The Official Faux-Pas Thread
It's about time we got a fashion forum here.
I'll start. You should never wear track pants outside of your residence, or the gym. This goes double for those sweat pants with words stitched on the arse like U of T, and TRIPLE for those that say "Cutie", "Sweet Cheeks" or "Honey".
Let the rants begin!

Jeans at the gym? Kidding right? That's not a faux pas, that's just stupid. Kind of like inline skaters who wear jeans. Ugh, I can't imagine a worse fabric to get sweaty in. I don't care if you just got off work, bring a change of clothes!

Yeah well the gym I go to is part of a public swimming pool, so its not one of those private membership gyms. Because of this a lot of times people go there just to dick around, taking up space on the benches, and using the freeweights by laying them on the ground beside the bench they're sitting at while they're talking to their friends about contemplating buying a body-kit for their new ricer civic their parents bought them.
Now that was a rant.

I like striped shirts. They are better than plain shirts if you're not wearing a tie. adding a bit of detail to something goes a long way than ultra plain.
also they can be worn casually or to work. very versatile.

What wrong with jeans and inline skating? it makes perfect sense as denim provides atleast some protection against road rash.

Ugg boots, chunky black shoes (pilgrim shoes), boxy womens' suits, and females who wear too many of the seasons trends together.
Any designer bag that has been faked has now been cheapened.. .even if its authentic.
Hmmm I can't think of any faux pas for guys. Must be because you guys are so endearing!... even when you wear your socks with your sandals.

Ok, I have quite a few...
Guys who wear track pants with one leg pulled up..looks real "gangsta tough"..no actually it looks really ghetto!
Also, guys who wear jeams with one pant leg cuffed up, timberland or those yellow construction boots and the laces totally undone...looks so stupid!
Fake designer bags- most look too overplayed thesedays.
Women's shoes that have crazy platforms, I remember people used to wear those when I was in high school.
It just looks retaded on women/girls who are 25 and up...
Lol, "cougars" or older women who go trolling the bars wearing leapard prints.
I saw that alot last summer and it was really funny.
Also girls/women who go out in groups and try to pretend like they are the people from Sex and the City...just so annoying!
Also guys who wear too tight turtleneck sweaters looks really funny!
What is really funny also is those 14 year old guys who overgel their hair and totally wear too much Calvin Klein perfume and try to pick up girls on th e bus..just too funny!
