Fashion no nos
In July 2005, we asked you what the opposite sex wore that really turned you off and it didn’t come as any big surprise to find out that a whole heap of gals out there agree with us - that those low-riding, boxer-short-revealing- pants are the BIGGEST turn-off ever!
As to what some of the guys had to say … read on …
From the blokes:
- Girls that wear long pants or jeans underneath a mini-skirt. It looks disgusting and makes me want to look the other way
- Loose ties with any outfit - it’s insane. Seeing people walk down the road in jeans and a t-shirt with a loose tie just makes me want to run. Modelling yourself after that teeny bopper (cough) wildchild pop princess Avril Lavigne and calling it … fashion???
- Wearing outrageously tight tops when the wearer has fat or skin to spare. Ones that come up the midriff and expose love handles etc. Reeevolting.
- Those caramel coloured fluffy brown Eskimo boots - YUUUUUCK
- Long neck skivvies
- Girls that wear clothes tat are too small for them and think that they look so hot. Bad decision!
- Too much eye shadow
- I saw a girl in the mall on the w/e whose belly button was showing due to her small top. Like, come on! It’s the middle of winter …
- Ladies that wear baggy clothes and hoodies like guys wear are bloody terrible
- When chicks wear too much pink or white or wear tight tops that expose their midriffs
- Designer gumboots. Are people really that stuck for interesting things to wear that they turn to ridiculously expensive gumboots???
- Putting on too much make-u
- Bras
- When chicks put on enough make-up to feed Africa
And from the girls:
- Too much hair product or having their pants down so low they walk like ducks
- Socks with jandals - a definite nono.
- Eyebrow piercings - only a few can pull it off
- Skin tight jeans that cling to EVERY part
- Pants down at knees, boxer shorts exposed and BIG SHOES WITH NO LACES IN THEM
- Low riding jeans with brightly coloured boxers sticking out over the top, sooo gross!
- Hard out bling, aaaargh
- Trackpants and a baggy t-shirt eeeewwwww
- Wearing a size too small - especially trackpants
- Wearing leather pants
- Ohmigod. Seriously, the worst fashion mistake made by guys is when they wear those really low, low jeans that go way down under their asses but with scary embarrassing boxers pulled way up so chicks see all the little bart simpsons on skateboards. Like, ew!!
- Sivvies under singlets - especially if they’re the same colour
- Hallo … boxers are UNDERWEAR not OVERWEAR
- Stupid lookin’ beanie things that guyz wear coz they think they are cool when they actually remind me of the tea pot warmers that my nana knits. Don’t get me wrong. I like beanies. I just don’t like the coloured tea pot warmers.
- Pink pastel shirts worn by guys hitting on chicks
- Socks pulled up to the knees (with stubbies???!!)
- Short shorts - especially with hairy legs. Not a cool look!!
- Low riders are the WORST fashion disaster in the history of man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Mullets - hate them with a vengeance
- Dreads and baggy old gross clothes
- Stone wash jeans, jean jackets worn with white sneakers
- I hate and I really mean HATE the combat jeans that some guys insist on wearing - you know, the straight wide leg with the pale coloured stitching and gazillions of pockets
AND FINALLY … this has to be the Pulse team’s personal favourite …
- Pink Chuck Taylors worn with speedos (aaarghh - whatever was he thinking of?)
