Re: What current trends can you just not embrace?

I'm not going to be doing flare and bootcut jeans or wear wide leg pants.

I love this look!

It takes a plain, boring dress and amps up the interest big time.

Besides, it's a very sexy look as you are leaving the room   Woman Wink

Re: What current trends can you just not embrace?

I'm giving a cold shoulder to the cold shoulder look...I do like it on others sometimes, but I would never feel comfortable wearing it.

Don't like the overly distressed jeans.

Don't like mixing patterns as Issac says it's ok to do...I would feel like I looked like a test pattern if I did that...although I do like Issac!

Don't like the shirts with the messages or sayings on them.

 

Hope I have not offended anyone! Smiley Happy

I forgot about the message shirts...they are not my fav. They remind me of a shirts you buy on the Boardwalk.

lola, i agree with this one.   what jewelry do or can you wear with this assuming you want to?  i don't consider a zipper to be decorative.

Re: What current trends can you just not embrace?

I don't care for the triple layer look, unless you are in a region of the country where you need to layer clothes. It's beginning to look sloppy to me. Or the long diagional cuts of tops. But then, I dress for my needs not to be one of the current fashion trend setters. So if others wear these outfits, they're safe. 

 

The other one is lace on things. Things can get caught in lace, like jewelry. Lace is pretty, just not a good idea for me.

Not that I'd wear it, I cover arms, but I'm amazed at all the women who don't like that look. Is it too "young" or for what reasons, I'm trying to understand. I guess you'd have to have pretty shoulders.............I don't understand that one.

Cold shoulder-split sleeves and wide-legged pants...

 

I do like flare bottom (not too exaggerated), but I don't like wide all the way down--no palazzos either.

Ath leisure wear..... It reminds me of the velour jogging suits I used to see in the 80's where people wore them that probably had not seen the inside of a gym in 40 years. It just doesn't always flatter the people who think it is for "everyone."


LOL

 

I love "ath leisure wear"....lululemon is one of my favorite places to shop for casual.  I own a closet full as I love to be comfy.

What's wrong with ballet flats?    Lol


They're not even a trend.  They've been around for years.
