High waisted pants. They only look good on models, other than that they accentuate a gut, and even make a gut on people that don't usually have one.
Seconding!
I'm tallish but super short-waisted so in high waisted pants I look like that old man down the street who wears his pants right below his armpits (every neighborhood has one ). I'm having to search for low- or even medium-rise pants since the pendulum seems to have swung back to high-waisted styles. Between high waists and and being "pre-distressed," it's nearly impossible to find a flattering pair of jeans that don't look like they've been attacked with a chainsaw.
I couldn't find any mention of cropped pants. I hate cropped pants (basically, any length that lands between the knee and the ankle). They save the manufacturer a buck or two in the cost of the material and they make EVERY woman's rear end look fat. I'm 5'7" and 123 lbs. and I won't buy them.

I mentioned them (post #51). They are always ugly on anyone who wears them.
Higher waisted jeans look great if you have an hourglass figure, and low-rise are unflattering on this figure type. I wouldn’t wear any pair you’d call “mom†jeans though.
I would like to nominate the "Blond hair with obvious dark roots". I don't get it, started showing many years ago on celebrities who could obviously afford to get touch ups whenever they needed. Is it an "I don't care" thing like ripped jeans?
I'm not sure I can explain this in a way that folks who've never seen it will understand, but here goes:
For the past several years I have seen people (mostly women in the 40-55 range) walking around with their sunglasses perched on their chins. Sometimes they're a bit lower, sort of slung around their necks, but it just looks ridiculous either way, like someone recently slapped them and their sunglasses are "askew". It's not like they can't just fold them up and put them in a pocket or purse like a normal person. Do they think it looks "cool"? I can't imagine anyone thinking this, since it just looks like they don't know how to dress themselves. It's nearly impossible for me to deal with someone face-to-face doing this--it's so dumb-looking that I just want to finish the job by slapping the sunglasses totally off their face. I always thought putting your sunglasses on top of your head looked kind of dorky, but this new trend wipes that old one off the map entirely.
Tried to find a picture online to illustrate, but came up with nothing. Maybe it's just a local trend?
Tunics forever, says 5'10" me. I even wear many dresses as tunics, because most of them show too much thigh on me.
I would be fine never seeing...
...booties/ankle boots
...block brows
...acrylic nails
...high-waisted pants
...booty shorts
...brand logos, esp. on handbags
...designer handbags that have big gaudy metallic insignia zipper pulls
The place where I grew up was poor and it was very common to see classmates come to school with worn areas and holes in them since they couldn't afford to buy clothing that often. Jeans had often been handed down through several kids and looked pretty rough after the 2nd or 3rd hand-me-down. That's what this reminds me of.
Pre-distressed jeans do look remarkably like they can't afford better. I don't get it.

For men or women! Please, I don't wanna see underwear. And PJs in public? I've never seen that.

I think the material savings would be insignificant.

I've wondered that too. My theory is that it's intentional, but why?

Maybe?
I can't even picture this.
