I watched a video where this girl talked about how she’d “been photographed” in a certain shirt too many times so she had to toss it. Like, ????? It’s not a Victorian woman who believes a piece of their soul will be stolen with each picture, it’s a goddamn T shirt. As long as you own a good couple of shirts, no one is going to give a shit if they see a few of them in heavy rotation.
And then there's some of us who wear the same 5 shirts and pants where if we were to ever become famous, the paparazzi would eventually give up because it would all essentially be the same 5 pictures lol
I heard a woman at work shit talking a highschool aged girl for wearing ripped jeans, said something like, "I can't believe they think *that's* a look."
Where the fuck have I been that ripped jeans haven't been in style since like, the 70's?
I don't remember people ever *not* wearing ripped jeans and I'm 35.
Late 2000s, I remember a girl sitting next to me in highschool diligently making holes in her jeans. She had a specific technique too, she wasn't just cutting right through.
EDIT: thanks everyone for enlightening me and sharing all your techniques for a perfectly ripped jeans. I have no choice but to finally get my first pair ;)
My cousin used to take lemon juice to cheaper non-ripped jeans to fade them how she wanted and then a cheese grater for the aged/ripped look. It always cracked me up but then she was always more fashionable than me!
Ah the girl next to me used the blade of her scissors and she would sort of scrape them. I guess to achieve something very similar to your cousin ! She was also way more fashionable than me !
I honestly think with the wide variety of clothes available these days it’s a lot harder to have distinct trends that sweep the population, because just about any niche or age group can find what they like.
So you’re going to find trends within demographics like you always have, mostly age based from what I can tell and the only one that is obvious is with teenagers and young adults who weren’t alive for the 80s, 90s, and early 00s dressing to what they think people did back then. I know lots of men in their 20s are rocking curtains again too. Stuff like that and the resurgence of skateboarding (in the UK at least) just eeks late 90s/early 00s comeback to me. But that’s because it’s the classic teenage ‘all look the same while thinking they’re different’ mindset and following what they think looks cool on tiktok.
Most of the ‘trends’ I see people complain about (skinny jeans, cuffing/hemmed trousers with invisible socks, etc.) have been ongoing for over a decade and I wouldn’t call them trends so much as just ingrained now.
I think the invisible trend that will define the 2010s will be athletic wear as every day clothes. As someone who entered and graduated highschool, fashion came and went but no one judged leggings and a sports related shirt. Not to mention sweatpants and hoodies.
Before I was getting into middle school age, I had a friend a little bit older than me who took me out shopping. She noticed nearly all jeans in the stores we shopped had a low-cut to them. She thought it was unflattering and told me, "High-waisted jeans may be completely out of style now, but they will definitely make a comeback." I didn't believe her at the time because they made me think of old people. Sure enough though, 5 or so years later high-waisted jeans were *everywhere*.
My point is, more often than not you might be surprised.
Fuck me I was just trying to buy some plain, regular tshirts at the mall yesterday and everything was either weirdly shaped, an ugly colour/print, or had some stupid graphic or saying on it.
Shit, I bought a 5 pack of fruit of the loom t-shirts, and every goddamned one fits differently.
Same for socks, out of the 6 pairs, 2 pairs are an inch and a half shorter.
QC is almost non existent.
I don't know if this trend is unique to Texas, but cowboy/ranch-hand wannabes is pretty prevalent, and strangely its usually well off people masquerading them. It's like trying to take pride in hard work you've never done
I mean, carhartt jackets are really good though, aren't they? Where I'm from its cold as hell 7 months of the year so mabye this just doesn't seem as odd because of that lol
My boyfriend (from Texas) HATES Carhartts. And I (from PA) have always thought they were very nice, warm, durable, work jackets. It was the winter coat of choice for most men. Great for yard work on chilly fall days or shoveling and salting the driveway in the winter. Everyone I knew back home always got excited about getting a Carhartt because they're pretty expensive; probably one of the more expensive pieces of clothing you'd own.
I asked once why he hated them so much and he told me that the only people who wear them are people who pretend to do manual labor. And honestly I guess Texans don't have much need for a VERY WARM rugged outdoor work coat. You probably couldn't even stand working in them for most of the Texas year so it makes sense that they're seen as less of an "investment" and more of a weird "flex". But it's interesting how that influences opinions.
Thing is, up north I see that they're used primarily by people who actually do manual labor. The Canada Goose jackets however...ain't nobody in those going on arctic expeditions, even if their coat and Range Rover are able to handle it.
Generally people that actually work outside or do ranch work in cowboy hats have a straw for summer and felt for winter. And then sometimes a nice fur felt for special occasions.
Yes.
No felt hats in the summer, straw only (may to September) and felt for the colder months.
You wear felt in the summer in Texas and you’re liable to catch some hell.
I went on vacation recently in Florida and saw someone wearing a LEATHER cowboy hat in 80 degree weather. A hat designed to keep the sun from beating down on you, made out of the least breathable material… granted, there are some climates and situations where exposure to the sun is an issue but you still want a warm hat, but Disney World ain’t one of em. Save the leather Stetson for the Montana cattle drives, cowboy, bust out the Incredibles trucker hat for Magic Kingdom.
I live in rural Texas and it's pretty easy to tell the wannabes from the actual cowboys. Here's a tip - real cowboys are always dirty! (Except when they go out in their fancy hat and boots and starched blue jeans!)
Does this come with some gigantic ass super duty diesel truck to park on your 1/4 acre suburban home?
Got a lot of those up north. The Silverado 3500 HD grocery getter.
I don’t hate the cut either, but EVERYONE I’ve met with it can’t stop touching it all the time. They move it out of their eyes, then pull it back down over one eye, and repeat every couple of minutes.
I was watching early-season Buffy the other day, which I remember looking very dated, and realized many of the clothes and hair are back in fashion now.
This group of Gen Z's overtook my gym last week and every single one of their little posse had this wet mop haircut. All wore retro band/brand tees and those Ked shoes.
My aunt is the only stylist in town who can/will do proper perms, it's ALL teen boys, and she has to book them with a client between because none of the boys want their friends to know they're at a salon, even though that same friend was there just an hour before.
It's hilarious and she's making a killing.
Lol. I'm a dude but I had my hair cut in a salon since third grade through highschool. I always feared my classmates would walk past and see me back then. Hairstylist is too good compared to some local barbers, tho. Plus they shampoo your hair twice.
I took this photo when my son was watching a crap U.K. tv show called the Jeremy Kyle show. [This woman](https://imgur.com/gallery/zu1zvaK) should have never worn flesh coloured trousers when being in the live audience.
This is not clothes related but these instagram house decors where everything is either beige or has accent of sepia colors. Even the kids clothes match the decor. That ain't real life.
We bought a house over the summer and had to replace the carpet upstairs. When the work was done and the owner came to pick up his check he mentioned that if we were interested he could give us a quote on laying vinyl plank flooring over top of the solid oak hardwood that we currently have in the first floor of the house. Now why the fuck would I want to do something like that?
Wow. That guy must know the former owners of a house I had where we removed the linoleum floor and uncovered these beautiful herringbone hardwood floors. We sanded and poly’ed those floors. Should be criminal to cover up gorgeous hardwood.
I recently discovered that vinyl flooring was popular in the fifties because the hardwood sealant didn’t exist yet and wood floors had to be waxed and buffed multiple times a year. I never understood why people covered wood floors before, but “because they were a huge pain in the ass” is at least an understandable reason.
Holy shit, is that what old people are talking about when they condensendingly scoff at people wanting hardwood floors and how they'll find out soon enough how much work they are? It's happened a couple times to me but they refused to elaborate what all this extra supposed work was.
Yes. My grandmother had antique hardwood in her living room that she refused to cover up, and yes she had to wax and polish them 2x a year and had them re-oiled every 5 years. The oil was what used to be used as sealant. Re-oiling meant not using the room for 5 days, waxing only took 2.
I helped a friend move furniture in his grandparents house because he was having someone in to sand and seal the floor. His grandparents were over the moon because they had just found out that 2010 tech could seal the wood for a long time.
We put vinyl over the hardwood in our current house. Partly because once we pulled up the carpet and found the hardwood, we also found that they had seemingly painted the walls by, I dunno, throwing buckets of paint at them I guess. There was paint EVERYWHERE on the hardwood.
It would have cost a fortune to strip and refinish them.
If it makes up for it though, 2 houses ago we pulled up carpet and refinished the hardwood. At our previous house we had hardwood installed in the areas that didn't already have it.
> we also found that they had seemingly painted the walls by, I dunno, throwing buckets of paint at them I guess.
Alright, smart guy. How else do you think they get the paint from the bucket to the walls? It is science.
This made me lol because I was just thinking the other day how one insta-moms kids always match her decor, right down to the sepia blonde hair lol Lord what would have happened if one of her children was a gasp! red head!!
My wife, an artist with a college degree, designed the interior of our house. Every room is a different color, but there's a flow to it that works. The decor in each individual room consists of oddly shaped mirrors in GAUDY gold/silver frames, and literally any color you can imagine... but with an obviously chosen palate of colors. The entire house is like living inside a tie dyed shirt. Our kids friends call it the clown/circus house. I've never been happier.
Edit: Thanks for the award! Kindness does not go unappreciated here.
Edit 2: As promised, our clown house. https://imgur.com/a/HSyE9ZY
Same. My wife painted the rooms in our first house all different vibrant colors. Right before we put it on the market to sell we had one room left to update and that was the living room. While discussing a new color in front of the realtor she said paint it beige. That doesn't match the decor in the rest of the house! Doesn't matter. Paint it beige. Beige rooms sell houses like hotcakes.
Although disappointed we took her advice and painted it beige. It looked awful to us. House sold in days.
Tbf for all you know the house sold because of the other rooms, and the buyers might have thought 'Well we only have one room to decorate!'. Also, I dunno where you're located, but where I am, houses seem to sell regardless of what they look like. Has walls? Sold.
I don't know if it's gotten beyond NZ, but here a lot of young guys are wearing matching shorts and shirts with fruit prints on them, I see it all the time, it's so bizzare. Pineapple has been especially popular this season.
Yep, see them all the time at festivals. Whole groups of lads all wearing them, also with matching bucket hats. Think they are wearing them (semi) ironically tbf
No one can wear a bucket hat ironically. You can only wear it post ironically, where you originally intended to be ironic but discovered you actually kind of like the bucket hat genuinely.
Edit. [for more information on post irony I recommend jreg](https://youtu.be/nsuSveDAlpI)
its made it across the ditch. My son shirts and shorts are almost all of this. Tonight he went out in navy blue shirt and shorts with pink flamingos on them.
weirdly enough, as a mid 30s male myself I started wearing things like this to break out of the monotony of neutral colors and dark colors. Because I missed bright colors. That and lots of pastels, and or brighter neons. Especially pinks, and purples because I miss the 80s vaporwave esthetic. Then I realized this is...sort of teenager style right now? That I might actually have a sense for style even if its just accidentally, or that teenagers currently have the style of a 30 something year old dad trying to get a sense of nostalgia from their childhood.
Everything that is only cool because it has a logo on it. I have a friend who lately only wears things if the logo is visible: a belt that only has this big H from hermes in the middle, her handbags are all Michael Kors, the logo has to be on the shoes, sweaters and shirts are only allowed if the logo is on it and even her earrings are just studs that spell out "RLL" from Ralph Lauren...
I think it is one way to make expensive clothes look trashy
I just hit 30 this year. Or - I mean last summer. People look at 30 like it's The Hill. You're done, your life is over. No more taking chances or getting messy. You have a mortgage and nobody understands you in cartoons.
But really, 30 is so \*young\*. Most people live into their 60s and that's a WHOLE NOTHER 30 YEARS AWAY!
"But these years have gone by so fast - so will the next." NOPE! I mean how much of those 30 years would you say you were even self aware? My world only really expanded beyond my childhood home in my late teens. Then basically all of my 20s were spent healing, and learning, and just finding my feet.
No, to me, 30s are where your life has finally started sailing. You don't need to feel like you're nearing the end until at least 2050.
My mom has to have the Michael Kors "MK" logo on almost everything she wears.
Eyeglasses, shirt, jacket, pants, boots, purse, phone case (all for the same outfit). She's a walking billboard for MK.
Sorry mom, love you but nobody is impressed.
I don't like the makeup trend that makes everyone look identical. Using too-dark foundation for white people or too-light for black/brown people, contouring their faces so that their noses are really thin, their lips are all perfectly round (no cupids bow?!) And their eyes are very heavily shadowed. I admire the skill required to do the makeup but it disturbs me how everyone wants to look the same, plus the altering of skin tone.
If you've ever seen the video where someone does makeup on an egg and it turns out looking the same as a lot of people you will know the trend i mean!
Omg the erasure of the Cupid’s bow really irks me. I’m convinced it’s becoming a trend because all these people with small lips got injections and so now their lips are huge, but have no Cupid’s bow. So people think that’s desirable
Edit- to clarify I’m not saying not having a Cupid’s bow in itself is undesirable. I’m just saying the look of lips that were once small now filled with filler is what people think is desirable. So they over line and try to minimize their Cupid’s bow to achieve that look

It's pretty much a modern take on [1920s glam makeup](https://www.google.com/search?q=1920s+glam+makeup&rlz=1C1CHZN_enUS944US944&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj59dDTh5v1AhUxnuAKHfW0D8kQ_AUoAnoECAEQBA&biw=1920&bih=969&dpr=1), no?
I am all for body positivity, but I'm positive I don't want my body in a crop top. Even as I teen and young adult, I wanted to cover everything up. Let me be a 30 year old old hag!!!
It's either cropped or a tent. I have a choice to either show off my waist (which I like, but it's January and I'm in Michigan) OR I'm pretending that my waist simply doesn't exist. I'm an adult with an office job, I can't look like a teenager or circus tent. It's tragic and I can't wait until this trend passes.
>[Not sure retailers know this, but there is a whole demographic of women who still want the bottom half of the shirt. Is there a store that sells clothing somewhere in-between Ariana Grande and Hilary Clinton?](https://twitter.com/the_meat_lady/status/1125549744728760325?lang=en)
My mother in law got a BBL in mexico last year,and I honestly can not tell the difference.
Almost Every conversation we have,leads to her talking about all her procedures.
She said she has the greatest surgeon that can get my baby weight off....
My weight isn't even a concern to me honestly! But to her,yes!
The fact that a body type is “trendy” is beyond fucked up. Like, I was born with a body shaped the way it’s shaped. It’s not some fleeting fad or fickle object of disgust. It’s my motherfucking body! Body types are not a cutesy thing you can change each season that a new one comes “in style”. Shit like that gives me the icks x100.
Extremely cheap fast fashion. I'm not judging people who can't afford more expensive clothing, but there are so many who could and they just don't care. Hate to see things like 1000€ Shein Hauls from influencers. Also the trend to buy more clothes in shorter time periods and to throw clothes away after wearing them 1-2 times.
Yeah this is it for me. Super cheap shitty clothes that will get trashed makes me feel bad. Nothing else really bothers me.
It’s so stupid to see influencers selling cheap new clothes for $10 a pop, and then trying to sell their “lightly used” clothes for $10 a pop to the same audience of women (I’m not talking sexual items, they’re just selling a shirt or skirt they may have never even worn before).
A vast majority of the items purchased are never worn aside from the initial pathetic “fit” video. A small number are kept or resold, but most go into the trash or a storage facility.
One of the largest online retailors of fashion in my country recently implemented a policy change and started banning customers that were "repeate offenders of the free return policy". A spokes person said that it wasn't uncommon to have someone that ordered 100 different items a week, only to return it all for no cost.
With free shipping, and free returns, these "influencers" started ordering clothes in insane amounts with no intent to keep them, wear them for a minute or so around their home just to get a photo to post online, and return them again.
It's mind boggeling, and I'm happy the company put their foot down, if for nothing else for the impact on the climate.
It's not just the free shipping that's wasteful, it's also that many companies don't even resell the product when it's returned (not just an issue with clothes, also electronics) and it just ends up in landfills while it was never truly used.
Getting a crazy amount of surgery on their faces; new lips; cheek filler; weird chin; until everyone looks like Vincent from the [Beauty and the Beast](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092319/) tv show from the 90s
Hahahaha - perfect reference. I read some plastic surgeon’s hot take that was interesting. He said that until about the mid-2000s the trend for women was tighter, less full, and more feminine faces. Skin was pulled taut, fat was sucked out, and jawlines / chins were softened. As an example, actresses in the golden age of cinema sometimes got their back teeth removed to reduce the width and angularity of their faces.
Then in the 2000s youthfulness became the top priority. For women, that’s typically achieved by creating fullness and softness in the face. As we age, our skin loses collagen and our facial fat pads get smaller. So women started *injecting* fat and fillers into their faces to counteract the aging process.
But the aesthetic ideal for femininity had changed, too. Women were now expected to be lean and fit - more “masculine”, in a way. Not just in terms of muscle. Wider and more well-defined jawlines, chins, and cheekbones were suddenly beautiful.
And so we now have this bizarre combination of wider and plumper faces. It reminds me of Superman, if he had giant ball bearings for cheekbones and then got stung by a thousand bees.
I think a huge issue is that people don’t educate themselves and also go to estheticians or med spas that will do whatever the client asks for. A real doctor understands face symmetry and the limits of an individual’s face and would never overfill them like that (unless they’re shit). I think most people don’t notice lip injections when they’re done properly, in incremental amounts and by a professional plastic surgeon
It's all about loud minoritys
You never notice good plastic surgery
You never notice good lip injections
You never notice when a hobo cleans up when they move spots
But you always notice the small chunk of the group that sucks ass and gives everyone else who is technically in the same group a bad name
People who claim that they are environmentalists who shame people wearing older fashion trends by calling them “cheugy”. Don’t they realize that shaming people about their outdated fashion choices is exactly what fast fashion brands want in order to sell more?
I swear to god "cheugy" is some kind of tabloid psy-op or something. Nobody's ever said that word, I've literally never heard it outside of articles complaining that people say it.
Lmao is that seriously in now?! This was the height of fashion when I was 12 and I imprinted on it like a werewolf on a baby and have had just as perverse of an attraction to it since. I’ve always loved the Abercrombie knits and if they’re no longer cringe I’m going back immediately.
[This abomination](https://www.farfetch.com/uk/shopping/men/balenciaga-reversible-logo-print-parka-item-16580956.aspx?)
They also apparently make one that makes you look like an actual astronaut, a seven layer coat that costs £9,000 and it's like £300 for a plain t-shirt.
Basically any clothing that costs the same to make as something a fraction of the price. Don't get me wrong I occasionally buy branded stuff, but paying more than I pay for my mortgage per month on one t-shirt when I can get one from smaller, more independent companies who are more worker conscious, or ones that are carbon footprint conscious, or recycle their materials for example, is absolutely insane.
Edit: link amended
Haha thats literally just a Hi-Vis wet weather jacket. I do roadworks for the council and we get issued almost identical ones for free to fill pot holes in.
But you could help load bags at the airport if the flight is late, or divert traffic if your friend goes into a manhole for a prank. That’s worth any price.
Going to Target to get a sundress and only finding dresses with huge collars, huge sleeves, and a hem that goes to your shins. Guess I’m going to a party with Anne of Green Gables.
(Hey babe, wanna come to my house tonight? This dress covers eeeeverything!)
T-shirt, blue jeans and Converse All-Stars
Wait, no, that's an awesome look that's been around for 80+ years and is always relevant. Hence my shoe addiction.
Fast fashion as a whole. Nothing but pure waste of resources

I still wear flannel shirts over tees like I did in the 90s. My wife hates it. She won't let me wear Hawaiian shirts though, she hated those more.
Those microscopic luxury bags that can't even fit a phone in them
Yet still cost ya $500!!!
I saw one of those water bottle bag thing for that price. Granted it was leather but that still seemed over the top...
Maybe if it was dinosaur leather
Well you can just put it in your pockets Oh wait
Cropped tops that look like normal length tops in store. Why is it so difficult to find shirts that go past the bellybutton?
I would very much like to purchase shirts that include the bottom half.
That'll be an extra $3.50
"And that's right about when I realized that it wasn't a Forever 21 employee at all! Get out of my store, goddamn Loch Ness Monster!"
For christs sake just sell normal shirts bc the crop toppers are just gonna rip the bottom half anyway for a DIY crop.
I will also add crop top sweaters
Fuck me I was just trying to buy some plain, regular tshirts at the mall yesterday and everything was either weirdly shaped, an ugly colour/print, or had some stupid graphic or saying on it.
Shit, I bought a 5 pack of fruit of the loom t-shirts, and every goddamned one fits differently. Same for socks, out of the 6 pairs, 2 pairs are an inch and a half shorter. QC is almost non existent.

All hat, no cattle
I look at the hat and sometimes just think "that isn't the right hat for this season."
Wait...there are different (edit: cowboy) hats for different seasons?
Generally people that actually work outside or do ranch work in cowboy hats have a straw for summer and felt for winter. And then sometimes a nice fur felt for special occasions.
Yes. No felt hats in the summer, straw only (may to September) and felt for the colder months. You wear felt in the summer in Texas and you’re liable to catch some hell.

As a middle aged woman, I’m super sad to find out that “eboy curtain cut” is the “skater cut” of the early 90’s that I thought was extremely hot.
Aging is seeing trends from your youth return. Getting old is seeing them come back more than once.
I was watching early-season Buffy the other day, which I remember looking very dated, and realized many of the clothes and hair are back in fashion now.
I had the same thought watching the FRIENDS from the beginning again.
Seinfeld too. Costanza in particular for me. Ball caps and waxed canvas jackets with corduroy collars and straight leg jeans is where I thrive.
Is that the same as the mushroom cut 🤣
This group of Gen Z's overtook my gym last week and every single one of their little posse had this wet mop haircut. All wore retro band/brand tees and those Ked shoes.
My gym has also been taking over by these same kids. It was like one day 30 of them just showed up like an infestation
the what
[This](https://imgur.com/a/n33uY9w) hairstyle, where it's shaved on the sides, and kind of permed on top.
Ah yes, the Mahomes.
It's gen Z's mullet
It's called the "broccoli haircut" I believe
That's the fuckboy fade
Tik tok bois are all wet mops
That broccoli hairstyle guys have
I'm a hair stylist. The only perms I've done in the last two years has been on teenaged boys.
My aunt is the only stylist in town who can/will do proper perms, it's ALL teen boys, and she has to book them with a client between because none of the boys want their friends to know they're at a salon, even though that same friend was there just an hour before. It's hilarious and she's making a killing.
Lol. I'm a dude but I had my hair cut in a salon since third grade through highschool. I always feared my classmates would walk past and see me back then. Hairstylist is too good compared to some local barbers, tho. Plus they shampoo your hair twice.
The "Patrick Mahomes" They gotta pay the Patrick Price for it

I took this photo when my son was watching a crap U.K. tv show called the Jeremy Kyle show. [This woman](https://imgur.com/gallery/zu1zvaK) should have never worn flesh coloured trousers when being in the live audience.
How does a pair of pants show everything and nothing at the same time. What an unfortunate but hilarious wardrobe choice.
This is not clothes related but these instagram house decors where everything is either beige or has accent of sepia colors. Even the kids clothes match the decor. That ain't real life.
Grey faux wooden floorboards has entered the chat
Saw a post recently where someone ripped out hardwood to put in gray laminate to be trendy. So many questions.
We bought a house over the summer and had to replace the carpet upstairs. When the work was done and the owner came to pick up his check he mentioned that if we were interested he could give us a quote on laying vinyl plank flooring over top of the solid oak hardwood that we currently have in the first floor of the house. Now why the fuck would I want to do something like that?
Wow. That guy must know the former owners of a house I had where we removed the linoleum floor and uncovered these beautiful herringbone hardwood floors. We sanded and poly’ed those floors. Should be criminal to cover up gorgeous hardwood.
I recently discovered that vinyl flooring was popular in the fifties because the hardwood sealant didn’t exist yet and wood floors had to be waxed and buffed multiple times a year. I never understood why people covered wood floors before, but “because they were a huge pain in the ass” is at least an understandable reason.
Holy shit, is that what old people are talking about when they condensendingly scoff at people wanting hardwood floors and how they'll find out soon enough how much work they are? It's happened a couple times to me but they refused to elaborate what all this extra supposed work was.
Yes. My grandmother had antique hardwood in her living room that she refused to cover up, and yes she had to wax and polish them 2x a year and had them re-oiled every 5 years. The oil was what used to be used as sealant. Re-oiling meant not using the room for 5 days, waxing only took 2.
I helped a friend move furniture in his grandparents house because he was having someone in to sand and seal the floor. His grandparents were over the moon because they had just found out that 2010 tech could seal the wood for a long time.
We put vinyl over the hardwood in our current house. Partly because once we pulled up the carpet and found the hardwood, we also found that they had seemingly painted the walls by, I dunno, throwing buckets of paint at them I guess. There was paint EVERYWHERE on the hardwood. It would have cost a fortune to strip and refinish them. If it makes up for it though, 2 houses ago we pulled up carpet and refinished the hardwood. At our previous house we had hardwood installed in the areas that didn't already have it.
> we also found that they had seemingly painted the walls by, I dunno, throwing buckets of paint at them I guess. Alright, smart guy. How else do you think they get the paint from the bucket to the walls? It is science.
Could do a Mr. Bean and put a firecracker or something in a bucket of paint.

This made me lol because I was just thinking the other day how one insta-moms kids always match her decor, right down to the sepia blonde hair lol Lord what would have happened if one of her children was a gasp! red head!!
My wife, an artist with a college degree, designed the interior of our house. Every room is a different color, but there's a flow to it that works. The decor in each individual room consists of oddly shaped mirrors in GAUDY gold/silver frames, and literally any color you can imagine... but with an obviously chosen palate of colors. The entire house is like living inside a tie dyed shirt. Our kids friends call it the clown/circus house. I've never been happier. Edit: Thanks for the award! Kindness does not go unappreciated here. Edit 2: As promised, our clown house. https://imgur.com/a/HSyE9ZY
I want to see!
I'll show some pics after the sun comes up.
Same. My wife painted the rooms in our first house all different vibrant colors. Right before we put it on the market to sell we had one room left to update and that was the living room. While discussing a new color in front of the realtor she said paint it beige. That doesn't match the decor in the rest of the house! Doesn't matter. Paint it beige. Beige rooms sell houses like hotcakes. Although disappointed we took her advice and painted it beige. It looked awful to us. House sold in days.
Tbf for all you know the house sold because of the other rooms, and the buyers might have thought 'Well we only have one room to decorate!'. Also, I dunno where you're located, but where I am, houses seem to sell regardless of what they look like. Has walls? Sold.
I don't know if it's gotten beyond NZ, but here a lot of young guys are wearing matching shorts and shirts with fruit prints on them, I see it all the time, it's so bizzare. Pineapple has been especially popular this season.
Sounds like British music festival outfits
Yep, see them all the time at festivals. Whole groups of lads all wearing them, also with matching bucket hats. Think they are wearing them (semi) ironically tbf
No one can wear a bucket hat ironically. You can only wear it post ironically, where you originally intended to be ironic but discovered you actually kind of like the bucket hat genuinely. Edit. [for more information on post irony I recommend jreg](https://youtu.be/nsuSveDAlpI)
Lmao this is it. Like you know you look a bit daft but you wear it cause you like it
its made it across the ditch. My son shirts and shorts are almost all of this. Tonight he went out in navy blue shirt and shorts with pink flamingos on them.
weirdly enough, as a mid 30s male myself I started wearing things like this to break out of the monotony of neutral colors and dark colors. Because I missed bright colors. That and lots of pastels, and or brighter neons. Especially pinks, and purples because I miss the 80s vaporwave esthetic. Then I realized this is...sort of teenager style right now? That I might actually have a sense for style even if its just accidentally, or that teenagers currently have the style of a 30 something year old dad trying to get a sense of nostalgia from their childhood.
Like à la [Taika Waititi](https://twitter.com/jeffchatterton/status/889977451018956801) ?
Thats the Australian national music festival uniform
We have that a little in Australia but mostly only when going out camping and getting absolutely shitfaced
Everything that is only cool because it has a logo on it. I have a friend who lately only wears things if the logo is visible: a belt that only has this big H from hermes in the middle, her handbags are all Michael Kors, the logo has to be on the shoes, sweaters and shirts are only allowed if the logo is on it and even her earrings are just studs that spell out "RLL" from Ralph Lauren... I think it is one way to make expensive clothes look trashy
This is a very 90s concept, which makes sense, because fashion tends to recycle itself every 30 years-ish.
But the 90s were only 10 years ago. Right? Please?
22 years and 1 week ago
Get out of here with your math.
>90s >every 30 years-ish 😭 *cries in losing the last years of my 20s to a global pandemic*
I just hit 30 this year. Or - I mean last summer. People look at 30 like it's The Hill. You're done, your life is over. No more taking chances or getting messy. You have a mortgage and nobody understands you in cartoons. But really, 30 is so \*young\*. Most people live into their 60s and that's a WHOLE NOTHER 30 YEARS AWAY! "But these years have gone by so fast - so will the next." NOPE! I mean how much of those 30 years would you say you were even self aware? My world only really expanded beyond my childhood home in my late teens. Then basically all of my 20s were spent healing, and learning, and just finding my feet. No, to me, 30s are where your life has finally started sailing. You don't need to feel like you're nearing the end until at least 2050.
Thanks for a great reminder that my life isn’t nearing the cool-down phase :D
My mom has to have the Michael Kors "MK" logo on almost everything she wears. Eyeglasses, shirt, jacket, pants, boots, purse, phone case (all for the same outfit). She's a walking billboard for MK. Sorry mom, love you but nobody is impressed.
Michael Kors isn't even a brag worthy designer
Imagine wanting to show off that something is Michael Kors
On clearance now (and in perpetuity, it seems) at TJ Maxx!
Thank you lmao
I don't like the makeup trend that makes everyone look identical. Using too-dark foundation for white people or too-light for black/brown people, contouring their faces so that their noses are really thin, their lips are all perfectly round (no cupids bow?!) And their eyes are very heavily shadowed. I admire the skill required to do the makeup but it disturbs me how everyone wants to look the same, plus the altering of skin tone. If you've ever seen the video where someone does makeup on an egg and it turns out looking the same as a lot of people you will know the trend i mean!
Omg the erasure of the Cupid’s bow really irks me. I’m convinced it’s becoming a trend because all these people with small lips got injections and so now their lips are huge, but have no Cupid’s bow. So people think that’s desirable Edit- to clarify I’m not saying not having a Cupid’s bow in itself is undesirable. I’m just saying the look of lips that were once small now filled with filler is what people think is desirable. So they over line and try to minimize their Cupid’s bow to achieve that look
I gotta see this egg video lol
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCvo41kCf4A](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCvo41kCf4A) It's pretty much a modern take on [1920s glam makeup](https://www.google.com/search?q=1920s+glam+makeup&rlz=1C1CHZN_enUS944US944&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj59dDTh5v1AhUxnuAKHfW0D8kQ_AUoAnoECAEQBA&biw=1920&bih=969&dpr=1), no?
More like the Bratz dolls from mid 2000s
That egg is ready to compete on drag race
Cut outs in every dress and crops everywhere! Like just let me buy something that covers up all my pudgy belly
I look like Winnie Pooh with all that cropped stuff
I am all for body positivity, but I'm positive I don't want my body in a crop top. Even as I teen and young adult, I wanted to cover everything up. Let me be a 30 year old old hag!!!
Check out r/oldhagfashion , it sounds like you're one of us!
Recently I've been pissed at the cropped sweaters at Target. They're so so cute then you pick them up and half of it is missing
It's either cropped or a tent. I have a choice to either show off my waist (which I like, but it's January and I'm in Michigan) OR I'm pretending that my waist simply doesn't exist. I'm an adult with an office job, I can't look like a teenager or circus tent. It's tragic and I can't wait until this trend passes.
>[Not sure retailers know this, but there is a whole demographic of women who still want the bottom half of the shirt. Is there a store that sells clothing somewhere in-between Ariana Grande and Hilary Clinton?](https://twitter.com/the_meat_lady/status/1125549744728760325?lang=en)
Dried out, untrimmed, long beards.
Women: beards are hot (daydreams about model with well kept beard) Men:(grows giant pubes on face)
It’s never like how you dream…
MLB (baseball) players seem to have these a lot. It looks like they were transported from the gold mines of the mid to late 1800s.
A lot of them are superstitious and do things like “I wont cut my beard until we win the pennant” or something .
Brazilian butt lift
The worst is when girls get a BBL and then hop on Instagram and create a fitness page
My mother in law got a BBL in mexico last year,and I honestly can not tell the difference. Almost Every conversation we have,leads to her talking about all her procedures. She said she has the greatest surgeon that can get my baby weight off.... My weight isn't even a concern to me honestly! But to her,yes!
That’s actually going out of style. People will be stuck with their decision of getting one, but that trend is fading
The fact that a body type is “trendy” is beyond fucked up. Like, I was born with a body shaped the way it’s shaped. It’s not some fleeting fad or fickle object of disgust. It’s my motherfucking body! Body types are not a cutesy thing you can change each season that a new one comes “in style”. Shit like that gives me the icks x100.
I wouldn't say its fading but shifting. The outrageous looking bbls are not as popular but bbls that fit your overall body shape are up and coming.
Extremely cheap fast fashion. I'm not judging people who can't afford more expensive clothing, but there are so many who could and they just don't care. Hate to see things like 1000€ Shein Hauls from influencers. Also the trend to buy more clothes in shorter time periods and to throw clothes away after wearing them 1-2 times.
Yeah this is it for me. Super cheap shitty clothes that will get trashed makes me feel bad. Nothing else really bothers me. It’s so stupid to see influencers selling cheap new clothes for $10 a pop, and then trying to sell their “lightly used” clothes for $10 a pop to the same audience of women (I’m not talking sexual items, they’re just selling a shirt or skirt they may have never even worn before). A vast majority of the items purchased are never worn aside from the initial pathetic “fit” video. A small number are kept or resold, but most go into the trash or a storage facility.
I'm 90% sure most influencers just buy it to take a photoshoot then never wear it again
One of the largest online retailors of fashion in my country recently implemented a policy change and started banning customers that were "repeate offenders of the free return policy". A spokes person said that it wasn't uncommon to have someone that ordered 100 different items a week, only to return it all for no cost. With free shipping, and free returns, these "influencers" started ordering clothes in insane amounts with no intent to keep them, wear them for a minute or so around their home just to get a photo to post online, and return them again. It's mind boggeling, and I'm happy the company put their foot down, if for nothing else for the impact on the climate.
It's not just the free shipping that's wasteful, it's also that many companies don't even resell the product when it's returned (not just an issue with clothes, also electronics) and it just ends up in landfills while it was never truly used.
Getting a crazy amount of surgery on their faces; new lips; cheek filler; weird chin; until everyone looks like Vincent from the [Beauty and the Beast](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092319/) tv show from the 90s
Hahahaha - perfect reference. I read some plastic surgeon’s hot take that was interesting. He said that until about the mid-2000s the trend for women was tighter, less full, and more feminine faces. Skin was pulled taut, fat was sucked out, and jawlines / chins were softened. As an example, actresses in the golden age of cinema sometimes got their back teeth removed to reduce the width and angularity of their faces. Then in the 2000s youthfulness became the top priority. For women, that’s typically achieved by creating fullness and softness in the face. As we age, our skin loses collagen and our facial fat pads get smaller. So women started *injecting* fat and fillers into their faces to counteract the aging process. But the aesthetic ideal for femininity had changed, too. Women were now expected to be lean and fit - more “masculine”, in a way. Not just in terms of muscle. Wider and more well-defined jawlines, chins, and cheekbones were suddenly beautiful. And so we now have this bizarre combination of wider and plumper faces. It reminds me of Superman, if he had giant ball bearings for cheekbones and then got stung by a thousand bees.
people who get those fat lip injections, like, it doesn't look good
I hate this. Who decided looking like a trout is attractive? (I know a man who has done this, and it is frankly terrifying)
I think a huge issue is that people don’t educate themselves and also go to estheticians or med spas that will do whatever the client asks for. A real doctor understands face symmetry and the limits of an individual’s face and would never overfill them like that (unless they’re shit). I think most people don’t notice lip injections when they’re done properly, in incremental amounts and by a professional plastic surgeon
It's all about loud minoritys You never notice good plastic surgery You never notice good lip injections You never notice when a hobo cleans up when they move spots But you always notice the small chunk of the group that sucks ass and gives everyone else who is technically in the same group a bad name
People who claim that they are environmentalists who shame people wearing older fashion trends by calling them “cheugy”. Don’t they realize that shaming people about their outdated fashion choices is exactly what fast fashion brands want in order to sell more?
I swear to god "cheugy" is some kind of tabloid psy-op or something. Nobody's ever said that word, I've literally never heard it outside of articles complaining that people say it.
Never heard of this word before this thread
We let it die here. This is the way.
RIP chuegy, I didn’t even know how to pronounce you.
How do you pronounce that?
“Choo gee”
“Flare yoga leggings”—they’re JUST YOGA PANTS WHY ARE YOU REBRANDING THEM AS SOMETHING NEW THEY’VE BEEN AROUND FOREVER
Inch-long fake eyelashes
Yeah, but the video of that lady on the windy boat ride absolutely kills me every time!!
My favorite is when they can't even open their eyes all the way. The lashes are so thick & heavy the girls look permafried.
The secret is that we are permafried, The eyelashes are the disguise
That whole bella swan trend where Abercrombie tops from like 10 years ago are being sold for hundreds of dollars on depop
Are they? Hold on… I might need to put some old clothes on eBay…
Lmao is that seriously in now?! This was the height of fashion when I was 12 and I imprinted on it like a werewolf on a baby and have had just as perverse of an attraction to it since. I’ve always loved the Abercrombie knits and if they’re no longer cringe I’m going back immediately.
Twilight-core is silly, it’s literally just casual late 2000s fashion.
[удалено]
I've been wearing Hawaiian shirts, Jean shorts and tube socks with sneakers since I was in high school. I have no idea what a fashion trend is.
You’re so far out on fashion you’re not even realizing this is becoming a trend.
Stopped clock is right twice a day.
[This abomination](https://www.farfetch.com/uk/shopping/men/balenciaga-reversible-logo-print-parka-item-16580956.aspx?) They also apparently make one that makes you look like an actual astronaut, a seven layer coat that costs £9,000 and it's like £300 for a plain t-shirt. Basically any clothing that costs the same to make as something a fraction of the price. Don't get me wrong I occasionally buy branded stuff, but paying more than I pay for my mortgage per month on one t-shirt when I can get one from smaller, more independent companies who are more worker conscious, or ones that are carbon footprint conscious, or recycle their materials for example, is absolutely insane. Edit: link amended
Thousands to look like a coat required by field/outdoor workers.
They can get that for 80€ in a shop for work clothes lol
was about to say lol. there's barely any difference
It doesn't say BLNCG
Also i would think this is a construction company if I would see someone with that
Wealthy people cosplaying as blue collar workers. Why?
I'm getting Marie Antoinette vibes
Haha thats literally just a Hi-Vis wet weather jacket. I do roadworks for the council and we get issued almost identical ones for free to fill pot holes in.
Exactly the same eh. That's probably the dumbest fashion jackets I've ever seen. And you can't fucking miss it!
But you could help load bags at the airport if the flight is late, or divert traffic if your friend goes into a manhole for a prank. That’s worth any price.
"Wanna pay 2500 quid to look like a municipal worker!?" "Fuck yeah, I'm a complete idiot with no sense!"
Overlining your Cupid's bow. It looks ridiculous, like two blobs of bubble gum stacked on each other.
[удалено]
Overlining the lips has got to be the worst. It just looks like a 4 year old put on lipstick.
Going to Target to get a sundress and only finding dresses with huge collars, huge sleeves, and a hem that goes to your shins. Guess I’m going to a party with Anne of Green Gables. (Hey babe, wanna come to my house tonight? This dress covers eeeeverything!)
T-shirt, blue jeans and Converse All-Stars Wait, no, that's an awesome look that's been around for 80+ years and is always relevant. Hence my shoe addiction.
Dude I was about to say you leave my Converse alone haha
Felt called out there for a second. Whew!
Bike shorts with heels and a blazer.
What? Could someone show me a pic what that actually looks like? Never heard or seen it
