I’ve seen a frightening number of girls walking around recently wearing a combo of sweatbands, short shorts and cowboy boots. Please, pretty please tell me these are just isolated idiots and that this isn’t some new trend?

Sigh, I’ve noticed it too. My daughter just bought cowboy boots. She says they’re way cooler than Uggs (I agree). I think this is a new trend, sorry.
I haven’t seen this yet… and why haven’t I? That sounds hot :P
ok. i am glad you brought this up. really glad. i thought i was the only one who thought this is the dumbest looking thing since trucker hats. i even started a site to document these transgressions(not live yet). anyways.
i work on melrose and sadly, this is not an isolated incident. it is very pervasive, as i see every day driving home from work.
here is an example of what we are talking about:

Fashion trends change, my friend. The beautiful people wear cowboy boots and short shorts. Check out what hil L.A. fashion labels are putting out now.
Right there on American Apparel’s site (thanks for the tip, above poster!)

Hmmm, looks an awful lot better than sweatpants and sweaty converse hitops.
What’s wrong with looking like Richard Simmons with cowboy boots?
blame it on american apparel trying to sell the short shorts. I recently had a conversation with a friend who wanted short shorts, and the first thing that came out of my mouth was american apparel. Trends come and go, nothing to worry about here. You can also blame the cobra snake for taking that picture.
Better than UG boots….
Swap out those boot for a pair of skates and you’ve got Rollergirl from “Boogie Nights.”

I saw a girl on my way to a morning class today wearing seatpants, a matching hoodie (both in tourquoise), with grey jersey short shorts over the sweatpants. No cowboy boots, however.
That screech you here is my gut reaction to seeing the words “American” and “Apparel” close to each other and close to the word “fashion.”
Repeat after me: tube socks are not a brilliant fashion invention.
Dressing women like oversexed teens is not a brilliant artistic statement or positive embracing of sexuality. Dressing teens like oversexed teens isn’t either.
Cowboy boots are better than ugs – but striped gym socks are idiotic and just plump American Apparel’s profits.
Way to buy it, kids.
I’d wear it!
Who cares what women wear? are you a woman hater? All your negative fashion posts are actually thinly veiled woman hating rants.
Aw crap! Reality found me out. It’s true, I hate women. Damn them, damn them all to hell!
