Which one's got you goat, back here and in your respective homelands.

I'll kick off with some one's i hate from the UK.

Girl's with big bellies in cut off t-shirts.

Men with big bellies in cut off t-shirts.

Those people who wear about 7 different coloured rubber wrist-bands, despite not knowing or advocating what they mean.

Mullets (quite the revival back home, i haven't a clue why?!?). Also the very spikey look with the shaved sides deserves a mention.

Pink shirts for men.

Groups of young men (usually students) wearing hawaii shirts thinking they are wacky/crazy!

Men over 30 wearing three quarter length trousers. Definitely a sign of repressed homosexuality.

Goths!!!!!!!!!! Its 30 degrees outside and actually they look stupid in snow and rain as well.

Men wearing scarves when its not even cold.

Groups of 'gary lager' *beeps* with fake tans and shirts with big collars.

Caps where people haven't bothered to bend the peak in the middle.

A suit jacket worn with a t shirt and jeans.

Anything by Nike.

BOHO, where essentially you dress like a tramp/baglady, but a tramp who can afford to pay big bucks for a coat. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/fashion/main.jhtml?xml=/fashion/2004/12/06/efboho06.xml

People with 'babe', 'I love chocolate', 'I hate boys' etc. on their t-shirts. Pound shop specials.


Can korea/canada/wherever compete with this list of dreadful fashion crimes.

Why do the unbent caps bother you? Is that a bit arbitrary?
I think the suit jack with jeans is a bit hot.

i dislike the bagginess of all the clothes in korea.

where can a guy get a slim-fitting dress shirt or dress pants that don't flap in the wind?

ROBT.

Pink shirts are HOT on a man, but those 3/4 trousers, or flood pants, as I call them, have to go!!!!!

Che Guevera t-shirts on- anybody, really, but especially on 13 yr olds who are also wearing sparkly make-up etc.

The only plus to this is that it probably pisses Fidel off too.

One of the most tragic, and prevalent, fashion disasters I see is perpetrated predominantly by males. More specifically, white males in their early 30s to late 40s.

The recipe is very simple: tapered jeans with the cuff resting on top off a pair of putrid Nike cross-trainers.

Example of vomitous shoes:



The funny thing is that you'll see a variety of shirts worn with this jean/shoe combo. T-shirts, polos, even a t-shirt and sports coat combo , otherwise known as the Jerry Seinfeld, are all common. It's also quite common for the perpetrator to wear the shirt tucked in, and most likely without a belt. This is all done to increase the impression that one gives absolutely zero thought to their appearance, thus improving their faction with transcendentalists and other fashionably anti-fashion types (hey, I'm trying to give them at least some credit).

Here is a picture of a woman wearing the style I described:



Here's a picture of Jerry Seinfeld perfectly demonstrating "The Jerry Seinfeld".

Doubled-up polo shirts with the collars flipped up.

The horizontal striped pattern long sleeve t-shirts that make everyone look like a russian sailor.

White pin-striped blazers over a pink or turquoise shirt.

And the #1 fashion mistake I see in Korea........black suits with brown shoes. I saw a dude at Seoul Station with a f'n awesome suit on, and he was wearing crappy brown loafers.

I agree with the baggy clothes for women, why can't they be fitten and flattering, if I wanted baggy I could buy mens clothes.

Also, I really hate the pinstripe suit with the pinstripe shirt and don't forget the pinstripe tie....overkill.

And if your gonna bother to wear a suit might I suggest black socks instead of white, its just common sense.

actually, the all-knowing Yangpa has an article on this issue entitled "Korean Worst-Dressed List Results in 257-Way Tie".

(yes, the plug in my signature is not enough)

The black, pinstripe suit witha pink tie ... oh yeah, and the '80s 'shag' cut.
