Lex, I'm sure you have some body fat. Otherwise you'd be a walking skeleton.

well everyone has a LITTLE body fat, even nicole "nothing tastes as good as thin feels" richie, but ok about as little body fat as one can have without involving an eating disorder

― lex pretend, Friday, 4 May 2007 13:24 (eighteen years ago)

well as long as you don't go around wearing skinny, checkered pants.

― Ms Misery, Friday, 4 May 2007 13:32 (eighteen years ago)

No, we're safe on that one.

13) SKINNY JEANS AND POINTY SHOES ON MEN

cannot be said too often

Can I nominate those denim waistcoats please.

― Sarah, Friday, 4 May 2007 13:36 (eighteen years ago)

this poor guy

― homosexual II, Friday, 4 May 2007 13:36 (eighteen years ago)

14.) Skirt over pants

15.) Pedal pushers (if your legs are not *equiped* to handle'em)

16.) Footless tights (see 10)

13) SKINNY JEANS AND POINTY SHOES ON MEN

In some cases, completely ROWR.

― nathalie, Friday, 4 May 2007 13:38 (eighteen years ago)

srsly?

― That one guy that quit, Friday, 4 May 2007 13:39 (eighteen years ago)

Of course. I repeat: completely ROWR on some guys. Especially if they haven't seen a shower this year. Not that I would touch these guys. But to look at... drool at... ROWR.

17.) horizontal lines on t-shirts

18.) striped pants

― nathalie, Friday, 4 May 2007 13:40 (eighteen years ago)

never rowr for me. they make boys look feminine. feminine is only really a good look on girls. also to fit in some skinny jeans i've seen with any degree of comfort surely implies a v small cock?

don't like the way it's often accompanied by out-of-control messy hair, either.

― lex pretend, Friday, 4 May 2007 13:41 (eighteen years ago)

Nath, you like checking out homeless guys?

― Ms Misery, Friday, 4 May 2007 13:41 (eighteen years ago)

Dude, effeminate on some guys: Y.U.M.M.Y. Y'know, that hint of girlishness can be so arousing.

Sam, alas, we don't have any homeless people in my town.

― nathalie, Friday, 4 May 2007 13:42 (eighteen years ago)

Guy in original photo = Barenaked Ladies album cover of fashion

Horrible waistcoat:

And Mischa Barton looks DREADFUL in the pic they show there but I think that is due to her NEGATIVE bodyfat har har.

I am breaking Nath's fashion dictat today!

― Sarah, Friday, 4 May 2007 13:43 (eighteen years ago)

Oh yeah! SHRUGS. Hideous!

― nathalie, Friday, 4 May 2007 13:43 (eighteen years ago)

Sarah, still love you, toots! <3

― nathalie, Friday, 4 May 2007 13:44 (eighteen years ago)

his stuff kind of makes me sick to my stomach, truly. Wassup Rockers was good but just too much icky teenage boy sexuality stuff.

(I was mostly referring to the unshowered for a year thing . . .)

― Ms Misery, Friday, 4 May 2007 13:44 (eighteen years ago)

OMG: also, 'playsuits'!! Especially the ill fitting ones in the cr0tch region, so ew! Even the name is horrid!

I also do not like shoes which involve RAFFIA but I have always disliked them, dunno if they are particularly ON TREND atm.

― Sarah, Friday, 4 May 2007 13:45 (eighteen years ago)

you mean like espiradilles, those rope sandal things?

― Ms Misery, Friday, 4 May 2007 13:45 (eighteen years ago)

Yeh that sort of thing.

http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/19462 <-- don't really like the fake cork heel stuff either. I also don't like many gold shoes at all, there is a snobbish 'marbella divorcee' thing to them (which can sometimes be classic but most often = leathery overtanned DUD).

― Sarah, Friday, 4 May 2007 13:48 (eighteen years ago)

what have you done mischa? :(

― That one guy that quit, Friday, 4 May 2007 13:49 (eighteen years ago)

you're that guy?

― That one guy that quit, Friday, 4 May 2007 13:55 (eighteen years ago)

Horizontal lines on t-shirts? What's wrong with horizontal lines on t-shirts? Sure it can all get a bit Seth Cohen-ey, but that can't be the worst thing in the world, surely?

― I know, right?, Friday, 4 May 2007 13:59 (eighteen years ago)

i mean, i love you guys and all, but following ILX consensus style would surely mean I would have to wear a cardigan

― elmo argonaut, Friday, 4 May 2007 13:59 (eighteen years ago)

i kind of like those raffia shoes; but i dont have the clothes that would look right with them, so i stay away

This paint splatter thing was DOA when it came out years and years ago and it still hasn't gone away. I cringe every time I see it.

Hate those massive plastic glasses twats have started wearing.

Wow, high waisted trousers? really? i dunno if i can get behind that. I, for one, am tired of seeing everyone's asscrack.

How about a moratorium on bootcut jeans? The fashion equivalent of saying "WAAAZZZZZUUUPPP"

― Will M., Friday, 4 May 2007 15:01 (3 years ago) Bookmark

Still tired of this.

bootcut jeans? what if you hate skinny jeans? and sometimes wear boots/have a fear of seeing the tops of yr feet? - what then?

― Post-Manpat Music (dog latin), Wednesday, 3 August 2011 14:34 (fourteen years ago)

Some people I know need to let go of the newsboy cap

I agree with ascots and colored gloves, as Elmo stated back in 2007. Gloves are a woefully underrated accessory.

― homosexual II, Wednesday, 3 August 2011 14:36 (fourteen years ago)

"Angel wings, logo, skull, etc." shirt is cracking me up, since shirts (especially button-down, oxford style shirts) that actually have said graphics on them are at the top of my bad style trends list.

I still can hardly believe the pointy boots are A Thing. But apparently...they are! Aren't they? It seems like some kind of elaborate hoax but I swear I've seen like 40 pics of them by now and everyone in the photos appears to be completely serious.

FYI for those interested in pointy boots, here is a keychain I got for free after making a purchase at Jessica's. They're pointy, but not comically so?
