Elegant Dressing

An Incomplete, Ever-Growing List of Fashion Crimes Committed by the Hosts of What Not to Wear:

Shirts that hang below the jackets, but when you ponder it, there is nowhere to tuck in shirts when your garment only comes up to the hip. Tucking requires an actual waistband.

A vest that hangs below the jacket--a tra-vest-y!

Dangling, flashy earings in daytime

Cap-sleeve dresses on middle-aged arms

Strutting through the city sidewalks wearing evening-style gowns in broad daylight, with decolletage that cuts down below the boobs

Dresses and skirts above-the-knee on calfless woman with large knees

Trousers worn below the natural waist--hey, anyone remember where that is located?

Metallic shoes in daytime

Open-toed shoes in winter and fall

Tight jackets that don't button without straining, aux accents de Tom Ford's "Little Boy Looks for Men" style

Trousers that pile-up at the shoes like a rubbish tip for bad cloths

Maroon, grey and brown thrown all together--all together now, "throw up"!

Six-inch heels in daytime to compensate for leg-length lost while wearing trousers or skirts with a two-inch rise above the crotch

Calling a pair of jeans that actually come up to the real waist "high-waisted"--in true fashion-victim style

Sporting a bare neck with a heavy, crew-necked sweater

To Be Continued....
