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

ever again.
I do the same! I am 6' tall. I bought this cool dress a few years ago. A-line, geometric print with olive, grey, teal, black shapes. I was in my late fifties at the time, 60 now, but I love that dress and it's flattering. It's just a few inches above my knee. My legs are not in bad shape, but they are 60-year-old legs with all the colorful little veins and marks against pale white skin that you can expect. Black leggings makes it wearable.

I've seen some people who have a chain joining the back of their glasses so they can drop them down and the chain makes them sort of like a necklace, easy to put back when needed, difficult to lose.

Doesn't sound entirely crazy to me. I just haven't seen what Daniel described.

I'm fine with my legs, overall, but I don't need to be flashing any butt, or having hems ride high when I sit down.

Do you mean the work boot look like Doc Martens, or the moon boot look e.g. my Ugg apres ski boots? Or just those cloggy looking platform shoes? (IMO they're very unappealing.) Or what?

Yeah, I get it. It's the clunky platform heels I mentioned. They just make no sense to this man. I think there are a lot of more fashionable and less dominatrix-looking styles than that.

Oh, I forgot...

...the "baked" face makeup trend. Fine if you are part of the drag community, fine if you are in theatre and need that finish under stage lights. Otherwise, you look like a ridiculous early-era Kim Kardashian wannabe. Let the skin breathe!!!

Wedge (or any other) Heeled sneakers, wtf.

I have an hourglass figure with a short torso, so no high waisted pants don't do it for me.

and yeah, as was mentioned, let's not forget ankle length or cropped pants.

I do like ripped jeans though. have a few pairs of those.

It has probably been mentioned before since this thread started in 2015 and 327 posts before this one.......but I hate tattoos that cover the entire arms, chest, neck and most of the leg. I know it's fashionable, has been for a couple of decades and will stay that way for many more but I still don't like them. Ditto for the piercings of lips, eyebrows, noses, etc. and ears that enlarge the earlobes No, I don't mind pierced ears for earrings as such piercings are a way of keeping earrings on your ears and earrings are jewelry. Such piercings are functional not piercings for the sake of piercing.



I know. Disliking body tattoos and piercings is a lonely stance to take.

Check online - my son has those nice ones like Daniel Craig wore in one of the 007 movies and he got them online. Most stores just carry those ridiculous board shorts. Who wants to go swimming with all that fabric? Plus the tan lines have got to look horrible.
