December (winter season)

I have three matters to discuss this evening.

First and foremost - leggings. I saw a couple friends of mine (girls, or course) on Facebook joined a group called "leggings are not pants" - the point of the group is to emphasize that leggings should only be worn under skirts or whatever. Horeshit. Leggings are pants. Leggings seem to be the big trend this winter, at least here in Seoul. Wearing leggings under a skit or dress is essentially the same as wearing jeans under a skirt or dress - lame. Leggings are pants. Pants and skirts are not combinable in the same outfit. Choose a fucking side, or at minimum, choose a fucking outfit.

Second - glasses. Glasses are to be used (pay close attention here, hipsters) for one purpose and one purpose only - if you can't fucking see. I got drunk at the bar last night and took to stealing glasses (something I have a history of doing) and found that, in my unscientific random sample, one of every three pairs of glasses are there solely for fashion. Glasses aren't fashionable. Glasses are for nerds. Nerds aren't cool. They only time people should where glasses is if they're too poor to get corrective surgery.

Finally - the 90s. As in the Witter Style. I'm bringing it back, singlehandedly if I have to. Wearing a long sleeve collared shirt with a cool (non-white, non-ironic) T shirt is an awesome look. Not as awesome as girls wearing midriff shirts, but as awesome a look somebody can pull off while at the same time being a dude. Follow me here. I'm right.
