StyleFoul: tight-legged overalls
Filed under: Fashion, News, Best of the Season, Denim
Waiting room time, as everyone knows, is wasted time, so my thought is why not waste it in the most pleasant possible way? And by that I mean, reading the fashion mags I never allow myself to buy, like CosmoGirl or Good Housekeeping for instance. Well, in one issue of CosmoGirl, there was an interesting editorial fashion feature involving opposite-inspired outfits -- long and short, tight and baggy, colorful and neutral. You get the picture, right?Anyway, one of the suggested outfits included a pair of Levi's overalls with legging-like trousers. Or really, I guess you could describe the piece as leggings with straps if you want to be precise. Needless to say, I found these pants to be utterly ridiculous and completely unflattering. Isn't bagginess the whole point of overalls in the first place? You wear them, you eat a huge meal and you spend the rest of the day not worrying about sucking in your stomach. But these overalls conceal nothing! In fact, they look like costumes for a dance-interpretation of Rodgers and Hammerstein's musical, "Oklahoma!"
Ergo, unless your name is "Curly" or "Judd Fry", please avoid these overalls...
