What's Not 2010.

At the beginning of a new decade I think we should compile a list of items and styles that should be left in the past. This list is only a sample and contains some items that we have frowned at in the past but remain with us still as well as some new ones to scorn in the future.




1. Fluoro - I would like to make this perfectly clear, fluoro is unacceptable, it has been since the 80's, if you want to have a fluoro party for yourself and your unfortunate friends, do it, but don’t wear it in public.




2. Oakley Sunglasses - making people unattractive since 1975. These glasses have somehow become popular over the past 35 years amongst Bogans, with some limited edition frames going for 4k! Oakley eyewear should be reduced to ski goggles and motorcycle goggles, the end.



3. wearing running shoes as casual shoes - This one is a big pet peeve of mine, and includes Dunlop volleys! It’s even worse when you see people wearing them in nightclubs, thankfully some nightclubs have dress standards to avoid this. When you can buy cheap shoes for under 10 dollars or even a pair of thongs!



4. Crocs - I don’t think I need to explain this further...


5. Cartoon character Ties - it may be cute when your child gives you one for father’s day but don’t wear it to the office, its inappropriate and defeats the purpose of formal business attire.


6. Rats tails - I have seen a decrease in this little gem, but when I do see them I wish I carried around a pair of scissors so I could just cut it off.



7. Three Quarter Cargo pants - somehow companies that make these are still in business. They are too short to be pants and too long to be shorts and just too awful to be worn.


8. Wide leg/baggy jeans - they don’t flatter anyone, these are the masculine equivalent of the jeans that some 'women' wear that are tight and then have a massive flare. Try buying some more fitted denim!



9. White dress shoes with a white belt - a favourite amongst young club goers, this combination should only be worn if your whole outfit is white.

  1. OH why pick on the humble VOLLEY?????

    Crocs on the other hand, a line from the movie FIRED UP said it all "you are not an old woman gardening or a baby on the beach..wear some real shoes!"
