What Not To Wear

I am by no means a fashion plate. In fact, I dress in the same “uniform” everyday as I head to work: Black flat-front trousers, a black button down shirt and black square-toed shoes. While my wardrobe is limited, there are a few items that that I can’t stand to see anyone wear.

Converse Chuck Taylor All-Star Sneakers


It really sucks when I see a hot guy and as I give him the once over, and I make it down to his shoe selection and see that he is wearing a pair of Converse sneakers.

They are the worst looking, fitting show in the world. People think they are being all cool and retro by wearing a sneaker from the early 1900’s – but they are seriously doing their feet a disservice by wearing them. These sneakers offer little support for the ankle and foot. And frankly they are like walking around bare foot.


Peg-Legged Pants

Pants are not meant to have tapered legs. This horrible fashion craze from the 1980’s is making its way back to the runway and stores. I much prefer a boot cut, that is fitted in the ass and thigh and flares out to a modest boot cut (not a crazy bellbottom – the 1970’s were not to pretty either).


Pleated Pants

While I am on pants, I must point out that pleated pants are also dreadful. If you are tall and thin, pleated pants are just not flattering and dangerous – if you get caught in a strong gust of wind, the air can get caught in the flaps and you could take off. And if you are fat, well do you really need all that extra fabric – enough said.
