i'm going to complain now, for the sake of mankind



Things that need to be stopped dead in their tracks before they become the new gaucho pants.

1. Shaving half your head
You would think that most people would be inclined to avoid this, but ever since people started getting fashion inspiration from homeless people (thanks, Erin), you never know. So here goes—only Alice Dellal can do this. Her mother is a Brazilian model, and her father is a British millionaire. She’s been in Paris Vogue. People will love her despite the fact that she looks like an alien bounty hunter. Unless you fit that description, just say no, and give your boyfriend back his electric razor.
2. Pleated leather shorts
Leather is trendy. We get it. Buy a jacket. Do not buy a pair of overpriced shorts that will be unreasonably warm and sticky in “shorts weather”. The fashion industry is clearly mocking all us people who have thighs that measure more than 10 inches around. Carine Roitfeld and Karl Lagerfeld probably host parties to think of this kind of bull. What can we do to make the masses look like they have triangle-shaped elephant-skin legs? Front pleats!.... AND LEATHER. The same goes for pleated leather pants. And overalls.
3. People not wearing pants
I don’t mean people wearing leggings, I mean people literally not wearing pants. A leotard is only an outfit if you are in the Olympic games. There is a weird trend in editorials lately where the models are wearing no bottoms AT ALL. Should we just give up? Is the new recession-friendly trick to save money now wearing or buying pants anymore?

And although I fear this may be too late… don’t wear harem pants. You look like you’re wearing a diaper.

P.S.
I strongly dislike winter
44 mph winds, feels like -5
not encouraging me to walk to the gym.
