I usually use this blog to talk about hot fashion trends. This entire Spring Series and the almost here Summer is full of them, and I’ve seen some beautiful things in stores that don’t have to cost you a fortune. Sunny shades of orange, wine and rust? Beautiful. Lavender touches everywhere from flowing skirts to handbags? Love it. Puffy, feminine sleeves and ruching in dresses and blouses? Just fine with me. Bucket hats? Hell yes, I have a few myself.
However, a big part of the feminine lifestyle is the chance to enjoy fashion. Dressing like a woman is a rush. And I’m all for giving something the finger if something is stupid and you’re sticking it to those that made the stupid rules. But there are trends this season that have me shaking my head, folks. Just because something is different doesn’t mean it makes sense. And if dumb fashion is taking over, we’re all doomed….those who feel they must wear it and those who have to see it!
Fashion Trends That Deserve A Kick In The Dick
A kick in the dick? Yep, I said it. What I’m referring to isn’t feminine or pretty. And don’t think I don’t love sexy, tailored menswear or borrowing things from my boyfriend’s closet. I do. But these fashion trends below are actually being marketed as feminine when they’re just stupid-silly. These are not cute en femme styles, not by a long shot.
Boiler suits — I often dressed like a tomboy growing up, and for a few years, I shunned dresses unless absolutely forced. But once you grow up, unless you’re painting, weeding in the yard or working on your car, is there a reason to deliberately wear a clunky serviceman’s suit for fashion? Buy a jumper! Buy a romper! These options are darling and feminine! But explain to me why anything resembling coveralls is cute. (Oh, and making the damn thing pink or adding a sash belt or heels doesn’t change my mind!)
She doesn’t even look happy. And why should she? Look what she’s wearing.
Shrunken bags — What the hell are we supposed to carry in a bag that would fit a teacup? In some cases, not even a teacup! Really? I guess it would be nice to imagine needing only a few things in a bag. But I need my phone, a compact mirror, gum, something to hold money and at least a few other things. Shrinking down designer bags….silly. You can hold a smaller bag and still be trendy. Get yourself something cute and realistic.
There’s no fucking way. Don’t let this be you.
I’ve saved the dumbest for last. God help me.
Bike shorts with blouses and blazers — One of the mind boggling trends coming off the runway into the streets, it looks like you had very few options on laundry day but still had to go out somewhere. Adding a feminine top half with a spandex-y bottom? Ridiculous and not cute. It’s like you lost a bet. Do you hate yourself? Don’t do this.
Something’s missing, Ma’am! You look ridiculous!
Wrapping Up
I love fashion but I can’t stand to see it dumbed down! Are there any trends you’ve seen that confuses the hell out of you? Let me know!
