I Am Not Playing This Fashion Game

Free yourself from stupidity

The orders mysteriously come down from on high. You will raise your hems.

Or lower them.

You will wear this color, not that one. Your jeans will show your ass crack one year and then reach halfway up to your armpits the next.

Nope. Not playing that game.

I recently glimpsed an ad of a man wearing a blazer that was far too large for him and idly wondered why someone would go to all the expense of placing such an ad without making sure the clothing fitted properly.

Now I read that swimming in oversized blazers is in. It’s a thing, apparently. People are wearing blazers so big that they look like they’re children playing dress-up with their grandpa’s wardrobe.

This is bullshit, people.

And you know it, too. When you look at old family pictures, you laugh at what everybody was wearing, don’t you?

Of course you do. Anybody who tries to keep up with fashion looks ridiculous most of the time. And if you don’t see it in the minute, you sure do in hindsight.

People who ignore fashion look somewhat less ridiculous.
