Fashion gaffs 2008 (and most of the aughts)

15. October 2008 by Jenn.

To all the men (boys may be forgiven) who wear basketball shorts: If you don’t play for the NBA or the NCAA, or you’re not, at least, in a pick-up game, give up the shorts. They look dumb. They’re not flattering. Especially if you’re short. Lots of things comfortable are not wearable. You don’t come off like a super sports-lovin’ hipster in them. Dumb. Clumsy. Not hip. Unsexy. You’re a grown man.

To all the women who wear racer-back tanks with bra straps shown running down your shoulder blades: Please consider purchasing a racer-back bra, or one of the many styles that include a hook for turning your bra straps into racer-back. Backs are sexy. Shoulder blades are sexy.  And as my grandmother said, “The back is as important as the front.” Or, “Going is as important as arriving.” Something like that.
