I was wondering what retro or vintage fashion you really couldn't stand to see people wear.
For me it was Acid washed jeans that were way too tight and the 'preppy' look, ugh!

This should not be on the head of anyone over the age of 6. Sadly some do hang on to the 'do.

Striped or plaid pants.  8-P

Also that baggy look with the pants going down to the knees. I see kids trying to walk with pants like that and they are really going to have some serious back pain in later years.

I agree, Cat.  If your back pocket is behind your knee, your pants are toodamnlow!
My fashion fad that I never want to see again is BIG 80's hair!  My yearbook is hilarious and just a bit scary.

The strange (or is that sad) thing is that I still wear my hair the way I did in high school (just color it now).  :-\\

It's not sad if it's the best look for your hair.  There were some girls who did not really follow the trend and just let their hair do what it naturally does.  I, however, had the new wave asymetrical haircut that was dyed a crazy pink for a while  ;D

Haircuts that had the "tail" back in the 80's.  It was worse when they'd try to peroxide the thing. :P

oh...but she's incredibly HOT. ;)

Fashion is the one thing I was fairly clueless on growing up (ironic, since I paid such great attention to everything else in pop culture, lol). Although I do remember the ripped jeans and frizzy hair look, as well as other things circa 1987/'88...there wasn't anything about me at all that identified me with a time until at least like 1994.

I always liked most '90s fashion. Other than the haircuts, or the most extreme stuff, it's not dated in a laughable way today at all, because it was fairly laid back. In fact, to this day I dress fairly Nineties-like - plaid or flannel shirts are a personal favorite. Jeans and T shirts are timeless too.

I guess the point of the question is that, if there was a fashion I didn't like, it wasn't anything I remember firsthand.

I think she is gorgeous, it is that NCIS persona that drives me nuts.

Hey, my seven year old cousin has that hairstyle. I actually think it's cute!

Any fashions from the 70s, I cannot stand. The clothes, shoes and hairstyles from that era are just repulsive to me. I find bell bottoms, big Afro hair, white disco suits and platform shoes to be completely hideous!

Well duh...    ::) she is seven ... (although she is pushing it).  Wait and see how you feel about it when she is 30 and still has them.

agree

I cringe at "Brady Bunch", '70's "Soul Train", "Saturday Night Fever", etc.  8-P

No argument there.  I hate all that as well

I hated Gaucho pants back in the late 70s  and I hate those Capri pants they wear now.  I hated the Platform shoes, too from the 70s.

Omg, the 70s kill me. I mean I am in pain when I look at photos of anyone from back then. I mean all our great singers had an afro and/or bellbottoms phase--Michael Jackson, Prince, Donny Osmond, Barry White, etc...!

I don't think that's too bad;it IS practical too.I don't care for 'fros,wedge and bowl cuts on most people however.

I also hate the faux-hawk.
Just do it.

I used to fix my hair in that one sided ponytail, if I wasn't wearing pigtails.  ;D

I don't think it is strange.  My hair is still the same, too. :)

Platform shoes for men!!!

Why is that?  What is the style? Ever thought of an Ambush Makeover just to see what you would look like with a little something different.  I have changed styles quite a few times. I don't know if it reflected an outward change or inward.  I do know it always felt good, and it is always fun going out and buying a bunch of new earrings to suit the style.  Oh, and a PS, a little bit of vamp does weird things to significant others, in a good way  ;D

I haven't changed it because it is easy.  I wash, brush and go.  I have tried short hair but it makes my head look like a beach ball on my shoulders so I stick with just past the shoulders straight and boring.  I don't have a significant other so the vamp would do no good on this end. ;D

I always wanted REALLY LONG hair but my hair only grows so long and then it breaks.  :\'(  However, with the length I do have, lets me do all sorts of different things with it. Usually, I just let it hang there but when I do dress to the nines (which I do a few times a year), then I change the look a bit.
