Some of you may know that this week is New York Fashion Week. Whether you are a guy or girl, this is something that affects you. We all have a little part of us that wants to look as fresh as possible. New York Fashion week kind of sets the tone for what will be hot in the upcoming season. So for my male readers in particular who claim they do not care about things like that.... hate to break it to you but you do .... indirectly.
For instance you did not magically choose to put that itchy wool button up cardigan on your way to the hot club. Nope you have fashion week to thank for that. See, Jean Paul Gauthier or Marc Jacobs had some skinny guy walking down the runway in a cardigan, Jigga in the audience saw it and wore a cardigan to his next photo shoot, and you saw him in Vibe and magically were "inspired" to put that Mister Rogeresque thick cardigan on as you went to a club, a place that's already hot as hell and subject yourself to heat stroke. Anyhow if you can check the style magazines in the following months (In Style for girls or GQ for guys) if you want to see what will be hot this Spring.
However, sometimes NY Fashion week brings trends that are so inconceivable and a hot mess in general. Two trends that I really would like to say a big sarcastic thank you to designers from the Fall 2008 week that we all will be subjected to:
1. Robin Hood Men in Tights: Grown Men with Skinny Jeans!!
Ok perhaps they are not tights. But they are TIGHT. No man should be wearing the same skinny jeans as their girlfriend. American Apparel a clothing outlet even has the nerve to have unisex versions. I should not be wearing the same jeans as my boo!! Now I appreciate a well tailored man and do not support pants falling off you behind to the point I can see your boxers but I need you not to step out gentleman looking like you shrank your clothes in the laundry.
2. Your Toes Must be Hot and the Rest of Your Foot is Cold: Peep-toe boots
These are inappropriate. Ladies please know that there are some classic things that stay around forever. However, these boots, like sleeveless turtlenecks are completely impractical and have no staying power. Whats the point of boots and my toes are cold? I personally am not trying to catch pneumonia through my feet. As someone interested in the public health I chose not to participate and urge you not to as well ladies!!
