This actually started as a discussion on Blog Catalog, and I think I’ve opened up a whole can of worms! So I thought I’d blog about it here too.

I’ve always been a fan of good fashion, good meaning wearable and well… fashionable. I was a fashion victim once, hasn’t everybody? When I thought wearing a nylon water proof tracksuits was the IN thing. I’m glad that I’ve seen sense and lets admit it, we’ve made some fashion faux pas in the past.

So what fashion fads do I find confusing?

1. Emo Jeans – I mean WTF? A vacumn pack type wear for depressive teens. Which makes their legs look like bean poles. Never mind slitting your wrist, wearing those jeans with restrict blood flow to your brain.
2. White socks – I know this is not a fashion fad, it’s actually worn by normal people on a daily basis. But it’s how its worn, that’s my problem. MEN… who wear them with sandals! Why?!
3. Baggy Pants - It really bothers me when I see them, not only they look uncomfortable, but it looks smelly (kinda imagining that they’ve actually messed themselves)
4. Crocs - I mean, stores should be arrested for selling them at £25.00 a pair. The plastic shoes that is apparently as comfortable as they are ugly. I’d rather walk on coals.
5. Playboy - tacky, pink and cheap. That’s all I can say about that.
6. Thongs – that shows over your jeans. I mean ok, that fad has come and gone, thongs are sexy but not when it’s restricting bloodflow to your nether regions.
7. Slogan T-Shirts – You might be “The Daddy” or even “Brought Sexy Back”. But somehow something like that printed across your chest just makes me think you’re a “Total Idiot”.
8. Basketball singlets – They look great on Michael Jordan, pasty whities? Nope! The same rule applies to baseball caps.
9. Tribal Tattoos – Unless you’re Seth Gecko from Dusk Till Dawn or has rippling muscles like The Rock, then don’t do it. There’s nothing uglier than tribal tattoos on skinny pasty guys.
10. Designer Boxer Shorts – and men who shows them of under their jeans. Ok, it looked good on Mark Whalberg, but what’s so good with some old man’s name advertised on your waist? Has the name Calvin all off the sudden became really cool?
