Fergie Falls Victim to the High-Waisted Trend

Filed under: Clothing, Jeans, Celebrities with Style, Celebrity Fashion Mistakes

Fergie recently appeared on MTV's TRL to promote her new single, 'Big Girls Don't Cry.' It all should have gone very smoothly, but -- oh, dear -- Fergie had to go and break my heart by wearing those ridiculous high-waisted pants. As if the strange length wasn't bad enough, they were a suspender/pant combo (which seems to be a trend for her). No need for the suspenders, Fergie, 'cause pants that high aren't going to fall any time soon.

So what do you all think of this latest celeb trend? I find that it's extremely unflattering on most figures and if Fergie can barely pull it off, what does that mean for the rest of us?

"Mom jeans" making a comeback

Filed under: Clothing, Jeans, Celebrities with Style

This is the last thing I thought would get recycled and become trendy again. The high-waisted pants made famous (or infamous) by the mock JCPenny commercial SNL did a few years ago have been seen on a number of celebrities, causing many to proclaim they're back in fashion.

But wait -- mom jeans were never in fashion, so how did this happen?

The '90s have returned with a vengeance, so maybe, maybe, a pair of fitted, high-waisted pants would look good on an ultra-slender runway model. But even stars like Jessica Simpson look frumpy in jeans with a 9 inch zipper that stops halfway up their stomach.

In short, don't try it, you will look dumb.
