Hipsters are those dudes that are coooool. You know the ones. They were cool waaaaay before everyone else was. They discovered all the trends before everyone else and then abandon them to move on to something else because they hate being mainstream.

My favourite one being:
Definitions are too mainstream.
Hipster's can't be defined because then they'd fit in a category, and thus be too mainstream.

Hang around Shoreditch or Dalston in London or the Northern Quarter in Manchester and you'll see loads! This is an American but accurate version. Disclaimer: I drank PBR cos it was $5 for an ice cold pitcher in this dive bar I used to drink in.

So there can't be hipster fashion, coz anyone dressing
In hipster fashion is by definition not a hipster?!

Oh yes, ponchos in the mid-2000s. Disturbingly, not that different to the crocheted monstrosities inflicted on me by well-meaning relatives in the early 80s.

Trainers. The idea that trainers are a stylish item of footwear rather than just sports shoes must be one of fashion's major deceptions.

Coloured shirts with white collars - always feels like it's heading into dickie-bow-on-a-Chippendale territory to me.

[Chester666666]

I like hipsters and stuff
bermudas must be a terrible fashion trend

I'm too young to remember the 80s ones but my biggest gripe with the mid 00s ones were that there was literally no choice - you pretty much HAD to buy them as it was though jumpers had been blacklisted in favour of promoting the poncho. Truly awful.

I'm not sure the 80s ones I had were even a fashion, thinking about it. It was just that my auntie liked crocheting the bloody things.

Where are those people now I wonder because you never see anybody in Crocs now.

I wear Crocs for work, as do most of my colleagues, they are like cushions on your feet when you are walking around all day!

I hate the fashion of the birds nest hair the girls are sporting these days, it looks awful. My son says if you get sat behind a birds nest in class, you have no chance of seeing the board...

Unfortunately they're spreading out through Hackney like a plague now. Used to be fairly attitude free around here, now it's turning into a bloody middle class, posing nightmare.

Lately I've noticed a lot of young teenage lassies wearing a long top with shorts or a skirt, then (often black) socks pulled up to their knees and a tiny pair of shoes. The worst shoes being those cloth slipper things you can get in a whole range of different colours. They're hideous.

I had many aunts while growing up and thankfully I never had to suffer through even one crocheted/knitted/sewn gift. They just gave me money to buy what I wanted instead. I feel like that's quite unusual!

[Dolly_Dimple]

Shell suits and bubble cut perms.
Those McHammer hareem pant things.
Ugg boots, they make legs look like 9 irons.
Leggins on a fat woman, worn with a top that barely covers her arse.

[scorpygal1]

The current trend amongst some women to completely shave off their eyebrows and then to pencil them back on, usually ending up looking like this .... ^....^ and usually accompanied by loads of badly applied slap,

Nice one!

[warszawa]

People who wear trainers but don't tie the laces, they just tuck them in at the sides. What's the point in that?

[Chris65757]

Businessmen or (usually) Tory MPs who wear a spotted tie with a striped shirt and then a pin-striped jacket - and so look like the fashion version of a migraine.

Bubble skirts from the 80s. I think I only ever saw one once, but liked it, mainly because I liked the girl wearing it.

[pink star 28]

Scallys that pull their socks over their jeans or tracksuit bottoms. its even worse when girls do it.

[Georgie00]

Mustard leggings. They should be burned

[warszawa]

Visible thongs. All well and good on svelt stunners in Barcelona but not fat lasses in Halifax

It originated in the North West, but it's passed on a bit here, and has caught on in other places. Not nice.

Same here, though 'Croc trip' is a bugger when you're tired.

I also hate Uggs. Especially fake ones. People can't walk properly in them. They just shuffle. Pick your feet up!!

Yes! I saw a girl crossing the road in a pair of these the other day and because of the amount of false tan she had on from a distance she looked like she was completely naked from the waist down.

Leggings in general actually come to think of it aren't the most attractive things. In Newcastle we seem to have a trend for big girls dressing as if they are a size 8. I'm all for live and let live but when your cellulite is visible THROUGH YOUR CLOTHING it probably wasn't a good choice!
