Illegal.

October 26th, 2007 at 3:02 am . Posted in fashion, rants, ridiculous things .

I was having a discussion with my sister about things that should be illegal in regards to fashion. I’m talking huge don’ts. I consider these major fashion offense. Please feel free to add your own fashion don’ts or to contest my own rules.

1. Crocs. Are you a doctor? Are you on your feet all day that you need to wear shoes made out of foam? Yes, I am sure they are comfy but who honestly walks into a store and says, “Oh wow! Look at the those cute shoes!”. No, I really doubt you do. They are not cute. Not even a little bit. Please stop wearing them.

2. Logo tees, all over print and saying tees. Shirts that scream a brand name are not necessary. There are much more fun things to buy that don’t literally brand you. All over print was cool like 2 years ago. Now you can throw anything all over a hoodie and people with buy it. Tees with sayings on them, yeah, not witty or funny. If you need your shirt to be funny to get attention, that does not say much for your glowing personality.

3. Victoria Secret PINK. Not so much the items, more the girls who decide to wear a full on PINK sweat suit. PINK sweat suit because are too lazy to get a regular outfit on, but still have enough time to do their hair and cake on the make up. I have to admit, I do own PINK items but I most definitely DO NOT wear them out in public to the mall or to school. I really just like the little dog, to be honest.

4. Fake designer handbags. I know some handbags are ridiculously priced. Not everyone can afford a $1200 bag, I know I can’t. But if you are going to buy a fake bag, please at least let it be a good fake. And don’t wear your replica Stam with your ratty tee shirt or sweatpants. It just makes it all the more unbelievable.

5. Ugg boots. Ugg boots are practical if you live somewhere it gets cold. Wearing Uggs with your denim mini is just ridiculous. Throw leggings on under the mini and you will make me flinch.

6. This is the most important rule of all. Listen closely. LEGGINGS ARE NOT PANTS. No, I’m sorry, they are not pants. Leggings under skirts or dresses are also not cute but not as bad. Big shirts and leggings are gross. Metallic leggings, print leggings, latex looking leggings, lace bottomed leggings, THEY ARE NOT PANTS. THEY WILL NEVER BE PANTS. STOP WEARING THEM AS PANTS.

Linds, take note. Leggings = not pants.

    I want to meet the person that does a google search and is led here by your tags.

    I imagine an emotional high schooler typing in “are+leggings+pants?”

    And then Google will shoot back:

    “illegal. << Oh! how lovely!
    Linds, take note. Leggings = not pants… fashion donts, leggings are not fucking pants. fashion, rants, ridiculous things.

    Cache – Similar pages – Note this”

    Then she’ll realize leggings are not pants and be happy.

    It’ll be funny, you watch.

    That’s totally what inspired this post! In a previous post, I mentioned that leggings shouldn’t be worn as pants and someone found me from that. I will keep everyone updated on futures searches. I think hilarity will come of it.

    I’m going to ruin some girl’s whole closet. They will thank me in the end though!

    IAWTP SO HARD.

    1. crocs, ugh. idc how ~comfortable they are, i will never understand ANYONE who buys them and wears them outside of like, the shower. SERIOUSLY, PEOPLE.
    2. agree, agree, agree. allover print hoodies look so juvenile and tacky and cheap.
    6. agree on the pants parts (srsly wth, who wears leggings with a polo?), although i don’t mind leggings or tights under certain dresses/skirts/tops. it all depends.

    I hate crocs!! They’re so stupid and UGLY!!!! Unless you’re Mario Battali wearing them around your kitchen, take them off your feet! And those stupid pin things that you can decorate them with, even worse!

    Just so you guys know, I just got a hit from “metallic leggings wholesale”.

    Why the hell would you want that many pairs of metallic leggings!?

    I was agreeing readily.. especially the leggings/tights part, and the Crocs. *gag*

    But I do own a slogan tee.. my I’m A Noun threadless tee, that confuses 90% of the people who see me in it.

    Classic.

    Dude, I totally feel you on the crocs. With one exception being that I think they’re okay on little kids. LITTLE. KIDS. That is all.

    And leggings are totally not fucking pants.

    Ditto on all points. This could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship. I loved this post.

    OMG, I so hate leggings. I don’t even like leggings in yoga class.

    Oh, and Crocs were the worst invention ever. It drives me INSANE to see someone wearing something like a bright lime green t-shirt with bright lime green crocs.

    Lisa – I’m pretty sure I saw shearling lined crocs at Macy’s this weekend. I kind of wanted to cry.

    I probably should never ever admit this here, but I wear leggings. As pants. In fact, I wore black ones last night paired with an ahem… long gold sweater. And I looked fucking hot. Pants or not. :-)
