Emma Chamberlain
A few weeks ago, I discussed with you all how sometimes I can be a little bit of a hater. And luckily, this isn't that big of a deal because 99.9% of the time I'm hating within the privacy of my own mind. It's not hurting anyone, right? Wrong. It is hurting myself. Because in the moment, being a hater feels so good, it's satisfying, it's addicting, it's exciting, it's exhilarating, it feels so good. But long term, it's. It has negative consequences. Okay? It negatively impacts my self esteem, it negatively impacts the way I see the world. Long term, it's bad news, right? And I know being a hater is wrong, but it's something that I'm prone to doing. For whatever reason, I've always liked it. I've always liked, I don't know, like, just picking on things. I've also always loved picking on myself. But that's a topic for another day. It's like ingrained in me for whatever reason, but I know it's wrong. And so whenever I find myself in sort of a pattern of hating, I catch myself and I say, okay, we gotta stop this. We gotta stop this in its tracks. Even though, you know we can't stop it permanently, right? Like, this is something I'm prone to. It'll probably come back at some point. The best that I can do is stop it for now. And so a few weeks ago, I had found myself in a pattern of hating. I had become a hater again. And I made the decision to work on it and to stop being a hater. And I'm happy to report to you all that the last few weeks have been miraculous and I have eradicated all of the hatred in my body and I'm virtually a saint now. I have been so loving and kind and nonjudgmental in my mind. It's like I. I truly feel like borderline religious about it. Like, I've really worked on this and I've come a long way to celebrate. Today I am going to hate on things. Yeah, it's been too long. I have been a little bit too nice for a little bit too long. And it's not like I'm hating on people. Today I'm hating on fashion. Like, who fucking care? No one's getting hurt. This is harmless. Today I'm going to be sharing with you my fashion pet peeves. And to me, this is fair game. Listen, I am going to be a hater in this episode, but it's like sometimes it's nice to allow yourself to indulge every once in a while. And I've been so good the last few weeks. I haven't been a hater at all. I need to be a hater. I need to get it out in a safe environment with you all about something inconsequential so that I can continue on my journey to being a lover and not a hater. Anyway, without further ado, today I'm gonna be sharing with you my fashion pet peeves. And I am going to be tearing into them and hating on them in a way that will honestly probably change your opinion on me. Because when I go on a rant about something that I don't like, especially fashion, for some reason, I really get passionate. And I don't know, to some it may be disturbing. But you should brace yourself because I'm not going to hold back. I'm going to be mean, I'm going to be honest, and I'm going to be hateful about these fashion pet peeves because this is just what I'm being called to do. So listen, if you've worn these things before, if you like these things, let my criticism of them further solidify your love for them. Because if you love them still after I absolutely shit on them, then that means that what I just shit on is truly your style, is truly your taste, and that's a beautiful thing. So, like, don't look at me as the enemy, okay? Don't take this stuff as an insult. This is just my opinion, okay? I invite you to be brave and to not get your feelings hurt and to remember that this is just my opinion. I briefly paused this episode to let you know that.

Denims that don't match in the same outfit. Okay. If you're wearing jeans and a jean jacket and those denims are not exactly the Same. I am so sorry. Those are not two pieces that should ever be worn together. Take it off. Take it off. Okay. It's one of those subtle differences that it isn't always noticeable, right? Like, if it's dim in the room, you can't even see it, you know? But to me, it just. It like, grates on my nerves. Like, when I see an outfit with two different denims in there, like, maybe a little bit similar, but they're like, I cannot handle it. It's. To me, it's like nails on a chalkboard. I don't know why. It just really bothers me. I mean, I'm somebody who, honestly, at this point in my life, doesn't buy a lot of denim outside of jeans for this reason, because I know that unless I'm buying, like, a full set where I. I know for a fact the denims match, I'm not going to be able to style multiple denim pieces together because it's going to drive me crazy. It's going to drive me crazy. It's something that I cannot handle. I will say if someone's wearing, like, raw, super dark, dark denim jeans and, like, maybe a super light denim, like, jacket, maybe that could work because they're so different that. I don't know, it's not clashing because it's so different that it's actually fine and balanced. But even that I'm not fully sold on. I just don't think mixing denim washes is. Is okay. I just don't. And it's funny because I was at a clothing store recently, and I was just walking around. I wasn't looking for anything in particular, but I, like, I said something about, oh, oh. I, like, I tried on a jacket, right? And it was, like, actually sort of a denim jacket. Not like a classic denim jacket, but, like, a very unique sort of denim jacket. And I absolutely loved it. Okay. I loved this jacket. And I was talking to the person that I was shopping with, I was like. Like, I absolutely love this jacket. You know, the denim is so beautiful. The buttons on it are so beautiful. Like, the shape of it is so beautiful. The fit is beautiful. Like, everything about it is so beautiful. But I'm. I don't think I can justify buying it because I'm afraid that I won't wear it enough because it's denim and it won't match with any other denim. Like, I won't be able to handle it. And one of the women working there overheard me and was like, denim's a neutral. You can mix and match. As much as you want. And I was like, in my head, I was. Well, actually to her, I was like, you know what? You're so right. But in my head I was like, she's so wrong. I couldn't disagree more. I can't handle mixing and matching denims. They all need to either be the exact same shade or so different that, you know, it's complete contrast. That leads me to my next pet peeve, which is when I'm putting together an all black outfit and the shades of black don't match. Like, my jeans are super dark, dark, dark black. Right. But then my top is a bit lighter, maybe even a bit, like, warm toned, and so they almost clash. And then I'm wearing like a black cardigan over that. And that is like a medium black that's like a bit cool toned. And so there's like nine different blacks happening, and it's just a catastrophe and it looks off. Or this could also happen with, like, gray. Like, let's say you want to wear, like, gray sweatpants and a gray sweatshirt. But the gray sweatpants and the gray sweatshirt aren't from the same place. Like, you didn't buy them from the same store or from the same brand. And so the grays are different. Like, one is like a super light heather gray, and then the other one is like a medium dark, even more heathered gray. And they're almost similar and they almost match, but not quite. I absolutely hate that. Like, I really do wish that there was, like, a mandatory pantone that every brand had to stick to when it came to certain neutral colors. Like, you know, if you want to do a light gray, it has to be this exact one so that everything light gray from every single store ever matches. Same thing with, like, black, you know, like, every single brand has to use the same. But see, the thing that's hard about that is, like, there's sometimes like a vintage wash on something that's black, and so it's a bit lighter. Oh, my God, it's a nightmare. Like, I have these incredible gray sweatpants that I love to wear. And I have this incredible gray, like, zip up sort of puffer, soft, cozy, like, pajama coat. Who knew that that existed? But it's like a soft. Like, I would never wear it out. It's like something I wear around the house. Cause it's so soft and, like, cozy. And it's like pajamas for me, anyway, it's a coat. And even when I'm at home alone, I'm bothered when I wear those two things. Together because they are slightly different grays and it just absolutely drives me nuts.

Okay, moving on to cat eye glasses. I'm so sorry. These shouldn't exist. They don't look good on anyone. I've never in my life seen cat eyeglasses look good on anyone. The only maybe exception is like a super retro, like pair of like cute little red cat eye reading glasses on like a super cool old lady or something like that actually sounds sick. And I have seen that. But I'm going to go ahead and say 99.9% of the time cat eye glasses are hideous. Any pair of glasses that just points up at the end, it looks bad. It looks bad. And I know what you're thinking, Emma. No one really wears those anymore. Not true. Okay. This is a silhouette of glass that I see almost every season when I'm stalking what's on the Runway. You know, every time I'm in a sunglass store, I see a cat eye frame like, like they're definitely not super popular. They're definitely not a trend, but they still exist and I absolutely hate them. They are ugly and they aren't ever, like, cool. I've worn cat eye sort of sunglasses before. I remember one time where I was going to a fashion show and the brand was like, hey, we'd love if you wore these sunglasses. And they were a little bit cat eye. And I was like, ugh, I don't like cat eye. But it was kind of the only sunglass option that they had and they really wanted me to wear them. And I was like, you know what? I'll, you know, be a good partner with this brand and wear these glasses that they want to showcase. And I remember feeling so not cool in them. I just felt not cool. I felt cringe. I don't know, I just, I felt like, I guess they're just, they're really not me and they're really not my style. But see, I look at them on everyone. Anytime I see them on anyone, I'm like, this person would look better if they were wearing any other shape of glass. Any other shape of glass, like any other frame would suit them better. It's like how some people feel like everyone looks better without bangs. Some people truly believe that bangs will ruin anyone and everyone's face. You could be a 10 out of 10, the hottest, hottest supermodel on the planet and you'll still look better without bangs. Like, some people think that. I disagree. I personally love bangs and I think a lot of people even look better with bangs. So I don't agree with that, but I've heard that sentiment my entire life. And that's how I feel about cat eye glasses. You will always look better in a different frame. It is always the worst option. I'm sorry, this is just how I feel. Okay, moving on. I am really bothered by crop tops, which is unbelievable because when I was younger, I loved a crop top. In fact, if I bought a top and it wasn't cropped, I would crop it myself. I loved a crop top, okay. I thought it was the most flattering. I thought it was the most fashionable. Like, I really just thought the crop top was the vibe. Not anymore. Now I love a full length top. Like I remember thinking when I was a teenager, why do they even still sell normal length tops? Like, who's wearing that? Like it's too long, you know? But that was also, again, that was the era of like the high waisted pant and the crop top, like that was very much the trend of the time. So a long top didn't really make sense at that time because, you know, wearing a long, normal length top with high waisted pants, it's like it's a lot of fabric overlapping. It's not ideal, right? But that trend of like high waisted pant crop top, it's, it was simply a trend looking back, that was not timeless. And now I can't stand a crop top. Anything cropped, I, I don't like. And when I say cropped, I mean something that cuts off between like the upper belly button and like, I don't know, maybe like the mid rib cage cuts off around the waist. I can't stand it. And honestly, there's something about it that feels juvenile to me. Anytime anything is cropped, it just. It feels juvenile. Doesn't feel chic, you know, I just. I don't like it. The only sort of cropped top that I do like is when something is fully cropped, like, right under the boob. Okay. If something's cut right under the boob, it's almost bra. Like, that is fine for whatever reason. That doesn't bother me. That is a timeless crop. It is very revealing. It does show a lot of midriff, but it's classy, it's classic. There's something about it that I like it. It's like. I don't know, it just. It looks good, but like a crop mid waist, it just. To me, it always looks a bit juvenile. I don't know. It feels immature. It feels kind of messy. I feel like it is unflattering. I don't know. Unflattering in the way that, like, it doesn't elongate the center of the body. Right. Like, when you cut off at the waist with your top, it sort of shortens the abdomen. Right. The torso looks elongated in a way that's very flattering in a top that goes all the way down to the hip bone. It also looks elongated when you're wearing a very, very small top that cuts off right below the breast. Right. I don't know. It. It. It elongates the torso. Whereas when you're wearing a shirt that crops at the waist, it sort of cuts your torso in half. So it doesn't elongate. It doesn't make things. I don't know, it just isn't as flattering to me. And it feels very. I don't know, it feels kind of cheugy to me. I'm also kind of over midriff in general, like, showing the tummy. I mean, there are times when it makes sense, and it's fun and chic and cool and interesting, but in general, I'm kind of over it for now. But again, like, I. I can't say that midriff is a pet peeve, because I actually do like it sometimes, especially when, you know, it's with a very small top that cuts off right beneath the bosom. I hate a crop top. I don't think I own one crop top anymore, which is unbelievable considering how obsessed with them I was for so long. Okay. Next, improper layering. What I mean by improper layering is wearing like let's say a long sleeve shirt with a short sleeve shirt on top of it, right? For sort of a layered look and not choosing the right pieces for the layering that you want to do. So like choosing like a loose long sleeve T shirt and then putting like a tight short sleeve T shirt over top of it in a way that looks bunchy and misshapen and lumpy. That's a pet peeve. That's a pet peeve. And listen, I get it. Sometimes you want to layer two things together and you try it and it doesn't work and you're like, well, what the fuck? That was my whole idea. What do I do now? I don't have like another white T shirt to try, you know, I don't have another black long sleeve to try, like, whatever. Honestly, I get it. I get it. Even though I have collected a lot of basics over the years so that I could have a lot of layering options, because that's one of the main ways that I style myself on a personal basis, on a day to day basis, I do a lot of layering and that's how I build unique outfits, is through layering. And I get it. Sometimes it's like heartbreaking because you'll try two things together and they don't fit right together and it sucks. And even, even me, somebody who has a lot of great layering pieces, you know, like I have a tight short sleeve white T shirt and a loose short sleeve white T shirt because I know that both of those tops will come in handy for layering depending on what's underneath or what's going on top. Even for me, somebody who has collected a lot of layering pieces, I still sometimes struggle to layer things properly. Sometimes I'll try something and it's lumpy and it's bumpy and it's creasing and it looks wrong and I have to give up on it. And I have to say, you know what? This didn't work. And that's something I'm going to have to grapple with. And that is something I'm going to have to mourn the loss of sometimes, you know, you just have to be honest with yourself. I can't layer these two things together. Another example would be like, I don't know if somebody wanted to layer like a pair of jeans with a skirt, kind of early 2000s vibes, that could be totally cute. But if that skirt is too tight or too thin and you can see all the denim, like, lumps and bumps poking through. It doesn't work. It doesn't work. You know, like, not every layering idea is gonna work. In fact, layering is challenging. It takes a lot of practice, and it takes trial and error in your closet. And if it doesn't work, you gotta know it's not working, and you gotta give up on it. And it's a pet peeve when I see, you know, improper layering, because I'm like, not only is that probably physically uncomfortable for the person wearing it, but it looks uncomfortable. I look at it and it looks wrong, you know? All right, moving on. Literally anything cinched at the ankles, Okay? I mean, obviously, like, any sort of jogger kind of pant. Oof. No, that's tough for me. Even sweatpants that have, like, a cuff, you know, cinch at the ankle. No, I really. I really don't believe there's ever a time where having something cinched at the ankle is a good idea. Now, listen, I used to wear cinched at the ankle sweatpants all the time. One of the first, like, red carpet looks. It wasn't even a red carpet. It was for the Streamy Awards. Every time I bring up the Streamy Awards, I'm traumatized from my horribly cringe speech that I get reminded of at least once a month against my will. I wore, like, a weird pair of, like, plaid pants that were sort of cinched at the ankle. Like, they kind of tapered down at the ankle. Oh, my God, they were hideous. Anything tapered at the ankle, Anything cinched at the ankle, I. I can't stand it. I personally can't stand it. But even, like, a sweatpant and majority of sweatpants on the market are cinched at the ankle, right? That's the most common ankle cuff that you see out there. I think it's horrible. I think it's horrible. I think it's horrible. I think it's unflattering. I think everything looks better. Straight leg and. And have no fear, okay? If you have some pants or sweatpants in your closet right now and. And they're cinched at the bottom, don't donate them. Cut the cinch off. And then guess what you have. You have a beautiful straight leg. If you have a tapered pant, it's a bit harder to fix. You could bring a bit of a fun fabric to the tailor and say, hey, can you make these a straight leg? And then they'll open up the seam on the side and add fabric to make it a straight leg. You could upcycle these things. Okay? So don't give up if you're realizing, wait, Emma's right. Straight leg is better. There's options, but there's also the decision to never buy something cinched at the ankle ever again. I cannot handle it. A straight leg always looks better in the same way that, like, a crop top sort of cuts off the torso and prevents the elongation of the torso. Like a classic long shirt that cuts off at the hip, know, sort of elongates the torso. The cropped cuts it halfway and sort of shortens the torso. Right. It's the same thing, in my opinion, with a pant that cuffs at the bottom or tapers at the bottom, that break at the bottom. Well, it's not even a break, but like that, like, point at the ankle where it gets small, it cuts off the elongation. Right? Like when you're wearing a straight leg pant or like a uniform width pant where it's the same width all the way down. You know, it. It makes the leg look like this one long, beautiful sort of leg, but when it's cuffed at the ankle, it cuts it off at the ankle. You know what I mean? It doesn't cut off at the floor. Like, when you're wearing, like, a straight leg pair of pants, it cuts off at the floor and you have all that leg. It just looks better on absolutely everyone. This is. This looks better on everyone. You know what I mean? It's just better. Sorry. That's my opinion. Moving on. Logo belt. Every designer makes a logo belt. You know what I'm talking about? The Gucci belt with the two GS, the Louis Vuitton belt with the LV on the front, you know, big LV. I don't know. Every brand has their big belt with the big logo on it. I actually wore one, like, within the last year to fashion week because I. I did go to a Gucci show, and they. One of that. One of the looks that I really liked did actually have a big logo belt. And I will say I was like, you know, like, this is kind of a pet peeve of mine, but it's kind of fun to try. Like, let me try it, you know, and it was all right. But ultimately, I don't like the logo belt. I really, really do not like it. I think it's completely unnecessary. I think it's distracting. I think it's flashy. I think it's. I'm not into it. I'm not into it. I think it's. To me, it's cringe. And listen, I've worn my fair share of logo belts, okay. You can find photos of me online wearing a logo belt within even the last year. Okay? But they are ultimately a pet peeve for me. And they're like, it is kind of like early 2000s, like maximalism, like flexing, like, just like, fuck it, like Max designer, like, whatever. And it can be almost sort of campy in that way. And that's what I was trying to tap into when I wore the logo belt somewhat recently within the last year. But it didn't end up reading that way. Like, I didn't feel like it was fully as campy as I wanted it to be. And it just kind of ended up being like, not my favorite thing. It's just not my style. I just don't like it. And when I see it out, I'm like, you know what? This outfit that this person is wearing would look so much better with just like a simple Chicago classic belt or even like something weird. Like a weird cool design that's like something I haven't seen a lot or something like that. Like anything would be better. This episode is brought to you by ebay.

White sunglasses. I've never seen a white pair of sunglasses look good ever. I don't like them. There's something about the white sunglass that is not chic to me. Like when it's like white plastic around the side and then like a black lens or like whatever, any colored lens, just like white sunglasses. It's just ugly to me. It doesn't look elevated. It doesn't look Chicago. There's just something about the white sunglass that's goofy to me. I don't know why. It just doesn't look good. It's again, one of those things where it's like, anytime I see someone wearing a white pair of sunglasses, like white plastic, white acrylic or whatever, I'm like, this person would look better in any other pair of sunglasses. In my opinion. They're just sort of like the worst option. And I have probably owned a pair of white sunglasses before. I can't remember. They were never in my rotation, if so. But I probably have experimented with a white sunglass, but never again. Never again. Now they're sort of a pet peeve. Like, you know, when I'm sunglass shopping and I see a pair of white sunglasses, I'm like, why are we selling these? We need to go back to the drawing board. I mean, I rarely make like a blanket statement like, this color is bad on everyone. Right? Like, I don't think I can say that about anything else. White sunglasses, I am confident that that is always a mistake. I don't like the color purple. I really don't like it. Okay. In fact, it's my least favorite color and I avoid wearing it and I don't really like it. There's like a few shades of purple that I quite like. Super dark, purpley maroon. I like, you know, maybe like a kind of grayish, cool toned eggplant sort of purple. Love that. But for the most part, I hate purple. Like, majority of shades of purple I don't like. Again, though, like, I just mentioned a few shades of purple that I enjoy. And I also have seen purple look absolutely beautiful on many people. So I can't say that it's like all bad. Like, I can't even say that, like a, you know, purple piece of clothing is a pet peeve to me because that's not true. Like, there are too many occasions when it works on other people or it even sometimes, rarely, but sometimes works on me, you know, if it's the right shade of purple. So I. I don't know. I can't say that it's a pet peeve. White sunglasses are a pet peeve because they're always a bad idea. They're always the worst option. Moving on. This one is going to be a little bit controversial because this was really trendy recently and I'm about to shit on it folding over the top of pants. Okay. I'll explain this to you if you haven't seen it. It became sort of a trend to, like, take jeans or work pants, like Dickies or basically any sort of loose, oversized pant and basically fold over the top. Okay. On pants, right? There's that sort of 1 to 2 inch sort of seam. Not even seam, but, like, I don't know, like, strip of fabric that goes around the waist, you know, where, like, the button fastens and stuff like that. Folding that over. Okay. This became a total trend. Everybody was doing it. All the cool girls. All the cool girls. Okay. I never hopped onto this trend because it was always a little bit goofy to me. I'm gonna be honest again. I think it doesn't look good. It doesn't look good to me. It looks kind of sloppy to me. And I. Listen, I'm not trying to be like the chic police, like, shitting on casual clothing or whatever. There's just something about it that feels unnecessary. Again, in my opinion, pants always look better when they're worn normally. Like, pants always look worse when the top is folded over. I've never in my life seen someone wearing their pants with the top folded over and thought to myself, wow, their pants look better because they folded over the top. I've never thought that in my life because it's not true. You know, there's actually so much beauty in the way that pants are constructed. The fly is a certain length so that the sort of crotch of the pants hits a certain point on your crotch or on your leg. The seams that are supposed to be exposed on the front of a pair of pants are so beautifully done, so cleanly done. Then when you start flipping over the top now, it's like, okay, there's like, tags coming out in, like, unfinished seams that weren't supposed to be seen. And, like, it just looks bad. And also, the pant usually doesn't fit properly, right? Because if you can flip over the top of your pants, it means that the pants are definitely oversized. Okay? Which is a look, right? And I actually don't mind, like, an oversized, baggy pant. I'm into it. But if you fold it over, sometimes it'll, like, make the back all bunchy or, like, the crotch is, like, riding up a little bit too much or, like, you know, you have a little camel toe because you're, like, folding over the top. It's like nothing's fitting right now you have a pair of pants that's not just baggy, but also somehow, like, riding up in the crotch and, like, Is bunchy in the butt, and nothing looks good. It just. It's. To me, I don't understand it at all. I think it particularly, like, bugs me when, like, you can see tags, you know, like, you can see tags in the pants or, like, logos or something that's, like, on the inner waistband. That really bothers me. It bothers me because I'm like, for fuck's sake. It's like when you see someone with, like, a pimple just ready to burst and you just want to pop it. When I see somebody with their pants folded over and you can see all these tags popping out and, like, it's fucking riding up their crotch, and it's just. It's like, oh, my God. I just want to fold your pants back to the correct position. It's like wanting to pop a pimple. I just want to go over and fix it. It's irritating. It, like, gets on my nerves. Moving on. I'm getting kind of passionate. I'm so sorry. Okay, moving on. This is really niche and specific, so I'm gonna ask you to close your eyes. Unless you're driving, because that would be not good. Don't do that. Close your eyes if you can. If not, just really daydream hard for me here. Okay, let's imagine a strappy little shoe, Like a strappy little Mary Jane, perhaps, or like a little ballet flat that has some straps on the top. A little strappy closed toe flat shoe. Again, could be a Mary Jane. Could be, you know, sort of a variation of a Mary Jane with a few straps on the top. Imagine a shoe like this. Now go ahead and imagine that shoe for me with no socks. Now, to some of you, this is totally fine. This is cute. This is feminine and dainty and cute. To me, it's absolutely not okay. I cannot stand it. A little strappy shoe with no socks. To me, it's a pet peeve. I don't know why. I don't know why. To me, it looks bad, and it's weird because this is very specific. Like, instead of just saying, oh, just all flat shoes, like ballet flats, Mary Janes, any sort of variation of a ballet flat or Mary Jane has to be worn with socks. But I can't say that because I actually do think sometimes it is cute to wear a ballet flat. Like a very simple ballet flat. No straps, no nothing. Just very sleek ballet flat with no socks. Sometimes that works. It often doesn't. But because it does sometimes work, I can't lump it into this pet peeve. You know what? I'M realizing a lot of these pet peeves are things that look awkward and look unflattering on everyone. And this is just another one of those things. And it actually comes down to the elongation of the leg. Again, like the straps on the top of the foot cut off. No, but then if you're wearing a sock that also kind of cuts off. I don't know. I don't know. It's just there's something about it that looks awkward to me without fail every single time I see it. All you need is a little scrunchie sock. That's it. A little scrunchie sock and everything's going to be okay. Or like a little knee high sock that's like, you know, got a bit of thickness to it, got a bit of girth and you're good. It's cute. There's just something about that. I guess it could be fine if you were wearing like long pants. If you're wearing long pants and you were wearing a strappy little flat with no socks, eh, that's kind of fine. But like a skirt or a dress or anything like that where you can like see the ankle. Oh, my God, no. I can't handle it and I don't know why. Which leads me to another niche, sort of fashion pet peeve. Tights worn with loafers. Okay, like, so imagine, you know, somebody's wearing like a skirt or a dress and they're wearing tights underneath and then they're just wearing a loafer. Absolutely not. You can wear tights in a loafer, but you need to be wearing a sock over the tights. Otherwise it's like, okay, you got this knobby little ankle. You got this like, little ankle, this awkward little thin little ankle next to this bulky shoe. A loafer. It looks ridiculous to me and it looks completely imbalanced without fail, every single time. It never looks good. I don't know where these pet peeves came from because, like, these are such random styling choices that, like, it's not like I see these things all the time, but I've seen them enough that I know that they're a pet peeve. It's so random. I actually have another one that relates to shoes and socks and things. I am so sorry. If you are wearing a sneaker, you need to be wearing a visible sock that at the lowest hits your ankle bone at the lowest. Okay. Wearing no socks with a sneaker. Wearing invisible socks that are hidden inside the shoe with a sneaker. Unacceptable. Unacceptable. You have. I have to see A sock. If you're wearing a sneaker. Please, please, I have to see a sock. It always looks better. It looks awkward when there's a sneaker and you can't see a sock. Where's the sock? It's so weird to me. I see it and I feel sick to my stomach. Like I will never wear a sneaker without like a sock. That at least goes to my ankle bone. I need to see a fucking sock. I don't love an ankle sock, honestly. My favorite is like, what is this length of sock? It's not mid calf. Maybe it is mid calf. I guess like a mid calf sock, perhaps scrunched a bit is my favorite, but like a little knee high sock too. Just for the love of God, don't wear your sneakers without a visible sock. I need to see the sock. It just looks awkward. Otherwise it's awkward. This is a fact to me. This is a fact and I see it like I, I, I see it. And listen, I may be wrong. Like I, I'm not saying I'm right, okay? But I'm just saying I f I absolutely hate it. Okay, moving on to thong poking out of pants. Okay. This was very trendy during like our Y2K obsession a year or two ago. Maybe three years ago now, maybe four years ago now. I don't even know like what year it is. Like anyway, it was a trend when we were obsessed with Y2K. We were obsessed with Paris Hilton, we were obsessed with know, Britney Spears and we were obsessed with the fashion and like the thong poking out of the low waisted pants and you know, just hot girl vibes, right? I'm all about hot girl vibes. It might not seem like it because I rarely dress hot girl vibes, but don't get me wrong, I'm all about hot girl vibes. However, the thong poking out of the, the, the jeans or the pants or the skirt, like, no thanks. No thanks. I don't really like it. I don't like it. Number one. Because again, it just, it doesn't feel chic to me. It doesn't feel timeless. It doesn't feel like there are ways to like be kind of hot in like maybe a bit risque that are chic in my opinion. There's infinite ways to be risque and be chic. Some people might disagree with me on that, but I think that there are infinite ways. I think the song sticking out of the pant is not one of those ways. I think it's sloppy looking. It just looks messy to me. Like I Don't always hate underwear sticking out of pants. Like, I like a boxer short popping out of the top of pants for men and women. You know, that's a trend that started, I would say, with men, but has been recently actually adopted by women. I think it looks badass. I think it's sick. And it's is really comfortable, actually. Like, wearing a boxer under your pants is so comfortable. So it's kind of a win win there. And I actually don't think it looks sloppy. There's something about the thong. It's like, I also know every time I see somebody wearing a thong poking out of their pants, I'm like, they have pulled that thong so far up their fucking coochie that, like, it is just absolutely threading the cooter down there. Like, I know that because in order for the thong to, like, come up that high on the hip, you gotta just yank that thing up. I mean, that's a fucking UTI waiting to happen or something. To me, that's. That's a recipe for bacterial vaginosis. It's just not good. We don't need to be pulling the thong up that high. But it also doesn't look good. Like, if you're gonna go low waisted, go low waisted and let it speak for itself. I don't like the thong. I don't like it. I don't like it. I think I've done it before, but I don't like it. It was fun when we were, like, all, you know, doing the, like, campy, crazy Y2K thing, but once that excitement wore off, it was like, ooh, this is not cute anymore. Okay, moving on to rhinestones. I've worn rhinestones. I have. But that doesn't mean I don't absolutely hate them. I hate them. I've tried to make the rhinestone work, but without fail, every single time, I end up not really liking them. I just don't like rhinestones. I think even if you buy the highest, most expensive version of the Swarovski Crystal, it always looks cheap to me. It never looks chic to me. It always looks like a cheer costume. I was a cheerleader, okay? I know a thing or two about a Swarovski crystal, okay? I wore uniforms for years that were covered in them. And for a cheer uniform, it makes sense. Like, when you're on stage and there are a bunch of lights shining at you and you're tumbling and flipping around, the rhinestones look cool because they're serving a purpose. You know, they're emphasizing the Movement of the bodies in the sport. You know what I'm saying? It makes sense. But. But in any other application for fashion, it makes no sense to me. I don't. I don't like a rhinestone at all. And I think it always looks cheugy and kind of, I don't know, not. Not chic. It's not chic. And I've worn rhinestones. You know, Like, I've tried to make the rhinestone work, and I've even had looks that I've worn that have had rhinestones, a part of it that I actually really liked. But in general, I just don't like rhinestones. And. And they're a pet peeve of mine, and I. And I really hate them. And I hope I never wear a rhinestone ever again. Will I? Probably, because they're sometimes inevitable. I mean, not for my personal closet. That's easy for me. Like, I don't have any rhinestones in my personal closet, but I do occasionally wear something with rhinestones if I'm wearing, you know, a fancy look for an event or, you know, wearing a red carpet look or something. Like, sometimes there's rhinestones, because that's a material that is used sort of frequently. But I don't like them, and I'm going to avoid them for the rest of my life. Actually, I am not going to say that, because I do change my mind, and I might change my mind about this. Who knows? Okay, moving on. Platform shoes. Again, another crazy statement coming from me. I used to love platform shoes. In fact, majority of the shoes in my closet were platform, and I used to really like them because I felt like they elongated my legs, they made me look taller. And I do think that that was somewhat true. But now I absolutely can't stand them. And I particularly dislike platform shoes that are known for being not platform. Okay, so, like, an example would be a Converse or like Vans or like Uggs, right? Like those shoes. We know those shoes as being flat. I don't like when they're platform. I like. I prefer the classic, the platform Converse in vans especially. I like, cannot. I can't stand them. The Uggs are a little bit better. And there's some other ones that, like, are less insufferable to me, honestly. Even the platform Adidas. I know I work with Adidas, but I actually, those are among some of the best. I think they're done in a way that I actually quite like. You know, I'm not going to be wearing them because I don't like platform. I'm going to choose the classics. But there's just something about a platform that to me now it just again, it's not chic to me. And now that I don't like them anymore, I realize how goofy they look. Like they look kind of goofy. There are some platform shoes that are like designed to be platform and they're like really cool and interesting and like the fact that their platform is not their focal point. There are times when a platform shoe makes sense, you know, and it's cool. But I would say majority of them are not. And that's why I feel comfortable saying that they're a pet peeve. Because I, I, I hate almost every single platform shoe nowadays. It's just not for me. And, and I, and I hate them. Okay, moving on. This episode is brought to you by Mentos Gum.

Shop in store and@mybilli.com random floating belt added to an outfit that doesn't have any belt holes to go through and is sort of like gaping in the back. Okay, this is like so specific but it became sort of a trend but over the last few years to add sort of statement belt to an outfit. Like take a cute little outfit that normally wouldn't be worn with a belt, for example Like a cute little top with like a mini skirt. And then like a belt over the miniskirt, even though the mini skirt has no belt loops. And then like a boot, right? And then the belt is there to add texture and whatever. And that's cute. But there are times when in most of the time, this is the case where the belt like doesn't fit properly because, you know, maybe it's too low on the hips, so it's like causing weird creasing or gaping or whatever, or, you know, it's moving all about and it's like riding up or something because it doesn't have belt loops to keep it secure. That's a little bit of a pet peeve to me when something like looks really good on Instagram, like adding a cute statement belt to your outfit. But then in real life, like, the belt is like gaping in the back because it can't lie flat because it's not sitting on the right point of your body. Right. You know, you've like added it to an outfit where it kind of shouldn't go necessarily, or like it wasn't built to go so it doesn't quite fit right. And you know, it's like not also functional because, you know, it's not doing what it's meant to do, which is hold up pants. It's actually just there as like a texture moment, which is cool, but then it's like riding up and actually getting in the way of you living your life because it's not being used for its function. That's a pet peeve for me. I just. It's a little. It's just a little silly. Next, High heels. So high that the wearer can't walk properly. Sometimes I see people out or even like at an event. Honestly, people probably see me at events wearing high heels and think this to themselves too. But I see people out wearing these heels that are so fucking tall that they literally can't walk properly. They can't. They're like sliding their feet, they can barely walk. And I think to myself, I'm like, what are you doing? What's happening? And I've absolutely worn heels that are too high. And we can blame my stylist Jared. He loves a high heel and he wishes that I was good at walking in them, but I am not. If you can't properly function in a pair of shoes, you shouldn't wear those shoes. End of story. So anytime I see somebody like struggling to walk in a fucking heel that has their foot at a 90 degree angle, creased at like, the front ball of their foot. I'm like, what are we doing? Of course you can't walk in those. Why do you have those? What's the point? You can't walk properly. It looks ridiculous. I told Jared, my stylist. I was like, for events, babe. Like, we are not putting me in heels. I can't walk in, okay? Because, like, this is a pet peeve of mine. Not only because it's uncomfortable and I look stupid walking around, but also, like, on other people. I can't stand looking at it. So I don't want other people to have to look at me and feel the pain of, like, oh, my God, she can't walk. That looks weird. You know what I mean? Whoa. This next one is so such a pet peeve. Ankle boots. Okay, so like a little boot that's. That cuts off, like, right above the ankle bone or even. I'd actually go as far as to say, like, even. Like a mid calf boot. No, that's fine. Mid calf boot is fine. An ankle boot. An ankle boot where the ankle is being shown. Okay. To me, ankle boots are meant for going underneath a long pant, underneath a long skirt. Ankle boots are not meant to show the ankle. Do you know what I'm saying? That's my opinion. An ankle boot is already, like, tough to see. Like, I already have a problem with them, but I actually have a pair of ankle boots, a pair of black ankle boots that I absolutely love because they're comfortable. They don't have, you know, excess fabric going all the way up the leg or I guess leather. They don't have excess leather going all the way up the leg underneath. Say, like a long pant, which is more comfortable. They're great for wearing with long pants or, like, you know, a long skirt. Anytime I want to wear something long. And I don't want to wear like a kn. Knee high boot or even like a mid calf boot because that's too much material. I want it to be more comfortable and cut off at the ankle. And the ankle won't be shown. I wear the ankle boot and it's great. I would never wear those boots with something that would reveal the ankle, though, because that is not cute to me. Like, no one should be able to tell that they're an ankle boot. To me, ankle boots were created so that people just wouldn't have to wear, like, a knee high boot under a long pair of pants. Like, that is their purpose to me. A knee high boot, so cute. You know, you can show off the whole damn boot if you want even a mid calf boot. Cute. There are ways to style that where it makes sense. You know what I mean? An ankle boot. Oh my God, no, you gotta hide that ankle. Okay. Cause it is not cute. Next on the nose, retro, like borderline costume. Like when somebody's wearing like a neon 80s windbreaker and like, I don't know, some like tennis shoes and like just like looks like an 80s character from an 80s stereotype movie, you know? Or like when somebody's full on like 90s, like wearing like the geometric 90s prints and like wearing like again like the, the acid wash jeans and it's like, oh God, listen, I used to do this when I was younger, when I was like a teenager. I absolutely love this. I like loved dressing like a decade on the nose borderline costume. I thought it was so fun. And I loved like the vintage retro vibe on the nose. Now I absolutely hate it. And I think it's so. Again, it's not chic. It's not chic. I just think it's, it's weird. And I little, I don't know, I don't like it. I don't like it anymore. And I used to wear it. So I'm allowed to say that I hate it because there's many photos of me like fully like 90s cosplaying. It's very cringe to me now. But you know, what can you do? Okay, moving on to something that's going to be controversial. Okay. It's become really trendy to either wear a New York Yankees hat, which basically just has NY on it, or a Dodgers hat with the LA on it. Okay. Like baseball hats. Right. Specifically for LA in New York. These have become a pet peeve for me. Especially if you're not a fan, which most people wearing these hats are not at this point because it's become such a trend that like I had a fucking New York Yankees hat and I don't even live in New York and I also don't know anything about the Yankees. I just bought the hat because I found it at a thrift store and I was like, oh my God, this is so trendy right now. And like it's kind of cute and like I want to wear it, but I don't know, it just, it's like starting to like lose its meaning. Like now it's just like, it's so much cooler to like find like some sort of weird, random kind of personal baseball cap and wear that like, I don't know, like go to your favorite coffee shop. And see if they have merch. And, like, wear that baseball cap. You know what I mean? Or, like, order one vintage online. Like, go on ebay and, like, find a weird baseball cap. You know what I'm saying? Like, do that. Don't. I don't know. Unless you like the baseball team, unless you're obsessed with the Dodgers, unless you're obsessed with the Yankees. Like, you don't need to wear the hats. This is my opinion. This next one is sort of niche. It's like, I really only see this with people who are really into fashion. Like, love studying the Runway. Like, love the you. You know, all the different designers are, like, keeping up with what the brands are doing and stuff, who are, like, into fashion. Massive shoes. Huge, huge, huge shoes. There are many different brands that do this, and majority of them are, like, more kind of like, grungy, darker, more like, like black leather. Like, dark colors. More edgy. Just more edgy. And when I talk about, like, big shoes, I'm talking about, like, just like an absolutely massive, like, sneaker that's, like, huge. Like, triple the size of a normal sneaker. Okay. If you've never seen these, it probably sounds ridiculous, but they are out there. Or like, you know, a really massive boot. Okay. Like a boot that, like, has huge sole and like, a. And is like a huge heel and is, like super platform and, like, is really big and just like a big, I don't know, just like, abnormally large shoes or even, like, shoes that, like, have like, a really long point that goes out in the front or like a really, like, large square toe or something. There are a bunch of different versions of this, all of which fall under the category for me of pet peeve. I. I think the foot being really large doesn't ever look good. It always looks awkward. It either makes you look bottom heavy, or it makes you look like you're a fucking penguin flapping your little feet around because your feet are long or wide or big. Or it makes you look like a cartoon character because you're like, your feet look massive and your body looks super small. Like, it's just weird and I don't like it. Okay, moving on. Oh, wait. This is the last one. Last but not least, there's this certain length of skirt approximately mid thigh, where it's not quite a mini skirt, but it's also not quite a knee length skirt. It's like somewhere in between. This length of skirt, to me, is absolutely horrible. I hate it. I think you gotta commit to one or the other. You either got to Do a knee length skirt or a mini skirt. No, in between. Anything in between looks awkward, looks unintentional. It looks either like a knee length skirt that's like a little bit too short or like a mini skirt that's a little bit too long. It never looks right. It always looks unintentional. It looks like a mistake. You know, it looks like you bought a skirt that doesn't fit you properly. That's all I have to say. That was really fun. Yeah, I really enjoyed that. See, I can be a hater. You know I can. It's in me. You just saw a little glimpse of it. It's a little scary, isn't it? Now I have to go back to being nice again, okay? Because I had my little moment of being rude and being a hater, and now I have to go back to being an absolute ray of sunshine. But getting that out felt really good and I'm glad that you were here to experience it with me because it was. It was really fun for me. That's all I have for today.
