One shouldered sports bra by Alexander Wang, $58.00 at Opening Ceremony Sports bras are ugly.  I live for mine when I work out but it is not something I want to take out as a fashion statement.  Wang had the brilliant idea of making an ugly, utilitarian undergarment even worse by making it outerwear and removing any function.  How are you supposed to wear this?  On the runway the pieces were styled in a way that would resemble an old timey hobo boxer if worn out in public. Now, if you are looking for the more authentic sports bra look, they also offer those for $72.00.  Because its not like you can’t get a real sports bra for cheaper.

Destroyed jeans with attached lining by 7 for all Mankind, $198.00 at Tobi. Are we - the fashion buying public - so lazy that brands are now pre-layering our denim and leggings?  Or do they just think we are?

Satin pant by Sparkle & Fade, $58.00 at Urban Outfitters Submitted by beckfast.  Urban Outfitters describes these pants as “sleek”.  Baggy polyester pants with an elastic waistband are the exact opposite of sleek, they are sloppy.  Perhaps UO meant “shiny”, because they sure are shiny.

T shirt by Evil Twin, $65.52 at Asos. Naked under leather… What does that even mean?  You wear leather clothes without anything underneath?  I hope that doesn’t chafe you.  It seems like they just picked the most provocative and buzz-y fashion words for right now, haphazardly formed them into a sentence, and put them on a shirt hoping people would bite.  Then they tore it up, because that is also cool.

Duct tape dress by Cheap Monday, $60.00 at Shopbop. This dress was submitted by Sarah.  She says the dress reminds her of, ” those bodysuits that actors have to wear when shooting a scene that needs CGI added to it, or possibly a hobo.” Both excellent observations, in my opinion.
