It is critical to keep your head, body core, and feet warm. Your arms and legs are somewhat optional. Down vests are extremely funcional.
Here’s my list:
Women: flip-flips with fashion.
Both: those fugly “I am so square I am cool” rectangular thick black framed glasses.
There are things like Uggs, sweat pants, mens sandals and the like which are functional and comfortable, even if a tad ugly. Thus they don’t really fit into “fashion”.
I think sweatpants are hot on girls if they’re tight around the butt.
They were hot on girls when the actual nerdy girls wore them. Ever since Tina Fey’s unfunny ass made the librarian-look “cool” they suck. They’ve always been awful on guys.
So how are things in the Shire these days?
If you lived where it got 120+ degrees you wouldn’t give a shit. Sandals feel goooood.
Skinny jeans on men (I read they are making a comeback). They are not flattering on anyone.
After the jeans of the late-80s to early 00s, normal jeans look like skinny jeans. I’m pretty sure the jeans I have on now are actually “loose fit”, but they look positively slim!
Just general hideousness, which I suppose I actually get in a “Oh no you di’n’t” kind of way: crazy long fingernails. Bonus points if they have fingernail bangles hanging off the ends. Or photorealistic miniatures of roses or the dearly departed, for that matter.
Also, memorial tattoos. I particularly like this one.
In re shrugs, they aren’t appropriate for fending off the cruel ravages of a northeastern winter, but in Southern California I see lots of girls wearing them. They both fend off the moderate chill of sea breezes and accentuate the boobs. What’s not to love?
I thought you were going to link to this unfortunate mess.
Trust me, you’re still look loose compared to the newest trend. It seems to have done a complete 180 from what was popular just ten years ago. The jeans are skin-tight, tapered, and worn mostly by really skinny, really tell emo hipster doofuses. And I don’t have to tell you that tight, tapered jeans on a tall, skinny kid makes him look like he’s a ten year old buy outgrowing his clothes. Case in point.
And then they wear them with extra-small hoodies that have stripes, or small pink skulls, or gold stars all over them. Look, hoodies are nice and functional and all, but they should be a plain, solid color. Maybe a small graphic in the corner, or a sports team name on the front, but that’s it! None of this crap.
No, no- bubble dresses is what I think they’re referring to. Hideous- that trend can’t be over soon enough.
Crocs. I hate them. Don’t even start with me.
Those polyester-type wide-legged knee-length pants that were so fashionable a couple of years ago- I don’t know the name of them but god those things are ugly and not flattering to anyone.
Nobody over the age of 3 should wear overalls, ever.
And stirrup pants were useful because they held your pants down, under your scrunched socks that were the same neon bright color as your long sweater that you wore over the stirrup pants. They did serve a purpose.
Hey, you’re describing my 15-year-old, and you forgot to mention that they also color their hair black, and straighten it with one side covering one eye, and they also wear Keds, preferably plain black or checkered.
Except my 17-year-old says it’s not emo, it’s “The Scene”. Whatever. I just congratulate him on looking like Pete Wentz, who he hates, and offer to do his eyeliner, which he’s actually not into.
overalls on men - I don’t know why I ever liked them, but they just looked so silly. I always associated overalls with babies I guess (osh kosh)
Chuck Taylor All Stars - they just looked so cheap and didn’t seem to offer any support.
Those shirts that woman wear that are reasonably tight on the breasts and are loose below that. They make all woman look pregnant.
Can you elaborate on this?? A navy blazer with khaki or gray slacks is a no-no? If I want to wear a navy jacket with navy slacks why wouldn’t I buy a navy suit? Maybe I’m just missing something but I don’t get the problem.
I disagree with Argent Towers on this one. Michael wore that look a lot on Arrested Development and it looked good. I would rock it if I was 10 years older and lived in a climate where jackets were practical . . . or even possible really.
The I-thought-it-was-passe-now pants on boys hanging down far enough to see their entire underwear.
I’ve read Alison lurie and know it means I’m not grown up yet, but it looks so funny, as if their pants are falling down and they don’t realize it.
On females, any top with depictions of cats, or holiday items with glitter. Oh yeah.
Also, midriff tops when you have a large roll of fat underneath.
And this nonsense.
My feet aren’t. And that’s less a fashion than just a way of putting something between my feet and a hot/cold/sharp floor in the easiest manner possible.
High-waisted jeans seem to be making a comeback, and they look awful on everyone but very thin women who also have enormous boobs.
