People Explain Which Items Of Clothing Are A Total Turn Off

I used to enjoy thrifting until I realized that the store I used to go to never had anything that I liked. The store became a dumping ground for crappy T-shirts with dumb slogans on them, which I am not a fan of, ever. Needless to say, I stopped shopping there.

How could I continue, when nothing there spoke to me? Sigh. Still on the hunt for a good shop, by the way. But I'm not the only one with particular tastes.

People shared their thoughts with us after Redditor RobotDave asked the online community,

"What is an item of clothing that for you is an instant turn off?"

"I hate..."

"I hate the ones that say 'alpha wolf' or 'trust no one' or 'don’t mistake my kindness for weakness.' Like shut up."

I’m sure someone who would wear the latter shirt is nothing but the epitome of kindness and not a tool looking to compliment and flatter their massive, unearned ego.

"Those dumb wine shirts..."

"Those dumb wine shirts for women. Like 'Rosè all day' or 'toes in the sand, rosè in my hand.'"

Why are these so normalized? It's odd, isn't it?

"The wifey/hubby clothing. Sometimes, just sometimes, it can be cute in a tongue-in-cheek manner, but most times it’s very, very cringe."

Facebook (and dumb people) have forever ruined these for me. I've seen so many that are just inappropriate.

"Platform..."

"Platform high heels when your feet are slightly too big and your toes hang over the front like they’re hanging on to the edge of a cliff."

Iilbsure

I want to piggy back on this and say high heels but when they let the pinky toe hang outside of the strap. Like it wasn’t invited to the party but it’s tagging along anyway.

"Message T-shirts..."

"Message t-shirts that brag about how tough or nasty you are."

I will not be spoken to in that tone by an article of clothing!

"Very specifically..."

"Very specifically my fiancés grey and orange plaid shorts."

confused_barista

Hey, I love your fiance's gray and orange plaid shorts. What are you going to do about that?!

"A white shirt..."

"A white shirt with food stains on it."

[deleted]

Let's face it – if you can confidently wear white, then you're pretty brave.

"Skin tone pants (specifically leggings)."

thunderbone

I was once at the the gym and ended up just staring at a woman on a treadmill who was wearing nude colored leggings and a long T shirt - legitimately spent 5 minutes trying to figure out why she wasn’t wearing pants and why no one was stopping her.

"Anything..."

"Anything loudly displaying a designer brand."

Great, huh?

"Dumb shirts..."

"Dumb shirts like 'female body inspector' and dumb sarcasm shirts."

[deleted]

Yeah, those don't work for me either. They just look cheap.

Hey, we all have our own fashion sense. Whatever doesn't work for you might be a gold mine for someone else. Let them wear what they want... and steer away from what you know you'd never wear, which should be easy enough.
