I can understand how history has affected the way we dress today in MANY ways. Look at our modern day sandals; they are described as GLADIATOR shoes. Where did that term come from? Gladiators. High wasted skirts, where did those come from? The seventies and eighties created that style. One thing I’ve noticed evolving in the world are…rompers. The word ‘romper’ makes me think of a nine year old playing at the zoo. Second of all the romper seems to be overalls, turned into shorts, with fabric instead of denim. On top of THAT, people are wearing overalls, without actually working on a farm?? I understand if you have no clean pants…or shirts and decided to throw on anything you can find in your closet. But not ONE piece of material that covers up the whole shebang. Also, has anyone else noticed what a lot of these rompers do to woman? It looks like you have a wedgie from the waste up. In a way it seems like the look came from the whole “boy fit” shorts. As in, loose are baggie pants to put on. The craze was apparently passed on to overalls. Baggy pants with straps over your shoulders. Overalls should only be worn if you’re up to your waste in cow shit. Not loungin’ around your house or when you decide to go to the movies. There is literally NO point in these ‘onesies’. It makes me feel as if you had a house fire…but it was JUST in your closet and you just happened to fall asleep the night before wearing a one piece bathing suit that magically made you think it looked good to wear as a real-life outfit. THAT’S what these things are; it’s an oversized bathing suit, right? Honestly, you would be better off just taking scissors and cutting this man made modern overall in half. That way it would seem as if you’re just wearing matching shirt and pants. That brings me to think that rompers are almost like uniforms. Conforming to be wearing all one color, and no graphics or print will not help the situation out at all. I think you could almost wear your father’s XXL sweater and look better than rompin’ around in a romper. It’s literally baby clothes, but for adults. Does that make sense? Someone decided to be lazy enough to make their shirt tuck around their legs and go out like that and creation of the romper was made. It’s like you might as well wear a dress! That’d be better than a dress with a crotch region. ANOTHER thing these uniforms remind me of is snow clothes. This is where wearing something that’s all connected makes sense. You wouldn’t want snow to get in your pants or shirt, so you create something waterproof and seamed form your neck to ankles. Snow can’t get inside your clothes when you’re in California…at least that’s what I thought.
Shoes are used for mobility. They should be comfortable, affordable, and in some cases attractive to the eye. When I say attractive to the eye, I don’t mean a boot that resembles a horse hoof. What I’m referencing this to are Ugg boots. Girls use them to tuck into sweat pants, skinny jeans, or even your average bootcut jean. None of the above is appealing. Yes a bunch of suede and cotton stuffed into leather would be comfortable, if you want your foot to look swollen and overtaking your own body. The best one I’ve most recently witnessed were these boots, with tights and shorts riding up someone’s butt. You might as well have traveled to Alaska, because I’m sure the weather isn’t cold enough in Hollywood, California for this ‘winter-wear’, and now people are turning it into everyday-every season wear. If you’re going to go sledding with a bunch of friends and want to have something water proof, thick, and maybe something to drag your feet up a hill, these are the shoes for you. For those of you who think that think this trend is“okay”…not for everyone. On top of everything else, these boots are HUNDREDS of dollars. Yes, some say you pay for quality when it comes to clothes, or shoes, but for really only something that you might want to bring on Survivor. I pay fifty dollars for some Vans slip-ons that last me years. To me that represents quality. These critters strutting around town are just buying the SAME STYLE of shoe in every color imaginable. “Oh my gosh this one has buttons on it?!” Crazy. “These ones come in the following; beige, chocolate brown, tan, black, and even cream”. Talk about originality, half my graduating class owned probably two of the same looking boots. As mentioned earlier these boots are made for EXTREME WEATHER CONDITIONS ONLY. Not “let’s pretend we didn’t get ready and wear these hundred dollar boots with a pair of sweat pants.” The goat man posted above has a point, these shoes are made for self defense. You could probably break someone’s Pituitary gland. Another thing I to point out, does anyone remember Birkenstocks? These Ugg boots has that same effect on high school girls as the Birkenstocks. Everyone HAD to have them, who cares that Kohl’s sells the SAME style of shoe for thirty bucks. It’s NOT a Birkenstock without the name, right? This trend has expanded into Uggs and into an epidemic, something that every person should be aware of. Once and a while sure, but don’t pull a Miley and wear them stepping out of a limo with knee socks. On top of that with tights that look like a raccoon tried to battle you while wearing these hitch hiker shoes. Ugh is correct, Uggs are wrong.
