Hideous New Trend: Gaucho Pants

Or at least a reëmergence of an old trend that I thought had long since been dead and buried. Gaucho pants, also known as culottes. You've seen young people wearing them on TV. And I see them EVERY FUCKING DAY on some stupid young woman on my university campus. I thought velour track suits were bad! I though Uggs were bad! I was wrong. Wow, these are hiddy. Are you fucking kidding me?

I will wear them with my Uggs. Just try and stop me!!!!!!

One step closer to pirate fashion infiltration...

*cries*

WHY????

*cries some more*











and no doubt at some point I'll own a pair.

See, I don't mind these so much:

But these are like Jams... they hurt my soul:

That stupid young woman who you see EVERY FUCKING DAY probably says the same shit about your clothes.
Who gives a fuck about fashion. Wear what you feel, and don't step on someone else's feelings....or their Uggs.

These are ugly and cheap. Calvin Klein perpetrated this fashion crime, and it will cost you $28 to look ugly in a pair of these.



These are Laundry by Shelli Segal. $165. Looking ugly costs money sometimes!

Cram it sideways, Charlie. When I dress up, I wear classic fashion staples, like DvF wrap dresses, or new pretty little dresses and things by Nanette Lepore. Inoffensive to the eye.

You know, we have blogs like Go Fug Yourself and Manolo's Gallery of Horrors for a reason. To HELP people and to provide entertainment. I'm going to say right now that Philippe Starck is to the design world what Karl Lagerfeld is to couture. Because I felt like it.

Now this is funny.

if i saw someone in these,

i whould hate them

then i whould laugh

but i'd hate them all the same

(so these were fashionable once....? what happend to new GOOD ideas?)

Again, what's innoffensive to YOUR eye must blinds others.

How is ripping on someone else's taste in fashion helping anything. You sound like some prissy high school cheerleader that thought it was cool to try and bag on others for their sense of style. Way to go 9th graders...........

The best thing is that culottes will come back at least one more time during our lifetimes, Blarg.

Some things should just stay in the past, and this is definitely one of them. Yipes. There is NO body type that these flatter. I love when they are so tight that it gives the appearance of having 4 ass cheeks. Now that is just hawt.

are you kidding???
those have been popular in sweden for like a year... i hate them... i guess i can hate them with everyone else now.

Diane von Furstenberg makes pretty, flattering clothes for women.

Nanette Lepore is a new designer that makes pretty PRETTY clothes for young women. Dainty little affairs. And when you visit her website and click for the pop up frame, you hear Lou Reed sing, "You're a slick little girl." Which may or may not be creepy. Her dresses are very '50s good girl. I like it.

On a somewhat related note, I'm happy to see that my Zombie sistahs are still able to find modelling work:

the drinking to to block out the Gauchos and the Bermuda shorts

infact Bermuda shorts don't even come from Bermuda,
like panama hats,

silly names

Wasn't it Zombee? Can't remember. So that's why she left eh? To be a Gaucho pants model?!!

Sounds like somebody has some childhood issues they need to work through.

What the motherfuck?

Does it flood where these people live?

Nanette's last two seasons were prettier. This season is a little too hippie-dippy. Some of the shirts look like they belong on Luke from 90210, I agree.
