New York Fashion Week style is always a debatable little biddy. While some folks look impressive, others look downright foolish. A fashion week constant is the manly dandy, that stylish dude who is 1) almost always gay, 2) almost always over the top and 3) almost always sitting front row at the hottest shows. Fashion is far from a democracy so here we’ll break down the fashion week Kings that make us giggle.

 

This dude reminds me of Steve Urkel. It may be the glasses, the tight pants or the way he’s holding his bag, but at any moment I’m expecting a “Did I do that?” to stream from his lips.

Old dudes at fashion week are fun cause you know they’ve got the money to dress well. This little dandy rocks his look hard and really makes me a bit jealous. I’m such a lazy t-shirt and jeans type of guy so pulling this off would surely require some major thinking, pondering and wardrobe departures. Also, a couple thousand to spend at Saks might help.

 

This dapper dressers title is “Dandy”. I think that means he likes to skip or works truck stops or something. Love the coat, yes we know you look good, but what’s with the make-up buddy. No amount of mascara is gonna hide your drooping eye baggage. And the over-done eyebrows? Do you really enjoy looking like Leona Helmsley. (if that flew over any of our younger readers heads, here’s an image.)

 

Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumber. I really should just do a post series on these two since they’ve been hitting fashion week each day in increasingly ridiculous outfits

Here’s the conversation that lead to this fashion faux pas.

Senile Old Man at Nursing Home : “Grand daughter, as a last dying wish I want us to dress alike for New York Fashion Week. Can you please grant your loving grand papi this one last wish?”

Young Nurse : “Once again, Mr. Thomas I’m not your grand daughter. I’m your nurse … WAIT, did you say New York fashion week?!?”

Senile Old Man at Nursing Home : “Yes”

Young Nurse : “First, let me change your diaper then show me what you want me to wear.”

It’s Neo from the Men’s Warehouse matrix.

Since nothing today is working properly, we thought that it would be a fun activity (to waste time in between screaming at people) to sit down and slightly make fun of Fabulous Ghetto Fashions (new category on Fahion Indie), that we have all been submerged in. So we collaborated and came up with our 10 faves. Enjoy…

1. Super Baggy Pants – Pants have sizes for a reason, so that they fit … correctly. Why spend money on something that is three sizes too big? Was your size not available?

This also includes shorts; if they’re down to your ankles then they aren’t really shorts anymore, are they? And that defeats the purpose. Pull them up, no one wants to see your boxers! 2. Colored Diamonds- Some time ago, it became “cool” for men to have their ears pierced. It started with little hoops and has turned into massive diamond studs, or even worse; name plates. Come On! Really? So, it’s attractive when men wear pink or yellow studs? Are they even real? Colored diamonds are expensive, and in those sizes….If my bf had studs bigger than mine, I wouldn’t be a happy camper! Oh, and please keep them out out of your mouth !

3. Image Overload. Having dollar signs, diamonds, Disney characters, or anything like that all over your clothes is ugly, period! It makes the clothes look cheap, which then makes you look silly. And besides, Mickey, Daffy, and Goofy are not cool for anyone over the age of 5.

4. Baseball Caps With The Sticker Still On – Those are meant to be removed, thats why they’re removable. N0 need to advertise the size of your head, the manufacturer, or how much you paid for it.

5. Full Denim Jumpsuits – There CAN absolutely be too much of a good thing, and unless your Jennifer Lopez, chances are this look isn’t very flattering on you anyway. PS: This includes an all denim outfit, the pieces don’t have to be connected.

6. Long Nails - Acrylic or not, nails shouldn’t go much past the ends of your fingers. They should never be so long they start to curve, and once you add airbrushed patterns and rhinestones, they’re plain scary. So unless your performing a traditional Thai dance, clip them. Although, it IS very entertaining to watch a cashier type with those things.7. Name Plates – Why can’t you just introduce yourself? Why does your name, or your baby mamma’s name, have to be on your crotch, neck, ears, fingers, ect? Other words aren’t acceptable either like “pimp,” “dope,” or “sexy.” Totally NOT sexy!

This dude was nominated for a Grammy. Yeah, we’re serious.

8. Grillz – Are you serious… ew. I can’t imagine that tastes good in your mouth and it looks beyond ridiculous. I wouldn’t want to kiss anyone with metal in their mouth. It’s like dentures only for people who don’t have missing teeth. Or do they?

Lil Jon a.k.a Our Generations Liberace

9. Bling – First of all, the word is stupid. Second, you don’t need diamonds (or whatever your diamond replacement of choice is) all over everything. Thirdly, you shouldn’t have a piece of jewelry the size of your head.

10. Multi-Colored Neon Sneakers – Make up your mind! That’s all I have to say…PS: Please no hate mail for this article!
