We all have clothing items that we think are impractical, uncomfortable, and just plain annoying. Tell me your least favorites! You can supply a reason but you don't have to.
For example:
Belts.
They're just so annoying! They look tacky, it's like 'Howdy partner, I'm the new sheriff in these parts'. They pinch you weirdly and they have more holes than are needed. I hate when people put their cell phones on their belt.
True. The only people who can wear them are super thin. I think they're fine if they have short sleeves, because then it's more like a little shoulder warmer thing. But that would be really impractical. Yeah jackets with a short waist aren't such a good idea...
I love belts, it can give women a waist and makes trousers look so much better. I can see what you mean about big buckles but not belts. :D
For me it is Sequin tops or dresses. It makes the person look like a disco ball. They catch the light and are really distracting. They also kind of freak me out!
Ugg boots are Uggly. Plus all the people who are 'popular' but not popular with me wear them. Tube tops are also not good, especially when they show the bellybutton.
This is more of a brand than an item, but Juicy Couture sweatshirts.
Not only are Uggs uggly, they're made of sheepskin. The sheep are castrated without painkillers and slaughtered while they're still consious and able to feel pain. There are so many other cruelty-free options, and Uggs aren't even that cute!
I hate Uggs!!! They are, indeed, Uggly. And Uggs are not worth the hundred-and-some dollars you have to pay for them. And, Chumsy17, I used to hate Uggs, but now I really hate them. Those poor sheep!!!!! It's sick. Sick sick sick sick.
They are pointless, they are uncomfortable (especially if you have flat feet) and they throw off your balance. Why my mom kept trying to get me to like the I don't know. Why are these monstrosities considered more professional than flat shoes? I think walking into a room without busting your butt is more professional.
Agreed. I can't even wear slightly raised shoes. I wanted to buy these shoes the other day but they weren't really flat, maybe with one inch heels. I tried to walk in them... and almost fell on top of some little kid. That's why I have never ever tried to walk in anything other than flats and sneakers again. Especially to dances, for some reason people think that wearing high heels is an obligation, when everyone knows that after an hour or so they're gonna end up barefoot anyways, or switching shoes xD
But seriously, I *love* having heels on my shoes. I'm a rather short person, so I do what I can so I don't have to ask someone any time I need something from the top shelf at the grocery store... They have to be comfortable, though. I have 10-cm-heels (that should be about 4 inches), and they are so comfy I can wear them on a shopping spree. But these are rare, so I unfortunately don't have many pairs of high heels. Shoes in which I can't even walk from the front door to the car are horrible, I'd never wear those...
I don't like stilettos, but I do like chunky heels. I have one pair of boots with a little tapered heel of between half an inch and an inch. That's the smallest heel I have. Everything else is the size of the actual heel of the shoe. Perfectly easy to walk in.
Yes high heels do get uncomfortable depending on how high you get, but I have to say I love them! Which kinda stinks since I'm already almost 5' 10" and I already tower over half of my friends. Anyway, back on point I do like stillettos every now and then, I could never wear them on a regular basis though.
I have to add my vote for the hatred of high heels. They just hurt so much and it's a kind of cultural thing that should be thrown out with foot-binding: women should suffer terribly to meet some ideal. NO.
Specifically, short shorts. I have jiggly thighs. They look terrible in short shorts. Bermuda shorts or guys' shorts are fine. Short shorts--no thanks.
I LOVE shorts. I'm a woman who refuses to wear skirts or dresses, because I find them uncomfortable, so if it's summer or I go somehwere hot shorts are the only option. That said, I agree with Itzika below me! Short shorts are grim. They're terribly uncomfortable. I wear men's shorts, down to the knee. I look scruffy, but I don't care!
I hate it when girls get these huge shirts that are so loose they have to tie them up. I mean, seriously, you should have bought a smaller shirt. It's understandable when you order them though (like at my school, where a medium is really an extra large xD).
I love turtle necks! I mean, there is a good chance that the turtle neck someone is wearing looks uber dorky, but there are some that are quite fetching!
Sweatshirts without a zipper in the front so if you want to take it off you have to slide it over your head, usually causing your shirt to go up a little bit. And everyone stares when you take one off in class, it's like 'I'm not crazy, I'm just trying to yank this sweatshirt off my head!'.
Thongs and G-strings. Why would anyone even wear them? My nephew laughs when I give him a wedgie, but does anyone actually enjoy them so much that they purposely buy underwear that do that? Really?
This right here. Apparently thongs can actually give you a UTI, too. But aside from that, my mom got an eyeful when she was watching my martial arts class and we were doing rolls. One of the women did a forward roll, her pants slid down, and she was wearing... guess what? Yeah.
Ha ha ha! Glad someone mentioned the infections because that freaks me out so much! My mum's always advised loose cotton knickers and she probably has a point!
^ this. I have no idea why anyone would wear those things. It's made of less fabric than a handkerchief, and the only time I tried wearing one I had the constant urge to pull at it. NEVER again.
Also, tights. They are useful and keep your legs warm and stuff, but I hate having to wear them. I usually go for stay-ups if the weather permits. At least they don't show above the waistband every time I lift my arms...
Shoes. No, really. Buying them is a nightmare as I refuse to wear anything that isn't 100% comfortable. Therefore I tend to live in hiking boots or flat sandals, depending on season. And don't get me started on the living hell that is stilettos.
I do not get the point of wearing leggings as pants. I can see the outline of people's underwear when the wear leggings without anything over them. My friend always wears them as pants and it drives me crazy! And she doesn't realize how... ridiculous it is.
"And my mom doesn't like it when I wear leggings without something to cover my butt so then I had to back upstairs and get my peacoat, and I can't wear my peacoat without a scarf, so then I had to find one!" she said when I saw her on Saturday.
Pantyhose!!!! ARRGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I loathe it, with my last breath I swear I will destroy this cursed article of formal clothing!!!!!!
Totally agree about pantyhose, tights and high heels. Shirts that don't cover a guy's big hairy belly are another "no" for me.
If you're going to wear form fitting clothes, as a general rule, be a fit, hardbody. That's the only way bicycle pants or tube tops or shorts or bikinis are going to look good. Have mercy upon yourself and others, when in doubt, don't wear it!
Well that's a little... No. I will not. I like my fitted T's, and I don't care if I have a bit of a belly. I don't care if very curvy women wear fitted clothes--I love the curvy-all-over body type, and even if I didn't, it's not up to me what they wear. And if you don't like it, don't look.

Re: What clothing item do you hate with a burning passion?
I sometimes use belts, to help some of my pants stay up. They are practical that way.
Personally I hate jackets with short waists. They look stupid and feel stupid. I prefer coats.
Re: What clothing item do you hate with a burning passion?
I hate those kinds of jackets! They make 90% of the wearers look so disproportionate!
Re: What clothing item do you hate with a burning passion?

Re: What clothing item do you hate with a burning passion?
BAHAHA! Yes, sequins are very scary looking. I promised myself I will never wear sequins or ruffles. ICK ON BOTH COUNTS.
Re: What clothing item do you hate with a burning passion?
I can't stand Ugg boots. They don't look good on anyone!
Not a fan of tube tops either.
Re: What clothing item do you hate with a burning passion?
*high fives you*
Ugg boots are Uggly. Plus all the people who are 'popular' but not popular with me wear them. Tube tops are also not good, especially when they show the bellybutton.

Re: What clothing item do you hate with a burning passion?
Especially stillettos. They are just...so...wrong!
Re: What clothing item do you hate with a burning passion?
What?! Stop bashing my poor high heels :O
But seriously, I *love* having heels on my shoes. I'm a rather short person, so I do what I can so I don't have to ask someone any time I need something from the top shelf at the grocery store...

Re: What clothing item do you hate with a burning passion?
I, too, hate high heels. Not only do they look bad, they damage your calf muscles and the bones in your feet.
Re: What clothing item do you hate with a burning passion?
I have to add my vote for the hatred of high heels. They just hurt so much and it's a kind of cultural thing that should be thrown out with foot-binding: women should suffer terribly to meet some ideal. NO.

Shorts. They are uncomfortable

Re: What clothing item do you hate with a burning passion?
And if people pull them up way too high it's BAD.
Re: What clothing item do you hate with a burning passion?
Flip-flops. They are one of the most impractical styles of footwear ever invented. May as well go barefoot, really.
Re: What clothing item do you hate with a burning passion?
Crocs. If they're comfortable, fine, wear them home, but please don't take those things out in public *shudder*
Re: What clothing item do you hate with a burning passion?
Any kind of clothing thats really tiny. It's like they just painted the clothing on. "Tired of wearing real clothes? Introducing, paint on clothes!"
Re: What clothing item do you hate with a burning passion?
I hate it when girls get these huge shirts that are so loose they have to tie them up. I mean, seriously, you should have bought a smaller shirt. It's understandable when you order them though (like at my school, where a medium is really an extra large xD).
Re: What clothing item do you hate with a burning passion?
Hmmm. . . . let me see. . . . turtlenecks, crocs (seriously? What is the fascination with them? Their UGLY!!!))
Re: What clothing item do you hate with a burning passion?
I love turtle necks! I mean, there is a good chance that the turtle neck someone is wearing looks uber dorky, but there are some that are quite fetching!
Re: What clothing item do you hate with a burning passion?
Why you be hating on my turtlenecks? I love my turtlenecks!

Re: What clothing item do you hate with a burning passion?
THIS. THIS. THIS. What's the point of even wearing underwear at this point? Just go commando and spend your money elsewhere.

Re: What clothing item do you hate with a burning passion?
That new trend for shorts to be so small that the pockets stick out past the hem.
Leggings as pants.
Re: What clothing item do you hate with a burning passion?
THANK YOU. Last time I checked, leggings were to wear under other things. Even skinny jeans aren't tight enough for some people? Come on.
Re: What clothing item do you hate with a burning passion?
I hate leggings anyway. They are very uncomfortable
Re: What clothing item do you hate with a burning passion?
I do not get the point of wearing leggings as pants. I can see the outline of people's underwear when the wear leggings without anything over them. My friend always wears them as pants and it drives me crazy! And she doesn't realize how... ridiculous it is.

*facepalm*
Re: What clothing item do you hate with a burning passion?
Shoulda known you'd beat me to this, Obi!
Tights/leggings as pants annoy me to no end. Anyone who follows me on Twitter has seen me rant on this subject before.
And Uggs! And that trend of wearing scarves with your shirt no matter what... and and and oh dear, I need more time to rant on this one.
Re: What clothing item do you hate with a burning passion?
Nylons! Oh, how I hate them! They're not comfortable and they rip so easily! Argh!
Re: What clothing item do you hate with a burning passion?
Don't tell anyone, but...
Toms.
Re: What clothing item do you hate with a burning passion?
^YUS. They look like nurse shoes.
