Why Did You Wear That: Only YOU Can Prevent Ugly Clothes!

I understand that some people think it might be nasty to make fun of what people are wearing, but I feel that I’m providing a public service not making fun of people.

I would never make fun of someone for something that they can not help (i.e., disability, deformity, body type).  However, wearing ugly clothes is a choice.  Nobody made you put those leggings on as pants today, did they? Didn’t think so.  It’s like littering.  If you littered, I would make fun of you too(because that’s lame and you’re lazy). Littering is a choice- just like wearing mom jeans is a choice.

In fact, I think I should be applauded rather than scolded.  Just like environmentalists who pick up litter and try to keep our planet beautiful, I also am making the world a more beautiful place- one outfit at time.

Remember Smokey the Bear? “Only you can prevent forest fires!”  Well, I say to you, “Only you can prevent ugly clothes!”

Why Did You Wear That: A Little Vindication

Today is a great day.  Few things could make me happier than knowing I am not alone in my fight against women wearing leggings as pants.

I found an actual “movement” to try and end the leggings as pants epidemic.

Here is an entire website dedicated to the topic: www.tightsarenotpants.com

And here is an amazing reason not to wear leggings as pants. Two words: Tyra Banks.

Keep up the good work.

That’s What HE Said….

I often think that a lot of women are dressing for the wrong reasons. Yes, that’s right. (I mean besides avoiding public nudity- which I see no problem with).

A lot of women seem to be getting dressed for other women. Which is fine, I guess. I would just think that when a woman spends 3.5 hours primping in front of the mirror, it would be to impress, perhaps, a man. Call me crazy, but when I go to work (which consists of all women and a few fantastic gay men- I work in fashion, remember?) I roll in wearing clothes that look good, but are comfortable and still somewhat stylish. I can guarantee that I am NOT looking fresh off the runway though.  This would actually be the perfect time for me to don my open toe booties and latex leggings cause the girls in the office might actually care… but I’ll pass.

However, when I have a hot date with my man, I pull out all the stops- however, this does not include my latest and greatest trendy fashion finds. You see, men don’t notice your “this season” Gucci booties, or your brand new Balenciaga bag. They are looking at you. All of that hoopla is lost on them and they probably think it’s a little ridiculous. If your man does care about your outfit and its fashion expiration date, you may want to take your “gay-dar” in for a tune up.

Don’t believe me? Below are some of the current “trends” (which my girlfriends have already so lovingly commented on) and my very manly guy friends’ responses to them.

Why Did You Wear That: The WORST Trends of 2008

By |December 31st, 2008|Why Did You Wear That?|

With the end of 2008 just around the corner, it is time to reflect on the past year and look forward to the year ahead. With this comes time to make New Year’s resolutions to better ourselves and hopefully to resolve from wearing ugly clothing.

Clearly, I have quite a few that I would like to never see again.. ahem.. Leggings as Pants… But, I have asked some of my savvy and stylish girlfriends which trends of 2008 they  hated the most: (more…)

Why Did You Wear That: Dear Beyonce,

By |December 30th, 2008|Celebrity Style, Why Did You Wear That?|

First of all, let me say, you are one of the baddest chicks on the block. You know how to work your curves (and have taught so many women to love their bodies), you have unbelievable confidence, and you can sing your butt off (though I wouldn’t recommend it, cause I think your male fans would be devastated). Plus, I give any woman credit who can lock a man like Jay-Z down.

However, your performance outfit last night on the World Music Awards, was personally offensive. Leggings as pants? Really? And latex ones at that? You have just set me back about 1000 years on this “don’t wear leggings as pants” campaign. Since so many women/girls look up to you, now they are going to think it is, in fact, okay to wear leggings as pants.
