I agree, but whenever I come across these threads I think of a woman I used to know. She was the biggest amateur fashion and beauty critic I've ever met -- she frequently brought up fashion trends just to trash them or make fun of people for wearing them. I remember once being out with her and a couple friends and seeing a woman walking by in an outfit I really liked. I said "oooh, I love what that woman is wearing, do you think it would be weird to take a pic so I can google it all later?" I mostly said it as a joke (I didn't actually photograph this woman though I still remember her outfit) but I meant the compliment. Meanwhile, Ms. Fashion Critic immediately ripped into me, saying stuff like "I guess you could buy that outfit, if you wanted to look ridiculous," and then detailing everything she thought was wrong with it. It was such an over the top response. Most people, even if they didn't like the outfit, would just say... nothing. At most, a very opinionated person would say "huh, that's not my thing." But this woman went full Joan Rivers on it. It was very aggressive.

But here's the thing: she was terribly dressed. Like she never once wore an outfit I'd call flattering or fashionable. She frequently wore clothes that were at least a size too small, so her pants were always riding down and her shirts riding up. She'd pair mustard yellow with bright purple. Like I'm too live and let live to have ever actually commented on her clothes, but I can't imagine someone less qualified to be a fashion critic.

So that's who I think of when I see the comments on this website. I have no idea if it's lack of self awareness or insecurity, but I don't think the people angrily criticizing every trend and making fun of other women for wearing clothes they like and feel good in is always particularly chic or polished. Which is why I'd never take the criticism of weirdos on this site seriously. Many of them are probably at home wearing weirdly clashing, too tight clothes, thinking they know something we don't.


Now I'm super curious about what the outfit was.

I like 3/4 sleeves because I think they are flattering, and also work well under a blazer. I have a lot of other pet peeves when it comes to sleeves. I really don't like the trend of really long sleeves that hang over your hands -- I guess that's more of thing with the young 20's, but it looks so juvenile and "lost" to me -- like I slept over at my boyfriends and forgot to bring a clean shirt, so here I am wearing his sweater and the arms are way too long. I also hate the puffy balloon sleeves--that's the kind of thing that works very occasionally as a big statement look, but the designers went way overboard with it and threw it onto everything for a while.
And I totally agree on the cropped suit pants -- they look so weird and unprofessional to me, and really force you to wear uncomfortable shoes like heels. I think this look is around out though -- Melania Trump wore it all the time in the first Trump administration, but she seems to be wearing normal length suit pants now.

And I hate bands. I'm always surprised when someone pushes their bangs aside how much better they look and they don't realize it.

Like this Agatha Raisin character. Her bangs are so GD distracting. I think she must wear a wig to have her fringe be so perfectly exactly in her eyes for all the filming.



and here's the actress with more of a side bang. Much better. I hate a thick bang and a thick SHORT bang, don't even get me started.


I don’t find her bangs distracting at all. Lots of people would look much better with some hair on their forehead.


I am one of those people who need bangs. My forehead is so low and I have a sharp nose. I think the bangs help a bit, but I really wish I could do away with them. But at least they hide a few wrinkles now!


Agreed. My face is not symmetrical and one eyebrow is higher than the other. Bangs completely hide that and I just look much cuter with them.

Before they invented the term "midi", that was just a normal skirt length -- not short, not long. I don't feel like that is a "trend" that can go out. It's just a skirt.


I feel like midi falls mid-calf and that length is too long for me but no one ever has "just below knee-length as a choice which is what I want.


Midi seems to refer to anything from knee length to what used to be called tea length. It's basically anything that is not either short or really long. I think it's a dumb term and should be retired. Midi is not a word. The concept I'm fine with -- I appreciate having an option that is below my knee but not tripping me on the Metro escalator. (Ladies, if you're wearing a maxi skirt, hitch it up on the escalator -- I've seen so many near accidents with people tripping on their own or others' skirts. Back in olden times when women wore long skirts, they knew that you have to hitch it up for certain things.)


I think of just-below-knee as very '80s and early '90s. Haven't seen it in ages. Just above knee was a thing for a while and I just saw a video that says it's coming back from luxury retailers. Would be thrilled if it was coming back in general - as a petite I can't do any tea length (which is what most midis are) and I don't have the legs for mini lengths.

I love the men's quarter zip thing and hope it stays forever. I think it's really flattering on almost every body type, plus they can wear it over a collared button down or a T-shirt and it looks fine either way. The crew neck over a button down always looks very early 80s to me. And my husband won't just wear a "sports coat" or whatever they now call a casual blazer for me. That's the other option over a dress shirt that looks decent.

I agree with you about the camouflage and the sockless dress shoes, fake lashes and tattoos. The colored hair doesn't really bother me -- I don't really see it as a trend, it's a certain niche, and they are welcome to it if it makes them happy.

Honest question: do people think Kylie is “prettier” now than before all her treatments?

I am not a fan of the K fan look and I remember the first time I saw a pic of Kylie like 10 years ago when she was a late teen and being struck by how beautiful she was. Now I think she just looks maga face or Instagram face or whatever we are calling it. Neither beautiful nor ugly but just…. That look. I’m surprised people are saying she’s pettier with the lips etc.

In truth it made Kylie Jenner go from simply average —> simply gorgeous.

W/o her lip fillers trust me, she never would have had a successful beauty and clothing line.

Sad but true……..


She got a whole new face. But yes, her lips are well done.
