Skin-tight white.
Tight white pants show off everything. Capri and short versions show even more—and not in a flattering way. If you still have these in your closet, you need to either opt for a shape that gives you some more room or rethink the color. Anthropologie, J-Crew and many other retailers have some great, relaxed pairs for spring and summer. If the main fabric is spandex, chances are they need to be retired.
Getting rid of these items doesn’t mean you have to throw everything in the trash. Your booty shorts may be someone else’s Bermudas. So be a good samaritan and donate them to the Salvation Army or thrift shop. Because if you don’t, you won’t have room for that adorable spring dress you’ve been dying to buy.
So what do YOU love that you just can’t bear to part with? Savvy Miss Members share their comfort pieces.
“I have this extra large sweatshirt that was a guy’s that I was once seeing. I love it. It’s big, worn out and comfy. I feel like I am swimming in it, but it’s amazing!” Annie, 21
“Seasonal socks. Everyone from my friends to What Not to Wear says festive socks are a fashion no-no, but I don’t care. Pink Easter eggs and red Christmas wreaths on my feet make me happy. And it’s not like I’m showing them off; I hide them under my jeans!” Allie, 23
“I will never be able to get rid of my Juicy velour track suits. Despite being viewed as ‘sloppy,’ they are so comforting and cheer me up with their bright colors!” Lisa, 24
“My ‘Listen to Britney Spears’ T-shirt. It makes me laugh every time I put it on. Plus, it’s always a crowd favorite.” Jessica, 22

| I love my uggs. People HATE them, but they are sooo comfortable. But don't worry. I don't wear them with skirts. | |

Some people look good in skinny jeans, some don't. Some people look good in low rise pants, some don't. I think it only makes sense to follow fashion to a point where we still keep our own style and don't wear anything that doesn't look good on us. I just got back from Paris, and lots of women were wearing crop tops and low rise pants. Very, very stylishly. As long as you keep a good sense of what looks nice on you and what doesn't, I'd say don't worry about looking unfashionable in your low rise pants and crop tops. Just because now ruffled skirts are in style they won't look good on everyone. Be yourself! |

I agree with jzwest that some clothes look great on some, while others don't etc. My best friend can rock the skinny jeans, while I just feel silly. But I do feel that some things are just universally bad--low rise jeans with the plummer crack? I don't think there ever will be a time when this looks good. And I admit, I have crop tops too, but I wear them on vacation and they are new. But if I was trying to squeeze into my old hoochie shirts from seven years ago, that would be a different story... |
