Scratchy sweater, anyone?
Citizen’s Arrest carried out by: Selina
Alleged Perp: Charlotte Ronson high waisted pencil skirt with zip
Hey, remember those scratchy sweaters some elderly relative would always give you for Christmas? They’d itch like mad, but you’d be forced to dutifully wear them at least once a year, just to be polite?
Well, they make just as ugly skirts, too, don’t they?
Verdict: Remanded into Fashion Police custody: bail set at $79.80, payable to Shopbop.

Denim joggers. De-nim jog-gers. Denim. Joggers.
No, it’s no use: no matter how you say it, it’s still appalling.
On a more positive note, it was heartening to find out that most of you are firmly against the “Wear sweatpants with heels! It’ll be totes stylish!” diktat handed down by UK Vogue this month. It gives us hope that no one will actually think denim joggers are a good idea either, with or without heels.
Can we rely on your support on this one, readers?

OK, we have to be honest: when we first read about Donna Karan’s Infinity Dress, our immediate thought was, “Hey, haven’t American Apparel been doing this for years?”
Well, yes they have, and so have many other retailers, we’re sure, so this isn’t a new idea, although it is an interesting one, particularly if you’re packing for a trip and have limited space in the ol’ suitcase. What’s different about Donna Karan’s version? Well, a shed-load of dollars for a start – you may be getting a range of different styles in one dress, but you’ll be paying $895 for them, which doesn’t exactly make this a budget buy.
For that price, you’re essentially getting a black jersey dress with straps which allow you to wear it in various different ways. The possibilities aren’t quite “infinite”, but you can see some of them above. So, what do you think? Worth $895 to you? If so, it’s available from Nordstrom and various other department stores.

Rihanna
Rihanna pulled yet another “look at me!” number out of the box at the American Music Awards this weekend, wearing this very structured Zac Posen dress. Well, we’re looking, Rihanna – we’re definitely looking. But what are we thinking, readers, that’s the question?
We’re mostly thinking it looks a bit like a lace doily that’s been starched and then wrapped around a Barbie. With a handy crumb-catcher at the front. We don’t actually hate it, though, although we have a feeling a lot of people will. Take a look at the other celebrity outfits in our gallery, and let us know what you think!

On Trial: Daisy Lowe
Is that a crafty version of a harem playsuit on Daisy Lowe? It certainly appears that way, doesn’t it Are we going to allow this kind of garment to walk free, then, readers, or do you think it’s actually perfectly fine, and deserving of a fashion reprieve? We will say that if anyone can make this outfit look good, Daisy Lowe is the surely the person to do it, although we do have “issues” with the whole “Window on my [squashed] breasts” thing, to, we must admit.
However. The evidence is before you, readers: will you convict or acquit Daisy Lowe of committing crimes of fashion?

You may have to look closely at the evidence before you, jurors, to see the problem with it. From the image on the left, we at first thought this cardigan had a kind of stylised heart design, but a quick look at the image on the right confirms that, no, that’s not the case: those are hands. Santa’s hands, to be precise. So this is basically a festive version of those “Hey, look! Someone has their hands on my breasts!” shirts you sometimes see.
This item was reported by Fashion Police reader Georgette, whose commentary was too funny not to share with you. Georgette says: “Wouldn’t you just LOVE to look like naughty old Santa has come up from behind you and taken a grab at your jumblies? No? I wouldn’t either. It’s called the “Mrs. Klaus” sweater. Because the very first thing that comes into my mind when I think Christmas spirit is how much Santa gets it on. Yeah.”
Well, exactly. Now we’re going to need brain bleach rather than eye bleach. If you just need the sweater, though, it’s $78 at Urban Outfitters.
