Ten Ghetto Fabulous Don’ts
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!

Finally someone is telling the viewers what is not cool in the fashion world. I really get tired of people who think it’s the hottest thing to wear the jean under the butts. I was once like this ,(what was i thinking) but now as a designer now i will never ever go back to the undesirable ways of that style. some need to grow up as see that not attractive. Thank you
Reply to Jeffrey Cabreraalso stop with the grills ugliest thing ever long A*s nails for no reason… but the Neon sneakers i like them i don’t think of them of a big don’t. We can’t stick inside the box, think abstract because those who still in the box are crowded be free don’t be a sheep and follow other.Thank you
Reply to Jeffrey CabreraTotally agree with you. Thanks for the love.
Reply to Daniel SayntyEaH! gHetTo RulEZ! Wut up muthafack!?
Reply to DRAWBOBOYall stupid, i mean do you think thouse people who wears thouse clothing talks about you style of wearing for the entire world to read? NO. people respect. yes we think you people who wears tite pants look stuped ass hell. I reather have my bf wear ghetto style then wear normal clothing. + I dont think you would like if we open an web site to talk about people style of clothing. is not even worth because the world is NOT going to change because of your racism
Reply to Jessica CruzIt’s not about judgement toward the style. Just how far can you really get in life dressing like that. Also not about racism, thats just a retarded thought made by you. I have plantly of freind that drees ghetto. It just been done way too much. nobody has to see your underwear. You can’t even get into a club dressing like that. My jeans are reasonable bagged not too tight or bagged. If you feel that way keep living inside the box.
Reply to Jeffrey CabreraHey Jeffrey, contact me, I have a few things I want to talk to you about.

#5….give up your ignorant life style and go to school! Your post proves that the ghetto style is congruent with a shallow, uneducated attitude. Learn to spell a few words before you write them for the world to read…..dork!
Reply to crackerI’ve said my peace of mind…i will remain humble and at peace. never did i say anything about attitude or shallow. I respect all mankind weather black, white,spanish its not toward the people, even though most follow what they waer toward there lifestyle, it’s the fashion sense people, i will repeat IT’S THE FASHION SENSE. stop refering this in a negative way. thank you
PS(ex. i know very educated people that dress in this form, and still remain respected. i have a cousin who dress in a proper way and still a ganster at heart.) end of story

UNDEES SHOWIN THINKIN YOUR RESPECTED IN LIFE. SO SILLY.
Reply to EWOK 5MHJeffrey (#9):
Reply to M.S.Post #8 doesn’t make a connection of ignorance and an uneducated attitude with race, YOU did that. The poster (although immature) is right. He makes the connection with the ghetto lifestyle based on Jessica’s post. I know you’re referring to fashion sense only while he’s focusing on lifestyle, but the point is you made the connection with race, which in this subject is completely unrelated unless you want to feed the stereotype.

Reply to Desiree'By tight do you mean lamer than the retarded fat kid at summer camp?
Reply to Rebecca AlexanderCan you “peeples’ learn how to spell, cuz writing like an illegitimate love child of Lil John and Lil Wayne doesn’t make me or anyone on this site value your opinion, yo.
Reply to Rebecca Alexander….and if you consider Lil John sexy, there is something wrong with your vajayjay cuz ‘lil’ is NEVER sexy!!!
Reply to Rebecca Alexanderlet me guess who ever u r u r white huh? yur gaay yur prob. a fucken emo or preppy! and i looooove ghetto and gangsta so shut the fuck up yur nothing! fucken loser!
Reply to stephanieReally? Are you serious? Is that how you really write Stephanie? Cuz gangsta or ghetto is really not appealing in normal society, so pull your pants up, unbraid your hair, get rid of the Jesus around your neck and the oversized fake gold hoops and get a freaking education and at least learn how to spell!!!
Reply to Rebecca AlexanderStephanie.
Number 1. Not white. Hispanic from Kingsbridge in the Bronx.
Number 2. Not gay, preppy, or emo. Style is more urban with a mix of tees and suits.
Number 3. Not a “fucken loser” cause I can spell. Read a book, please.
Reply to Daniel Sayntfocus people get to the point no matter how you feel like putting it. It will never be expected a the professional world. Just do yourself a favor and stop doing it. There a reason its called ghetto wear…because its not the style where you can go far in unless you 50 cent, and not even he goes that hard on the style
Reply to Jeffrey Cabrerayou stupid stupid fuck’n bitch. you dont know fucking shit. you porbly some lil fuck’n bitch that has no life but to post coments on wut people like you wear. your not wearing it so SHUT THE FUCK UP. PLEASE im sorry bout this but just stop. let people do wut they wanna. OK
Reply to i aint tell'n yallfuck yall stupid bitchez
Reply to i aint tell'n yallhaha thank you for fulfilling the stereotype…you are the reason why we write these articles. We wouldn’t have to mock your lack of style if you would just admit you had none, and despite what you may think Rebecca isn’t a bitch she is actually quite nice!
Reply to Corey Moraneveryone should just chill cuz I’m sure u could make a list of “don’ts” about every style. this stupid argument isn’t gonna change anyone’s opinion
Reply to AndreaWho tha fuck do you think you are to try and convince people whats cool or hip or fresh or not? This isn’t news that some people feel this way, obviously because plenty of old farts talk about the good ole dayz when everyone was named Hewitt and wore Mr. Rogerz cardiganz and shit and Reefer Madness was a household fav. But for you to try and say this isn’t cool?! That just makes you look ignorant. Obviously YOU are the minority and WE are the majority. If that wasn’t the case, if no one liked this shit or agreed with you that it looks dumb, this wouldn’t be popular or cool. Duh. And Lil Jon with his ugly ass wouldn’t get pussy flossin his flooded-ass braces. He would get laughed at. Too bad he gets paid enough to buy that shit. Hmmmm… what does that say?
Reply to Kopek OnerKopek,
Seriously dude? Do you really think it looks cool to wear your pants half way down your ankles? Do you really like dressing like a saturday morning cartoon? You wear this stuff cause you’re easily influenced by a generation of rappers and hip hop stars which have been puppeted along by white business men, whose ultimate goal is to grab your money and get you to wear a costume which will always define you as lower class. It’s a sad truth, but it is truth.
It’s like a costume which makes you look less important than me. It’s great if you want to keep pushing along a stereotype. It’s great if you want to keep looking like the perfect target for some racial profiling by the powers that be, but personally I just think it’s idiotic that anyone would defend looking like a street thug.
If you want to dress this way, knock yourself out in bling bling and fitted New Era’s, but don’t think for a minute that I’m the ignorant one for realizing one thing about your costume. It’s just another tool to hold you down.
As a minority myself, I’m amazed at how many idiots there are out there. How many of my own people would endorse a way of dress that will only keep us down. But hell, to each their own. Just don’t get pissed if I ,and everyone else with the power to make you more than you are, call you GHETTO and try our best to keep you there.
Grow up and quit thinking that you have some sort of culture to defend.
