Fad or FASHION?

Yo there people. I know I am nobody to judge your sense of style nor your mama who nag about your "uniform" when ya getting ready to flash the town. Just like the old adage saying, if your AGE and WAISTLINE have both fallen on the wrong side of 30, you probably shouldn't be wafting around in harem pants. If you are old enough for the Government to have a housing scheme designed just for you, then you shouldn't be wearing mid-shin turn ups either. So.... stop following the fashion herd on the six unfortunate trends, unless you want to end up a big, FAT fashion flop!

STUDS ON EVERYTHING?!

Are you a medieval warrior? Are you participating in the World Cosplay Championship? Do you want to look like a Chinese door?

If your answer is "no" to any of the above, you probably might want to dial down on those metallic studs on your shoulder, collars, cuffs, clutch bag, loafers and platform sneakers. When Christian Louboutin first put out those studded shoes two years ago, they looked spikey-fresh, but after you have seen the 169th pair, don't you think the idea has gone rusty?

TAPERED SHRUNKEN CHINOS?!

These carrot-cut trousers are made to be worn by teenagers with impossible narrow loins a.k.a models. Asian males, unfortunately are not known for their  narrow boyish hips, and so unless your goal is to look like turnip or radish (both excellent for spring rolls, by the way) you should go for something that's straight. Cut, I mean, not sexual orientation (if you feel me)

 

 

ONE HUNDRED ACCESSORIES

Do you want to spend the better part of your morning decking out your extremities with junk bangles in the hope of looking "cool", or would you rather sleep in for another couple of hours? Are you as human wind chime? C'mon Guys, less is more.

VERY TIGHT ACID BRIGHT COLOURED- JEANS?!

You are not Korean boy band member with sherbet coloured hair.

BAROQUE PRINTS?!

Unless you are a fat-free youth with poetic eyes, this trend will make you look like Gianni Versace Home Couture throw pillow circa 1993.

BOW TIES & RETRO THICK FRAMED SPECTACLES?!!!

Style is about being unique, its not about being the first to adopt a look. But if you can't buy lunch without seeing 100 people wearing this exact combi (with checked shirt and shorts), then it's time to find a new template to emulate. How about pearls or opera-length gloves?
