Okay so I'm back. Sorry about the extremely long hiatus but I've been in internship limbo and caffeine overload as of late.
Anway...When it comes to trends, my mantra is generally "to each his own". I love to see people work really crazy trends and pull them off. After all, that's what fashion is. But to me, if there's one article of clothing that should stay buried very, very deep in the back of your closet, only to be unearthed when Vanilla Ice comes back (ie: never), it's a denim jacket.
After browsing my ritual editorial rags (a.k.a Star Magazine, US Weekly, etc), I was horrified at the "Trend Watch: Denim Jackets" section. Um no, I REFUSE to watch this trend. While it doesn't look HORRIBLE on fashion icon Chloe Sevigny (nothing could look bad on this girl), her outfit would've been much better had she worn a leather jacket rather than that god forsaken 90's horror trend.
One reader on thefashionspot voiced the same concerns that I have:
"NO MORE, PLEASE, I BEG OF YOU! I cannot see anymore denim and denim combos - its terrible! Unless we are totally reworking the garment in a whole new way (unlikely) - I just dont want to know!"
And I don't want to know either, because Abercrombie's signature jacket has not changed since 1892 (yes, the year it was established), and I'm sure it won't change any time soon
If you feel that you MUST wear one, please oh please I beg of you, no denim on denim. Wardrobe 911 tells it as it is: "Wearing a jean jacket with jeans is only okay if you are Will Farrell doing a Gap ad".
So keep your skinny jeans, denim shorts, faux denim leggings, denim skirts, just
please don't let me see you wearing mom's boxy jean jacket from 1982. Because we
all know you can do better than that.
