There are many I can think of but perhaps my most hated of hated was the "shoulder pad" look back on the 80's. I have big enough shoulders I don't need to look a linebacker!

Should never come back
The post about favorite decade got me thinking about fashions gone by. What fashion or fashion trend should stay dead and buried?

Re: Should never come back
Ah yes the shoulder pads was a bad one.
One other I think should stay dead is balloon pants. Baggy but narrow at the ankle. Uggg.

Re: Should never come back
Both good choices. 
For me it would be that grungy, slutty , trashy look Madonna popularized back in the 80's

Re: Should never come back
I agree with the baggy pants and slutty look. Can we get rid of intentionally ripped jeans while we're at it? Shoulder pads were popular way back in the 30's. As any movie with Lauren Bacall and Bogie will attest. Strong shoulders suggest strength and power for both men and women.

Re: Should never come back
I so agree Eileen. If I had known ripped jeans were going to be so popular I would have saved a lot of my old jeans and sold them for big dollars.Eileen (SO) wrote:.... Can we get rid of intentionally ripped jeans while we're at it?

Re: Should never come back
Lots of good ones here. I am going back a bit further. Not that it was my era but I have seen pictures of my Grandmother back in the 50s with her little white gloves and pill box hat. Please don't ever let that come back!

Re: Should never come back
OMG there are so many! Which one to choose?
I guess maybe the one first and foremost in my mind and this may upset a few here would be the petticoat or crinoline or whatever you want to call it of the 50s.
Wore one a few years back to a 50s party and it was uncomfortable, made it tough to sit, even tougher in the powder room, and took me more than a few tries to get situated in the car.

Bullet bras! I was quite young, (really!) when they were popular. Seemed normal at the time, till some of my husband's friends brought up the retro look. They look awful to wear.

Yea can not imagine they had to be comfortable to wear. Do not see many cone shaped breasts out there.Eileen (SO) wrote:Bullet bras! ....... They look awful to wear.

Amen Eileen! Wore one to a 50s party at the urging of my husband! Couldn't wait to get out of it I think that was maybe the first time I checked a bra for the drive home.Eileen (SO) wrote:Bullet bras! ... They look awful to wear.

Re: Should never come back
A current trend that needs to go away and stay gone is the no hose look. I can appreciate pantyhose is not the most comfortable garment but there are alternatives such as thigh high stockings.
Pretty much every woman over 30 has flaws on her legs hosiery can hide. I have seen some pretty disgusting looking legs recently that a good pair of sheer hose would do a lot for. Don't women look in the mirrorbefore going out or do they just not care?

Uggs.
Gal at work thinks Uggs with shiny stuff on them are business casual wear. I never thought they looked good except for a cold snowy day to keep your feet warm.
