LA Fashion Trends That Get on My Last Damn Nerve

Los Angeles is known for being a melting pot of cultures and at times, fashion (if that's what you can call it). Here's a list of trends we've seen in L.A. that are sure to leave even the most clueless of clothing wearers stumped as to how they hit the mainstream.

  1. Don Ed Hardy

    On behalf of Southern California in general, we would like to apologize to the rest of the world for Ed Hardy's tattoo-y wrath on popular culture. Seriously, L.A. having the skull and hearts tattoo on your t-shirt, jeans, sneakers, trucker cap, wine bottles and skinned over your mini cooper is way over kill. Now that Ed Hardy tattoo the rest of us have been planning on just isn't gonna fly. Love Kills? No, no *you* kill Mr. Hardy.

  2. Homeless

    There is a tendency in certain parts of Los Angeles (Hollywood especially) where the underlying idea exists so many people are starving artists/models/up and coming rock musicians that they decide to look the part. Have you ever been to Echo Park? Those stains on those jeans are REAL.

    The easiest explanation would have to be that it's Zoolander's spoof of "Derelique" taken a bit too seriously.

  3. Leggings

    <b>Are they really pants or pantyhose?</b>

    Leggings are supposed to be traditional garb for those folks who are into horseback riding. They've become so grossly overused with the fashion in SoCal that you'll even spot a few of various colors at your local Target. But, the real question then stands are they tights or can you wear a t-shirt with that? Maybe there is a fine line between legitimate outer garment and footless tights is whether there is VPL present (that’s Visible Panty Line, for those of you who don’t already know). Still, not quite sure if panties (even thongs) can be "safely" worn under even the thicker, weightier leggings.

    The 80's may be back in fashion, but being classy will always remain classic. Don’t be a victim of VPL, or even worse, camel toe with these monstrosities.

  4. Skinny Jeans on Men

    Did anyone else feel some vomit come up?

    At the risk of undermining credibility by being politically incorrect, skinny jeans on men are for all intents and purposes very gay. Now before suffering the backlash of an entire community, let's put what was just said into context. Merriam-Webster defines the word "gay" as "merry" and "lively." Synonyms for merry and lively are mirthful and sprightly, so unless you want to look sprightly mirthful or even boyishly elven, avoid this look at all costs. C'mon, they look just like <b>leggings</b>. Besides, you have to admit that for both men and women skinny jeans have an age and size limit, which in many cases involve a single digit.

    I may have to recant on the "Boots in Hot Weather" item... I may have judged too soon when I made this list shortly after moving to the LA area for the first time in life. Only now do I realize I can both freeze my ass off AND sweat like a dying pig on the same day. Weather in the valley...
  4. GREAT LIST

    As a man, my first response is to say that this is a great fashion trend (for obviously sophomoric reasons). On the other hand, it smacks a bit of desperation, and the only girls I normally see wearing these things should NOT be wearing them, regardless of fashion faux pas.

    What if the 20's trend came back? Halloween stores would be open year-round and re-enactment villages would get raided!

    Good idea, get fitted! What's with squeezing into things anyhow?

    You're right, this fits none of the criteria for women wearing things that typically are too tight, too short, or too thin. I'm baffled.

    Can you imagine a dude doing this? Ahhh! (hork). But... a curvy lady... hmmm. Why is this? What's with the bias?

    Well said Nanashi.

    To reiterate - If you keep your neck covered when you're cold, you'll lessen the chance of getting sick. A public service annoucement by COMMON SENSE

    As long as latex paint is impractical to wear often, women will continue distracting the weaker sex with their curves, BAMN (by any means necessary).

    Unless you're about to ironically ride a mechanical bull, there is absolutely no reason to wear one of these. Ever. Oh, and if you're in a movie or a play...or a themed birthday party.

    Maybe all people wearing cowboy hats have just always been in one of these situations. I would give the universe the benefit of the doubt if it weren't for the guys sitting around me when I went to see 300,
