The ten biggest fashion faux pas of all time – apparently

Sometimes we get these random weird emails. Today we found a particularly alarming one from the research team behind UK high street giant Debenhams in our inbox. About fashion sins, no less, which is obviously something we don’t believe in. But ever the professionals we did read the email and here is what we learnt. These are the TOP TEN WORST FASHION MISTAKES!

1. Socks with sandals – pretty much the worst combo in the history of fashion. Well, to dispell this myth, just take one quick look at the uber cool Rookie mag editorial Cooler x O’Neill ambassador Maria Pizzeria did with Arvida Bystrom, and some JUJU jellies.

 

2. Platforms for men – another no no, apparently… Not sure what super sweet and super stylish blogger Yu Masui, possibly our favourite fashion person who never fails to make us smile at London Fashion Week, has to say about this.

 

In 3rd place are low slung trousers. Errr, never heard of Alexander McQueen’s famous ridiculously low bumster pants?


4. Velour tracksuits

Don’t know, Missy Elliott always looked good in them…


5. Harems

Excuse me, MC Hammer’s signature trousers are a faux pas?!

6. Crop tops

AMERICAN APPAREL would have to close before the end of the week if that was the case…

7. Bum bags

8. Shell suits

A full black ADIDAS one, as worn by RUN DMC, might well be our next fashion purchase. But who knows, maybe we have no idea what we are doing…


9. Trucker hats

We loved the one we shot for our True Grit story with Alex Sebley last season…


10. Scrunchies

Probably the hair accessory of the moment, as our very recent Pick of the Threads proves…
