hip huggers did that the first time around as well...Give me the glorious eighties and high waisted pants...:D

It's because people don't buy pants in the right size. They try squeezing into something smaller.

I have some pants that make me go 'muffin top', but I ALWAYS hide it with a sweater or thick shirt.

I think girls sometimes really don't know it looks like that, especially when it's not really bad!

Oh my. You speak to a discussion in my house.

My spouse gained a ton of weight, but refuses to go shopping for clothes because it's a waste of money. So, he wears his shirts POPPING open over his stomach, his pants worn under his armpits while the rolls oooooooze over the top.

Recently I said, "Love, that looks unpleasant."

He said, "Well, there's not much I can do about it immediately."

"Yes, there is," I said. "You can buy clothes in a bigger size."

He began his usual debate with the waste-of-money and I said, "Dude, you look like a fat man who is pretending he's not fat. If you get some clothes that fit you, you'll look like a big man."

This seemed something of a revelation to him.

I have another fashion faux pas:

Tucking in your shirt then pulling your pants waaaaay up. Oh yeah... THAT'S attractive.

all I gotta say:

crocs.

I don't care how comfortable they are.

I also hate mini skirts and Uggs. Really Uggs with anything, though no offense to anybody who wears them- I just don't like them. -___-;;

It drives me crazy when I go out with my friends and I see these girls in the bar, wearing clothes that are 2 or more sizes too small. I try to look go when I go out. I stand in front of the mirror and look at myself from every angle. If there is any flab sticking out, I change or cover it up.

Do these girls not have mirrors?

oh how i dont miss the "lets show off the top of our thongs" thing...that was awful!!

I dont understand the wear the black bra with a white wifebeater thing (on a lighter skinned chick i mean, so it shows through)...whats the point of that?!

OMG, I seriously did a poll about this in my journal yesterday.. *wishes she had added ugly footwear to choices*

Today I met a girl with both a muffin top and a thong hanging out (at a 6 year olds birthday party no less!) with a shirt that kept riding up in the back, for me, that barely beat ugly shoes!

:D

I never knew what they were called til I just googled them now, but I dont like uggs either. my boyfriend complains everytime he sees someone wearing them. I dont think they are that bad but I definately wouldnt buy a pair. no offence meant to anyone who likes them.

Ditto on the Uggs. I think they're grim. My husband also complains whenever he sees a girl in them, and he's a guy who prefers girl next door types to overly made up girls in heels. He just thinks (and I agree) that they're unflattering and they seem to make girls walk really strangely and in an awkward manner, like they have to roll their feet inwards when they take a step? Argh. What I don't get is that everyone I know thinks they're hideous, and yet they sell so many of the darn things!

Has anyone seen the show What not to Wear?  It's one of my faves on TLC.

First of all it's those tight or tapered pants that are in style this year.  They are meant to go INSIDE BOOTS so the body is more proportioned.  No, I see tons of women with "chicken thigh syndrome" walking around in sneakers.

Muffin Top is another one of my pet peeves, I am so uncomfortable in pants that cut my waist I don't know how these girls do it.

Men that wear shirts that are too short and their beer bellies show from underneath.  There's nothing wrong with being overweight guys, but please, don't dress like a slob.. that is a total turnoff. 

People that wear dress pants that are too long and drag on the floor.  It's okay with jeans, but please, your office clothes should not be covered in dust and ripped at the bottom as well.

Women that don't wear bras... sorry but I WILL stare cause it's noticable.

People that wear ponytails on the side of their heads... okay it looks like some weird growth, get out of the 80's please.

People with too many piercings.  I like peircings, I have five earlobe piercings a helix (top of ear) and one navel ring myself.  But... when you have a labret (chin) and two madonnas (top lip, off centre) a nose ring and eyebrow ring you look a little overdone.. not to mention that you'd have to avoid all magnetized items.

Ewwww. I saw an old one get resurrected today:

Stretch pants with a mini top.

It was bad in the 80's. It didn't get better.

Sarah, AMEN on the Crocs!

My God, it's insane here in Chicago; I mean EVERYBODY's wearing the stupid things!

Hip huggers did that the first time around as well...Give me the glorious eighties and high waisted pants...:D -- Kathygator

First off, Kathy, are you SERIOUS??? God, I hate those 80s pants! I REFUSE to be in style if that's what it's gonna take. Low riders were THE BEST thing that ever happened to me and I'm never gonna give em up! :P Of course, I also had a VERY DIFFICULT time giving up peg-legged pants in the 80s (e.g., skinny jeans).

I HATE 80s fashion, though I was a teen in the 80s. YUK!

Uggs (AND Wookie boots!), thongshow, skinny jeans (ESPECIALLY on men) -- HATE HATE HATE it! Oh, also that syle of the boys' jeans hanging WAAAAAAY below their boxers. I think that one's over now, ALTHOUGH I actually saw a guy at the gym with that going on! Crocs such as well, more so when it's a boy or man wearing bright colored ones! Yes, I've seen it!

LOVE "What not to Wear" and I actually DO like a tank with the bra straps showing. hee hee -- only if it's a loud color bra though; otherwise it looks like a bra is hanging out of your shirt.

Agreed, crocs, Uggs, big guys in little clothing, thongshow, its all horrifying!
Whats also bugging me is the fashion in new zealand at the moment!
Its completely psychotic.
Its all poka-dots and skinny jeans and those huge glasses with spotty headbands, oh my god, i personally am i lover of simple but stylish clothing.
Give up on the poka-dot people! seeing girls running around in green shirts with yellow dots is just horrifying.
It's not pretty.
And those who aren't dressed in spots are usually either Goths or Business people.
Can we have some people dressed in Good clothes please?

Sorry to all you poka-dot lovers and huge buggy classes fans :)

Cycling shorts. They are bad enough on someone riding a bike, but an absolute disgrace when worn as leisure clothing. Bad on skinny people, nasty on people that weigh a little too much;-)

I dont mind bra straps showing either, i like my tank tops..i meant the whitebeaters with a black (or other loud color) bra completly showing through so you can see everything :-P that just seems silly to me...its extra fun if the chick is wearing a tie with it!

damn avril!

and I dont get the hugeass sunglasses either....unless they are aviators..those are ok :D

oh and pointy toe pumps that look like bad wallpaper (with like flowers and crap)..dont get it.

What ever happened to skillfully tailored clothing?  I swear, people look like sacks of laundry tied around the middle, and that includes skinny people.  Some of the clothes at the Golden Globe Awards were stupid looking.  Wrinkled, too tight, fits funny clothes are UGLY.
