..’=.T'S NOT . . .
but you'll never wear these items more than once Without looking like a 2004 has-been.
Ponchos They‘ve had plenty chances to be cool already. and while they may be a great cover-all. they do. unfortunately. make the less skeletal among us look even bigger than we already are. And that's never good.
Ugg boots When they were exclusive. they were great. But when you catch yourself eyeing up the pale pink pair in the window of that discount shoe store. then stop yourself. They may well hit the sale racks this January. but please, leave them there. For Ugg. it's over.
Yellow It was the colour of the summer. It disappeared in the winter. and hopefully it will remain a distant memory come next spring. Lurking in the bottom of the bargain bins is where those sun-hued clothes and accessories must stay. What were we thinking of? It‘s not a flattering colour for anyone.
Distressed suit jackets Guys, please smarten up. These horrible ripped, distressed, faux vintage jackets, with threads hanging off them are not cool. Not with jeans. not with matching trousers. not with anything. They will undoubtedly be cheap in the sales, but then that‘s how they always looked. 2005 for blokes is all about tailoring and looking smart. Leave them alone. For Christ‘s sake. Please.
Capes These were a huge trend in the latter part of 2004, but rate very low in the practicality stakes. The little chiffon ones slide about all over the place whenever you move. Cape in your mulled wine. Cape in your Christmas dinner. Not a good idea. And as far as the larger ones go. see ponchos, above.
