Would you wear… chain mail epaulets?

These chain mail epaulets were a Citizen’s Arrest by reader Alicia, who points out that Net-a-Porter have answered the question “What would you wear with these?” with “Harem pants, DUH!”

We can’t quite decide whether they’re something that could be quiet cool worn by the right person, in the right way… or whether they’re just completely ridiculous, especially for the “bargain” price of £410. So we’re going to leave that decision up to you, readers: would you wear these? If you would, you can buy them here.

pointy-hood-hat

Every so often, a “fashion crime” comes along that makes us think, “Wow! We really hope this catches on, purely for the humour value in seeing everyone walk around wearing it!”

Topshop’s pointy hood hat is one of those items. Just imagine the sight of a street full of people, all wearing tall, pointed bishop’s hats, and perhaps looking a little bit like they might have tall, pointy heads underneath. Awesome.

If you want to join in the fun, these are £16 from Topshop.

Unusual rings by Betony Vernon

betony-vernon-rings

The Fashion Police have been loving the current trend for huge cocktail rings, and “the bigger, the better” tends to be our motto. But we’re just not sure about these ones by Betony Vernon, which will make you look like you have a small furry animal perching on your finger at best, and prevent you using said appendage at worst – or it certainly looks that way, anyway.

What do you think of these? Would you wear them? If so, you’ll find them at Colette, where you can expect to pay anything from £370 up.

Barracuda-Glasses

If Lady Gaga doesn’t already own these, she totally should.

If you’d like to own them too, they’re $352 at Karmaloop.

human-tooth-rings

Fancy wearing someone’s teeth on your fingers, readers? Oh, come on! Around your neck, then? Still no? Well, Australian silversmith Polly van der Glas is giving us the opportunity to just that with her selection of rings and necklaces featuring real human teeth (donated and sterilized), and other items, including pendants and earrings made from human hair.

Well, they’ll certainly be a talking point, won’t they?

For more information, or to enquire about purchasing one of these, visit Polly’s website here.

kate-spade-necklaceSheesh.

Now, we’re guessing most of you have probably noticed by now that your Fashion Police aren’t averse to the odd bow or two. Or, you know, seven. This Kate Spade necklace, though? Too much. Even for us. And we tend to think it’s enough to decorate your tree and gifts this Christmas – you don’t have to decorate yourself, too. Or not in the same way you’re wrapping your parcels, anyway.

Do you agree? Or would you just love to wrap yourself in this? If you would, it’s $125 from the Kate Spade website.

Erickson-Beamon-headbandWell, it’s certainly pretty, we’ll give it that.

£760 / $1,260 worth of “pretty”, though? For a HEADBAND?

Um, no. And also: wow.

Feel like splashing some serious cash? Get it at Net-a-Porter.

tom-ford-nikita-sunglasses

We have a feeling this may not be a popular opinion, but… we still kinda love these Tom Ford ‘Nikita’ sunglasses. They make a nice change from all of the bug-eye and aviator styles that’ve dominated the past few years (not that we don’t love those, too, mind you: The Fashion Police are sunglasses junkies), and they have a nice little retro twist to them, too, which is always appreciated round these here parts.

Daylight Robbery: Pink bracelets by Luis Morais

pink-bracelets

“Iconic” and “spiritual” are the two words the people at Colette feel best describe these pink bracelets by Luis Morais.

Given that the bracelets in question retail for £787 / $1285, we’d like to suggest two more words. They are: “daylight” and “robbery”. The fact that the clover detail is 18c gold doesn’t change our assesment of that, either.

Anyone like to suggest any more?

Spot the Designer beanie hat

beanie-hats

The Dress Like a Toddler Trend strikes again!

Today, though, we’re not here to discuss whether or not adults should be wearing cuddly animals on their heads: we’re here to find out if you can guess which of the two items above is a designer hat, and which is from a high street chain. And while we’re on the subject, which one do you prefer, assuming you’d wear either of them?

Check back tomorrow for the answer!

[EDIT: or take a look below the jump for the answer, which has now been added!]
