Slashed army shirt by Balmain, $1,625.00 at Netaporter. Submitted by Joanna.  Balmain is getting a lot of shit for this top in the blog world.  As it should.  This is the sort of thing that just makes me ask HOW?  How was this shirt  designed by  Decarin (or more likely, one of his assistants). How was it OK’d by the owners of the historical couture brand and sent down the runway.  How was it was priced this high.  How did buyers from Netaporter and other retailers said, “yes, this is a good idea, let’s order it.”  How will any client look at this price and pay that for it.  This is no fantasy and exclusivity.  This is a fucking cotton shirt with rips.  Those rips look like a gasping face. It probably saw its price tag. View high resolution

Fold over pants by Nightcap, $176.00 at Shopbop. Submitted by Sarah.  There really isn’t much to be said about these pants that you can’t see with your own eyes.  Sarah says it best, “I know you’ve had a lot of skirted leggings already on the blog, but have you had a pair of poorly mended, skirted Jersey pants? I think not.”  These pants are quite unique in their terribleness.

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?

Cut out swimsuit by Zimmermann, $219.00 at Shopbop. If you are to get this bathing suit, I would sincerely hope that you are a fan of Mercedes Benz.  After all, if you wear this swimsuit, you will be walking around with their logo tanned into your skin.

Acid wash torn leggings by Nightcap, $99.00 at Revolve Clothing. Now we may add another chapter to the skirted leggings saga.  Individually, I think all the of trends represented here can work (ok, I hate skirted leggings, but I admit I may be unfairly biased), but when you put all the extreme trends together in one piece, it looks messy and and makes you look like a fashion victim.  Sometimes, less is more.

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.
