Fashion faux pas, habits and irritants.

[Miss Inquiry]

I get really irritated by jeans that are just slightly too short on people (falshing thier socks) and always seem to notice it. My best friend gets really irritated with people wearing pastel colours with black. There is the age old blue and green should never be seen. Do you have any funny fashion quirks that you adhere to, or that grate on you?

[oopsydoopsy]

Oooh another one is women with heels they can't walk inn't seem to realise how ridiculous they look!

Has anyone else been horrified by the sudden trend for very skinny jeans on boys? I have seen a few recently so tight in the crotch I can see exactly to which side he dresses and whether his girlfriend/boyfriend is a lucky beggar or not...far too much information, bordering on the obscene frankly!

it is red and green.

the reason is they are opposites on the spectrum colourwheel, and are called "contrasting" colours - whereas blue and green are next to each other and called "complementary" colours

the reason it that red and certain greens can often 'jar' the eyes and appear to almost vibrate

this also can happen with red and blue.

the reason for the blue and green thing is purely because people have over time got mixed up and its become such "common knowledge" that no-one ever corrects it or bothers to find out if they have it the right way round, because someone, somewhere will agree.

either way, its a nonsense assertion
