How many times have I heard women moan that they can’t wear maxi dresses or skirts? Too many. If you can wear a floor-length wedding, prom or evening gown — and anyone can, no matter what her height — that means you can wear floor-length, period. It just has to be the right cut to [...]

I found my own red-pants photo too late for yesterday’s post on red-legged bloggers, so it gets a special post. This was taken in Prague in 1999 or so. I’m a little demoralized to see how long I’ve been dependent on black t-shirts. I had those pants in black too. I gave away the red [...]

Ever since knickers showed up on my Never is the Next New Thing™ radar, I’ve been keeping an eye out for more examples. I already found a very wearable pair by J Brand. More recently, I noticed these Dolce & Gabbana pants from The Outnet. At first, I found the military details to be over [...]

My “Never Is the Next New Thing™”* fashion theory proposes that the most provocative/grating/startling looks — the ones that make you say, “I would NEVER wear that!” — are the ones most likely to become trends, big or small. We need to be jolted out of our fashion complacency before we move in a new [...]

Thanks to commenter Carrie for pointing out that director Lucy Walker’s vintage Ossie Clark dress made it onto Go Fug Yourself. Carrie remembered that I had re-posted this 2004 photo of myself last month. I read Go Fug Yourself from 2004 to 2006, when comments were regularly allowed (now they’re selectively allowed.) Commenters ranged from [...]

A gorgeous friend who is aware of my “Never is the next new thing™” fashion philosophy asked me last week what the next new thing would be. I said that I didn’t know because I didn’t see anything that would provoke the “I would NEVER wear that!” reaction that has predicted fashion trends including skinny [...]

In today’s Wall Street Journal, the delightful Rachel Dodes reports that leather shorts are hot, but not in the “too hot to wear in the summer” way. They’re hot as in “selling like hotcakes.” Rachel (with whom I’m acquainted) writes, “The new look made its runway debut last season in the shows of Chloe and [...]

I used to say, “Never say never” when it comes to fashion, but I’m taking it to the next level and declaring, “Never is the next new thing.” I’m convinced that the styles that are most hated at first — the ones that make people say, “Never!” — are the ones that are most loved [...]

Just goes to show you should never say never — because never is the next new thing! The Texas tuxedo is in fashion thanks to Chloe, Ralph Lauren and D&G, who all showed head-to-toe denim last year. The Gap is promoting its versions of the Chloe look. I keep admiring the ads in various magazines [...]

For the brave, fashion-forward souls who like the look of rolled-up jeans, I have another suggestion, in addition to the Acne Jeans that I pointed out last month. These sex-ay Current/Elliott boyfriend jeans are available at Singer 22 for $229. Want more choices? People Magazine identifies Katie Holmes’ jeans as Prps. Amanda Peet has Earnest [...]
