Mine are
Hoodies
Football shirts
Fleeces
Polyester and nylon jackets, e.g. brands found in Millets such North Face and Berghaus
Trainers/sneakers
What are yours?
Ball Caps - I believe we have exported this outside the U.S. as well.
Shirts that make one look like the Michelin man.
Suits worn with shoes and no socks.
2" and greater cuffs / turnups
Really tight trousers that make men look like chicks.
In business or casual:
Effete Ecco shoes or other brand equivalents.
The ultra cheap white shirt worn in the office with a polyester tie because there is a dress code and they're going to stick to it.
Jackets that are too short in length in all places, reinforced by a corseted waist.
When no break turns to half masts on trousers.
The modern equivalent to winkle-pickers in various shades of shiny brown, usually Italian made.
Flashing Rolex's around in meetings to ensure the attendees are aware that you have wealth if not taste.
Monk strap shoes.
BD collar shirts unbuttoned.
Sack jackets.
Kipper ties.
Winsor knotted ties.
Cargo trews.
Tracksuits.
Collars turned up on Polo shirts (unless worn on a cricket pitch).
Earings on men.
Goths & Hippies.
My pet hate is clothing with visible writing on it.
T shirts obviously - but also lots of other stuff. I particularly hate Super Dry who have targeted the back off-centre spot on their garments for written messages.

* Blokes in suits with backpacks (they look like losers)
* Sneakers
* Men wearing baseball caps outside of sporting events (makes them look like twits and very primitive and makes me think they probably have shit for their brains)
* Men with ear rings (they look like twits with shit for their brains)
* Daggy fitting pants
* Suede shoos (l don't hate `em, but they are silly on men)
* Cartoon ties
* Hawaiian shirts.

Some odd dislikes here: bow ties? centre vents? Really?
Mine are fairly run of the mill: nasty pointy shoes with no visible soles that curl up at the end (ubiquitous in the high street at the moment), gaudy shirts with high collars and two collar buttons (becoming rarer, thank God), watches so fat that the idiot wearers can't get their sleeves over them.
