In Norway ‘shell suits’ are called barbecue tuxedos – roughly translated.

Eww.
I agree with this list, but I think showing a G-string should definitely be number 1!

Congrats to the Fashion Police Officers for finding the best photo possible for this post: two crimes of fashion at once – both muffin top and g-string above jeans. Yey!

Emily, thanks for the suggestion. I did that and those shell suits are the equivalent of our nylon track suits here. Not cute either way.

Wait, what on earth do all those percentages mean?? Percent of people who have committed said crime, percent of votes, what? They add up to way more than 100%.

Gokarm and Kathleen: If you google ‘shell suit’ you can see images. Disturbing, disturbing images.
I’ve done #10. Kind of a lot. I now feel the urge to go to Target and expand my sock collection so I’m not always staring at a drawer full of white athletic socks as my only option for what to wear with my black sneakers.

I’m in the U.S. too and am not sure about #2, but I would guess that the shell suits are nylon track suits or something similar? Please correct me if I’m wrong though!

True in the states too…I don’t get #2 though, is that some brit slang?

Oh god, I’m sometimes guilty of Fashion Crime No. 6: the muffin top. The jeans fit everywhere else! Extenuating circumstances, m’lud.
