Women's trends that make men cringe!

So, it's the latest trend! But, before you embrace these trends and fill your closet full of them, you may want to read on to see which are major turnoffs to men. Now, don't get me wrong, I am not saying that you shouldn't wear these items simply because most men don't like them. After all, we should be dressing to please ourselves first and foremost, but it's worth noting that the general consensus among men is they are a turn off. I have to say, for the most part, I agree with the men!


1. Uggs - These boots and those similar in style, topped the list as the most hated trend. Nothing flattering about them! They may keep your feet warm on cold winter days, but there are more attractive ways to keep your feet warm. Might I add that Uggs are even a warm weather trend, which only adds to the absurdity of this look!




2. Harem Pants - Now this can't be a surprise to anyone! I have seen this trend the world over and they just look plain dumpy! I have run across a style or two that look good, but the mainstream looking diaper style is just plain bad.






3. Jumpsuits - This reinvented look comes in a shorts and pant version. The shorts version seems to rate a little higher, but this look is extremely hard to pull off.





4. Leggings - I think the problem with this trend is that women think that regardless of what shape or size they are, that they can wear them. However, the stretchy material and form fitting nature of leggings are very unforgiving. I happen to love leggings! They are comfortable and work well with a long top or short dress. But I suggest you stay away from the new latex legging trend and stick with the more traditional ones.




5. Babydoll Dresses - This one surprises me! The thing men don't like about this trend is that it hides a woman's shape.






6. Animal Print - I wholeheartedly agree with this! I find animal print clothes to be tack y and cheap, but in a shoe, purse or accessory, it can be tasteful.




7. Clogs - Because of the chunky and unfeminine nature of these, they made the list. Opt for a shoe that isn't so heavy.




8. Highwaisted Pants - These are akin to "mom jeans" They are not flattering and tend to age a person and add bulk.





9. Neon - The 80s trend is back. However it tends to looks childish and clownish.



10. Gladiator Sandals - It seems that this disliked trend applies to the taller gladiator styles. Because of the busy nature of these sandals, they tend to cut and breakup the overall line of your body, adding the appearance of extra weight.





So, what do men like?

The fashion trend men liked the most was the maxi-dress.
Other fashion trends preferred by men were skinny jeans, A-line skirts and one shoulder dresses.
