10: Giant Beltbuckles

buckle
Buckles have no purpose other than for looks. And if you want to draw that much attention to your crotch…stop wearing pants.

9: White Guy Doo-Rags

doorag
White guys wear bandanas, that’s just how it works. You don’t wear turbans do ya? Stop biting other people’s styles.

8: Club Shirts

Vuitton
Designer T-shirts? It’s a t-shirt. If Louis Vuitton made flip-flops and ear-muffs would you be wearing those to the club?

7: High Socks w/ Shorts

Socks
Please tell me this is just an homage to your grandfather who made his fortune selling tube socks.

6: Sweater Vest

sweatervest
I can understand this if you were born with no arms because then there would be no need to keep just your torso warm.

5: Extra, extra long shirts

longshirts
The only plus to wearing extremely long shirts is if you crap your pants, you can either use the extra material for toilet paper or pretend you are making Man-Dresses fashionable.

4: Popped Collar

popped collar
Some animals in nature have a sign they can display to show other animals what they are feeling or what they want. This is the equivalent of an animal screaming at the top of their lungs, “I’m a DOUCHEBAG!”. I’m sure they used their entire student loan to pay for their polos.

3: The Sag

sag
The only thing I can think of that would be reasonable for sagging is if you had a bad case of anal leakage and didn’t want to ruin your new Levis.

2: One-legging It

one leg
It’s as bad as wearing only one strap on your overalls, and just as stupid.

1: The Guido

guido
Thank you for confirming the fact that you have disgusting chest hair. Because I’m sure that’s all anyone wanted to know.

    I have to say, that I could not agree with you in 100% regarding o.us poetry, but it’s just my opinion, which could be wrong :)

  2. King Tilly August 7th, 2007 at 7:54 pm

    Nice. I love the guido.

  3. Michael August 7th, 2007 at 10:14 pm

    I am amazed some people who go out dressed like these examples don’t realize how stupid they look.

  4. emily August 7th, 2007 at 11:16 pm

    hahaha. perfect. although, being a girl, i can think of quite a few more ;]

  5. teh_ownerer August 8th, 2007 at 12:53 am

    Don’t

    It will burn

    YOUR EYES

  7. Verlier August 8th, 2007 at 12:58 am

    Heeey!, I have chest hair, and it’s not disgusting, it’s kinda, hmmm fuzzy.

    :P

  8. jesse August 8th, 2007 at 8:50 am

    Good shit! The popped collar is so fucking annoying.

  9. mrtobo August 8th, 2007 at 11:06 am

    nobody looks stupid.
    nobody is stupid.

    and chest hair is awesome. i’ve got some, it’s gets me the ladies all the time.

    i love you! and you’re beautiful.

    hairily yours,
    mrtobo

  10. Jay August 8th, 2007 at 11:25 am

    All good ones except for the sweater vest; that’s a classic look that has been around for ages, and has NOTHING in common with the other 9 entries.

  11. Vic August 8th, 2007 at 12:01 pm

    I want one of those belt buckles…

    BTW, how the fuck are BDU’s (camo) coming into style? I earned mine with blood, sweat, and tears… why the fuck are anorexic, yuppie, coke-snorting barbie dolls wearing it?

  12. Hillary August 8th, 2007 at 4:30 pm

    How did Crocs not make this list? I hate those. >__

  13. Heather August 8th, 2007 at 5:57 pm

    Hahaha. The only one i disagree on is the long shirt. I have accouple..not quite as long as that guys tho. hehe. as a grl i think of MANY others lol. like a thong…butt floss lol

  14. Xored August 8th, 2007 at 7:50 pm

    No reason to to dislike the way people dress. You probably dress like a fag to some other people too :)

  15. John August 8th, 2007 at 7:53 pm

    Fuck this article. WHITE pirates have been rocking bandannas for centuries. Lets see you criticize pirate fashion after you’ve had your ass keelhauled.

  16. RSG August 8th, 2007 at 8:10 pm

    I’m glad I’m not alone… lol

  17. Scott August 8th, 2007 at 8:26 pm

    Good ones..but really, you call those shorts?

    They’re fucking knickers, not shorts for gods sakes. Who wants to wear that long crap on a hot summer day? So, like the bottom 2 inches of exposed leg stays cool and you look like a fricken douch on the beach in those.

  18. ccuser August 8th, 2007 at 8:30 pm

    The pants around the knees, the one leg thing and baseball caps on sideways is due to a mental disease caused by rap music and hip-hop. The stuff criminals and morons are made from.

  19. S August 8th, 2007 at 8:36 pm

    “why the fuck are anorexic, yuppie, coke-snorting barbie dolls wearing it?”

    Its so they can look tough and “cool” while they protest the war and hate on soldiers.
    That or so they can hide when the words coming from their mouth are challenged and they realize they only have popular opinion and no coherent thought to back the words.

    Maybe I just see too many ant-war wanna-be punk-rockers…
    It still cracks me up to hear someone in BDU’s spouting anti-war statements. Its even funnier when I question their statements and the most intelligible thought they have is “Bush Sucks” with no backing or conviction. If your going to dress in camo and compare Iraq and Bush to Nazi Germany please at least have some original thought with some intelligible coherent statements (and preferably some facts with sources).

    Don’t mean to turn this to political BS flame war, but its disheartening for someone who has a family background in the military to see punk kids in military dress spewing and regurgitating rubbish that they read from some website with no real understanding of what they are saying…

  20. Rex Lacoste August 8th, 2007 at 8:57 pm

    What is one supposed to wear with shorts and tennis shoes? Ankle socks? Yuck! Yeah, there’s nothing I want more than to spend my day feeling like my shoes are eating my socks with every step.

    I understand the no socks with sandals thing. That makes sense. But no socks with tennis shoes? Are you kidding? No way. I’d rather look like a dork.

  21. Chris August 8th, 2007 at 9:01 pm

    Half those styles were out by the late 90’s. I can’t remember the last time I saw someone sagging or “one legging” it.

  22. sephil August 8th, 2007 at 9:02 pm

    this Louis Vuiton t-shirt is cool! I need one!
    And just to let you know that Louis Vuitton already made flip ear-muffs… ;P

    That’s hilarious, the Guido is usually done by men in their late 30s, with slicked back hair

  24. Andrew August 8th, 2007 at 9:12 pm

    Don’t forget those disgusting pornstar glasses that women wear. Ugly as fuck.

  25. Andrew August 8th, 2007 at 9:13 pm

    Wow, nice list. I agree totally with the list. Some of those are just awful.

    Although if I made that NES controller a belt buckle, might have to wear that.

    A+ list.

  26. O.G. August 8th, 2007 at 9:14 pm

    The “one-legging it” evolved from gangster culture. Putting more emphasis on one side of your body (hat to one side, etc.) shows where your alliances lie (people or folks)

  27. Will August 8th, 2007 at 9:15 pm

    You forgot the tongue ring. That’s a new look that a bunch of idiots are sporting. Nothing screams “I’m a f-ing douchebag idiot that won’t amount to anything” like a tongue ring.

  28. JVR August 8th, 2007 at 9:43 pm

    YUCK

  29. Kara August 8th, 2007 at 9:51 pm

    The “guido” is unbelievably sexy; althought it does have an age and weight limit. What should be in it’s place is greased hairless chest.

  30. Rodrigo August 8th, 2007 at 9:54 pm

    Style has its basis on function at some point in history. Two things on the list above I do understand. 1) Popped collars- keep the sun off your whiteass necks while golfing 2) One-legging it- have you ever ridden a bike, douchebag? Its not just a ghetto thing. Cyclists often “one-leg it”

  31. Jon August 8th, 2007 at 9:56 pm

    1) Everyone - from preppie kids, to soccer moms - had popped collars back in the ’80s. But these days, if I see a popped collar, I instictively avoid that person. Never gave it much thought until now… they ARE all douchebags, aren’t they? When did this happen?

    2) I used to know bicyclists who would roll up the right pant cuff to protect it from the greasy bike chain. But these days, the only one-leggers I see are suspicious looking kids loitering on street corners. Apparently, some drug dealers use one pant leg rolled up as an open-for-business sign.

    3) “The sag” was once a stereotypical bum outfit. That is, if your only pair of pants is 4 sizes too small, you ain’t gonna get them past your ass. Now, [ghetto=cool] –> [sag=popular]

    4) Belt Buckles… I blame WWF. Its a sad sign of cultural collapse that I even know what those initials mean.

    ROFLMFAO!!!!

  33. shydiva August 8th, 2007 at 10:03 pm

    Will,

    Thank you so much for that. I’ve been trying to find the right words to describe my feelings towards tongue rings. I am going to quote you.

    ~sorry to leave original thread so much~

  34. Haha August 8th, 2007 at 10:12 pm

    haha, a bunch of nerds dissing style! to cute! XD

  35. sum guy August 8th, 2007 at 10:27 pm

    first off, all of these styles are dated. none of this is cool anymore. most of it never was.

    white guy doo-rags, sagging, one-legging, long shirts, long shorts are all black culture. you can thank eminem and mtv for white guys sporting it too. hip-hop/rap is not cool anymore. black culture prides itself on being fashionable and up to date, yet they have been doing the same thing for 20 years now? it’s like white guys who still have a mullet and have no idea that it is a dated and funny joke.

    high socks with shorts is a skater thing. people always steal skater culture.

    as far as designer shirts, i cant see paying more than $20 for a t-shirt, but not all of us can afford anything else made by a designer.

    camo is no more a reference to anything military than it is a reference to hunting. it’s just another color option. people who wear it as a fashion, probably have no thought that it could even be viewed as a reference to either, nor should it be.

    sweater vests is part of the cool to be a geek thing. that was short lived and ended a couple of years ago.

    popped collars and polo/izod shirts are lame jock and prep culture. they are not and have never been cool, up to date or fashionable.

    chest hair is 70’s. like 70’s boobs. that guy in the pic is missing his gold chain with the mercedes symbol. those guys are not going anywhere soon. it’s like the comb-over or socks with sandals. they will never get it.

    i kind of dig the belt buckles, but not ridiculous ones that would actually get in the way of everyday life. of course that whole thing is not cool or new anymore either. kind of similar to the big gold or silver chains of the 90’s. sometimes it can work, but only if it doesn’t stand out too much.

    ripped, stone-washed jeans of the 80’s are definitely back in style. so are bell-bottoms, now they call them low-rise, boot-cut. tight clothes and small t-shirts are cool. no more big and baggy clothes. leather jackets and punk style is cool again. mohawks and pink hair are cool, but they are already on their way out again. skaters are always cool. techno and the associated uniform is definitely NOT cool anymore, at all. neither is rap and the associated uniform. rock and roll is cool again, along with guitars and long hair. hippies have never been cool, but dreadlocks are always cool.

    the best advice is, be yourself, don’t worry about trends, and you will always be cool.

  36. biru August 8th, 2007 at 10:27 pm

    ‘The sag’ comes from prison culture. They don’t let you have a belt in prison, so your pants hang down around your ass.

    And yes, ‘one legging it’ is from bike messenger culture. It’s to prevent your pants from being caught or dirtied by the chain.

  37. bear chow August 8th, 2007 at 10:37 pm

    That’s it … you just don’t get it, if you think that chest hair is disgusting, and lotsa people think that is sexy … it is a matter of taste, get over it, I am sure someone would think your choices of clothing is unacceptable, making insulting comments about others’ choices just reflects your intolerance …

    Collars up are unacceptable!

    Newer fashion problems include wearing bluetooth headsets in nice restaurants, carrying around 4 cellphones and PDA’s on your belt, etc……lets nip that in the bud right now.

    Cheers!!

    another one to add is this thing thats going around the uk at the moment.

    tight skinny jeans with 80’s flouro oakley sunglasses.
    it seem to be well popular with the intelligent pop/rock crowd.

    yuck. i just dont think i’m cool enough to wear that sorta stuff.

  42. manny August 8th, 2007 at 11:46 pm

    i sport the south-side guido look: hairy balls.

  43. MrGrackle August 8th, 2007 at 11:48 pm

    Yes mine comrade.

    Ich will always where notting but zee khakis und zee dockers.

    I have one leg up a lot because I …. ride … a … BICYCLE! Weeeeee…. and if I walk into some place for a short time I’m not going to unroll it just to roll it back up when I jump back on my bike. I could care less what people like you think.

    Happyness is a journey, not a destination.

  44. dsfjh August 9th, 2007 at 12:24 am

    I know this wont get published but Im sure you will see this. I agree with the list you have up but there a bunch of much worse crap that get pawn’d off as high fashion but the thing is you folks are a bunch of dorks/geeks. What made you think you had enough knowledge to talk about fashion? Bunh of losers!!!

  45. Lindsay August 9th, 2007 at 12:54 am

    A lot of times, the one leg thing comes from people riding bikes… it’s so the pant doesn’t get caught in the spokes; however, this does not look like the case.

  46. luke August 9th, 2007 at 1:01 am

    i one-leg it all the time.

    i have holes in my one pair of pants that resemble the cogs on my bike and i have no desire to have more pants like this. i get the feeling that bikers have been doing this much longer than any other group that may have made this into a fashion trend.

  47. Karl August 9th, 2007 at 1:07 am

    Well done! I’m so tired of seeing my 7th grade students (of all races) trying to do the “I’m a hard-ass - saggy pants” schtick. Next time I’ll have to use the anal leakage line on them.

    BTW, anyone want an ugly sweater vest? Only been sitting in the back of the closet for two years….

  48. complexity August 9th, 2007 at 1:20 am

    I love his chest hair and I’m gay

  49. What? August 9th, 2007 at 1:56 am

    “I can understand this if you were born with no arms because then there would be no need to keep just your torso warm.”

    That statement doesn’t even make sense.

  50. ZEN August 9th, 2007 at 2:42 am

    THe chest always feels the cold more than the arms. keeping the chest warm also helps against catching a cold.

  51. ndv August 9th, 2007 at 3:07 am

  53. lukewarm August 9th, 2007 at 4:57 am

    What is with the new “where your tight white underwear over your jeans” combined with “pull long sock over the jeans” look? What is that?

  54. Raymond August 9th, 2007 at 5:25 am

    Underwear outside of jeans + socks tucked over jeans.

  55. josie the pussycat August 9th, 2007 at 5:45 am

    That hideous turned-up collar trend from the 80’s isn’t ACTUALLY coming back, is it? OMG. Please tell me it’s not.

    I think my day has just been ruined.

    100% agree with all of these–and plenty more I could think of.

  56. 10668844 August 9th, 2007 at 6:21 am

    The collar up is my least favorite, it’s the attitude that goes along with it.

    Actually, the attitude that goes with almost all of them is too much to take.

  57. dp August 9th, 2007 at 6:36 am

    To the sad sack conservative who came down on the ‘millions’ of people wearing both camo and ‘anti-war’ signage, where are you at? 1969?
    Only a Bush supporter could figure out a way to tie war and soldiers to fashion. I got news for ya, bud.
    Camo was around LONG before your precious killing machine. It doesn’t represent killing and slaughtering innocents, it represents blending into nature. Do your homework! I wear camo all the time and I make fun of the war daily. It’s my way of seeming complex. It works!
    Do you?

  58. mike August 9th, 2007 at 6:49 am

    the high socks thing comes from skateboarding. if you’re going to wear shorts, its a good idea to wear high socks to prevent your shins from getting bashed in.

  59. Kevin August 9th, 2007 at 7:01 am

    Dude you only hit like 2 or 3 styles in here that AREN’T from 1999. You’re missing some good ridiculous styles, and including some that are just non-existent.

  60. Kyriakos August 9th, 2007 at 7:15 am

    There is nothing bad at it. Look at it on the bright side. Low status, insecure males trying to get attention for their pathetic life. Consider it that these pure boys are dick-less. They use clothing as a dick extension.

  61. Dave August 9th, 2007 at 7:15 am

    Wearing a bandanna is not “biting other people’s style” unless those other people are 17th century sailors and pirates.

  62. JW August 9th, 2007 at 7:22 am

    The sweater vest is actually a pretty good look. But the rest of them are a cry for attention.

  63. Mike August 9th, 2007 at 7:44 am

    You forgot girl pants, why do emo guys wear girl pants?

  64. Sven August 9th, 2007 at 7:49 am

    I don’t get why you even care. You have much too much free time.

  65. me August 9th, 2007 at 8:06 am

    The one-leg thing pisses me off. As a bicycler I roll up the leg when riding (to keep it out of the chain) and sometimes forget to put it down. It was never a big deal, but now that its some sort of fashion crap, people always comment on how bad my fashion sense is to be following the ‘kids’ trends.

  66. Tarq August 9th, 2007 at 8:16 am

    Where the heck are those “Ugg” boots or however you spell it. Hundreds of dollars for the most hideous footwear ever?

  67. bob August 9th, 2007 at 8:26 am

    UGG BOOTS..definitely should have made the list…whats the point

  68. Me August 9th, 2007 at 8:32 am

    The “sag” probably does more damage to white and black relations than anything else I can imagine. I don’t dislike you because of your skin color - you look like a retarded kid who accidently wore their obese father’s pants today. Then you walk around with your hand on your crotch holding them up and think you’re tough.

  69. alex August 9th, 2007 at 8:32 am

    i cant stand the popped collar, honestly would rather put up with the sagging pants than the popped collar.

  70. Andrew August 9th, 2007 at 9:08 am

    Awesome! I agree with all of them except the sweater vest. Those exist because some people don’t like zipping up their jackets, so they need the extra warmth where the opening of the jacket would be. It’s kind of a style thing, and sometimes it’s just a comfort thing, I don’t like zipping up my jacket most of the time either.

    Either way, hilarious.

  71. Andrew August 9th, 2007 at 9:12 am

    These were funny, although all the styles have some significance, such as the high socks, people take them out of context and don’t wear them when they are skateboarding for instance.

    The low pants are stupid as hell.

    The only one I don’t agree with are sweater vests. People need to only keep their torso warm when they keep their jacket open in the winter. I don’t like closing my jacket, I don’t wear sweater vests, but it probably would be a good idea to have one.

    Also fashionistas turned it into a fashion thing, sometimes wearing the sweater vest in the summer to add dynamics to their outfit, without sweating too much.

    Either way, funny stuff.

  72. john August 9th, 2007 at 9:16 am

    did anyone notice that in the sagging picture the guy has what looks to be a crowbar coming out of his back pocket?

  73. chase August 9th, 2007 at 9:55 am

    i think its sad people actually care about name brands , my ass never buy clothes for myself i only get them on holidays from distant relatives and hit up the wal marts and the good wills , and im fine , no one judges me , and i live in az and im the kind of person who hates the scottsdale richie rich pos crowd , those people are fake and empty inside , its better to stay away from the type of people who need expensive clothes , they r usually selfish mean people anyways , stick with the bargin bin and get some close friends who dont give two shits about whos brand name you have on your clothing or accessories , late

  74. joekool August 9th, 2007 at 10:01 am

  75. Ad August 9th, 2007 at 10:06 am

    #4 Popped collar. THANK YOU! I want to freakin tell these people every time I see them: “DUDE! I’ve seen that look since 2003, and it corny back then too!”

  76. passing by August 9th, 2007 at 11:19 am

    That’s completely non-sense.
    Your arguments are damn poor to criticize things that you obviously don’t understand. Such as creativity, originality, fashion and style.

    Or is it simply a matter of taste, i’m not defending any of the clothing styles you put on your top ten, nor any other, since i don’t wear any of those.

    But i think that the answer to your problem is, “be open-minded”.

  77. Laura August 9th, 2007 at 11:43 am

    Brilliant! Though I think you mixed up the words a bit in your sweater vest piece. You should write a part 2, there are too many terrible fashion choices in this world for only one column.

    i sag my pants, but not as much as that guy and i try not to show my underwear.

  80. Kelsey August 9th, 2007 at 11:51 am

    While I don’t personally like most of these styles, (A few can be excused on occasion.) I think the way you dress is an expression of who you are. Yeah, the people who dress like this copied the styles, but that’s all any fashion is. And how can people ant to go outside dressed how they want, if people like you just tear them apart? Criticizing people for the way they dress is stupid. Everyone should be allowed to be who they are without you idiots putting them down. Even if you think who they are is a poser because they copied someone else.

  81. Jeff August 9th, 2007 at 12:56 pm

    Popped collars since 2003?!?! Obviously you’re about 14. Try 1983! And it looked just as dumb then as it does now.

  82. ender August 9th, 2007 at 1:09 pm

    You forgot the one where guys are wearing girls pants. I can’t tell you how many times we’ve been in a mall and seen some guy wearing a pair of pants that 1. are obviously way to small for him and 2. were purchased in the women’s section. I have even had my girlfriend tell me that she has those same exact pants at home.

  83. tym August 9th, 2007 at 3:06 pm

    Dude. You forgot the horrible guido hairstyle that the Gotti kids made popular. And now if you watch supermegaasweetttitssixteen on Empty-Vee, then you’ll see a whole plethora of the fuckers with that awful hair.
    The only trend that really matters is that PBR is back and it’s on tap everywhere. wow, way to get off topic.

  84. sam August 9th, 2007 at 3:27 pm

    Seriously, who are YOU to talk about style, fashion, or anything related? Post a bunch of pics of yourself and let’s all critique your silly a$$ wardrobe. Everyone wears clothes that look stupid to some people, no matter who you are. It’s an expression of self, like a myspace page or a car. People choose designs, styles, etc. because that is what makes them comfortable or confident or happy or have a chance at getting laid. Your comments show your ignorance, as well as some deeply rooted insecurities you have with people different than you.

    To some, popped collars, sweater vests, or doo-rags look ridiculous. But the people who wear these items know this when they get dressed, only they DO NOT give a s–t about what YOU think. Their friends, girlfriends, coworkers, or maybe just themselves–whoever it is they are dressing for–likely approve of these styles and probably think that YOU look like a CLOWN. That’s the way the world works, but I guess you have yet to understand this, and until that time I will never read this blog again you narrow-minded elitist.

    As for you army men upset that others are wearing the camo but not a part of GW’s loyal flock, I can only laugh at your ignorance. You sound ridiculous. My father is a nam vet with a purple heart and hates george bush with a passion, and (actually, especially) this outrageous war. I respect you for volunteering to fight in a war only you soldiers and some rednecks agree with, but I do not respect the president, his policies, or his stupid war. And strangely enough, well over half of the country agrees with me, but even though we live in a government supposedly based on popular opinion, it makes no difference. I will from now on refrain also from wearing board shorts to the beach, as I do not surf, baseball caps on my head, as I do not play the sport, will certainly not buzz my hair any longer, as, once again, I do not support the war.

    Deep Breath.

    ps. I’m sure you will not post the above comment on your message board, but either way, It’s mostly for you, the author to read and maybe take a slightly more open approach. I am sick of snobbish bloggers acting high and mighty. Feel free to email me to discuss this further.

    To all of you baggin’ on this guy for his comments on style. Ever hear of freedom of speech? He has the constitutional right to say whatever he wants about style. That is HIS opinion.

    Don’t go rippin’ him a new a$$ because you don’t agree and that his style probably sucks. Maybe YOUR style sucks, have you ever thought of that?

    Maybe you are just pissed because you didn’t think of this first. hmm? Or maybe he listed YOUR style and that has angered you. Could we have a winner here?

    I personally found the post funny. Those styles do suck (IN MY OPINION) and I never did understand some of them either. More power to the person brave enough to wear them.

    Layoff the guy already!

    As a white person who has had track braids before, I should tell you tha tthe do-rag is to keep your braids tight in your hair. Now is the person wearing the do-rag just wearing it for style (then that is dumb), otherwise step off of do-rags

  94. The Truth August 10th, 2007 at 9:05 pm

    anybody who defends any of these styles needs to realize THEY LOOK LIKE AN IDIOT! really, you do. no kidding. everybody else is laughing . . . AT you . . . seriously . . . get a clue, or a mirror, or a new wardrobe. just because you don’t think your stupid, doesn’t mean you aren’t. you are just not smart enough to realize it.

  95. S August 11th, 2007 at 6:28 pm

    @P
    The Sag is where the pants are barely staying up, usually around the lower butt region. It usually shows off the underwear of the person performing the sag. Its great fun watching someone attempt to run with the sag as it is alomost garanteed that the pants will fall to their ankles and they will fall. Have another Pic.

    Wow, this post and it’s comments are an homage to bad grammar and broken English everywhere…

    I mean, look at the way he worded the part about sweater vests:
    “I can understand this if you were born with no arms because then there would be no need to keep just your torso warm.”

    Come on people, take an extra 10 seconds to make sure that what you type actually makes sense… damn!

  99. gary August 14th, 2007 at 5:22 am

    other day at work older guy in his 70s was FASHION FOUL wearing a pink polo shirt further FOULED with a popped collar

    WTF was he thinking?!?!?!?!?

  100. nicole August 14th, 2007 at 7:44 am

    I have a tongue ring. I like it. I also have my nose done, very tiny rock…and my ears. I must be the biggest douchebag in the world. And my third year majoring in criminal law…I wont amount to anything. geez what a horrible life i lead.

    as for the sagging, when I was a freshman in high school this guy was running down the hall and his pants just dropped in front of everyone. So funny.

  101. Frank August 14th, 2007 at 6:16 pm

    The one pant leg rolled up doesn’t mean that the
    “sketchy kid” is a dealer who is open for business. Its actually an old trend started in the ’90s by gang members in cali and means that they’re carrying a gun or “packing heat” as it was described to me.

  102. Krystal August 14th, 2007 at 8:43 pm

    Seriously, who are YOU to talk about style, fashion, or anything related? Post a bunch of pics of yourself and let’s all critique your silly a$$ wardrobe. Everyone wears clothes that look stupid to some people, no matter who you are. It’s an expression of self, like a myspace page or a car. People choose designs, styles, etc. because that is what makes them comfortable or confident or happy or have a chance at getting laid. Your comments show your ignorance, as well as some deeply rooted insecurities you have with people different than you.

    To some, popped collars, sweater vests, or doo-rags look ridiculous. But the people who wear these items know this when they get dressed, only they DO NOT give a s–t about what YOU think. Their friends, girlfriends, coworkers, or maybe just themselves–whoever it is they are dressing for–likely approve of these styles and probably think that YOU look like a CLOWN. That’s the way the world works, but I guess you have yet to understand this, and until that time I will never read this blog again you narrow-minded elitist.

    As for you army men upset that others are wearing the camo but not a part of GW’s loyal flock, I can only laugh at your ignorance. You sound ridiculous. My father is a nam vet with a purple heart and hates george bush with a passion, and (actually, especially) this outrageous war. I respect you for volunteering to fight in a war only you soldiers and some rednecks agree with, but I do not respect the president, his policies, or his stupid war.

    All I have to add is Amen. Which is weird, I’m an athiest…

    the sag does come from prison but just to make rape easier. one legging it was to show off scars from bullets. belt buckles are awards from rodeos(you might be a redneck). if kids were aware of the real way these fashions come about then maybe they wouldn’t wear their cloths like they do.

  105. Dave August 17th, 2007 at 8:42 pm

    The sag is from Prison. (showing your undies and butt by wearing your pants low in the back)
    It’s tells other inmates your homosexual and your available.
    Former G. Man and Watergate convict G. Gordon Liddy explained this on his radio show and in his books.

    Personally, I get a kick when a crook wears sag and get caught by the cops on TV when they try to run away and their pants falls around their ankles and they trip up and face plant the pavement.

  106. jason August 18th, 2007 at 12:13 pm

    some great styles

  107. DangermouseDavs August 20th, 2007 at 1:44 am

    Hear, hear! And I thought I was one of the only people who thought all of these trends were freaking ridiculous.

    I’ll have to go ahead and admit that I kinda like sweater vests and long socks with shorts (mostly because everyone in my class loves my collection of striped socks), but that’s just my personal opinion.

    I absolutely abhor the popped collar and the “sag.” That’s all that need be said there. And until today, I actually didn’t know that the “one-legged” thing came from bicyclists not wanting to get their pantlegs messed up or dirty. I learned something today, well done me!

    Also, there’re are a good number of other fashion faux pas that have been floating around, such as girls wearing their belts ON TOP of their shirts. What good does it do you there, other than scream, “I CAN DRESS MYSELF NOW!” Agreed with the whole “grasshopper sunglasses” trend being lame, I think they look ridiculous. Finally, one of my least favorite current trends is “gangstas” in all their glory keeping the sale and brand stickers on their caps and throwing the hat away when they come off.

    Seriously? They come off because they’re SUPPOSED TO.

  108. Unimpressed August 20th, 2007 at 11:53 pm

    Okay, who ever is saying that this stuff is out of style now, really needs to get out. I swear to god I can’t turn a corner without seeing at least one of these things. Especially sagging.

    Great list by the way.

  109. Bilal August 22nd, 2007 at 1:59 pm

    OK I can understand everything except the sweater vest I mean come on that’s like a classic you can’t say it doesn’t look good.
    Oh yes you forgot the over sized baseball/ basketball hat with the size label still on it, basketball shoes as a casual shoe, girls with beads bigger than there brain, wearing tights for no reason, oh lets not forget girls with designer glasses with the designers name in fake gold encrusted with fake diamonds that are sold for 600 dollars that people for no reason.

    Like wearing a baseball cap backwards. That looks cute until you’re about 6 or 7. After that, it looks like you’re too stupid to know which way your cap belongs. Come to think of it, that’s pretty accurate.

  112. Sophie August 26th, 2007 at 7:24 am

    There’s one “style” worse than polos with popped collars and that’s buttoned up button-down collar shirts worn over polos with popped collars, both preppy looks, or they were at one time. And those long shorts with the tube socks: The shorts are not knickers, but clam diggers. Knickers are snugged just below the knee.

  121. Shaan May 18th, 2008 at 12:19 am

    I really liked the Sag post. In fct,whats the logic for tht? If u want to b stupid then,there are many different ways too.
