Deliver us from Summer Fashion

Summer is almost over. 

I hope that means a deliverance from the following Hideous Fashion Trends We Wish Would Disappear Forever:

 Usually, the sock & sandal combo I see with men is black socks with sandals. 

Really - why socks with sandals? Doesn't it defeat the purpose of cooler feet? It certainly isn't stylish, so that can't be it.  The only age group that can carry off socks and sandals are very little girls. Knock it off, people!

Enough already with the muffin top jeans and other pants.  Please.  It looks like hell, it isn't flattering to any body let alone anybody, regardless of weight or fitness level.

I still don't know what's going on with Beyonce's shorts in these photographs.  Is that a pocket hanging out?

 Can we abolish shorty-shorts and ultra-mini skirts? Unless you're posing for a men's magazine, that is.  Otherwise, shorty-shorts and ultra-mini skirts . . . ugh.    And the woman in the mini-skirt.  That patch of denim looks more like an ineffective bandage.

Forever solves the mystery of "boxers or briefs."

I still haven't figured out how wearing your jeans below your butt cheeks could possibly be comfortable or stylish.  Many say the style originated in prison , as a way to advertise the man's availability as a sexual partner. 

Whatever the reason, I find it laughable when I tune in to a show like COPS and see some baggy-pantsed guy trying to flee and elude, but his pants are literally tripping him up.  Talk about "dumb criminals."  Get some suspenders, dude. Better yet - get pants that fit.

Wait a minute. How could I possibly aid and abet any criminal wanna-be?  On second thought, keep those baggy pants.  We lock and load at my house, but those baggy pants could be the big tip-off to the neighbors that you're an undesirable person to have around.  Call 911!

Not to mention you look just plain foolish with your pants on the ground.

Wouldn't it have been interesting if this Voice of Reason
had made the American Idol finals?

I bet her parents are proud.

I don't care what kind of underwear you wear.  Boxers, briefs, granny tighty-whities, bikinis, thongs.  Do I have to see them?  Is it absolutely necessary for everyone in public to witness the turning and churning of your other cheeks as you walk down the street?  For Chrissakes, will you either pull up your pants or pull your shirt down so I don't need eye wash for the rest of my life?


What summer trends do you wish would disappear forever?

  2. Did you know that the Pants on the Ground guy died? One of last year's Atlanta murder victims. Prolly by some saggy pants gangsta who had no idea he was offing a genuine celebrity. It's sad.

    And I really don't get the showing your thong thing. Thongs were invented so that people wouldn't see your panty lines. Why, then, are you showing us your panty lines?

  3. Ticketmaster - I agree, re: crocs! I just don't get it when guys wear sandals - unless they're on the beach. Obviously more men are claiming sandals as part of their fashion statements - which is ok, if it's for beach wear or not done with socks!

    Grace - how sad. No, I didn't know that General Larry (I believe that is what he called himself on the American Idol clip) had died. How sad! His was one audition that was genuinely fun to watch!

  4. Okay, that skirt is just wrong. AT a strip club, okay maybe but in public nah. I prefer a little more mystery.

    And yeah, nothing like seeing the thong.....Although I can think of a worse situation for that...
