What "regular" style features ruins a look for you?

I get that this is practically a neutral for a lot of people, but even the most beautiful, tailored piece just looks well, cheap (to me) once you throw on some cheetah print or zebra stripes.

I've never liked it.

You must have small breasts. My D cups need a bra.

Same. And if anyone has a good recommendation for a good sports bra, link it here. Mine wasn't working too well this morning during my workout. The mere thought of doing anything active and braless is utterly painful.

Yes, I was thinking this, too. Cropped tops and oversized tops/sweaters are both popular right now and both seem very 90's. I did both in the 90's but now would only consider the oversized.

Actually, most women have a body shape where the waist is your smallest point, regardless of size. It's much more flattering to draw attention to your waistline than to have a longer shirt that hits at your widest point (your hips.)

In 7th grade, my friends and I vowed to not join the flares club. We did.....

But flares cropped? No.

Same.

And many people will disagree but: jumpsuits and rompers. And clothing item that does not enable ease in the bathroom is suspect.

Agree, 1000%. Ugh, not attractive at all.

Do you think layering a shirt over top of your pouch makes it look smaller?

No, but I don't wear shirts that are too tight, or too long. I mean, I'll wear a tunic sweater with leggings, but otherwise, I aim for the length in the first link below. The shorter tops (second link) do me no favors.

A brief history of the pussy bow. Now I love them even more. Look at Coco Chanel in 1913–fierce!!

I’ve got a unique shape in the sense that I’m petite (5’4) with wide shoulders. I think a lot of this had to do with body shape - mock necks and turtlenecks look good on me because of my broad shoulders, relatively long neck and small boobs. I love a good animal print but my husband hates them and I can see how it can look tacky, but agree with a PP who said a touch can look fab (for example black on black cheetah print can be very subtle but nice).

I don’t love the look of long sweaters/dusters on young women - it screams homeless or grandma to me. That being said, longer sweaters on an older woman can look very elegant. I also think the vest trend was not very complimentary to most women.

I was on the romper bandwagon in my twenties but laughed so hard at that comic!

Yes, the Olsen twins wore them a lot during their hobo couture days.
