Filed under: Men, Daily Obsession

A model wearing the amazing Selk Bag in yellowLook, the Snuggie is fine for cheapskates who want to eat popcorn on the couch without cranking the thermostat up to a comfortable level, we get that.

September 11th Condoms - Tribute or Travesty?

Filed under: Style in the News, Men

two people on the street wearing condom costumesYes, you read that right -- a German entrepreneur with a highly warped sense of fashion ethics wants to use images of the Freedom Tower, built on ground zero, to promote his 9/11-themed condoms. In a move that's sure to draw some of the hate mail away from Bernie Madoff, Torsten Blueher has already applied for a federal trademark to use the tower on his new line of prophylactics featuring the words "Freedom Tower Make Love Not War."

Blake Lively at the Australia Premiere - StyleFoul!

Filed under: Clothing, Celebrity Fashion Mistakes

blake lively at the premier of australia

Blake Lively, in addition to being a Gossip Girl, is also a gorgeous girl. And at 21, it's appropriate for her to risk some kookier fashion choices. The young fashionista succeeds more often than she fails...but here, at the New York premiere of Baz Luhrmann's epic film Australia, she fails.

Style Foul: Julia Stiles at the "Quantum of Solace" premiere

Filed under: Celebrity Fashion Mistakes



Don't you hate when you forget there's a movie premiere to go to in an hour and you realize you've forgotten to do laundry for a week and are forced to grab something sorta shiny and not that dirty (but still majorly wrinkled) out of the hamper? Apparently, Julia Stiles -- who wore this granny-goes-to-Studio-54 ensemble to the "Quantum of Solace" premiere -- does, too.

Ashley Tisdale always plays the well-to-do (and well-dressed) girl, so we're really confused as to why she would choose to wear this atrocity at the German premiere of High School Musical 3. We have a few possible reasons in mind, though:

Brian Batt at Mad Men wrap party - Style Foul!

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



There's a reason you never hear the phrase "Lovely Man Flower." Bryan Batt, was kind enough to wear Exhibit A to the Mad Men season two wrap party, demonstrating that there's no such thing as a formal aloha floral pant.

Bryan's character Salvatore Romano is an art director with a secret. Here he's making no secret of his bad judgment. As much as we love a black and white pattern, it works better on a tie. Or curtains, which kind of makes sense when you learn that Bryan is also a interior designer. Maybe he just saw them in the window and had to have them.

Look, at this point we're just grateful he didn't buy the matching jacket. Thank you for small favors, Bryan!

Ashton Kutcher at The House Bunny premiere - StyleFoul!

Filed under: Celebrities with Style, Celebrity Fashion Mistakes


Oh, Ashton Kutcher, you perplex us. We love that you like a little bit of quirky fashion (although we're still a little upset about the trucker hat). And we smile at the fact that sometimes you play up the fact that Demi is totally robbing the cradle with you, but, when you attend the premiere of your stepdaughter's first big movie, do you really need to look like a teenager crashing the party? Even going so far as to openly ogle your date's (admittedly fabulous) ass?

We would have given you a pass on the striped shirt under the jacket. Yes, it's a little goofy, but you are at the premiere of The House Bunny, after all -- goofiness is practically required. In fact, we even kind of like it. The shoes, however, are a different matter.

WholesomeWear: lamest swimwear ever

Filed under: Clothing, Swimwear and Lingerie

Why succomb to skimpy swimwear that shows off your body, when you can instead opt for full-body water suits that "highlight the face."

Nothing says "I never plan to have sex" like a conservatively-cut, knee-length dress -- complete with a "spandex undergarment [that] fits like a bodysuit." The best part is -- these might even be easier to swim in than the floor-length black potato sack you wear when you're not "kickin' back poolside."

Just when you thought no one in the world would ever design clothing suited to your modest personal tastes, along comes WholesomeWear to save the day. So come on, gang, let's hit the beach!

StyleFoul: Paris Hilton and her dog in matching beach outfits

Filed under: Celebrities with Style, Celebrity Fashion Mistakes

I've never been a big fan of pets as a fashion accessories, and I've always been especially unimpressed with Paris Hilton's rodent in disguise.

But this marks a new low for Paris and her prissy pooch.

Apparently on her way to a beach that's stuck in 1998, the ex-con left the house in this weird leopard-print swim thing, and -- just in case she didn't already look dumb enough, she coordinated her outfit with Fido's.

Ewww.

I hope this means she'll be including the dog in all aspects of her life -- especially on her upcoming album. Nothing will be funnier than listening to Paris trying to sing while that mangy fur ball barks backing vocals. Awesome!

StyleFoul: Britney dressed as a cowgirl hooker

Filed under: Celebrities with Style, Celebrity Fashion Mistakes



Just when you started to think Britney was coming around. She'd been to rehab, she hadn't made headlines for partying like a crazed, drunken teenager in at a couple weeks, and rumor was she'd been getting back in shape.

Then she decides to head out for a night dressed like what has been aptly described as a "rodeo prostitute" outfit.

Don't get me wrong, if I'd spent thousands of dollars on personal trainers to make my stomach that flat, I'd want to show it off, too -- but who walks out of the house like that? Was she going to a costume party? Did she just forget to wear pants?

Although, I have to admit, that's a really nice pair of cowboy boots.

A fanny pack by any other name...

Filed under: Handbags, Accessories, Celebrity Fashion Mistakes

To wit: A fanny pack by any other name would still be just as lame.

The hipster kids over at American Apparel just rolled out a couple of new pieces for spring. Mostly, it's more of the same -- leggings, t-shirts, socks, headbands -- but there is one new item I thought I would point out: the fanny pack.

AA's new nylon Cordura fanny pack takes the old tourist classic and gives it a nominal face-lift. It's sleeker, and it doesn't have "Daytona Beach" written on it, so in a sense, these bags are slightly better than the fanny packs you might remember from 1988. But be forewarned, readers, a fanny pack is still a fanny pack even if it is made in Los Angeles by the cool kids who brought cotton back.

StyleFoul: Nightclub knickers

Filed under: Swimwear and Lingerie, Celebrities with Style, Celebrity Fashion Mistakes

Sienna Miller is known for her uneven fashion choices. More so than most, Sienna manages to either a) knock it out of the park or b) throw herself under the fashion bus. A case in point of "category b" was Sienna's outfit choice for the Factory Girl Premiere in New York last week.

Sporting a tickle-me-Elmo top with opaque tights and a pair of so-called nightclub knickers, Sienna looked more like a backstage chorus girl and less like a serious actress with on-screen bona fides. If there is any doubt about this point, might I point you to Anna Wintour's expression upon seeing Sienna Miller dressed like Gypsy Rose Lee's understudy. Not that Anna Wintour is the be all and end all of good taste, but one doesn't get to be the editor of Vogue by thinking that a pair of black granny panties are a DO.

Cyndi Lauper re-visited

Filed under: Style in the News, Clothing, Dresses, Celebrities with Style

Catherine Maladrino is a lovely woman, don't get me wrong. When she served as a guest judge on Project Runway, I was totally charmed by her snippy, "I can't believe Vincent made that awful dress" commentary.

Unfortunately, what goes around comes around, Catherine, because I honestly can't believe you made this dress.

This year, designers have been quite busy pouring out the proverbial drink for their Reagan-era homies, but this dress is taking 80s-inspired detail to a whole new level. The layered poofy skirt, the thin spaghetti straps, the button-up bodice, the embroidered detail -- it's just too "Girls just wanna have fun" for words.

Of course if you are trying to snag James Spader circa 1985, this dress would be the perfect bait.

StyleFoul: No pants, no dice

Filed under: Clothing, Men, Celebrity Fashion Mistakes

To the man in the hat: You remembered your top, your hat, your shoes, your socks, and you even seem to have remembered your tie. Great work on all of that, chap! We here at Styledash respect a man who can pull off a bowler.

But getting to the point of this letter, my friend....you seem to have forgotten the most important element of your outfit.

I'll just say it, bub -- forgetting your pants is a Style Foul. I know it. Those city workers behind you know it. And deep down, you know you know it too.

So next time you're thinking about leaving your trousers at home, resist that urge.

It's a no-no, and girls like me are totally going to call you on it.

Can you wear white in winter?

Filed under: Accessories, Shoes, Celebrity Fashion Mistakes

Growing up in the South, my mother insisted that wearing white before Memorial Day or after Labor Day was basically the worst faux pas I could make when it came to my clothes. (The poor woman, of course, never anticipated the very unfortunate Salvation Army phase I went through during my mid-teen years).

I've often wondered how and why this anti-white tradition got started. In my mind, white, especially winter-white looks smashing against the traditional fall colors, shades like chocolate brown and aubergine. Actually, the closest I came a sensible explanation for this fashion rule was actually more of a pragmatic justification than anything else: because white reflects light and heat, wearing white would make you cooler in winter. (No way?!?) Thus, white should be avoided in the cooler months.

What do you think? Is white in winter – a do or a don't?
