Fashion Police

why wear shorts AND a corset when you can wear both at once!! GENIUS

Hey, Look at ME!

Fluorescent colors should be left to construction workers and hunters; the fact that you've decided it's a fashionable idea to throw some safety yellow on a baseball-cut tee tells me: 1. You have no respect for jock styles and 2. You just can't get enough of the constant construction around Ohio State. Oh, and the royal blue corduroy Capri's - just, no; you're awfully close with your color choices to our enemy up North ... You don't want to be a whore like Ann Arbor, do you? Amen.

Shades of Red

Shades of red, and none of 'em look good. First off, if you're going to go without a shirt in public, start from the beginning of the summer so that within a week it doesn't LOOK like you're wearing a baby's ass-white wife-beater when you're actually shirtless. Secondly, if you're going for the baller look and you want to match your athletic shorts with the ball cap you have on, make sure it actually freakin' matches. Seriously, nothing is worse than your PINK ball cap and red shorts.

Urkle Shorts

Well I've certainly heard of people wearing really low and cutoff shorts, ala "Daisy Dukes" and on the right person, aka Megan Fox, they look darn good. What I've never seen before though is these anti Daisy Duke style shorts that took all that extra material and added it back onto the top of the normal waistline. This just looks absurd, makes it look like you've got a very short torso. Unless you're a 70 year old man or a Steve Urkel wanna be, get the waistline BELOW the belly button.

  1. for the urkel chick, I see a lot of famous people wearing those... and they are fugly as f*&k.... sad thing is... she probably paid a fortune for them... what a rip off. I’ve heard of "mom jeans" but these are like...."mom that smokes crack and has been on welfare for the past 15 years" jeans.

  2. The only problem I have with the Urkel shorts is that they look really difficult to get off. Otherwise, rrrrowr!

  3. yeah, high-waisted shorts are actually a pretty good look on a lot of girls, and i just saw a versace ad in a few back issues of vogue in which one of the models was wearing an almost-identical pair.

    and as far as the "short-torso" comment, this girl actually seems to be dressing pretty smartly, bc if you look closely, you can tell that she actually has a very long torso. this look typifies dressing with one’s body shop in mind, as i’m sure that she was going for a torso-shortening look in mind.

    yet again, fashion police, get a fucking clue. you embarass yourself more than some of the people in the photos embarass themselves, which is (admittedly) hard to do.

  4. DJB, get a clue yourself, its not supposed to be serious fashion tips, rather its veiled insults in the guise of "fashion" meant for humor. Your the type of moron that is confused by the Daily Show or the Colbert Report as well arent you ?
