The expensive, the bad and the ugly


Refinery 29 has kindly listed 10 fashion trends of recent date that the editors hope not to see again. I join them. Top ugly: diaper pants. Now if only they'd take a long hard look at feather bottoms.


in a recent post - this one - , I warned that locating a JC store next door to a fur-and-feather specialist did not bode well. I just love to say "I told you so."

    ...But sometimes you have to say 'I told you so!" Hilarious Fred.
    I am not a celeb follower but I did notice a picture of Jennifer Aniston arriving at the Paris airport with these terrible dropped crotch jeans on. If she can't make them look good it's a true story, no-one can.

    hi, Dani, yes, Nili Lotan has a lot to answer for.

    The last time I remember feathered clothing at JC, they had a salmon/shrimp-colored mini skirt and matching vest, both of which lingered in sale section and on markdown racks for TRULY years. This stuff is an insult to Big Bird.

      Oh I would buy that dress if I could afford it, I LOVE feathered skirts, I've got a white feathery jacket which might flutter onto the blog in the new few weeks - don't shoot me!

      I'm thinking I might feel differently about the Featherbottom if I had Tabs' legs/ thighs...

    I say NO to diaper pants also.

      The first time I was aware of diaper pants (on this continent) was when Nili Lotan did them for J.Crew. See this post: thewhiningdiner.blogspot.com/2011/05/nili-lotan-military-jacket.html

      Didn't like them then, don't like them now, glad no one else does either!

      I thought they were hideous then too. Still think so.

    While some may be able to rock the feather bottoms, I cannot imagine anyone looking good in dropped crotch pants. Who, where, how and why are questions that come to mind when it comes to this ridiculous fashion-don't.

    Hi, tiffany rose, I'm glad Refinery 29 gave it the kiss of death. Next to fall: adult rompers. I hope.

    My Buff Orpingtons rock feather bottoms; otherwise, looks like Big Bird. I wish they would condemn 5"heels.

    Hi, Lane, hi, chooks! Well, now that many of us live where there it's not necessary for health reasons to walk almost a foot above the street or the dining room, I too can do without grotesque heels and platforms.

As Alice Roosevelt Longworth said, if you've got anything bad to say, sit next to me! No, really, please remember to be kind, and don't say anything fred's mother would not approve of (Diner's mom didn't approve of anything. Including fred.)
