The least flattering fashion, beauty, and grooming trends ever

For women:

Mamie Eisenhower 'dos in the 50s

80s mall hair

For men:

70s leisure suits

80s mullets

The current crew necks on women's tops and dresses.

They look absolutely ghastly on anyone who doesn't have a model's swan neck, and only a tiny percentage of women have a model's swan neck.

The latest drop, fade, or razored mullets are sexy on a sexy young man.

The early-mid aughts were a terrible time for fashion.

If you think the women looks bad enough in ultra low-rise skintight, bootlegs pants, crop tops and skinny crochet scarves, let’s not forget Carson from Queer Eye putting hapless straight dudes in distressed, sequinned jeans.

Mullets aren't unflattering, young straight women are crazy for them and that's why guys are bring them back now. They all have mustaches and mullets because that's exactly what girls on tinder are asking for.

Depends on the mullet. The Billy Ray Cyrus type is incredibly trashy. Glam rock mullets like Bowie's were OK. And the razored mullet, which is worn by every other man here in Argentina, can be sexy as hell.

This shitty, patchy beard fad is awful. The huge beards have always been gross. And when I see a goatee all I can think is two things: 1. the guy can’t grow a full beard and 2. he likes having a mangina on his face.

Now, this mustache fad is wonderful. Loving the return of the mustache.

Manscaping, the worst ill-conceived idea ever. I don't understand the hate for a full bush when most of us were conceived by men with bushes. The girls in high school and college never complained in the 70s. The guys with the biggest bushes seemed to get the most girls in bed. One guy in my fraternity would walk a girl upstairs to his bedroom in the house; he would do this every 45 minutes or so. They all knew all of them were fucking him, and he had the biggest, thickest, most dense bush of all of us. I heard no complaints.

Playgirl models had big bushes. If a Playgirl model had a thick mustache and a big bush, I would wear those pages out.

The 2000s - low-cut jeans, clothing with obvious and tacky branding, slogans, etc. 2000s fashions only worked for women who had a straight, square shape. Lord help you if you had hips or a butt.

The 2010s - Thick and heavy matte foundation, contouring, dark eye makeup and dark lipstick. I don’t know what some women were thinking but many of them looked like Elvira from about 2013 - 2016.

Sadly, some of these trends are making a comeback.

I'll get stoned by Gen Z , but the center-parted, ill-kempt, not cut long hair that so many young women wear now. It looks awful on almost everyone; you have to have exquisite bone structure for it to look good, and even then, you'd look better with better hair. Also the mushroom perm cut that Mahomes made popular for young men. It's awful.

The "ankle pants" trend for women, the damn floods that make every woman who isn't a model look stumpy and ill-groomed.

Fortunately, those seem to be on the way out, replaced by wide-leg trousers that are at least the length of real pants. Thos aren't great either, but they beat every woman walking around looking like she's bought pants from the children's section by mistake.

r79, you're so right- I did a short based on Jack Kerouac during the 50's with Billy Zane (it never got released), and one BG girl was complaining how old she looked with makeup/hair/wardrobe. I showed her a photo of a woman and asked her how old she thought she was- she answered, "45". I told her that she was in her early 20's. She shut up after that.
