Back in the days before leggings became commonplace again, and sock horrors had yet to achieve the sheer level of ugliness they so easily attain these days, came the stirrup tights. Note the phrase "tights" – these aren't leggings you're looking at, they're hosiery. Flesh coloured hosiery. With a stirrup on the bottom.
Presumably designed to allow us to keep our legs respectably covered (perhaps for the office?) while still allowing our feet to breathe, The Fashion Police were unconvinced that there could ever be a good reason for them to even consider wearing this. And we still are – unconvinced, that is. Are you?
"As with everything, both good and bad, from the '80s, crop tops seem to be everywhere these days. Crop tops seem like the most simple do-it-yourself: take a Hanes T-shirt, cut it to tummy-baring length. So why stores are selling these shirts for hundreds of dollars is beyond me.
Unfortunately, that's not the problem here. I found this Coral Petal Top, which is fine… until you get a closer look at what it's paired with. No, your eyes are not playing tricks on you; the model is wearing the shirt on top of what appears to be drop-crotch overalls. The belt doesn't even begin to save this look.
The cherry on top is how the model is striking such a "look-at-me" pose. I'm not so sure I'd be as confident as she is in that outfit.
But, if you wanna strike a pose too, you can find the Coral Petal Top for $88 at Pixie Market.com."

What was that we were saying about the imminent sack dress revival? Here's further proof, in the saggy shape of Topshop's denim pocket tunic, which would actually make a good uniform for the inmates of the Fashion Police jail, now we come to think of it: utilitarian, made of hard-wearing denim, completely joyless to wear… Maybe we should put in a bulk order?
If any civilians out there would like to try this, it's £40, and you can buy it here. Just be ready for all of the knowing glances and questions about when you're "due"…
Because getting FULLY dressed in the morning is SO HARD, and pulling on a weird little "half suit" is just a kazillion times easier, isn't it?
Designed for those who work from home, but have to take part in pesky video conferences, the Half Suit was the sartorial equivalent of the mullet: business on top, party under the table. This guy could be wearing shants and Crocs on his lower body for all we know. Which would admittedly lead to some fun times if he suddenly had to answer the door.
We arrested the Half Suit back in 2006, and since then we haven't heard of a single instance of someone actually wearing it. Guess it didn't turn out to be such a great idea after all, then?

"As the great Coco Chanel once said ‘I don’t do fashion. I am fashion’
This little quote got me thinking about the world of fashion, and how it relates to me personally. I think that a person’s sense of style, the clothes they wear, and the way they shop can tell you a lot about them. It’s true that our sense of style is a major reflection of who we are. I always seem to notice that bright and happy people are always dressed super cute, and fun. And people who are really confident and outgoing, often make very bold fashion choices too.
Which made me wonder, just how much is fashion connected to other areas of our lives?

I love Matt & Nat bags. They are a stylish alternative to your typical leather bag. They are 100% vegan – no animal products or by-products are used. The designers have done a good job of staying current with their designs, using fun colors, and offering a variety of shapes and sizes. I really like the same-tone stitching and bold, sturdy hardware. The crinkled exterior adds texture and uniqueness. The best part is getting a great bag at a reasonable cost. Their bags range from $165 to $350. Here are few of my favorites, and you can visit Matt & Nat here.

Remember a few years back, when "boho" was the fashion craze of the day (Yeah, thanks for that, Sienna Miller, we owe you one!), and everyone was walking around in gypsy skirt and wide, low slung belts? (And ponchos, but let's not even think about that whole "poncho" thing – it's taken us years to get over it…)
Never in our wildest dreams did we ever imagine it could get THIS BAD. Never did we think that one day we would come face-to-face – or rather "face to crotch" – with an item of clothing described as "boho harem pants". And even if we HAD tried to imagine such a thing, we don't think we could have pictured the full horror of these things.
But readers, the day has come when boho harem pants walk among us. And not even The Fashion Police can save you from them. Don't have nightmares…

I enjoy fun, colorful stockings and leggings as a way to add character to an ensemble. But, who knows what type of fashionista UpFactory had in mind when creating these anatomically-inspired stockings. I have a hard time picturing them being worn outside of a Halloween celebration. If these stockings tickle your fancy, they are available here for 41€.
