Leggings are great for working out, lounging around, throwing on, or for pairing with an outfit that was a once cute dress but is now too short.  The greatness of leggings, is not what I’m debating here.  It’s what’s spawning from these tight favorites that has me worried.  Mainly, what are these faux leather, almost plastic looking leggings that are popping up everywhere?  I can’t decide if I love them or hate them.  They’re definitely funky and a good trend for those completely bored of jeans (ahem, moi). American Apparel has gone so far as to make high-waisted and faux denim leggings.  So time to weigh in ladies.  Will you be shimmying into these tight creations? Love it or leave it?

Guys might complain about some of the fashion trends we follow. This year’s gladiator sandals and last year’s voluminous baby doll dresses are two cases in point. They just don’t seem to get it. Well, with summer in full swing, we’ve started noticing some terrible trends that don’t even have a basis in fashion, from what we can tell. Who said mandals were hot? When is it ever a good idea for a guy to put on a transparent shirt? These are 10 of the worst “looks” guys could wear for summer. (In response to Asylum’s “Women’s Summer Fashion Trends We Hate”). Now will someone please buy Ed Westwick a longer pair of shorts?

Remember high-heeled sneakers? I think they were popular for a time during the Clueless days, and then brought back for a split second by Jenny From Da Block, but I thought for sure they’d been retired permanently. Not so.
