Fashion Trends
Lately I’ve noticed some fashion trends that are, disturbing.
Last week, I actually saw a man with a mullett hair-cut walking along Kingston Road in Scarborough. Didn’t this go out of style with Billy Ray Cyrus? I am no officially embarassed to be living in Scarborough.
Last summer I blogged about women who shouldn’t be wearing tiny t-shirts. Like dandelions in Toronto, this fashion trend seems to be getting out of hand.
I’m happy for all of you ladies that are proud of your bodies but do we really need to see you wearing your daughter’s t-shirts? Do we really need to see your Molson muscle (gut) hanging out of your shorts? Don’t get me wrong. A lot of women can pull of this look but far too many should be putting on another layer before they leave the house. Either that or hit the treadmill for a couple of weeks.
The other fashion trend that has been getting on my nerves lately is the baseball cap with the sunglasses on top. It’s almost like a uniform for some guys. You never see them wearing the sunglasses, they just sit on top of their caps.
I know I’m going to receive some negative feedback for the tiny t-shirt comments. Bring it on! What fashion trends get on your nerves?

Ah, the mullet. While the rest of the world has enjoyed somewhat of a respite from this wonderful ‘do, you must remember that we live in Hockeytown, and the mullet is as much a way of life as it is a hairstyle. In Toronto, it never dies, it just disappears under TML caps for the winter.
The shades above cap thing started with David Duvall, I think. Probably has to do with sponsorship money (why can’t I say that phrase without cringing anymore?): even if he’s not wearing them, they have to be in view, or Oakley (or whoever) won’t pay him. I noticed Justin Leonard yesterday, wearing his shades backwards and upside down on his cap. Think that’ll catch on?
Regarding the tiny tees, I have reached the point where, if I find it attractive, I feel guilty for looking because she’s probably young enough to be my daughter. If I don’t find it attractive, I feel bad about looking because, you know, [Phoebe]ew![/Phoebe]

Hmmm. Shades on backwards and upside down on his cap. That could catch on.
I think the ultimate look would be a guy with a wicked mullet, Toronto Maple Leafs cap with upside down shades on top, and wearing a tiny tee, gut spilling out the sides and front.
I’m going to try and get a photo of such an individual. Maybe this will be my photo quest for the summer. Stay tuned.

In line with the tiny t-shirts, which I agree wholeheartedly with.
There’s a trend for women to wear low-cut pants/jeans with a tight belt along with a short t-shirt. That way, their silouhette from behind looks like, well, somewhat of a “snowman”: Round butt, cut off with a belt, a big sideways-looking overhang sitting in the middle, and up top a teeny shirt. Ew.
These women should wear clothes that fit, have a higher waist, and shirts that come down to the waistline. That’d be nice.
