Anonymous, disparaging trends is a favourite past time of ours here on the Chicklit blog. It's like a sport, no?

Just because they are not to your tastes is no reason to disparage them. Nothing is worse than adult women trying to look and dress like teenagers which seems to be the trend. This is what happens when the fashion industry holds up teens and twenty somethings as arbitors of taste, style and fashion.

It depends on the wearer and the proportions. If the wearer likes the statement being made then - your point is?! People dress and accessorize to please themselves and to avoid being naked and in order to have a place to put their car keys :) Presuming they are old enough to drive and or reach the pedals.
