Do any 'image choices' from people immediately annoy you?

Everyone looks better with a beard. Thereare even knitted beards available so people who can't grow them don't get mocked as much.

For the record, I look a twat with a beard, hence I don't have one.
I'm also half-way bald, so if I did grow one, young children might think my head is on upside down.

Not so long ago a beard meant you were probably homeless.

Trends, innit.  Follow one and you're a hair‘s breadth from New romantic full eye shadow, or the meaningless Asian tat, or any one of the countless silly fashions to worm their way into popular culture.  Should clothes be baggy or tight?  Make up your minds people!!

The whole fucking massive beard thing is getting a bit tiresome now - you see some football club team photos and it could easily be Preston North End in 1898, posing with the first league trophy or whatever...

Men without beards. Could they be children, butch ladies, or are they just men who can't grow beards? I'm usually too immediately annoyed to find out

Only a few groups of men should have beards
1. Salty old sea dog sailors
2. Father Christmas and his impersonators 
3. Gandalf/wizards 

The rest are just people pretending they look cool, hip and trendy when they don't, they just look shifty. Never seen a "cool" beard while I've been on this planet. 

Gary Glitter had a beard, case closed your honour.

And without the beard he's just another pasty white guy with no conversation starting facial features.

Racist.

The beard and man-bun / side shade / pomp trend is dying out slowly.

I just hate shaving. If I wanted to look clean shaven I'd have to get up earlier every morning to shave and life is too short. At least I've been coincidentally semi fashionable the past few years.

I get worried of someone says i look nice. It means i've accidentally given a fuck what i look like at some point.

I vowed a long time ago that i would shave and dress up when i want and none of the rest of the time.
Double denim, maybe some leather and cotton t shirts. That's it, like it or look at someone else.

I shave using trimmers with no guard on, so it takes it all off down to just below a number 1. Lasts around 5 days before i have to do it again. Shave what's left of my hair the same way every 2 weeks.

After doing nothing since last October and doctors orders to not do anything at all and not walk much, i'm starting to look like more and more like my avatar anyway so there's not much point in trying to look smart.
I've decided to embrace it, buy a black denim cut-off with an Iron Maiden Patch on the back and some new (Secondhand) jeans and boots.

I also seem to have some kind of Tartan Fetish at the moment. That might end up looking cool or stupid, not sure yet.

I can't think of an image that annoys me but i did see a lad with odd trainers on the other day which made me smile.
I'm not too keen on the 'Laura Ashley' women who seem to all wear a uniform of white and khaki with brown leather belts and bags.

Ahh ! Yes i can think of one......
Hi Viz vests not taken off after serving their clearly very useful purpose.
Worn for the day no matter where they go and looking like a twat every second of it.
On site or outside of the truck, yeah fine we all have to wear them for very good safety reasons (I love seeing the girls wear pink hi viz on site) but off site or in the cab while driving? Really? 

LAZY BASTARDS !!!

That winds the fuck up out of me.

Thanks i feel much better now.

Skinny jeans look stupid, skinny guys especially shouldn't wear them. All it does is draw attention to how pathetic their legs are.

The chav hair cut. Very common up here



Tracksuit bottoms

Baseball caps with a flat brim worn over the ears

Denim and leather jackets

Old guys with long hair

Guys with ponytails

Men with big earrings

Wearing those stupid baggy beanies on the back of the head

Girls in brimmed hats, also normally on the back of the head

Fat blokes in shirts tucked into jeans

Football shirts

Long coats

White trainers

Jeans and black leather shoes

Button down collars

Wearing proper headphones out of the house

Men with necklaces

Girls in big glasses

High top trainers

Chunky knitwear

V-neck jumpers over a shirt and tie

Fleeces

Mountaineering clothes worn in city centres

Anything with a large logo

Shirts with short sleeves rolled up at the end

I'll stop or I'll go on all night!

That's a cool haircut actually.

Personally I think there is something really sad about those guys that get tattoos everywhere and hit the gym everyday, just because girls like it. Or those people going out of their way to achieve the bad boy look with loads of tattoos, when they dont have the personality to match. Great if you're a biker or something but not if the rest of your wardrobe is from Next and you still live with your mum.

I think they're known as 'spornosexuals'. Apparently young men don't have the earnings potential we did, so they work on their physiques instead. It's all about attracting mates in the end, can't blame them really.

Personally I hate those earring type things where they make their earlobes bigger and bigger. No idea what it's called. That just seems gross and daft to me, but I'm savvy enough to know I'm too old for my opinion to mean anything on such matters.

@holnrew solid list!

Since I hate most things I decided it would be easier to describe what is acceptable:

Snap

baseball caps
Shirts hanging out
bootcut jeans
garish labels
the whole Ted Baker thing, shop, everything from there -  total crap IMO
cowboy hats - are you a cowboy?
popped collars - stop it.

Jalapeno

Male top knots - as the meme says if you aren't Toshiro Mifune, don't have one !

Trousers below arse just looks ridiculous, doesn't wind me up though.
