I don't think all these people ever woke up pining to expose that portion of skin---just a clothing manufacturer did it---some people jumped on it because of the novelty so more manufacturers started to do it and more people buy it...
The shoulder is an area most of us can respectably expose. It normally is not fatty or untoned. I think that is the reason women like the style. You do see cold shoulder styles in clothing meant for older women.

That makes sense but it still looks dumb to me

I don't care for the look either. First time I saw it on someone almost started laughing. Looks like the manufacturer ran out of fabric.

But if we want good coffee, those types are the best, bonus with tattoo sleeves.

Brown lipstick on lighter skin-toned women...especially pale faces

(looks great on darker skin-toned women)

Dresses and tops that are asymmetrical from side to side (one side higher than the other)...ridiculous. Slightly lower in the back compared to front is ok.

Over tweezed eyebrows! Especially when they are tweezed too far apart over the bridge of the nose.

I like that look. In fact I'm thinking of buying one of those leather jackets with a diagonal zipper and other diagonal elements. It gives a bit of a rebel look.

I should have clarified that I was referring to asymmetrical hems. Diagonal zippers are fine and in fact I have one myself.

I kind of like asymmetrical hems. I don't wear them all the time, but I think they're more flattering than a straight hem that draws a line right across my hips.

What I hate are the tops that are significantly longer in the back than the front. But I'm short, and they just make me look stumpy, so it's just a matter of them not working for me.
