That sounds like an entirely different problem.

Wouldnt be a deal breaker, no. If I liked her I'd still date her. But once I got comfortable with her I'd make fun of her every time she wore em around me to the point where she'd probably stop, at least when I'm around.

Deal breaker for me... Well, not uggs, specifically... But those shorts that are relatively tight and come down to a girl's knees? BOO! I can't hide my anti-attraction for those things.

[FireFly]

Women who justify paying $200 on ugly ass clothes that look ######ed by saying "they're in right now and in 20 years you'll laugh at everything you wore." No, I won't. I wear clothes that look good on me, not what's "in fashion". Of all the things mentioned in this thread I only own Uggs and the only reason I do is because my feet were so swollen, they were the only things other than Crocs I could get my feet into. I hated that they were all I could wear and I hated wasting $150 on something I'd use for one month only. They're stupid looking. There are other warm cozy things you can wear on your feet that aren't as ghey. If you weren't such a slave to 'fashion' perhaps you'd realize that they aren't 'cool', they're just ugly.

So I guess the fads I hate are clothing related... Wear what looks good, not what's 'in'. If it looks good, it's in.

And, btw, I have small sunglasses. Why? Because the big ones look ghey. Also, my face shape looks better with small ones. I don't need to hide my face and pretend I'm a diva. I'm not a diva and my face is fine. Perhaps you should ask yourself what you're hiding your face from.

reading this thread, I can tell I have way different taste in girls than the rest of CP (or atleast in this thread).

Spacer piercings

Well - I can't think of too many current fads since most of them have been listed. I was thinking more past fads that annoyed me.

[Ozy_Flame]

Don't forget that those oversized Chanel sunglasses tend to go hand-in-hand with Uggs and a dog in the purse, all of which are ghey fads that are laughable at best.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned LOLCats so far. I love the fad, but I know it's just that - a fad. 10 pages on, and narry a mention of it.

I can has more cheezburger?

Walk around Chinook Centre for 5 minutes.

Tea Cup Chiuahuas... I know like 4 people with them and it's extremely annoying at partys.

Sorry, ATR, but I hate the word 'like'.

Big sunglasses for girls are what hats are for guys, guys look hot in hats but as soon as he takes the hat off he's butt ugly.

No they aren't. Those shades make you look like a bug eyed freak and are only rarely an improvement over small shades.

Unless you have something to hide, there is nothing flattering about a girl wearing those.

This thread has / is slowly evolved from a "fads" thread to one of those "what annoys you" one... as some of the 'fads' aren't really fads.

But anyways, onto the purpose of my post:

The big ass sunglasses- brought in by Hollywood divas in an attempt to avoid paparazzi and attention in public (my opinion). Superstars wearing something automatically triggers a fashion trend and voila. So I guess what I'm saying is, if your a chick wearing oversized sunglasses, ask yourself, "is the paparazzi following me?" or "am I famous?"

If the answer is no, remove the sunglasses and get over yourself.

Another similar trend / fashion are the lays (I know I spelt this wrong) hanging from a chicks rearview mirror in their car. It used to be you'd see the lay and immediately know it would be a hot chick. Unfortunately the ugly ones caught on and this has tricked me several times.

Skinny jeans are suuuuuper ridiculous. You know how these started? They are actually GIRL jeans. Made for girls, that guys started wearing.

I wonder when dresses will become popular, but I know I won't hop on board.
