Why is it mainly women who are being castigated for their poor/inappropriate fashion sense in this thread?
Well, to build on the Haus & Kit answers, there's also this whole huge fashion/beauty mag industry that's pressed to come up with "the hottest" trends every month, and so you start to go beyond perfectly rational things like hemlines moving up or down and into ponchos and the like.
I'm not all that into criticizing what people wear, exactly - shoot, if you sincerely love Ugg boots then whatever - so much as I think it's necessary for everyday people to step up once in a while and shout out that we see through some of these ridiculous trends-for-the-sake-of-trends they're trying to pawn off as cute. Because, even if for no other reason, in three months they're going to be telling you that poncho you just bought for $200 is the worst thing ever and you have to toss it.
For the record, or for Sax perhaps, my look is basically page 12 JCrew catalog - jeans, fitted tee, boots, a sweater if it's winter. So I'm no fashionista. |
