I love fashion. Clothes, shoes, boots, accessories, handbags…all shiny and new, promising, if not actually a better life, certainly a better-dressed one.
Which is not to say that I’ve always made good choices. Closet purging over the years has unearthed mortifyingly large piles of Goodwill donations that have included clogs (clunky wooden shoes. Yeah, those got me a lot of dates), a one-piece cat suit (during my delusional period, when I thought what worked for Halle Berry could also work for me), a wildly expensive cowboy hat (which looked totally ridiculous in downtown Vancouver, BC, where I lived at the time, but I was crushing on a cowboy from Calgary), and several bags of disco bling from the late 70s (still referred by my family to as my “unfortunate Afro era”).
One of the benefits of aging is the discovery of what works for you and what doesn’t. We’re less easily manipulated by the fashion industry into buying clothes that are unflattering, silly, or just plain stupid. We understand our bodies, what we want to show off and what we would prefer to keep between ourselves and our bathroom mirrors.
But there are some fashion statements that don’t work for anybody and that need to be taken out behind the barn and shot. How they originally came to be is simple. New trends are continuously streamed to the public, so stores can continue to sell clothes. (Who needs a new black skirt when the one you bought last year is still in style?) But why they remain prevalent is a mystery. Often, even the designers are baffled. They know a trend is universally horrible, but they assume it’ll sell out quickly and be replaced next season with another new must-have. Sometimes the designers are wrong.
Following is my list of Fashion Trends I’d Like to See Die in 2014:
1. Low-rise jeans on most women. Low-rise jeans introduced the concept of muffin top. When your waistband cuts straight across the middle of your belly (the trouble spot on millions of women worldwide), it’s going to squish the excess fat up and over the top. There’s just no where else for it to go. And every time you lean over, we all get to see the Great Crevice, often highlighted by your hot pink thong that has crept up your butt crack and now lies snuggled in the roll above your jeans.
2. Low-rider gang banger jeans on men. This is the longest-running male trend ever, and it’s hideous. This one continues to surprise me, since it was originally developed by convicted felons who used it as a prison mating call to show their availability to other inmates. Guys, you don’t look tough. You look like an idiot who needs to pull up his damn britches (and this means you, Mr. Bieber).
3. Crocs. Yep, I’m still seeing these. I recently saw a bright orange pair on a 50-something gentleman. With socks. Some things can’t be unseen. If you’re over the age of 4 (or a male, at any age), for the love of God, toss these.
4. Nail art. I’m sorry, but this is just tacky. While it can be cute on little girls who want flowers on their tiny pink nails, if you’re over 23 and you simply must have daisies painted on your nails to celebrate spring, put them on your toes.
5. French manicures. These are so over. They’ve been around for 30 years, and they’re tired. Even Tim Gunn remarked that once you’ve seen a trend take over every trailer park in town, it’s time to let it go.
6. Tights worn as pants. When leggings became hot, apparently people became confused about the difference between leggings and tights. Leggings are heavier and more opaque, providing the same coverage as pants, just skinnier. Tights are much sheerer, clearly showing the rest of us your cellulite, your underwear, and your lady bush. Huge difference. Huge.
7. Camo print. Especially in pink. If you want to look like a soldier, join the military. Even if you’re a shotgun toting, mud wrestling, female trucker with a gun rack, this is a tough look to pull off. And adding in a pink motif just makes you look confused.
8. High-low skirts and dresses. Above the knees in front, draping down to the floor in back. Fashionistas call this a “mullet skirt.” ‘Nuf said.
9. Any item sporting a logo from the Hello Kitty Collection on any woman old enough to called “Ma’am.”
10. Printed tights. Looney Tunes, skulls, food products, black and white checks, stripes, All guaranteed to make the average woman look shorter and wider. Unless you’re an anorexic gazelle, pass on these.
11. Uggs boots with shorts. It’s unclear who originally decided to pair sheepskin boots with shorts, but it looks stupid. Leave this one to the high schoolers. They’re young enough to look silly and still be cute.
12. Harem pants. Looking for an extra 10 pounds, stumpy legs, and a saggy butt? These are for you. The rest of you, run.
13. Cropped tops on women over 30. I don’t care how thin or fit you are. Too MILFY, and not enough class. And worn with low-rise jeans? I’m assuming your t-shirt says “Honk if You Think I’m Hot.”
14. Leg warmers. They’re back, unfortunately. Let’s just nip this one in the bud.
15. Cheap Faux leather. It looks like vinyl. And many women, inexplicably, like to wear this in one size smaller than they actually are, which unfortunately makes you look like an overpacked sausage, ready to burst at any moment.
16. Short-shorts (a la Daisy Duke), with the pockets visibly hanging out. Even if you’re young enough and thin enough to pull this off, why??
17. Peplums. A little flare of gathered fabric around the widest part of your body. These make supermodels look hippy. The female version of the fanny pack.
18. Wedged sneakers. The one pair of comfy shoes in my whole closet now has heels. Awesome.
19. Sweat pants as “real pants.” Unless you’re in college and your only concern is comfort, these are just wrong. Think Pajama Jeans, but baggier. With elastic waistbands and ankles. Bulky, shapeless, and unflattering. The trifecta of “What the hell was I thinking??”
20. Baseball caps on women. Especially bedazzled, be-logo’d, or bejeweled. Just, no.
Now, if you’re wailing “But I LOVE my camo pants!” remember, this is just one woman’s opinion. If you can rock the Hello Kitty faux leather jacket with matching nail decals, keep on going with your rebel self. I won’t say a word.
Tracie says
I agree with ever single thing on your list! They all need to go.
Vikki Claflin says
Thanks, Tracie! That’s where “Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should” came from! :)
Kathy Radigan says
Well since a lot of these trends are worn by my duagher (who is 12) I would say I have to agree with you. But heck if someone can pull of a Hello Kitty top with pink camo pants while sporting a bejeweled baseball cap past 30, more power to her! If she can do it past 50, she is a rock star! As always, a great post!
Vikki Claflin says
Thanks, Kathy! That’s why I’m always careful to say, “Just my opinion!” :)
Susan Williams says
If the world followed your rules, where would the fun be in going to a water park in the summer? Or in going to a minor league baseball game?
Watching the show put on by the crowd is half the fun!
Now, *I’m* not going to wear that tube top, or the arrow tattoo on my tummy with the arrow pointing down.
But if everyone followed my rules for *me*, it would certainly make my viewing experience a lot more boring.
Hey…if someone else looks bad…I stand out for having better taste! :D
Vikki Claflin says
Good point, Susan! People watching at WalMart wouldn’t be half as much fun! :)
Andrea B (@goodgirlgonered) says
Hilarious!!
But I’m a baseball cap fan and wearer. ;)
And Kathy made me giggle since my daughter is 7 and is cool w. some of these things. Like Crocs. G-d, they’re the best shoe for her. Although my husband has a pair and while I don’t like ’em I just look the other way. They DO make some really cute flip flops, though. Ehem – guilty.
Thanks for the morning giggle!
Vikki Claflin says
You’re welcome, Andrea! Yeah, it’s too bad that some of the comfiest things are so hideous! Life’s just not fair. :)
Parri (Her Royal Thighness) says
SPOT ON! How long are those low-rise bottoms going to stick around. They’re flattering on no one, but the look just won’t die! Great piece!
Vikki Claflin says
Thanks, Parri! I’m sure I’ll offend someone, but it was all in jest! :)
Carol Cassara says
I’m with you on almost everything. My Crocs are the most comfy shoes I own and I wear them in the privacy of my own home most of the time. French manicures are classic and never go out of style in my book, even though it’s been years since I’ve had one. All the others? sign me up for the petition!
Vikki Claflin says
Thanks for commenting, Carol! “A seat for every butt,” as my mother used to say. :) This is just fun to write!
Sharon Greenthal says
Agreed across the board. Especially the nail art. This needs to stop around the age of 12.
Vikki Claflin says
Thanks for stopping by, Sharon! I never did understand nail art, but then again, I’m old… :)
Kat says
Yes, yes, yes! Those “low-rise” pants used to be called “boy cut”. Why? Because they are made for male bodies!
My ex-husband wears crocs with sandles and, when I’m with him, I tell people that I’m not responsible for him anymore, lol
Vikki Claflin says
Too funny, Kat! Crocs are awful enough on women, but on men?? Just…No. :)
Jenn @ Something Clever 2.0 says
I am VERY guilty of nail art. I’ve actually painted Hello Kitty onto my nails before. But I’m right there with you on the rest!
Vikki Claflin says
Jenn, Hello Kitty nails?? OMG, that’s hilarious! Good for you! :)
Rena McDaniel-The Diary of an Alzheimer's Caregiver says
I was reading this while riding with my daughter on the way to baby’s 1st ultrasound. We are both cracking up! Sad thing is with the exception of a few I’ve probably tried alot of them!
Vikki Claflin says
Rena, I’ve tried most of them too! That’s how I know how awful they are! :)
Chris Carter says
So…. I am currently wearing my crocs all the time in my house every damn day because really? My feet can’t handle anything else on my hard wood floors- except real shoes, like GYM shoes- which is my other option. ;) Sweet stuff eh?
When I first started reading this- I honestly thought about HALF the things you had mentioned and hoped you WOULD be mentioning them! You nailed it, my dear!!!
Except the crocs. Come on now! As ridiculous as they are- and as pathetic as they look…they feel SOOOOO good on my sore old feet! AND? They really go nicely with my sweat pants.
Hey- at least I’m not sporting any hello kitty crap or bright pink thongs aren’t sticking out of my half-back jeans. ;)
Vikki Claflin says
Too funny, Chris! I agree, my pink thongs went by the way of a deceased childhood hamster. Buried somewhere no one will ever find them! :)
Karen says
Mullet skirts! Yes! I knew there was a valid reason to hate this style! Thank you….
Vikki Claflin says
Karen, it didn’t work as a hairstyle, and it doesn’t work as a hemline. Designers need to knock that stuff off! :)
b+ (Retire in Style Blog) says
THE FEAR OF FALLING COME TO MIND!
Joy Christi says
HILARIOUS! The harem pants are so FUNNY, though! Especially on Justin Beiber, I giggle like a school girl when he wears those!
The Ugg boots, I don’t get it. I don’t get a lot of trends, though. But I DO LOVE LOVE LOVE people who keep up with fashion! Seriously, thank you so much for filling resale shops and Goodwills with last years fashion, I scoop em up like crazy! :)
Vikki Claflin says
My pleasure, Christi! Leaves holes in my closet that I get to fill with new stuff (that Hubs says I’ll give away next year). Glad I could make you laugh! :)
lisa Froman says
So funny! I think you got them all! Except for those toe-tennis shoes! And the crocs thing….and un-seeing this? Hysterical. My boyfriend used to wear them when we first started dating four years ago. UGH! I finally convinced him to stop wearing them in public. So what did he do? He bought the toe tennis shoes. (Thankfully he has only worn them once–and not around me!)
Vikki Claflin says
Thanks, Lisa! Glad you liked it. (And we can’t always be responsible for how our other-half dresses! :)
cheryl says
Agree 100%! My crocs have been relagrated to my weeding attire for at least 6yrs. Have pretty much never owned or had any desire to purchase or try the rest except(isn’t there always an except or but?) the low rise rise jeans given to me by either my daughter or Alyssa.Which I wear with a top that almost goes to my knees!
Vikki Claflin says
Cheryl, I tried them once, but just couldn’t get past the muffin top. But I’m with you…Only with a really long shirt! :)
Divorced Kat says
I’m never parting with my favorite baseball hat! It’s a necessity for runs to the grocery store on Sunday afternoons. :)
Otherwise, YES, YES, and YES. Crocs? Nail art? Go away!!
Vikki Claflin says
Kat, yes, the baseball caps are going to be around forever, so you’re good! Crocs are struggling! :)
Vanessa D. says
Every time I see a pair of Uggs I think about how smelly furry slippers get. Uggs are forever in my mind just ugly smelly slippers.
Vikki Claflin says
Vanessa, That’s exactly what I think! Sheepskin lining, bare feet, hot day. That’s just GOT to smell! :)
Norine of Science of Parenthood says
I’m down with everything on the list ‘cept the French pedicure. I get French because it grows out gracefully without chipping, allowing me to go several months between pedi’s. ‘Cause I just don’t have time to sit in that chair every other week. So, I’m clinging to my French pedi for convenience sake. As for Hello Kitty peplum camo low-rise sweat pants — yeah, that shit’s gotta go. ;)
Vikki Claflin says
Norine, I’m having too much fun hearing about what people are still loving. Hello Kitty seems to be a front-runner for women of all ages. Who knew? :)
Jennifer Wagner says
I agree with them all, except possibly the baseball hat in summer, if sitting in the sun. And can I use a Hello Kitty phone cover?
Vikki Claflin says
Jennifer, if you like your HK phone cover, rock on, girl! :)
Mo at Mocadeaux says
Sweatpants also scream, “I have absolutely no self respect.” Mullet dress – love that term, hate the look. But my very favorite line in the entire post is your Tim Gunn quote. He is fabulous, flawless and the guy knows fashion!
Vikki Claflin says
Mo, do you remember nylon sweats? Those parachute-material sweatpants and matching jackets? Late 70s, early 80s, and forever gave sweatpants a bad name! :)
Axiesdad says
“Some people dress to kill; ****** dresses to wound.” This was said about a co-worker of mine years ago and I still apply it to some people I see today. Thanks for today’s chuckle.
Vikki Claflin says
Ooh, I love that quote! Glad I could make you smile!
KymberlyFunFit says
Soooo, no more strutting my one piece cat suit in public? Dang and mroww hiss. By the way, your Goodwill donations look a lot like mine. Please let me know when disco era wraparound skirts come back in
Vikki Claflin says
Kymberly, Too funny! You can strut in anything you dang well please! (Although hopefully yours fits better than mine did. :)
Stephanie says
Don’t forget to save all this stuff for Halloween costumes! Love this post… And belated congrats on Voices of the Year… Are you attending in July? I am!
Stephanie
Vikki Claflin says
Thanks, Stephanie! YES, I’m going to BlogHer14. Maybe we can find each other in the crowds! :)
Amy Gurley says
Were you talking about Mario Batali when you said “guy over 50 with orange crocs”? Cuz… that’s exactly who he is lol
Vikki Claflin says
Amy, no, but if the croc fits… :) Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
Angela Mckeown @Momopolize says
Legwarmers are back??? Woohoo!!!!!!!
;)
Vikki Claflin says
Angela, I know, it’s scary. They were kind of sexy the first time around (think Flashdance, not Jane Fonda), but now they just seem a little “trying too hard to be retro.” But if you like them, I can send you mine! :)
cate says
hi-lo fashions remind of that sweater that got wrapped around the agitator in the washing machine or the raime cotton with the arms that continued to grow longer through out the day
Vikki Claflin says
Bahahahaha, Cate! You’re absolutely right! Thanks for jumping in the Comments thread! :)
Carpool Goddess says
Shocked to see the crop-top make a come-back. It looks like you’re wearing your toddler’s t-shirt. Don’t. Just don’t.
Vikki Claflin says
I agree, Linda! No matter where you go, there’s some 50+ year old fitness buff who wants to show off her flat abs. Good for you, lady. Now cover that middle-aged skin back up! :)
b+ (Retire in Style Blog) says
I kept thinking “oops!” but then I remembered that I really don’t like a lot of those things. What do you LIKE that is good for 2014?
b+
Vikki Claflin says
Ooh, b+, I like so many things! To name just a few off the top of my head: I like off-the-shoulder sweaters, distressed jeans, rich nail colors (with short nails), classic men’s white shirts (with my distressed jeans), great ballet flats, Frye boots, biker-style jackets in any color except black, little black dresses that you can accessorize any way you please, winter white wool coats, and retro-style one-piece swimsuits, a la Marilyn Monroe! :) Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
The Shitastrophy says
Yes on all of the above! The peplum look is something I can simply not figure out. Who is buying this and why? Please stop immediately so that this fashion can end now!
Vikki Claflin says
Yep, a big ol’ ruffle right on your backside. Kind of like a bustle from the 1800s. Why?? :)
christine gowing says
I’m laughing so hard at ALL your points.
Great post! Very funny stuff and “we” actually wore cloths like that, some still do.
Vikki Claflin says
Thanks, Christine! Happy to see you on Laugh Lines, and glad I could make you laugh! (And yes, we all wore the clothes…) :)
Mandy Carroll says
Oh this is too good for words….
And I am proud to say..I done none of these….whew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Vikki Claflin says
Mandy, Glad you enjoyed it! I’ve done most of them. That’s how I know how awful they really are. :) Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
Kim says
Bwhahaha. I agree with most of this list. I like the nail art and I’m a baseball cap wearer (usually when out in the middle of the desert and needing protection from the sun). All about comfort! But please, keep it classy. LOL
And low-rise jeans…what the hell?! Yea, these need to die. Immediately.
Vikki Claflin says
Kim, that was what I was trying to say. Stay classy, ladies! :)
Terrye says
I’m fashion unconscious. Jeans and a t-shirt or knit top. done. :)
Vikki Claflin says
Terrye, I’m yoga pants, t-shirt, and no makeup any time we’re not on a date or I’m not at work. But I skip the pink thongs. :)
Becky says
I think I’ve found a way to beat low-rise jeans at their game, at least the part of the game where they would otherwise be giving a show-and-tell of the Great Divide: GLUE! The super-duper, Gorill-type body glue that’s meant to hold those hellacious thigh high support hose in place rather than rolling down to mid-thigh where they cut off circulation and leave you writhing in agony on your bedroom floor, frantically dialing someone, anyone on the phone to come help you pull those suckers off. Anyhoo, roll that stuff along the area you want your jeans to stay, let it get tacky and then “fasten” that waistband in place.
The bad part comes when you have to go to the bathroom and realize that lowering your jeans requires sacrificing at least a layer of skin.
Vikki Claflin says
Becky, OMG, Gorilla Glue?? Who knew? The visual I’m getting is hysterical! Thanks for stopping by! :)
Bohemian Babushka (@BBabushka) says
Tried wearing low riders… did permanent damage unconsciously trying to pull them up to my waist. BTW does the younger generation even know what part of their body is the waist?? Agreed w/ MOST of what you wrote, but still loving the way French Manicures look. Here from the Grand Social; BB2U.
Vikki Claflin says
BB, I’m getting lots of yays for the French Manicure. Apparently we’ll be seeing it for some time, and I’ll just have to suck it up. :) Thanks for stopping by my blog!
Michelle @ A Dish of Daily Life says
I think I’m good. Although I do like flowers on my toes when we go to the beach on vacation. I did have a pair of Crocs a couple years back that I loved…they were so comfy…but I did not wear them out and about…just around the house. Mostly I’m yoga pants or comfy jeans (meaning they have some stretch to them)…comfort all the way.
Vikki Claflin says
Michelle, You’re right. I actually kind of like the toe art thing, done selectively. But the all-ten fingers thing on a boomer-age woman is just a bit truck stop diner. Great to see you on Laugh Lines! :)
Deb @ Urban Moo Cow says
Oooh, you had me until baseball cap. But no bejewels, obvi! Crocs need to die a slow, plastic-y death.
Vikki Claflin says
You’re right, Deb. Baseball caps, yes. Bedazzled baseball caps? No. And those crocs are persistent little devils, aren’t they? :)
barb says
You make me laugh…..a lot. And yes I agree with you on all of the above but it’s JMO, just my opinion. Rubber shoes cannot be healthy at all and quite unattractive. Wear they while gardening maybe.
Vikki you are a delite!!
Vikki Claflin says
Thanks so much, Barb! Sweetest thing you can say to a humor writer…”You make me laugh.” :) (And I’m with you. Rubber shoes??”)
haralee says
I agree with all except the baseball hat. I do not have wash and wear hair. If it is raining and nasty and all I am doing to get out of the house all day is going to the post office, yes guilty the hat goes on! It is black and has my company logo and tag line on it so I am still working, does that count?
Vikki Claflin says
Okay, Haralee, I’ll give you that one! :) Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
lisa thomson-The Great Escape... says
Ha! I love this and couldn’t agree more with ALL of your list. Plumber bum, be gone. My muffin top just keeps rising, like I put too much yeast in the mix. So, must rid my wardrobe of any low rise jeans. Never did embrace the UGGS and now there is the cruelty factor. Thanks for this fun post.
Vikki Claflin says
Thanks, Lisa! Glad you enjoyed this, and happy to see you on Laugh Lines! :)
Linda Roy - elleroy was here says
Vikki, because I love you to bits, I’m not gonna hold it against you that you might not share my vision when I sport one of the 50 or so baseball caps I own, paired with my awesome camo cargo style army pants and a $5 Aeropostale hoodie. I wear army shoes with the whole shebang. That’s just how stylin’ and butch mock hunter chic I am. I’ll bet if I rocked the whole ensemble with a Hello Kitty french manicure, I’d be the talk of the town. But totally not in a good way. Yeah, I’ve looked in the mirror more than a few times and wondered where I parked the tractor trailer. Need to rethink the look completely. ;)
Vikki Claflin says
Linda, somehow I think hunter chic would work for you, so you just go rock it and don’t listen to me! MWAH! :)
mac says
I love by baseball cap and sweat pants for walking my dog first thing in the am before my shower and sometimes when digging in my back yard. What I would wear in my own homes differs greatly from what I would wear in public and subject others too. I would add Branded Clothing/purses/anything to the list, not just because I think it’s tacky but why would I pay for something that is/should be a promotional products. You want me to pay big $$$$ to have your name on it, no but I will take it free.
mac says
oops, there’s more….Vicki, you are a real gem, love your blog!
Vikki Claflin says
Thank you, Mac! And you’re right, branded clothing (so hot in the 80s) is simply free advertising for us to tell the world how amazing the person is whose name is on our butt. Sorry, but you’ll have to pay me first! :)
Bryan Jones says
As a bloke, some of these “fashion” statements are unfamiliar to me. I do, however, totally agree with you regarding the low-rider gang-banger jeans; they are hideous.
Vikki Claflin says
Bryan, I know! WHY are guys still wearing these??
Kelly L McKenzie says
Confession time – am currently sporting a pair of baggy sweats that have seen better days. However – am on day 3 of a horrid cold. Promise that I won’t wear them with my orange crocs. YES! I do own a pair. But let me explain. My mother bought me a pair a few years back when we were in England. She bought herself a pair (her luggage went missing, she wore my shoes that were too small and hurt her feet, hence her hasty purchase of orange crocs) and thought I might like them… While mine are reserved for gardening only she wore them in Paris. Oh Yes She Did.
Judy Freedman says
Vikki, such a fun post. Great summary. I just bought a pair of shorts for the first time since I turned 50. I’m only going to wear them at the beach!
Vikki Claflin says
Judy, so did I! I’m saving them for when the neighbors go on vacation and won’t see my 57-year-old thighs hanging out while I work in the garden! :)
The NotsoSuperMom says
Ok, while I agree with MOST of these, I can’t get rid of my crocs. They are comfy but MOST of all; ANTIMICROBIAL. Can’t say that about most flip flops and on my sweaty summer dogs, that’s irreplaceable.
Vikki Claflin says
I’ve always figured there must be something about those shoes that keeps people wearing them year after year. So what do I know? You go rock those Crocs! :)
Paula says
I love my crocs. And I just bought 2 new pairs. One pair is supposed to look like the very popular Sperry shoes that all the girls love. I love wearing my Crocs and embarrassing my granddaughter! You made me laugh. And today I needed it!!
Vikki Claflin says
Paula, if you like them, rock ’em! And we need to embarrass our downline once in a while, right? :)
Caryn/TheMidLifeGuru says
Great list!! Thankfully, I have stayed away from these “trends” as well. Those items are best left to tweens.
Vikki Claflin says
Hi Caryn! Yes, I’ve finally decided that if it looks better on my daughter-in-law than it looks on me, it’s hers. :) Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
Audrey Van Petegem says
oh my! You nailed it! But, damn! I still want to wear my uggs with shorts(that covers my woo hoo ;-) )!
Vikki Claflin says
Audrey, I still say if you are feeling it, you should rock it! What do I know? :) Thanks for commenting!
Judy Lee Dunn says
Haha. I have left most of these in my rear-view mirror. However, never heard of some of them (peplums?). So you have also increased my vocabulary today. (Love it when that happens!)
Vikki Claflin says
Judy, thanks for stopping by! Google “peplums,” and you’ll see what I mean. Yikes! :)
Chloe Jeffreys says
The nail thing is really baffling. It looks awful.
Peplums? Why do we have to have these? The only thing worse are jodhpurs. Yes, I’d like a pair of pants that make even the tallest, skinniest woman have saddlebags.
Crocs have always been wrong. I’ve never understood them.
And men!!! Please stop with these stupid pants. Nothing says “Here’s my butt crack” better than these stupid pants.
Vikki Claflin says
I know, Chloe! What IS it with the low-rider, gang banger jeans? If Justin Bieber can’t kill this trend, I’m afraid it’ll be with us forEVER. Sigh… :)
Sandy Ramsey says
This is so funny! I was walking around a water park the other day with my kids and I cannot tell you how many guys I saw with their bathing suits hanging halfway down their butts with their boxer briefs showing. They’re even doing it with their bathing suits now! I told my son I’d kick his butt all the way to Texas if he even thought about wearing his like that. I have to keep my baseball hats…..for those days I just can’t get the shower in. Baseball hats cover a multitude of sins :)
Vikki Claflin says
Sandy, with their bathing suits too?? What do they think we find so attractive about their butt cracks? :)
