Can't think of any at the moment.....

Jessikams nailed my pet peeve, when there's something ornamental that *could* be functional but is not, like button closures that are fake. The thing I have long hated is anything with a wrap detail that is not a true wrap-around. Could be my PTSD from all the nursing tops I had to wear for three kids...

Lesley, does that hatred extend to skirts? I find a true wrap skirt more or less a wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen...

Angie, this is probably because a.) you have learned to boss your clothes around when something irritates you (e.g. Snipping off those thin thread loops that hold a "self belt" on a garment, or snipping off those ribbon loops meant for hangers that Jaime dislikes), also you're more strict than some of us about saying "I know ___ drives me crazy, therefore I will not buy this garment."

April, you are a treasure, and make me laugh! Thank you!

I hadn't thought about it, but your conclusion is spot on. I'll add cutting the fringe off scarves, and leaving pants on the rack when those pesky linings are unthoughtfully made and grin through the front of the garment!

Good call, April, you are so right, and it's no wonder that the last time I owned a wrap skirt was in my 20s, and I do remember a few unintended Marilyn moments.

I think it's really tops and dresses. Something about when it looks wrap-y from the front and it all ends in the side seam...

I will pile on with hating non-functional features like buttons at the shoulder and faux pocket flaps (especially on leggings - what?). You can't remove them without damaging the garment unlike those wee bits of ribbon at the shoulders.

I also cut off the sleeve tabs! I have tiny, very sharp scissors just for these "alterations".

This is a fun thread, April -- thank you!

I'm with journey in loving all the "once there for a reason" details -- epaulets, storm flaps, coin pockets. But April, you are so right about wrap skirts and dresses. Except -- miraculously and inaccountably -- the Ripskirt! How come that one does not fly open? I do not know. But it doesn't (at least mine doesn't).

What I don't like is non functional buttons on jacket sleeves. I want those buttons to function. I have a lovely jacket from Hobbs that Angie also owns but the sleeve buttons are merely decorative -- it drives me crazy. At that price, non functional buttons? Argh!! It's clearly not a feature that bothers Angie or she'd have told me! But I couldn't know in advance since I ordered online and I was not sending it back to the UK after paying import fees etc. So I live with it.

I took a bunch of stuff to the alterations place last week, including a pair of shorts & some pants. I had thought they both had back pockets sewn shut, but closer inspection reveled there were no pockets at all! Just a couple strips in the back with trim on them that looked like pockets. She’s opening them up and actually putting in pockets for me. I can’t wait.

Now THAT'S what I call bossing your clothes around (not the other way around)!

"@SF said 'Let there be pockets' - & so it was so!"

I dislike bras and undies with little bows or even worse little charms on them, as they can create funny lumps and bumps under clothing. Generally underwear is that, to be worn underneath clothing, so the additional bells and whistles are not welcome!

Thoroughly agree with the wrap dress, skirt and top comments, wraps in my City which is windy, are a disaster.

Suz, I think the Ripskirt doesn't fly open because it's closer fitting than the typical A-line wrap that closes at the waist with one ribbon and a tiny button. And working cuff buttons are a lovely detail that usually indicates good quality.

Bijou, my favorite Simone Perele bras used to have a metal SP charm in front. Every time I washed them they snagged something. They must have gotten complaints because now the "charm" is embroidered.

Z - ROFL

SF - yes, it's worth it to have a piece the way you want it.

Angie - happy to make you laugh!

Roberta - shoulder buttons can also be a painful add-on for anyone who relies on a crossbody bag. Strap + button pressing into shoulder = ouch.

Meanwhile, I scored a NWT aubergine Burberry wool wrap coat on The Real Real. It fits my shoulders but there is just too much heavy fabric at the waist, bunching up around the belt. There's a center seam in the back, however, so I'm about to take this one to the tailor.

I'm sure the bill for this alteration will have me acting like Lucy Ricardo, hiding a receipt from Ricky. (JK, Mr. A is nothing like Ricky.)

I had missed a few posts to this thread when it grew to a second page.

For the record, I LOVE thumb holes in sleeves. Have actually been known to slice them into the cuffs of gearish tops, for all the reasons Janet mentioned. (Also sun protection.)

Though I love old military stuff, I hate the fake epaulets they do today...there is no need. And pockets on t shirts, no!

Zaoebi, hah! That’s me.

April, I’ve never had a shirt with thin holes, but I love the idea & the look.

Judy, you're so right about tee shirt pockets.

SF - check out Cuddliduds, they were my gateway to thumb holes.

ETA a correction: it's Cuddl Duds, no i.
