Fun thread. Most of the things on my list might be items that look good on other people, they just don't look flattering on me, or they aren't my taste:
Colors: Olive Green, Taupe, Mustard, Mauve (unflattering with my skin tone)
Styles: Distressed Jeans, Huge Statement Necklaces, Wedge Shoes/Boots, Cold Shoulders, Moto Jackets (on me), High Heels (on me), Huge Purses.
Bad on Everyone: Clothes that don't fit, especially if they're 2 sizes too small.

We'll be picky together. On your list are only two things I wore this summer and I'm not entirely sure that I'm not *done* with those two as well. (Maxi dress and ankle pant).
Only speaking about my own style and what I like. Other people look fine in styles that just do NOT work on my 5'5" overly buxom self.

Very interesting thread.... thanks!
Fringe, bell bottoms (this includes boot-cut), distressed jeans, ponchos (I was a young adult in the 60's -- been there, done that, won't do it again)
Loooong tunic tops (I'm short - they look like dresses on me)
Big, thick, overly wrapped, scarves. Especially in warm weather.
Burgundy (marsala?), olive, brown
Ankle boots and "gladiator" sandals/shoes of any kind
Fur-lined hoods (or anything fur-lined)
