I had to laugh at some of the comments...people are obviously very different!
Things I don't wear (at least outside my home)
1. skinny jeans
2. sleeveless tops
3. full skirts
4. pants with front pleats
5. high or really low waisted pants. slightly below waist is for me.
6. Most boxy jackets although I've had a few I liked.
7. polyester pants
8. thongs, tiny bikinis or high-waisted underwear. see #5
9. baby doll type lingerie -gave up on these long ago!
10. slip-on type shoes as I can't keep them on.
my pet hate is trousers that finish at the ankle, or just above
Especially on short people who are wearing 3/4 pants and pretending they're full length pants, but they're just not long enough - baaaaaaaddd.
Personally i wouldn't wear really high heels cos it's just too uncomfortable.
And i'll put long tight skirts into that catagory too - if it's too hard to walk in, forget it.
Found this article online. Although it is about what women like to wear but men find hideous, I think a lot of people, both sexes, dislike a lot of the clothes.
It would be nice if they'd also do one on men's fashions that women hate. I'd have a thing or two to say about saggy pants belted at the thighs, with King Kong's own t-shirt worn over them.
I'm open to a lot, but I have a few NO WAY kinds of clothing:
Anything that is Ed Hardy or resembles that style.
A few particular name brands. Basically because everyone around here ends up looking exactly the same when the nearest Hollister gets a new shipment of t-shirts.
Super short shorts.
Tube tops.
I can honestly say that I don't know my style well enough yet. At my highest weight I wore whatever fit. Since I'm losing I haven't bought many new things, so my style hasn't developed any, at all. When I get to goal I'll have to rediscover myself completely! I can't decide if I'm boho-chic or rebel-prep or maybe cowgirl-glam. LOL

Aha. After considerable googling, I finally found an article that addresses men's fashions. I apologize for the one f-word that will appear at the top of the linked blog. It's part of the title of the previous entry. I can't help it.
Maxi dress. I hate it when people wear these and they think they can get away with not wearing a bra. Seriously, people.
I wouldn't be caught dead in public WITHOUT a bra. Does that count? BRAS ARE GOOD. WEAR THEM. Also, saggy bras, why do people wear them. This includes tanks with "shelf bras". I would NEVER wear one of these out of the house because, come on, that is NOT a bra. Have some friggen self respect.
I hate jeans that have "whiskers". Like, those pre-dyed wrinkle marks across the thighs at the crotch? Why. Seriously. Especially in a plus size store. Do they NOT know that this makes you look fatter?
Khakis. I don't know. I just think khakis are the natural mortal enemy of plus sized people.
Pants with flappy pockets on the butt/thighs (cargos). FLAPPY POCKETS NEVER LIE FLAT AND MAKE YOU LOOK WIDER/BIGGER/WHATEVER. It is just not pretty. Stop it.
Jeans that are light colored. Again, I don't know why plus sized stores sell these. They really need to stop encouraging people to wear things that they don't need to be wearing. On What Not to Wear, they even put skinny people in pretty much EXCLUSIVELY dark jeans.
ALSO. People who wear dark colored undies with light colored pants. I DONT WANT TO SEE YOUR ORANGE UNDIES THROUGH YOUR WHITE PANTS. I ALSO DONT WANT TO SEE YOUR THONG ABOVE YOUR PANTS. fjieoawjfew.
Speaking of thongs. No. I refuse. They are awful. Why do they exist.
I also hate panty hose and believe them to be an ancient torture device.
Why do girls think its okay to show your bra straps if they are CLEAR. THAT DOESNT MAKE IT BETTER.
Sorry, this thread gives me a chance to rant about my pet peeves, haha. I just visited Universal Studios and was disgusted with what people were wearing in public.
lets see- no whale tale. no uggs or crocs. nothing that is bejeweled or bedazzled. nothing with kittens, cartoons, horses, etc on it. denim anywhere other then on jeans. any type of shirt or dress that might pose the question "when are you due?"
and my standard fat fare when i was a kid- large oversized shirt with leggings or stirrup pants.
if they ever come back - bodysuits! horrible contraptions, i don't have time to find snaps in my crotch when i have to go to the bathroom and i don't really want a permanent wedgie.
since i'm short- i have to be really careful with capri's if they're too long they just look like i can't buy regular pants. same with 3/4 sleeves- they look more like 4/5th sleeves on me. bad!
and one last thing- the thing that i will never ever ever wear again once i have lost enough weight- a bra that came out of a box!!!! eff you "just my size"!

ROFL... Thank you!!! I see this way too often. I don't care if you DO have tiny perky lady bits, put them in a bra!
I agree with not ever wearing Crocs. Those may be comfy but please leave bright slip on shoes to kids under the age of 5.
Harem pants. Yuck. Last time I checked MC Hammer isn't popular anymore and they don't flatter any shape.
Clear light up heels. If you aren't Cinderella or a stripper then please don't wear them.
Shape Ups or Fit Flops. Yes, I said it! I'm not a fan. They look like prescribed orthopedic shoes but for the sporty ladies.
Ankle warmers and flip flops. Really? How does that make sense?
Scarfs in hot weather. I'm all for a cute scarf with some jeans and a jacket. But when you're rocking it with shorts and a tank I get confused. What's next, wearing it with a bathing suit?
Ed Hardy. As someone mentioned before, it's Jersey Shore tacky.
As more Mens fashion:
Skinny Jeans. No one needs to see your package.
White Sunglasses. Only girls can get away with bright colors.
Anything that is 2 sizes too large.
Ankle warmers with flip flops make just about as much sense as socks with sandals, I suppose. Which is, none.
Daughter disagrees. She says socks with sandals are to keep the sandals from being stained with sweat from your feet. And she lol'ed at the clear bra straps. Myself, I lol'ed at the crotch snaps when you have to go to the bathroom. Exactly why I've taken to wearing a tankini instead of a one-piece swimsuit.
I've not seen anyone say anything about jumpers. There used to be a rule, never wear them unless you're under 12 or pregnant. Opinions?

So here's my list (I think most of you have covered a lot of it):
- velvet track suits
- clear heels
- gladiator sandals
- harem pants
- muu muus
- maxi dresses
- elastic "mom" jeans that taper at the leg! UGH! WHY?!?!
- bright pants, especially green and blue (not jeans)
- clothing with FRINGE
- elastic-y material tube tops
- huge scarfs in hot weather (You look like an idiot.)
- loafers
Some No-nos that I WOULD wear:
- sometimes I DO show my bra (if I'm wearing a black off-the-shoulder top, i like having a black strap there)
- thongs: LOVE THEM (but not those string ones)
- leggings: IF I ever got skinny enough, I would wear them but it would NEVER be my go-to outfit
- rompers: *see reason above*
- skinny jeans: Yeah, I'd rock that, again if I was skinny enough
Thank you.
