noooooooooo! part deux
Enough! I have had it up-to-here with the skinny jean craze! They are impractical, unflattering and overall, just plain ridiculous. Hear that, United Kingdom? Stop trying to infiltrate our street fashion! Clothing retailers--it's time for you to rally against the ugly! No more skinnies on your shelves, please!
I can't take it any more! I encountered a sight on my walk home from work yesterday that no one should have to endure. Picture it: two hipster boys in vintage indie rock t-shirts and shaggy hair--okay so far, but you have to look out for what the Fugs have termed "the scroll down." I noticed that the hipsters' gait was kind of funny, so I scrolled down to see one of the biggest fashion mistakes ever: low-slung skinny jeans. The jeans were skinny--skin-tight skinny-mini--and these misguided wannabe rocksters were both sporting the jean waists at mid-ass level! More than half of their underwear was visible! The weirdest and worst hip-hop-slash-hipster street style I've ever encountered. And it wasn't just an aesthetic faux-pas! The combination of tight and low worked to constrict their leg movements, causing the hipsters to WADDLE. Like ducks. Or penguins, if you're into that. It was awful and probably dangerous, either way you look at it.
Please, dear readers, just say no to the skinny. Before someone gets hurt.

Ewww! Did you have to see hipster butt-crack!? Whitney put it best- Crack is WHACK!!
Preach sista, preach.
To everything there is a season. Boot cut, slim cut, high-waist, mid-rise, the fashions they come and go. The wheel turns, the Buddha opens his eyes, the boot cut jeans come in. The wheel turns, the Buddha closes his eyes, the skinny jeans come in.
But since you mentioned guys wearing jeans slung down practically to their knees, I must wonder: when is THAT look going to finally go out? I remember this being a school dress code issue by the time I was in the 6th grade. Think of all the changes there have been in women's jeans since that time. Yet for the past DECADE AND A HALF the guys of America have consistently been waddling around in jeans slung halfway to their knees. This includes teen boys who weren't even born when the look first came in.
Why? Why, why, why won't this look go out? It isn't practical, and it isn't attractive. So why on earth are there still so many guys around who can't pull their pants up?
