I still think sneakers are worse than shoes and socks

Sneakers with a girly shalwar kameez and earings and LOADS of make up? THAT would be scary:bummer:

^^^ yeah i’ve seen desi indian aunties in saris at imagine ??.. statue of liberty fairy ride … other include as i’ve mentioned in other thread
------ desi men in U.S seen wearing " too white sneakers " with dress pant or with jeans + dress shirt :check seen
------ desi +middle age+ overweight aunties with " too tight" clothes , and too deep necklines , or wearing too short blouses with saris ewweew check seen
------ desi middle aged uncles wearing outdated 2 piece suit with their tummy sticking out of pants not seen yet
------ desi young boys dressed up just like black or mexican folks check seen:rotfl:
------ my biggest shock was at eid funfair where a middle aged lady hairs all died up appear wearing highly pleated shalwar and too short shirt with poncho over it , and to add glamour to her too casual outfit she added a heavy gold jewellery set and bangles , and she was like all over the place
------ finally desi men who always tried to hide their baldness by covering it with hairs from sides or back and appered extra nervous when it gets windy ……seen too many

^^…Seen versus not seen

Re: Desi Fashion/Style Faux Pas:

LOL, some of them do, but most of the girls are like them... stinky non-showering fobs with too much oil in their hair, a crazy amount of cheap perfume to mask their body odor, pendu outfits like hello who the hell wears a chunni shalwar kameez to school?! Damn man ppl are crazzyyyyyy

And hsap - The comb-over. 'Nuff said.

Re: Desi Fashion/Style Faux Pas:

The over grown Blonde na?...Their frizzy chemically damaged hair looks as if baam phataa hai...

baam phata hai...

hahaha exactly, i could not have found better words to describe that.

Re: Desi Fashion/Style Faux Pas:

I think desi chottee/braid should be banned, gives ladies an excuse to not wash their hair...

and then the mustache...do ppl not realize it just does not go for everyone?

and the desi smell, is it not showering, not wearing clean clothes or smell of spices and stuff just stuck in your clothes..man, get some air cleaner, a vent or something. There is really no excuse to walk around smelling like curry. I mean some ppl may have real issues small space, no ventilation, no money, and I sympathize with them, but majority are either oblivious or dont give a damn.

Re: Desi Fashion/Style Faux Pas:

Men AND women need to realize the unibrow is not sexy, it just makes you look like an alien…:no:

Oh and sandals in winter, lack of a jacket… all in the name of fashion? Thats not even fashion!

Re: Desi Fashion/Style Faux Pas:

Oh and let's not forget the dudes with their ohh-so-sexy tight pants, oil slicked hair, and dress shirts with everyyyyyyyyy kind of outfit...

Ladies, ladies, ladies! Where do we begin? From the two different kinds of prints... a zebra print shirt with a flowery skirt... who are we kidding?!

When it comes to shalwar kameez, these maaaaadran ladies decide to go all out and flash as much as they can get away with... worn with a classic pair of chappal and thick white socks... man, it cant get any worse than that!

And ermm desi ladies/girls might wanna try investing in a good pair of jeans that dont ride up where we can see much more than we ever wanted, and try working out for a change... if u wanna wear bodyhugging clothes, at least sculpt the body!

Ok ive yet to c those type of guys here....most fo the desi guys in BK/NY are either very stylish/professional looking, or they go all out ghetto thuggish..

In Pak ive seen so many aunties wearing the nicest dresses but with freakin pillow size sweaters over it...it just kills the look...

As for jeans, blacks and hispanics have to be the worst! Ive yet to c a desi woman dressed in a spandex shirt wiht holes cut out on the back and stomach and weraing jeans that show extreme muffin top. Bash teh desi womne as much as u want, but I still think the best thing abt them is that htey still have sharam/modesty, u wnt ever see a bunch of desi womenw ith thier guts hanging outside of their thongs..

Guys wear that???..I have I think maybe seen it…And GOLD Chains on guys…and all these times I though In Islam guys r not supposed to wear Gold:cb:..

Re: Desi Fashion/Style Faux Pas:

african americans? if u must kaala may be aceptable but kalla kalloo kalli? your not kidding r u fraudz?

no i am not, because not all kalay are american, try telling a nigerian brit he is african american and he will punch u.

one of my best pals from childhood is a sudanese brit, try calling him an african american, he will say "I am black, I am a black brit" I am niether african, nor am I american.

funny thing is once I was talking about him and one of the too militant type ladies say 'excuse me, it is african american' and I had to tell her that he was a brit and thus niether african nor american.

no I was not kidding, because sometimes I want to drag in references to blacks in UK, but if i cant call em black or kala, then it becomes an issue.

PS: is habshi an acceptable word? I know I should know..but i forgot

Oh Oh Have u seen the guys who have tailored the whole suit from back home…(carner wale darzi se)not just the pants……In the long run ..it really does NOT save money..

I’ve seen black stone rings, gold bracelets, teeth bling, fake bling on the neck, its a bit much…

@Sabriya786

Sara- Have you never seen a newly arrived Paki male immigrant? Atrocious.

Nah I still think desis are the worst and most embarassing looking people in their pathetic attempt at wearing jeans… either its too mommy-ish or too ermm wedged up

Femme Fatale- I can get carried away sometimes

No I choose not to pick on immigrants. THey have it hard enough here as it is without ABCDs bashing them for wearing what they want…now someone living IN pak, or has been in USA for quite some time or kids born in USA, they’re fair game :D…desis are still better in the fashion department, at least hte older ones, compared to other people in the area…

hmmm I don;t think those mummy jeans are peculiar to desis in all honesty. Step out of your big cities and go out a bit and you’ll see plenty of whites wearing the same type of jeans too. I’ve seen a lot of spanish ladies in similar jeans too. Honestly how many desis have you seen on that tracy and patta nahi kon show on E? they r constantly going crazy over the wrong type of jeans that ppl r guilty of wearing and all those people r non-desis.

I will upload a gem later tonight, provided I don’t forget. It was an indian elderly lady wearing cowboy boots with a pulled up chunri print sari. This was out in the natural history museum in DC, I just could not resist so I sneakly took a picture of her bottom half

as I said use kaala is you must. I guess habshi works too since it is more or less used by Pakistanis to describe blacks than just people from habsh or is it habasha?
