Fashion Items no one over 30 should wear

That dog is cute but he has no ass

actually in japan, it is very en vogue for old people to have purple hair

also, cool grandpas wear converse type shoes

Men who dye their hair are desperate and sad looking

I saw a man at a small gathering recently who wore blue jean shorts rolled up with a cuff. It was embarrassing.

Some sartorial items must disappear before 25 and may come back over 50. Bowties. Suspenders. Best to wait for 60 for the return of any extreme prep looks.

I think old men can judiciously add boyish items and it's cute again. 25 to 50 - dress like a man not a lifestyle.

Guys with dad bod wearing tank tops

One of the best things about growing older is that you stop giving a fuck what pretentious assholes like OP think about your fashion choices.

R7 if you’re dying your hair rainbow colors you sure do give a fuck

Why does OP care what other people want to wear if it makes them happy?

But what if it’s not hair dye? What if they naturally have blue hair like Marge Simpson?

Overalls

Celebrity fragrances. I actually think twenty-five should be the limit, but surely it should stop by thirty.

R7 Bless your heart. You look ridiculous. Look in the mirror in the morning - you come across as desperate.

[quote] Guys with dad bod wearing tank tops

Personally, I don't like anyone in a tank top. No matter your age or how well you're built, you always look better in a t-shirt.

And one more thing: I don't think that gays have better taste in clothes. Gays are just gutsier.

I mostly agree with your 2nd and 3rd points, OP, but I am 38 and I will keep wearing my Cons because they're comfortable.

What r6 said... The only thing I notice is tank-tops...at any age really but especially for the 30+. If you aren't in decent shape please just dont while in public

I don't quite get OPs converse aversion. They are just casual sneakers. I don't think anyone sees them as edgy anymore or wear them to make a statement. It's like calling keds edgy or punk rock. They're just tennis shoes. Call me when she shows up in bedazzled Nikes.

I don't agree with OP's aversion to Converse either. They are just sneakers that have been around for most of our lifetimes.

Well how about a bedazzled converse r17

It’s never ‘my shoelace is untied.’ It’s OMG let me just stop for a second because I need to tie my left converse lace up. I borrowed these ones from my daughter.’

I've been coloring my hair my entire life - blond highlights. Now, I do an entire light brown and add the highlights. My hairdresser knows I don't want it to look too natural. I'm not spending $200 for nothing .

Also wear checkerboard Van's, levis and fun Robert Graham shirts. DGAF what anyone thinks.

No one is talking about brown and blonde highlights r20. Don’t worry, we approve.

Speak for yourself. I don't approve of frosted tips.

R20 Oh my goodness.

Come sit next to me OP because I love talking with a nasty bitch like you! You should see my fat ass neighbor who wears fake LV logo tracksuits.

R22, they aren't frosted tips. Color to the roots.

R25 Wow

R17 The point is SHE thinks it makes her edgy.

Exactly r27!

R24 is my sprit animal

Logo anything is wretched, but fake? Yikes!

Stretched out v neck t shirts.

Ripped jeans, unless you’re just schlepping around the house.

Crop tops

All should be banished by 30

Doc Martens

Most anything that Johnny Depp wears.

I think he can carry it off.

The dog (body, not face) at OP looks like Ben Affleck.

OP engages in ageism.

You don’t like a little dad bod tank top nip slip action?

30 is young… it’s not 1970 when you had to be a grandparent at 38

I see plenty of people in their 30s dress or style themselves with the examples OP gave.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

If you keep yourself in good shape, you can wear almost anything. I do agree about tank tops- I don't want to see pit hair while eating especially.

R40 she does not look well.

Who is tying up Converse laces? Doesn't everyone just tuck them in and slip them on and off?

She looks like she's heavily medicated.

R35 face, too.

@r7, I like you 👍 🤗

Those womens shirts with the shoulders cut out….hideous on anyone but particular the big huge fatties who favor them….Ulch

Wearing Converse makes my hips and knees hurt.

Baseball caps turned backwards!

[quote]I see plenty of people in their 30s dress or style themselves with the examples OP gave.

yeah I think 40 is the true turning point where certain things start looking out of place on certain people. And like someone said if you are still in shape you carry off things longer

I'm fine with bright "manic panic style" hair dye but a lot of people neglect it and it fades in an unpleasant way. It makes normal people look like fat mall goths.

The horrid clown red hair.

Late 40s man and I wear Converse. sometimes. I'm thinking about dying my hair blue, and jumping into a pair of skinny jeans to troll OP.

Cinesnatch I always assumed you were in your late 60s at the very least. You seem so prissy and uncool.

OP needs a hobby.

Earrings

Caftans!!

If you look good, you'll look good in anything. However, at 30 you shouldn't be wearing anything that looks like teenwear.

[quote] Baseball caps turned backwards!

That's another one I'd say nobody should wear. Who looks better wearing it like that?

I just saw a sixty-something on a skateboard and was reminded of this age-thread. He had gray hair, quite a belly, glasses... you know, he looked like a very average sixty year old - on a skateboard. I thought, watch out and don't break your hip, but good for you having fun skating your way through the neighborhood. It looked cute.

I used to agree with the no tank top/sleeveless rule that Datalounge drilled into us, but it's fucking hot these days-- the weather--and I'm going to live my life. It's been at or over 100 degrees in Texas for a good ten days. I've showered, I wear antiperspirant; if you're sanctimonious at the sight of my past-their-prime arms when I'm out buying mulch or walking my dog, then so be it. You don't look as great as you think anymore, either.

Those of you who pat yourselves on the back thinking you can still pull it off because you're sorta fit, or are 64 but look 23 are wrong. You don't look fat but you look like a Jeff Lewis wannabe, aging and comically in denial. That's ok, whatever makes you happy. Whatever makes me happy is not steaming myself in a sleeved shirt tucked into just-so belted shorts.

It's OK to dress for utility sometimes. Jesus half the people here won't even leave their house without a handful of pills and another 30% never leave at all. Who gives a fuck?

I don’t care what other people wear

[quote]Bright green, pink, purple, blue hair dye.. Worn by mostly women who are around 50. Enough already! You think you’re expressing individuality but it’s not when 1000’s of other dowdy fraus like you are doing it too.

They're Gen X'ers and still doing the same things they did when young. I think that's all it is. Many still have a lot of piercings, ear and nose mostly, and get new tattoos. It's not edgy for them anymore, they've been doing it for 30 years.

r60 walking dog, ok. And no one mentioned tucking in a shirt or a belt. A t-shirt is a nice solution?

Do you, but you all can't complain when you see women with their flabs and side tits hanging out all over the place during the summer either.

werq your pussy to the bone!

[quote]Personally, I don't like anyone in a tank top. No matter your age or how well you're built, you always look better in a t-shirt.

80s action stars look good in tank tops. No one else does.

I was wearing a tank top when I was in my back yard last weekend, early in the morning when it was "only" 85 degrees, spraying for weeds. The Army lesbian next door hid behind one of her trees and watched me, giving me the stink-eye the whole time. She was in a long-sleeved olive drab sweater shirt and fatigues tucked into boots. I kept glancing at her to make sure she didn't die of heatstroke.

She was pissed you were spraying chemicals, R66.

But rest assured, she was jealous as hell of your tank top.

I thought Cinesnatch was a woman. I guess it’s the snatch.

[quote] Do you, but you all can't complain when you see women with their flabs and side tits hanging out all over the place during the summer either.

I have more important things to do.

Rather prefer someone over 30 who wears and does what they want with their aesthetic than a dreary-sounding person like the OP who apparently revels in bland monotonous sameness. Or perhaps OP doesn't revel at anything - which would explain a lot, actually.

I'm not a fan of weed killers myself, r67, but there's a cliff in my yard that cannot be reached easily by even the trustiest lawn maintenance company, and the city has a temper tantrum if my weeds get above 12 inches, so I use weed killer. When I first moved in, I left it to grow, and now I have a nemesis named Brad. He works for the city's Code Department. He has a ruler.

R53 please post a picture when you’re ready!

Daisy dukes, turquoise thongs and ripped tank tops never go out of style.

R70 is so humorless. Probably hiding behind a tree in her backyard right now.

R70 types fat

Converse is a company. I'm sure you meant All Stars sneakers by Converse. And no, you are never too old to wear them. Still look millions times better than those ugly basketball or running shoes. Those things make adults look like toddlers.

This is how I imagine the typical Datalounger

Some would argue converse actually are basketball shoes. What shoes are making people look like toddlers? Please post a pic? Want to make sure I’m not one of them lol

That^ request is for r76

Funny, THIS is how I imagine the typical Datalounger:

R78 Just Google basketball shoes. All Stars were basketball shoes 70 years ago.

R81 no shit Sherlock We know what all stars are. If you can’t back up your post why bother. You seem to have a clear idea of what shoes make people look like toddlers though they aren’t all stars - but that just cause you wear them and feel butt hurt about what you now know people think you look like.

OP types fat and boring. Also, lagging way way behind the times, and drenched in nostalgia for the "good old days." Poor dear, maybe you need more Metamucil in your diet.

I don't imagine the_typical_ Datalounger looks like this, but I did always picture the basketcase, who, in the early days of covid was hoarding freeze-dried food in buckets with spinning lids from Winco and even a year in was giving maudlin near-daily updates of their quest for Lysol--I imagine that DLer looks like Wallace Shawn.

R82 Are you stupid?

MAGA hats and shirts

Confederate flag hats and shirts

[quote]even a year in was giving maudlin near-daily updates of their quest for Lysol

One of the most idiotic things I've seen on here was the guy who planted his fat ass in the grocery threads during lockdown and spent hours a day screaming at anyone who said the word "Lysol." It does not surprise me that this guy is still ranting about it, even though those grocery threads ended back in 2020.

Above knee or mini skirts, even if you have the legs for them.

Converse look utterly stupid on anyone. Just like Earth Shoes and Crocks.

R89 Converse don't look stupid on anyone. They are classic for a reason. Even the dorkiest dorks look somewhat cool in Cons.

Not really a “fashion item” but people wearing pajama bottoms in public.

“But I want to be comfortable!”

🙄

[quote]Baseball caps

It's so nice never to see them in Europe.

Losing out on a very few fetching corn fed feed store capped specimens in their prime is a tiny price to pay for not being cast adrift in an American sea of baseball caps, tractor hats, trucker caps, and MAGA caps.

I rarely see baseball caps out and about.

I have to agree that the Converse shoes look kind of silly. White would probably be okay. Red looks sillier.

Vans, looks like you're trying hard.

Colorful hair (green, etc.), especially when the dye has faded, looks not great, IMO.

Dressing like you're going into your office to work even though you're retired.

Wearing uncomfortable clothing because of outdated trends.

Converse are classic. I have three pairs, though I live the low-rise, not the high-tops. Yeah, and I'm way over 30 so fuck you.

distressed jeans. i.e. ripped jeans.

[quote]Converse are classic. I have three pairs, though I live the low-rise, not the high-tops. Yeah, and I'm way over 30 so fuck you.

Converse are classic, I think most would agree regardless of whether they like the look.

The question isn't whether the article if clothing is classic, it's how it looks on the wearer. Chick Taylors may not have changed a bit since the 1920s, but I reckon R95 shows his age

They're sneakers. I've been wearing Converse for years. They look just fine.

Fashion jock straps not for use in actual sports.

Not so much as a fashion item but people who refuse to go up a size or two when they put on weight in their 30s and 40s.

Unfortunately some women (and men!) have Mariah Carey syndrome and hold onto those outfits they could pull off in their 20s, which looks awful once the spread begins. We all gain a few pounds at some point, clothes that actually fit look much better.

Heels, unless you walk with grace and don't look like a learning disabled T-rex.

I stretch and practice the rare times I do wear them.

I have enormous flat feet and no sneaker is more comfortable for me than Converse so frankly OP I could give a damn

Wow someone should've started a thread about Converse/Chuck Taylors instead. And I can tell most of you are WAY over 30 since that's apparently the only sneaker most of you own and are familiar with

I'm old enough to wear what I like to wear.

Funny, R104, those were the words of the worm-eaten brain of Baby Jane Hudson.

I didn't know Rosie had lost so much weight.

Maybe some butt contour pads?

My contribution. Senior men in denim clam digger pants. Also tee shirts and work out shirts worn outside a gym. I went out and bought three pairs of khaki shirts today because I shouldn’t wear work out shorts outside of the gym. I’m also giving up tee shirts. Only short sleeved shirts now.

No T-shirts outside of a gym?

Jesus Fucking Christ.

Are jeans and a T-shirt okay for men? Because that is all I wear.

tshirts are fine.

This cunt OP must look like a geezer.

What a douche.

I will be buried in a hoodie and Gucci Sneakers. Hopefully soon so I never have to read of one of this loser's fashion etiquette posts again.

Eat me, darlin'..

If I see one more 85 year old in a thong, I'm going to scream.

T-shirts are déclassé.

"I wear what I want. I don't look ridiculous at all."

[quote]Wow someone should've started a thread about Converse/Chuck Taylors instead. And I can tell most of you are WAY over 30 since that's apparently the only sneaker most of you own and are familiar with

No, it's because we're wise enough not to spend $200 on a pair of Nikes that more suited to a younger person. Cons are classic as far as sneakers go. What would you have 50+ yo men wear for sneakers? Gucci or some other overpriced and pretentious designer sneaker? To impress whom?

As long as you don't wear Abercrombie or Hollister (with big labels) over the age of 40- I am good.

Fuck this slag OP.

If you wear Brunello Cucinelli, OP- I Givenchy(give) you 3 points.

If you wear Dockers? Eat me raw. Slag!

Only on DL are T shirts "low class."

Crusty old man elbows that look like a shriveled up scrotum ought to be covered.

What's the cut off for hoochie daddy shorts?

ITA

Tank tops and overalls are fine at any age if you are doing physical work. It doesn't matter what shape you in. Honest work is hot.

R121 is my BITCH. Amen.

I’m a little tired of people trying to enforce their ideology on others peoples bodies. You don’t want to wear converse shoes? Don’t. But if others do that’s their right. If you don’t like it too bad.

I'm not going to stop wearing T-shirts. Ever.

And R123 needs my love.

Who the FUCK is this ugly OP?

Wearing her stank Sears Overalls and stained t shirt from fruit of the motherfucking loom!

I love fashion and hate OP! (NO Abercrombie over 40 though) Serious- You look like a FOOL.

I design some of my own clothes. No, not pirate shirts with puffy sleeves but distinctive enough. I can do it given the work in.

I want R126 to make love to me. That is COOL!!!

[quote]You think you’re expressing individuality but it’s not when 1000’s of other dowdy fraus like you are doing it too.

Do you say this to every bottle blonde woman, too? How about all the women who dye their hair red?

[quote]Some would argue converse actually are basketball shoes.

They're also worn for skateboarding.

I think ‘bad’ taste is much more interesting - it would be so boring if people of a certain age have a prescribed way of dressing.

[quote]I’m also giving up tee shirts. Only short sleeved shirts now.

Tee shirts ARE short sleeved shirts. Are you talking about cholo-looking button downs or food service worker-looking polos?

Some things look horrible on anyone of any sex or age, in my opinion, and these include anything that exposes or highlights excess body fat, acne, or back hair, shredded jeans, multiple piercings and stretched out earlobes.

This will not be a popular view, but facial hair if it is grey makes the wearer look older and shabbier.

I've never liked the standard Converse canvas sneakers. They look downmarket.

I love low top All Stars. They are comfortable, come in lots of colors, and are inexpensive. I wear them all the time when I am out for short walks. I am in my 50s, and I do not care what OP or anyone else thinks about what I wear. When going on long walks I wear classic Doc Martens. I have never found a better walking shoe than Docs.

Let's see if this causes OP to keel over from apoplexy: When I wear Chucks, I usually wear a different color on each foot.

I'm 70. I have worn converse since I was 12. I still wear them but only low rise in white, navy and black. Problem is that they are no longer made as well so I don't wear them too frequently. I'm in Paris and I'm spending a lot of time in stores and cafes looking at stylish men my age. I'm happy to report that there are many. I'm retired from the fashion industry but I try to come to Paris twice a year to refresh my eye. The innate style of most older Parisian men put American men of all ages to shame. The big deal is keep the weight off the mid section because the truth is that it really doesn't matter what you wear in most areas of the US. People young and old basically look like shit these days. Just stay in shape and avoid looking ridiculous and desperately trying to pass as young. When the fruit is no longer ripe on the vine, it still has its attributes.

[quote]There’s a very uptight woman at my office over 40 who always wears them on casual Friday's

Friday's is the name of a bar, OP. Fridays are days of the week.

I wish I could still wear Converse but they don’t have enough support.

[quote]I love low top All Stars... I wear them all the time... I am in my 50s, and I do not care what OP or anyone else thinks about what I wear.

Clearly. But why not just carry on, then if you don't care?

[quote]When going on long walks I wear classic Doc Martens. I have never found a better walking shoe than Docs.

Of course you do. We suspected as much, you wacky bitch

[quote]Let's see if this causes OP to keel over from apoplexy: When I wear Chucks, I usually wear a different color on each foot.

You twice wacky in two colors bitch! So bold! So brave! And with your harlequin clown pantalones, too? Tell me it's not true!

T-shirts are an undergarment.

R139 hasn't been out of his house much since before WWII.

I'll admit that I wear a shirt with a collar more often than not these days

Pigtails. Maybe braids, but you're pushing it.

I like old hippies in braids.

I know a man - 52 - who has everything - frosted tips, seashell necklace, super tan, jewelry, rolled up cuffed jean shorts, etc. It's seriously embarrassing. Every event he attends, there are groups staring. My friend says "you can have ONE of those" but that combo of all the various out-of-date trendy things is too much.

He's married to a much younger guy. Perhaps he feels self conscious.

As if OP is some kind of adjudicator for the clothes of others....

Get a clue, OP.

R144 Just let him live in 1997 forever!

Backwards baseball caps unless you're under 21.

What R100 said.

Wear your style but one size up is not only very forgiving but also shows you´re not trying too hard. Clothing doesn´t have to be skin tight to show off a good physique.

I will, R138. Contributing to the conversation ≠ capitulation to OP's demands.

I'm not really sure what is wacky about stating that Docs are great walking shoes. You seem unpleasant.

You know what's worse than overalls, R11? Overalls worn with one strap.

That's going from yokel to ... sub-yokel? There was a guy on a recent Australian Survivor that showed up with this look. I hated him on sight bc of it.

Tank tops, muscle slit shirts and overalls sans shirt are acceptable for those blessed with big pecs that jut out.

Older guys with huge tits need to expose them

^ there should be a law!

There should be law

I wear old school Chuck Taylor's at my age of 48 but I'm a Lesbian so I'm to be excused I do dare say. I'm also really tall and slender and have narrow feet. The wacky colored and printed Chuck Taylor's I don't wear because that's just tacky and it puts me in the mind of Punky fucking Brewster.

I think there should be a law that ladies of a certain age have to wear nylons with skirts and dresses if they are not to groom their legs beforehand and have varicose veins. I saw something gross pertaining to that recently, a lady in a cute summer dress with stubble, a road map of varicose veins, and unmoisturized legs at a rather nice restaurant. It was foul because she was otherwise gorgeous!

Men I think need to pick a bit of something after a certain age. Just a bit but not the whole thing, kinda like how my Olive Oil like built and I do with the sneakers. I could wear tight casual clothes with my long ass legs at the forefront like tights or yoga pants but I'm 48 and fuck it.

Urban posters, what's the cut off age for Jordans? Since Chuck Taylor's apparently can be worn by 80 year olds according to this thread...

Some of you cunts are worse than Anna Wintour

I'm 61 and wear regular cut jeans and a t-shirt most of the time

Just to piss you guys off I’m going to dusty of my old Converse hightops and wear them.

Hiss! Hiss! r159! Hiss!

Fashion advice from a lesbian?

I didn't realize Converse made their sneakers just for people 30 and under. Are you saying this because they became fashionable in the 2000s for teens and twentysomethings? Because they were around long before that. My grandfather actually worked in the factory that made them.

I hope all you Chuck Taylor fans use orthotic inserts because they offer ZERO arch support.

Fishnets

Turbans

Turbans? Am I Gloria Fucking Swanson?

R7 has the most W&W I've ever seen on DL, so it's pretty funny reading the snippy comments mocking him.

OP is going to be MISERABLE when he turns 30, and his life will only get worse from there. Imagine aging past 30 with the attitude that your continued existence is. source of shame.

Open toed shoes are to be scrupulously avoided.

Jorts of any kind. Hideous.

Anything from the Steve Grande collection.

r162 I think like OP said, its just that Chuck Taylors are normally the default sneaker for middle aged/old people on casual days. Its ok to explore the huge world of sneakers beyond Chuck Taylors. And just like r163 said they actually offer very little support for your feet, Im not quite 40 and I need more arch support lol

[quote]Turbans? Am I Gloria Fucking Swanson?

Congratulations you win the 1991 award

She’s ready for her closeup

People can wear whatever they want at any age, but Chuck Taylor all stars are indeed terrible for your feet. There's a reason actual basketball players stopped wearing them a few hundred years ago. I'm 50 and I stopped wearing them in my 30s because they caused so many feet and back problems for me.

I think baseball caps are the only hats that look good on older men, if they otherwise dress conservatively that is (dress shoes, long/short sleeve shirt, etc.)

I often see older men wearing a flatcap, trilby, borsalino, etc. and they always look precious and silly.

Ageism looks utterly stupid on anyone at any age. It reveals a major lack of a development and low intelligence. It’s so unappealing.

R12 up until you said that, I was thinking that OP & others were the judgemental ones and need to just let people wear what they want to feel like themselves, but I guess if I’m honest I am actually a fragrance snob.

Because a woman in her 30s wearing a celebrity or very popular basic fragrance—Alien, Angel, Cloud, Daisy, Juicy, Lady Million, Pink Sugar, Poison, any makeup counter frag like Lauder, any Vicky’s Secret, any Britney or Beyoncé or JLO etc.—in her daily life, to the office and the gym and the grocery store? She has to also be super hot, to offset her horrible juvenile taste.

Sorry, but I just cannot lick out a girl who smells like a lingerie outlet, A&F or a D!sney Store in a flyover mall. It feels creepy to smell ‘pink’ scents on grown women, I suppose because of the teen girl connotation. Tbf it tends only to be the cubefrauen, or closet-cases or promiscuous bi girls who do this.

Abeg, pretty adult bisexual ladies—either invest in a niche/boutique scent (doesn’t have to be expensive, Euro drugstores or bodegas carry interesting ones), or forgo it altogether in the daytime and find some high-grade deer musk oil for bedroom activity.

R175 is right. Quite aside from the fashion aspect, if you have developed sore feet as you age or because of over-exercise, lay off the Converse. Plantar fasciitis in particular loves a dead-flat shoe. Unless your feet feel perfectly fine, get out of sandshoes and flat sandals or ballet flats and into shoes with some arch support and where the heel sits higher than the ball of the foot, like quality trainers or fashionable boots. Even quite high heels are better for over-40s' feet than ballet flats, though for that the ankles also have to be able to keep you balanced, which gets harder as you age.

My contribution to OP's question is, any item of clothing, combination or accessory meant to be considered Cute or Zany. They should be gone before 25, though you may be pardoned for their use to some extent at Christmas. Witty can be a lifelong effect, but it's a tricky thing to manage well.

The way Brit men doing punditry aged 35-55 dress these days, pairing too tight normcore jerseys or henleys with drab skinny jeans and non-athletic high-cuff trainers. On television, no less.

Please, either find a suit, or just commit and wear the hoodie you clearly want. This no-man’s land inspires and flatters no-one.

Jeggings. (Though I think usually worn by women?) Looks like sausage casing around your legs.

Am currently in my garage rocking black denim short-shorts, aware that I probably should not wear them off my property as I'm 30, may nor may not abide by the guideline.

OP I have refused to take on therapists on the grounds that they have pink or purple hair. Reckon it's a sound litmus test.

You can wear skinny jeans at any age..... providing you are skinny

A 400 pound 20 year old looks worse in skinny jeans than a 160 pound 70 year old. Or in any clothing at all actually

R163, I do, actually. Thank you for your concern, total stranger.

[quote]I think baseball caps are the only hats that look good on older men, if they otherwise dress conservatively that is (dress shoes, long/short sleeve shirt, etc.)

A baseball cap whould be worn with dress shoes?

I prefer wearing a baseball cap on sunny days. I think sunglasses make people look douchey.

Miniskirts

Lol …ok fag gramps

No woman is wearing miniskirts for your old ass

Who wants to bet that R190 is single?

R190 if I am a "fag", then I am the first frau fag you ever encountered in this life.

Women used to know that after thirty, skirts must reach the knee at very least.

No wonder I have R190 blocked.

And then women realized they can wear what they like, even if you don’t like it.

You are definitely a fag, no matter what’s between your heaving blubbery thighs r192

Jorts, especially cut off ones.... just no. Get some regular shorts.

Cargo shorts that are so long they go down half the length of your calves.... it's not the late 90s

I don't mind leggings, jeggings or athleisure but they can't be so sheer that you can see skin and underwear; they can't be so fitted or high cut in the crotch that we can see your genitals, and they should fit properly and not be so tight that you get muffin body everywhere due to the compression.

Rainbow colored, pastel or other crayola colored hair dye - not over 30 please. It doesn't even look good on the youth.

Nose rings / stretched out piercings

Shoes that are purposely ugly ( "Oh wow! Look at these hideous vintage 1980 waffle wedges! I must have them!" - fine when you're under 30. not so much later)

Cargo shorts are on trend for the young in 2022 r196

You are 70 years old, aren’t you

R197- no, I'm not. I'm 52. I also didn't say I didn't like cargo shorts. I just don't like the too-long ones, that go past the knee.

So r198 is this just a list of trendy items you don’t like or are you answering the topic of the thread.

R199 I don't think my list is really about trends... jorts, cargo shorts and leggings/athleisure aren't really trendy, they've been around for a long time. The colored hair dye I guess is trendy. It's about things no one, really ever should wear in the context described.

I'm always trying to track down Boy Scout shorts. But you either have to pay designer prices or shop vintage and most vintage won't fit my modern ass and 33-34 waist size.

R65 tbf I have seen a few bodybuilder Linda Hamilton type lesbians who look unreal in a tank.

But yeah they're really garments designed for the really ripped and muscular. The normies and those who don't live in the gym ought not ever wear them out in public (a comfy soft worn one as a nightshirt when you're sleeping alone is fine though...)

Right. So not the context of the thread then r200

Crop tops on obese people, no matter what age, look absurd and disgusting.

Too tight clothing on anyone, even attractive people. Are you advertising something?

For r143…

Just went to a concert a couple weeks ago where the teens/20s who were there were trying to look sexy or fashionable, and there should probably be a thread for them. Thunder thighs don't look good in tight short shorts. Bare middles don't look good with overhanging fat. And more.

R202 I wear tank tops, but then I do a lot of swimming, like an hour plus a day, so I am reasonably toned. You're right though, they dont look great on people who are completely sedentary and fat

I really, really hate tattoos on girls or women. I don't know of a single instance where they don't make the wearer look trashier.

R208 I agree that tattoos are trashy, but why make a distinction by sex? Seems kind of needlessly prejudiced to say.

Most men look awful with ink doodled all over their skin, too, with the exception of tribal elders or Hells Angels or pirates who one expects to have tattoos.

I don't have the same reaction to some tattoos on men. I'm not a fan, but they don't necessarily make a man look trashier.

Why?

Am not R209, but appreciate their question to as to why you “make a distinction by sex?”, R208?

“Seems kind of needlessly prejudiced to say.” As R209 says, you come across as misogynistic, R208.

I am not misogynistic, I have a highly developed esthetic eye. Except for those in uniform, those whose clothing is chosen for them, like small children, or the severely impoverished, every piece of clothing, every adornment, every accessory, is a choice, a personal statement which either enhances or detracts from the wearer's appearance.

I don't think tattoos enhance a man's appearance, but sometimes they are neutral. For women and girls, IN MY OBSERVATION and OPINION, they always detract, both in diminishing the wearer's beauty and lowering their apparent class status.

Of course, you are free to disagree.

[quote] I think there should be a law that ladies of a certain age have to wear nylons with skirts and dresses if they are not to groom their legs beforehand and have varicose veins. I saw something gross pertaining to that recently, a lady in a cute summer dress with stubble, a road map of varicose veins, and unmoisturized legs.

Being rather pale (Welsh ginger) and having bad circulation and skin as a hereditary issue, I've had purple & green spider veins all up my legs, as well as visible pockmarks and moles and acne scars/rosacea etc., since my teens. It makes me feel so self-conscious, and sometimes even hate my body though I'm lucky to be healthy and not fat. Confidence enough to start dating is out of the question, looking like this.

Sadly, I can't afford to get them zapped or whatever, and the procedure sounds dangerous and painful.

Pretentious MARY

Voluptuous straight women who dress like street hookers. I don't get the appeal of that look in any place other than their own bedrooms.

These women look trashy and whore-ish. I assume they have low self-esteem and live for the the straight male gaze? Some straight women aren't very bright, they seem to think a man's opinion is the most important. Those who claim they can dress any way they want because they are feminists, these types are too stupid to see they are still being exploited.

Tattoos usually point to massive self-loathing, unless a person has small tat in a discreet area. On the other hand, covering your entire body usually points to some sort of mental illness. Most of the people I've ever known with too many tattoos definitely had mental health issues.

Tattoos went mainstream in the 90s gramps

Now go back to your coma

For those that don’t like the pink and blue hair on older women, I have a relative that does this sometimes. The reason is, once your hair turns white, it holds light colored hair dye very easily without bleaching. So you can dye your hair light colors without having to strip it.

Meanwhile, a lot of older people become allergic to the harsh chemicals in regular permanent dyes as they age. There are colorful temporary hair dyes that don’t have ammonia and are much milder and can be tolerated more easily. After a certain age, that’s the only kind you can tolerate for a lot of people. So, some of these people are wearing pink and blue because it’s temporary dye and they can do it with the least damage to their hair and scalp. Also, as you age, you can no longer look good in black and dark brown dyed hair. Your skin doesn’t match the hair color and it looks bad. So for some, the best alternative to white hair is dyed light colors. Going natural for some complexions means white skin and white hair and white face, you look like an old white blob. Very washed out and bland. Older people look better wearing color near their face. And people with olive or yellow complexions don’t look good in blonde hair, it makes them look jaundiced. Think of blonde Kim Kardashian or blonde Cher. It doesn’t suit them. So the color options are limited.

Also, when dark brown haired people go gray, their color palette completely changes to something they have no idea how to dress for. It goes from autumn to winter. So it’s a big adjustment, none of their clothes are the right color. Pinks and blues are winter colors in the range of some of their new colors. So that might be part of it too.

The washed out colors are because they can only tolerate temporary dyes and they’re getting washed out.

I found this out when an older relative started talking about doing her hair different colors. It’s just another shitty thing about getting old that people are trying to make the best of.

Some straight women aren’t very bright and live for the male gaze because they have perhaps been taught since birth and live in a society that very much encourages them to do that.

OMG, it's the "gramps" "fag" troll with a new account. FF.

One would think if you have such a low opinion of people with tattoos, you wouldn't know enough of them to be able to judge their mental health as a group.
