As if the miniskirts with cowboy boots wasn't boneheaded enough...
I can't stand the way people are such sheep-- someone at a fashion magazine picks a completely random combination of colour/material/garment design, and sells millions.
This season's biggest offender: grey tweed 3/4 length pants. Why? Whyyyy?

This is not anti-fashion. An anti-aestetic can be interesting. This, IMHO, is lazy North American dressing. It could be any university in the U.S. or Canada. This look is ubiquitious.

I want to know if U.S. men think these beards they all seem to be sprouting are sexy? http://www.jossip.com/gossip/beardmodel-thumb.jpg

Why'd they photoshop Jesus, BradPitt and a guy in a suit together like that? Confused

One of the most tragic, and prevalent, fashion disasters I see is perpetrated predominantly by males. More specifically, white males in their early 30s to late 40s.

The recipe is very simple: tapered jeans with the cuff resting on top off a pair of putrid Nike cross-trainers.


You must be Australian or some near species as I've only heard this from people from that area of the world. The style you describe wasn't from Seinfeld -- it's been around pretty much since jeans and running shoes were invented.

It seems I don't make my jokes obvious enough. In my mind, the sarcasm is apparent....

I'm finding it annoying lately how Korean women walk with one arm out, palm face up, with their cell phones in their hands and purses resting halfway up their forearms.

Presumably the phones are extended so far to show them off. Why is this? Just about everyone has one.

And I guess they hold thier purses there, rather than on their shoulders or in their hands, because they think they're on a runway or something? I think it looks terribly pretentious.
