There’s no doubt about it: fashion is a beautiful thing. Creating and following a trend can be exhilarating, rewarding— educational, even. But occasionally we see one that doesn’t quite pass the smell test; it’s everywhere, but it’s awful. “Did we miss a memo? What is everyone thinking?” Even the chicest of the chic have their WTF moments. Here are the top 10 style obsessions that we here at Paste will never understand.
First of all, this is obviously cheating. Sneakers and heels? No. Either wear the pumps or the trainers; you can’t have your cake and eat it, too. Wedge sneakers are clunky, confusing, and generally a shoe embarrassment. Even designer Isabel Marant, who debuted the trend in 2012, is admitting defeat here.
Anne Hathaway wore one of these during her “fashion transformation” montage in The Devil Wears Prada, evidently confusing the audience into believing that this is a valid accessory. Come on, guys, it’s named for the hundred-year-old career of an adolescent boy, and hats are pretty questionable as it is. Not exactly modern muse material.
These knee-length inseams have us a little baffled. Is it a skirt? Pants? Why would anyone intentionally wear something that limits his or her range of motion while vaguely resembling a diaper? Just the thought of trying to exit a taxi in these makes me flinch.
