7 Beauty and Style Trends That Guys Hate ...
By Gillian • Aug 10, 2013 MD

Guys can be SO picky and probably have a long list called 'trends that guys hate.' Don’t fret though; if you love it then wear it! Of course, listen to their opinion, but sometimes they just don’t know what’s up! Right ladies? So although this is a list of trends that guys hate, go ahead and rock it if you love it.

1. Bright Lips

Bright Lips Trends that guys hate can actually go on for a while, but I have heard this is a big no-no from my guy friends. Guys want to see that your lips are kissable. I think it’s as simple as that. If they go in for a kiss and then have red lipstick all over their face, they don’t like it. Trust me! My boyfriend would rather I go for the natural look.

2. Maxi Dresses

Maxi Dresses Sometimes a maxi dress can be shapeless and make us look a little frumpy. Guys like to see curves and the natural movement of our bodies. Oh yeah, and legs! Once we cover up our boobs and legs, let's be honest, they get upset. Regardless of our facial beauty (ha!) they still love to see more of us.

3. Top Sock Buns

Top Sock Buns I don’t know what guys are thinking, but I love this. They get thrown off with thinking there is actually a sock in your hair (which sometimes there is) and it has a 1950’s vibe that they are just not feeling. Guys like long hair and even pony tails, but once it gets pulled up they are just not loving it.

4. Uggs

Uggs My boyfriend HATES these… with a passion. Although I don’t own a pair, every time a girl walks past with them on, he cringes. He says they look like elephant feet and just make the leg look frumpy. I have to agree! I really don’t see a lot that is flattering about these, but hey, they ARE warm, right?

Discover the mystique and charm of historical garments with our carefully curated inspiration from the medieval era. If you're seeking authenticity for a theme party or costume event, here are some truly renaissance outfit ideas that will transport you back in time. Evoke the spirit of grand festivities with fashion that celebrates tradition and craftsmanship. Embrace a different period, dress up and have fun!

5. Ombre

Ombre I don’t know what it is about this trend, but it really throws guys off. They don’t like the look of you not taking care of your roots. Sometimes guys can get used to the more highlighted look of ombre, but I think it’s more of the strong line between the dark and light. Most guys I have spoken to says it looks cheap and ugly! Guess I better dye over mine…

6. Bold Eyebrows

Bold Eyebrows Guys like feminine girls, not girls with eyebrows that are bigger than theirs. They also like the look of a lady who has taken care of herself, and tweezing falls under that category! Although this trend is big in the fashion world, maybe don’t bring it to the real world.

7. Bright Hair Color

Bright Hair Color This really really throws guys' eyes off. The look can be a little punky, but once you put on a nice classy dress, it doesn’t work. Bright pink hair is a pet peeve of a lot of my guys friends as I think they just really don’t get it. Again, this comes back to guys liking the ‘natural’ look.

I know, I bet we can all say that we have tried at least 3 of the above trends. Whether my boyfriend hates it or not, I do still wear the bright lipstick and ombre! They get used to it ladies, especially if they know how much YOU like it! Which of the above trends can you not give up?

    The only things close to being accurate about this article are the uggs and bright hair color. My boyfriend loves red lipstick, maxi dresses, my bold brows and more. I know he is not in the minority.

    Be someone you want to be not what your boyfriend wants to see in you

    1) I've always used foundation under my lipstick and blotted and dried it with it tissue, it gives it a matte look instead of too bright and glossy and my boyfriend loves me with red lips, with what I do it doesn't rub off on you and the colour stays for a few hours. 2) But I also keep hearing guys complaining about women plucking their eyebrows and telling them to leave them alone. we can't all afford to get them perfectly done for us all the time. 3) what is wrong with maxi dresses? oh so we haven't got our body on show so it makes us unattractive? I'm pretty sure if you have a boyfriend and you are going out for the day he'd be fine with you wearing a pretty dress that doesn't show to much so you don't have other men ogling your bits all day. 4) I've never heard a man say he hates women with buns. 5) How can they not like bright hair colours when loads of guys are all over that trashy holly Hagen with bright red/purple hair and all my female mates rocking dip dye hair and bright red colours get loads of male attention. 6) I agree about the uggs but I know men actually like the REAL uggs its the cheaper ones and when girls walk on the sides of the foot with them and stuff that men hate.

    Everyone have different preferences so why on earth would you say guys in general don't like these things? It's human nature. Some like these things some dont

    My first reaction to this was: BS! Then I read your comments ladies, and re-read the article. Now I see it as more entertaining than instructive. The last line of the piece says it all, regardless of all that came before: she says she doesn't really care whether her bf likes it or not, she's gonna continue to what she likes, he will get used to it! If I had a bf that didn't like a touch of my lipstick on his face because I kissed him, he'd get the boot eventually anyway. I think it is more true, as some of you ladies have noted, guys tastes' vary. I am sure we've all met guys who are just clueless when it comes to "trends", they just like the way you look...then there are the guys who just have to tell you what they prefer, "that lipstick is too red", "I hate it when you put your hair in a bun, it makes you look like a school marm"...as far as UGGS go, does anyone still where them lol? I will draw the line at one guy comment: "that looks cheap." What precisely does that mean? If I wanted a to be judged, I'd live with my mother...I think this is all in good fun, and I hope more ladies post their comments

    I like sick buns but I know for a fact that guys don't like it. They made reference to librarians.
