Sequined shorts by Ashish, $671.42 at Browns fashion.
Nothing classes up a pair of elastic waistband, Hawaiian print shorts like sequins. Well, maybe chiffon.
Tropical birds tote by Marc Jacobs, $1,450.00 at Saks.
Oh Marc Marc Marc. First of all, why the nylon tote? Aren’t you stepping on Miuccia’s toes by selling ugly nylon bags? Secondly, the title of the bag tells me that is supposed to be a bird. It looks like an amorphous blob to me. Maybe if I cock my head to the right and close my left eye and squint… Nope, still a blob. I clicked the zoom feature and only after seeing it blown up large do I vaguely see a bird.
The real question is, why did no one in the Marc Jacobs team notice that this doesn’t look like a bird? Oh wait, who am I kidding, this is the label that put a bag with a swastika on it into production before realizing their error.
Zip sequin riding pant by Stolen Girlfriends Club, $257.00 at BuyDefinition.
Lets try to ignore the name of the brand. Personally, I automatically judge labels that try to be overly witty or grandiose in their names (see also: Society for Rational Dress).
Beyond that, and despite being rather provocative, these somehow remind me of mom jeans. I think it has to do with the zipper. Exposed and contrasting zippers are very trending right now, as are high waists. However, in making the zipper so noticeable, the designers are also drawing attention to how long it is, resembling mom jeans. I don’t know how I would feel if my mom walked out wearing these babies.
Buy Definition gets bonus points for styling these pants with The worst possible top.
