			<p>To quote a famous poet, &#8220;I got the Rolly on my arm and I&#8217;m pourin&#8217; Chandon/ And I roll the best weed &#8217;cause I got it goin&#8217; on.&#8221; Yes, we can all have it going on this April 20th, just the way his High Holy Snoopness intended it. 420 is like stoner Christmas &#8212; the holidaze to end all holidaze. You&#8217;re likely to see these mavericks of marijuana &#8212; these Wizards of Weedly Place, these potentates of pot intake &#8212; wandering the streets and haunting 7-11&#8242;s the world over, as out of touch as their wardrobes. Granted, the garden variety stoner is not what one would call a fashionista, but if they can they lift their dreadlocked heads from the sweet, sweet lips of their bong to take a look in the mirror, they can avoid these few style missteps and look as fly as they feel.<span id="more-192772"></span></p>

<p>Happy Toking and remember to dress is human, to smoke divine.</p>

<p><img class='alignleft wp-image-60' alt='' src='http://fashionindiemedia.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Birkenstock-Sydney.jpg' width='480' height='360' /></p><p>1. <em>Quit this</em>: <strong>Birkenstocks</strong>
A <a href="http://fashionindie.com/mandals-scandal-return-of-the-teva/" target="_blank">mandal</a> by any other name would look as bad.</p><h1></h1>
<p><img class='alignleft wp-image-60' alt='' src='http://fashionindiemedia.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/hermes-espadrilles.jpg' width='560' height='315' /></p><p><em>Hit this</em>: <strong>Espadrilles</strong>
An<strong> Hermès</strong> espadrille may not be ideal for Ultimate Frisbee in the quad, but it's more than appropriate for quick munchie runs.</p><h1></h1>
<p><img class='alignleft wp-image-60' alt='' src='http://fashionindiemedia.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/tie-dye.jpg' width='425' height='360' /></p><p>2. <em>Quit this</em>: <strong>Tie-Dye
</strong>Psychedelia  gave us many things, none of them as enduring or as tacky as tie-dye.</p><h1></h1>
<p><img class='alignleft wp-image-60' alt='' src='http://fashionindiemedia.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/verushka-pour-emilio-pucci-1964.jpg' width='1066' height='1052' /></p><p><em>Hit this</em>: <strong>Bold prints
Pucci</strong> prints are as trippy as they come so you can easily get lost staring into them for hours on end.</p><h1></h1>
<p><img class='alignleft wp-image-60' alt='' src='http://fashionindiemedia.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/hemp_clothing_set_400.jpg' width='400' height='858' /></p><p>3. <em>Quit this</em>: <strong>Hemp
</strong>A durable and versatile fabric, there are more chic ways to green your wardrobe, especially without using your green.</p><h1></h1>
<p><img class='alignleft wp-image-60' alt='' src='http://fashionindiemedia.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/hm-conscious-1.jpg' width='920' height='535' /></p><p><em>Hit this</em>: <strong>Organic fabrics
</strong>If you're all about sustainability and that crap, <strong>H&amp;M</strong>'s <strong><a href="http://fashionindie.com/hm-conscious-collection-spring-2012/" target="_blank">Conscious Collection</a></strong> is easy on the environment and on your wallet.</p><h1></h1>
<p><img class='alignleft wp-image-60' alt='' src='http://fashionindiemedia.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/David_Cassidy_puka.jpg' width='350' height='344' /></p><p>4. <em>Quit this</em>: <strong>Puka shell necklaces
</strong>Ah, the puka shell necklace, or as I like to think of it, shorthand for letting everyone know you're a complete tool.</p><h1></h1>
<p><img class='alignleft wp-image-60' alt='' src='http://fashionindiemedia.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/costume-statement-necklace.jpg' width='333' height='500' /></p><p><em>Hit this</em>: <strong>Statement jewelry
</strong>A statement necklace says something completely different, like "I'm high as a kite right now and I'm going to dress like it."</p><h1></h1>
<p><img class='alignleft wp-image-60' alt='' src='http://fashionindiemedia.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/bushponcho.jpg' width='450' height='432' /></p><p>5. <em>Quit this</em>: <strong>Ponchos
</strong>If you've been indulging a little too much in the late night Taco Bell, then by all means, drape an unflattering carpet over yourself.</p><h1></h1>
<p><img class='alignleft wp-image-60' alt='' src='http://fashionindiemedia.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/00030m.jpg' width='320' height='480' /></p><p><em>Hit this</em>: <strong>Capes
</strong>However, a cape like this <strong>Alexander McQueen</strong> number is a fashionable alternative to the poncho but on the other hand, so is anything else.</p><h1></h1>
<p><img class='alignleft wp-image-60' alt='' src='http://fashionindiemedia.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Ed_Hardy_Men_s_Death_Or_Glory_Board_Shorts_in_Yellow_01.jpg' width='355' height='512' /></p><p>6. <em>Quit this</em>: <strong>Board shorts
</strong>Board shorts are appropriate on only one occasion, and that is on a surf board. Any other time is just an insult to surfers everywhere.</p><h1></h1>
<p><img class='alignleft wp-image-60' alt='' src='http://fashionindiemedia.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/00120m.jpg' width='320' height='480' /></p><p><em>Hit this</em>: <strong>Suit shorts
Tom Ford</strong> <a href="http://fashionindie.com/5-ways-tom-ford-says-im-not-a-gentleman/" target="_blank">doesn't think men should wear shorts at all</a>, but <strong>Thom Browne</strong> doesn't expect you to play hacky sack in a full-on pant during those hot summer months.</p><h1></h1>
<p><img class='alignleft wp-image-60' alt='' src='http://fashionindiemedia.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/davinciDefault3411.jpg' width='600' height='592' /></p><p>7. <em>Quit this</em>: <strong>Hawaiian shirts
</strong>Hawaiian shirts are appropriate on only one occasion, and that is on <strong>Charlie Sheen</strong>. Any other time is just an insult to Charlie Sheen...which is kind of all right.</p><h1></h1>
<p><img class='alignleft wp-image-60' alt='' src='http://fashionindiemedia.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/NMN12XR_mz.jpg' width='1200' height='1500' /></p><p><em>Hit this</em>: <strong>Paisley shirts
</strong>Odds are you won't need much to cheer you up this 420, but paisley, like this <strong>Michael Kors</strong> top, can add a dash of curlicued sunshine to anyone's day.</p><h1></h1>
<p><img class='alignleft wp-image-60' alt='' src='http://fashionindiemedia.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/gal_90s_clueless.jpg' width='575' height='384' /></p><p>8. <em>Quit thi</em>s: <strong>Baggy jeans</strong>
"So okay, I don't want to be a traitor to my generation and all but I don't get how guys dress today. I mean, come on, it looks like they just fell out of bed and put on some baggy pants and take their greasy hair - ew - and cover it up with a backwards cap and like, we're expected to swoon? I don't think so." -- <strong>Cher Horowitz</strong></p><h1></h1>
<p><img class='alignleft wp-image-60' alt='' src='http://fashionindiemedia.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/4131702525_e957fc97e5_o.jpg' width='436' height='560' /></p><p><em>Hit this</em>: <strong>Harem pants
</strong>A harem pant gives you the same freeballin' feeling as a pair of slouchy <strong>Levi's</strong> hanging off your upper thighs and -- bonus points -- the drop-crotch acts as a great weed table if nothing else is around.</p><h1></h1>
<p><img class='alignleft wp-image-60' alt='' src='http://fashionindiemedia.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/american-eagle-outfitters-summer-2010-campaign-240510-2.jpg' width='600' height='400' /></p><p>9. <em>Quit this</em>: <strong>American Eagle
</strong>For most of us, middle school is over and so is the Eagle.</p><h1></h1>
<p><img class='alignleft wp-image-60' alt='' src='http://fashionindiemedia.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/american-apparel-ad-DC-kiss-300807.jpg' width='1300' height='1526' /></p><p><em>Hit this</em>: <strong>American Apparel
</strong>Going from the Eagle to the Apparel, though, is not so much a show of growth so much as a show of wanting to get laid. But even stoners need to slut it up sometimes.</p><h1></h1>
<p><img class='alignleft wp-image-60' alt='' src='http://fashionindiemedia.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/adhd-beanie-lg.jpg' width='400' height='300' /></p><p>10. <em>Quit this</em>: <strong>Beanies
</strong>A beanie is like the stoner equivalent of the little black dress. And though I would deign to ask any pothead worth his or her reefer to abandon their LBD...</p><h1></h1>
<p><img class='alignleft wp-image-60' alt='' src='http://fashionindiemedia.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/brad-pitt-newsboy-cap.jpeg' width='300' height='478' /></p><p><em>Hit this</em>: <strong>Newsboys
</strong>A newsboy cap adds a certain air of jauntiness and charm. I mean, who would you rather get high with, beanie boy or <strong>Brad Pitt?</strong> Though the beanie guy looks baked as all get out.</p><h1></h1>
<p><img class='alignleft wp-image-60' alt='' src='http://fashionindiemedia.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/James-Franco-in-Pineapple-Express-580x435.jpg' width='580' height='410' /></p><p></p><h1></h1>			]]>

			<p>When it comes to sandals, I think they&#8217;re best worn at the beach or far away from public consumption. When it comes to flip-flops, I think they should just be thrown atop a burning trash heap since that&#8217;s the only good they&#8217;ll do anyone. But for some reason, fashion is embracing the <strong>Teva</strong>, the ugliest men&#8217;s footwear this side of a fluorescent Croc.</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-188411" href="http://fashionindie.com/mandals-scandal-return-of-the-teva/teva-torture/"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-188411" title="teva-torture" src="http://ficdn.fashionindie.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/teva-torture-560x338.jpg" alt="The Mandals Scandal: Return of the Teva" width="560" height="338" /></a></p>
<p><span id="more-188366"></span></p>
<p><strong>Sally Singer</strong>&#8216;s <a href="http://tmagazine.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/03/07/flip-flopping/" target="_blank"><em>T Magazine</em> declares</a> that this &#8220;multistrapped mid-’80s fashion disaster beloved by Deadheads in dreads, is having a moment.&#8221; There are at least 5 things wrong with that sentence so would it be possible to end this moment before it even starts?</p>
<p>Apparently <strong>Lanvin</strong> (left <strong>Alber</strong>, what were you thinking?), <strong>Bottega Veneta</strong> (center) and <strong>Richard Chai</strong> (right) all showed them on their spring runways. So with the coming warm weather also comes the threat of seeing people&#8217;s gross feet on the subway&#8230;</p>
<p>The <em>New York City</em> subway&#8230;</p>
<p>In flip-flops&#8230;</p>
<p>Why not just walk barefoot through a pile of hypodermic needles? It&#8217;s the same experience. So, gentlemen, before subjecting your feet and the world to Teva torture, perhaps consider a slip-on? An espadrille? A casual man-heel?</p>

			Loved this piece by New York Magazine blogger Amy Odell. She took the seasons &#8220;hottest&#8221; mandals to the street and asked folks if they&#8217;d wear them. Philip Lims monstrosities for Birkenstock were the most critically panned, D&#038;G&#8217;s $500 white, shiny slip ons we&#8217;re also hated. The winning sandals we&#8217;re by Prada and Burberry.

<p>Loved this piece by New York Magazine blogger Amy Odell. She took the seasons &#8220;hottest&#8221; mandals to the street and asked folks if they&#8217;d wear them. Philip Lims monstrosities for Birkenstock were the most critically panned, D&#038;G&#8217;s $500 white, shiny slip ons we&#8217;re also hated. The winning sandals we&#8217;re by Prada and Burberry.  My personal fave is Amy Odell, was totally picturing someone else when ever I read her articles. Thank god for video.</p>
