Trends Gone Wild

Trends Gone Wild
Trends Gone Wild

Super short skirts with eskimo boots?  Dancing tights as pants?  Sometimes one can't help but wonder what fashion is trying to do to us.  Here are a few concepts that, well, you might regret ten years down the road.

1.  Boots with the Furrr.  Yes, it's a catchy song.  Yes, I dance to it.  Does that mean I'm going to resort to wearing a dead animal (or two or five) on my feet?  Hell no.  Don't get me wrong, I love warm boots as much as the next girl (or guy), but there's no need to skin a Yeti for them.  You're welcome, PETA.

2. Super big tent dresses (and shirts).  The Ringling Brothers called, they want their tent back.  I'm not sure where along the road shapelessness got confused with sexiness, but here's a clue: if nobody can tell if you weigh 135 or 335lbs, your dress is TOO BIG.  Loose is good and comfy, but make sure other people can tell there's a woman inside.

3. Denim Jumpsuits.  So maybe they're not exactly jumpsuits, but I've been seeing a lot of head to toe denim this year, (even from Chanel!). Honestly: just don't.  Please please please don't.  It happened in the 90s, it was bad, and we'd like to leave that behind.

4. Skirts over pants. Another one I just don't get.  I mean honestly: pick a skirt, or pick pants, you cannot have both.  The dresses over pants thing kinda worked (sometimes), but this one is just always bad.

5. Leggings as pants.  I have nothing against leggings.  I love leggings, in fact, because they keep my legs warm when I'm wearing a skirt or dress.  Key point here: they go under the skirt or dress...or hell, even shorts.  But leggings do NOT count as pants.  No, I don't care if your shirt is a little bit full and you want to balance it out, because that's what skinny jeans are for and now they come in all kinds of colors.  Do NOT wear leggings as pants.  Especially with boots, which by the way, don't count as pants either.
