The Worst Fashion Trends of 2008

January 2nd 2009 08:02

The bowling shirt with flames on it - ridiculed this year in "Drillbit Taylor", it's been a long-standing item in the closet of young men with no taste.

Sure, someone gave me a shirt like that, and I wore it out of obligation, but no longer! I pick my own clothes!

The image is from this list: the 9 Worst Fashion Trends for Douchebags, which picks out a lot of really irritating trends, like those shirts that make it look like you've got tatooed arms.

Sure, when it first came out, it might have seemed novel, but that was a long time ago. When you and your wingmen go out, you look like some tribal librarians, bloated and gassy from drinking too much milk with your morning tea.

The same site gives us the 8 worst hiphop fashion trends, and I'm hoping that 2008 will be the year that people forget about dressing hiphop. There's no need anymore - whatever originality comes out of hiphop now has to stay underground before it's bastardized by marketers and pop stars. The article points out that it's not OK to dress in oversized sports jerseys or giant denim shorts.

The combination of both makes you look like these guys, from LOLWigger:
Hilarious hiphop douchebags in baggy shorts


Stay away from crack, kids.

As for celeb fashion, that's always been awful, but this year, at least, we have more celebs than ever looking like they don't got no money:

Colin Farrell goes Hobo Chic

In reality, though, that outfit probably cost enough to give an entire Sudanese village lobster for a year.

Just think Cib, that flame shirt would be pretty good to have in the wardrobe if you got invited to a bad taste party. You would certainly make an entrance.

Happy New Year to you and may it be a really good year.
