The Hot Trendy Chic and Tacky Modern Fashion in Pants

Fashion has taken a turn for the worse, and crashed in someone's living room. These aren't top dollar items either; they're middle-of-the-road, modestly priced articles of clothing so you know they've taken cues from the more expensive designers.  And they're all on ModCloth! I used to covet every other dress and necklace they'd feature in their "New Arrivals" page. It is with a heavy heart that I tell you they can no longer be trusted. I don't know what about these pants GRABBED them in such a way that demanded they stock their warehouse with them. Is "hammer time" an inside joke in the fashion industry?

 These are called "Fashion Student Pants". How stuck up is that?

For only $39.99, you can sport baggy anorexic chic style in your "Ideal in Every Way" pants.

The "Half-way There Jeans in Long". Perfect for wading in the muddy Swamps of Sadness crying out "Artax! You'll die! Move, please!" You'll get bonus caucasian points for wearing them with your dad's penny-loafers.

"All the Livelong Day" implies that these have a railroadesque quality, right? Umm, okay. Here's he deal. If you ever wear pants that go up past your belly button, you automatically become 80 years old (at least) OR a toddler. Either way, instead of workin' on the railroad, it looks like you've been workin' on making a poopie. You could use it to get a discount at the movies, right? Yay, fashion! You're so fucking relevant!

Oh, honey. You are clearly the victim of bad advice. See, fashion industry? Time to give up the inside jokes because it's affecting peoples lives. Everything about this girl is wrong. Even she has uncertain posture - trust that gut feeling, sweetie. It won't lie to you, unlike your cruel friends and the runway trends that show up in blogs but have virtually no translation to real, everyday wardrobe picks.

Now. If you're about to leave some comment like aw, i think theyre cute!! i wish i could own a pair of those! then here's a quiz. If you can tell if this photo was from the 80s or 2010s, I give up. At life.

Why should I tell you? THERE'S NO DIFFERENCE.
