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

I could see that top with some ripped skinny jeans.

Expensive purses that have typical handles, and then has a removable thin shoulder strap that clips on with metal clasps. I can't fathom spending $3000 on these beautiful work of art purses, where the proportions between the bag and handles are so perfect, and then you use the shoulder strap - that best case looks like an afterthought with its little metal clips - and now have these superfluous handles on the bag that clutter against your body. I HATE this so much!

Agreed. Except I’d ditch the little handles and keep the long strap. Ain’t no one got time to carry a purse in one’s hand.

Amen.

YES boob pockets are the absolute worst- see the Trump fashion thread for examples!!

So cute in the summer.

Tight jeans that looked glued to your body. I do love booties.

Haha I love so many of these

Love puffy sleeves. I’m tall with really narrow shoulders and they help to balance my proportions.

Love booties since they keep my ankles warm. Hate current trend of bare ankles since they get too cold.

Love maxi dresses, they are so easy (one piece) and usually look good on me.

Love short tops/ crop tops.Since I’m tall but really short waisted regular length shirts make me look dumpy.

Things I don’t care for are strapless dresses or bell sleeves... usually the proportions don’t work.

Strapless dresses. They don’t look good on anyone and all I think is prom 2001

I love turtlenecks, the waterfall cardigans, and a slight puffed sleeve. I’ve got a super long neck with a really small rib cage and not chest to speak of, and all those styles just seem to be flattering on me.
I agree mock turtlenecks are a hard look that doesn’t flatter almost anyone.
Hate the shredded jeans. I don’t know why anyone would buy those. They are such a thirsty look!
I also hate breast pockets—I know the big chested ladies hate them but they look equally bad on small chested women! No one wants a pocket to outshine their boobs.

They look good on Halle Barry. I agree they don’t look good on most people—big chested, small chested, doesn’t seem to work for either.

And Sophia Vergara. She can be "boring" in that she repeats silhouettes often, but she knows what works for her and owns it. Otherwise agreed, 99% of women look like crap in strapless, so glad that wedding trend is over.

+1, I think it's the dumb little handles that ruin the look of a bag, so just get one where the long strap is integral to the design.

Top PP, you must be really hating the aftermarket salt straps:https://www.shoppesalt.com/pages/salt-in-the-street.

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.

Just a touch can look snappy with an otherwise neutral outfit — a knitted silk zebra scarf, say, or a leopard flat. But more than that — I’m with you.

Agreed. I don't like the straps on any bag. I promptly toss the straps aside. I can't imagine carrying a purse by those silly straps, and I've never understood why it's an option.

Agreed. Something very Carol Baskin/Tiger King about wearing animal print.

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.
