Made by people who do not know the cold.
On a related note, didn't catch if it was posted here before, but what is up with all those pants that end above your ankle? There was a point in time about a year ago where almost every store was selling these and barely any normal lenght jeans. In the middle of autumn.

I think it was because of the chelsea boot trend that was going around at the same time.

this style of jeans is a targeted attack by the fashion industry to ruin my life. i’m a 6ft tall natal woman, and every pair of pants made in the last 5 years end basically in my mid-calf. i’ve had to settle for wearing almost all my jeans cuffed.
 
The Chinese store with millions of items using stolen photos and a price range of $5-20 sells low quality shit? I, for one, am shocked
Reminds me of places on Wish stealing photos from a renn faire leather shop I know irl. Said store sells their garments for hundreds of bucks (the quality is well worth it) while wish sells them for $20. What a steal! I'm always tempted to get one to see what kind of tragedy they'll ship me.
 
have you ever wanted to skateboard in baggy corduroys?
have you ever wanted to wear 'designer' clothing without any of the brand recognition?

Basically the whole thing is 2 gimmicks
1st the 'big mamas' pants are a direct rip off of the most popular skate pants right now, the polar big-boys except the big momas look like retarded pajamas
2nd obviously all these prices are self inflated. you can see what the prices really were on the waybackmachine
all the pants were floating around the $100-$120 range which is still absurd

I'm not sure if they are real or a prank, but they have this video on their site and it is gold.

I am always surprised that corduroy is still used to make pants. Didn't enough people get traumatised as kids, walking down a quiet elementary school hallway wearing THE loudest pants ever?

I am under 5 ft and ngl, only recently have I been able to buy pants in the USA.
 
That's kind of the point, it's a part of the whole y2k revival trend going on

But the early 2000s were probably fashion's absolute low point. Seventies motifs, cheapo goth tat, skateboarding shoes, crop tops (although women were thinner back then so it was less offensive), trucker caps, velour tracksuits, cod Asian jewellery and Chinese pictogram decorated shirts on men who thought they were edgy, trousers with legs as wide as railway tunnels. Dreadful! I didn't like it at the time; you'd have to be mad to want to wear the clothes of that era now.
 
y2k revival trend
Heh. I was referring to the 1970s. #old

From what I recall of 2000s fashion, it was mostly trying to turn little boys into gangsta-wannabe skateboarders with sagging wide-cut pants and oversized T-shirts and little girls into prostitutes with clear high heeled shoes, pants with words on the butt and tight see-though shirts.
Mostly everyone looked like they got their clothes in Goodwill's dumpsters.

They're just Walmart joggers.

imagine being invited to the fanciest costume party in the world where you could further your career by dressing up like an artsy satyr forest nymph or something even more outlandish and conceptual, and instead wearing a glorified bib with a gross pornified girlboss statement on it. this was the last straw i quit feminism

I don't know what sadder if attractive women are wearing this for a statement. Or a marketing clothing line is putting these cringe clothing on attractive women for marketing?
 
Jesus christ, apparently the theme is American independence? They're practically BEGGING people to come in dressed in lazy pandering propaganda.
Is it just me or does she always wear the exact same fucking shit? Headscarves and gaudy silver jewelry, where's the innovation? Don't even get me started on this blanket she threw on herself and called it a "dress."

Jen, 2010 called, they want their tacky ZARA line back. It's Ralph Lauren so who's surprised really.

I don't know what to say. Points for originality I suppose?

Absolute chad, no further comment. Troye Sivan is prime example of what the twitter trannies screech and preach for but secretly despise.

Wow such bold statements, so brave, so controversial.

This one just straight up horrified me. This is Hailee Steinfeld, yes, THAT HAILEE STEINFELD. 24 YEARS OLD. She looks 50, how does that even happen?

Then you see that and think it couldn't get any worse and oh... Oh honey...

The biggest irony of all: Kim Kardashian is the only one who actually fits the theme and sends a political message without needing to shove it down people's throats. What's more classy, wearing an ugly basic dress that says "GENERIC LEFTIST COLD TAKE" in big red text on it, or wearing a symbolic piece that also looks nice but is ultimately up to interpretation?

it really exposes how out of touch with both the left and the youth AOC truly is, presumably she didn’t have a single person on her team to just tell her that the dress is turbocringe.
i wasn’t a huge fan of kim’s outfit either (leg capes lol) but it’s definitely a striking piece and had some sort of artistic statement/intent behind it. meanwhile AOC is giving “i’m 14 and i stole my mom’s wedding dress from the attic trunk and drew on it with red sharpie”
