Worst Styles of the Recession

Wearing Your Little Sister's Jeans

Cash is tight, and so are these jeans. Too tight. Waaay too tight.

Girls, You Can't Wear Your Little Sister's Jeans Either

Unacceptable. If you can do this with your underwear, it means your jeans don’t fit.

Dress Like a Hipster

Because they LOVE Value Village.

Bringing out the Bedazzler

I know things are dismal and depressing but shiny beads and sequins won’t fix anything. Don’t you do it. DON’T DO IT. EVER.

Reusing Pit-Stained T-Shirts

Jesus f**ck. Recycle your beer cans but not your soiled T-shirts.

Rubber Flip-Flops

Again, no dirty shoes allowed! Rubber flip-flops in the dead of winter is a no-no. I mean, why suffer? It’s freezing! Put on some real shoes and cover up your snags. Does it get worse than this?

The Hobo Look is a No-Go

Seriously, guys, I know it’s hot to layer, but don’t dress like a homeless person unless you want to be one.

Office Product Jewelry

This is a bad idea for two reasons:

1. If you get caught stealing from your office to make stupid necklaces, you will get fired.

2. When I was younger, paperClip necklaces represented the amount of boys you had kissed…. A choker at the time, who knows what I would do with that long beast now ;)

High top sneakers

Hey, the late 80s were hard economic times as well. However, these were not flattering in 1987. They are not flattering now. Check Taylors at least conform a bit more to the shape of one’s ankle, but bringing back the puffy Reebok cannot end well. ESPECIALLY with your little sister’s jeans.
