current fashion trends that drive you insane.

i'm a pretty easy goin guy. relaxed most of the time. but there are people runnin around flaunting some duds lately that make me ill. simply put.

#1. the big ass Polo shirt. "hey, just in case you have cataracts, and can't see my shirt well enough, yes, it is a Ralph Lauren Polo Shirt"



#2 The dress over the jeans. "I put on this dress, looked in the mirror, and it was just begging for a pair of jeans under it"

The "popped" collar. You look like a jerkoff.

i think it's dying, thankfully. of course, there are still the über-jerkoffs sporting double popped collars, in a last hurrah as if to insist that it's more than just a meatheaded trend.

+1x99999999999999999999999. It's the international sign of the knob.

Those stupid skintight jeans those damn emo kids wear.

ok, there's one i recently spotted on a high school-age Hot Topic-type girl that came into our store a couple of weeks ago, and i mentioned it to the surprisingly awesome Hot Topic employees (the ones that make fun of the morons who pay $150 for "bondage" pants...after taking their money, of course) that i know and they said that apparently it's a popular thing.

ok, so this girl was wearing her belt right below her boobs. while ridiculous in itself, she also had quite the gut goin' on, so the belt only accentuated that (like those girls i kept seeing in the mall all te time when i worked there a couple of years ago, the ones with the big guts and barely any boobs who would wear the shrug knotted in the middle over tank tops...umm you've kind of got the exact opposite body to pull that off, girls). i wish i could find a picture of either, especially on the body type i saw it on, because it's insane that they would even leave the house like that.

I have one of those.

It's long sleeved, though. And it is made out of a heavier material than standard Polos. I don't know how that validates it, but.. yeah

UGH I hate the belt under boobs thing. It looks sutpid and cant be comfy at all.

I think that look is super cute.

I actually kind of dig the dress over jeans look.

Wow. I have never even heard of such a thing. Someone must post a picture of this. It sounds like a horror show.

the only people i have seen in person that can pull that look off are Asian. for real. generally i see it and i'm like "why?!" but i have seen a couple of very cute Asian girls wear it nicely. i don't know, maybe they just happened to have overall better fashion sense. or maybe i am biased because i think Asian chicks are supercute.

and it's depressing to hear that people ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD are also seeing belts being worn under boobies. i thought it was just one moronic girl. now is one of the times that i am thankful i no longer work in the mall and don't have to see that crap every other minute.

I saw a woman in downtown LA today wearing what looked like old-fashioned "bloomers" as shorts.. with pointy-toed high heels. She looked quite fashionable otherwise, so I assume this is a style?

i do that all the time!

as for the hot topic bondage pants... they are my most hated trendy-type thing. i used to work there and had to move them around all the time- those things are freakin' heavy. as well as these things:

i'm proud to say that i can fit my whole self into one leg of those pants. once i got a co-worker in the other side. fun times.

i wouldn't say they're really in style anymore... but we still had them anyway.

ha ha ha. i could swear some of these comments came straight out of my sister's mouth. this is maybe one of the most enjoyable threads ever. hopefully it gets rolling pretty good. i live in a shat town that has no style or unstyle, so.... i can contribute.

i see the boob belt thing wasn't really searched for too hard, look what i found at hottopic.com

This is almost so pervasive a trend that it might otherwise be overlooked, but the T shirts with the offset graphics over the abdomen are a little ridiculous.

the funniest thing in the world was when some idiot kid would come in wearing a pair of gigantic pants with chains and fake handcuffs all over it, and within two minutes of entering the store would get caught on a rack or peg. then they'd sometimes fall down. if they took anything with them we'd make them clean it up, thus adding to their embarrassment. that was the best part about the mall - you knew most kids were just going to try and steal so you could abuse them all you wanted.

i want to punch every single one of those people in the face. who even wears that many pieces of clothing at once??? what is that, like, three shirts and a vest on the girl on the left???

oh! my last post reminded me, you don't see it too often now but it IS summer...

wearing like three tank tops over each other. different colors are nice, but i just don't understand. i thought layering was for winter...?

i was horrified to learn recently that this has come back. i already lived through it once and thought that it had acquired enough derision and scorn upon its departure at the time that it would never return. i guess that goes to show what i know about fashion trends.

thankfully, i have somehow managed to avoid seeing it 'in the wild'. because i probably would have pointed and laughed at the spectacle.
