What Not to Wear

 
  While the focus of yesterday's post was this season's hottest trends today's topic is what not to wear any season of the year!  As always, I draw my inspiration from the people I come across on the streets of NYC and on various forms of public transportation and no male or female is spared from my critiques. 

1. Sandals with socks- this look is not acceptable for either sex, unless your house is on fire and you need to make a run for it!

2. Leaving the hem of your skirt or coat enact.  The stitches are meant to be snipped loose people- that's the whole point of the hem!

3. Tights (or heaven forbid socks!) with peep toe shoes

4. Hello kitty anything unless you're younger than 10 yrs old

5. Scrunchies in your hair, pigtails and horrible Kool-Aid dye jobs

6.  The layered and 10 sizes too big look. Olsen-chic is never in style, unless you want people to mistake you for a homeless person for the spare change and free hand outs.

7.  Hats with pompoms, poodle skirts or shirts with Disney characters on them, unless it's Halloween.

8. Clogs, Crocs, or UGGS...it's no coincidence they're called Uggs people, obviously it's just short for U.G.L.Y

9. Wide elastic belts worn with fitted tops and dresses.  Many women mistakenly believe these belts cinch their waistlines, but unless you've been blessed with an itty bitty waist they only make your muffin top puffier.

10. Animal print overload- I may be able to tolerate a leopard print top or pair of leopard shoes, but most women don't understand the concept of wearing animal prints in moderation.  As a result, they wind up looking like a real life feline covered from head to toe with a leopard top, pants, shoes, and bag.  They might as well cover their faces in war paint and head for the jungle.

11. T-shirts and accessories with crude humor- I mean you, Mr. 65yr old man, wearing the white and black hat that said "Sex Drive" on it.  This is just immature and tasteless.

12. Men with skinny jeans tucked into their boots.  The subject of my criticism remains nameless, but only because he was carrying the same Louis Vuitton speedy purse as me in the classic Damier checkered print.  You know you have good taste when a gay guy approves.

13. Imitation designer monogram bags- you're not fooling anyone by carrying one of these, you're just making yourself look cheap!

14. Bedazzled denim- unless you're a teenage girl trying out her bedazzler for the first time, it's time for you to give up this teeny bopper look.
