Fashion Tips for the Clueless

For the Gents (written by Davezilla)

  1. Experimental facial hair will warm the jowls and frighten the fair sex.
  2. “Prison-bitch” pants went the way of the Dodo. Take note.
  3. There is a fine line between looking ruggedly unshaven and looking like you’ve spent a weekend bender with Gary Busey.
  4. “Manpris” (capris for men) can only be worn by Belgian hairdressers.
  5. There is a finite limit to the number of clip-on electronic devices that you can acceptably wear, and that number is zero.

For the Ladies (written by Natalie)

  1. Only vagabonds and homeless are allowed to wear more than three layers at a time.
  2. Miniskirts with Uggs. Not in my universe.
  3. Pajama bottoms in public? You’d best be three years-old and looking for Mommy.
  4. Contrary to popular belief, men don’t find marabou sexy. Leave it for storks.
  5. Bubble skirts are for lamps, not legs.
