Do you know about worst fashion? I have been shopping for some new clothes for the coming Fall season and I have found some shocking clothes. Specifically, I was after a dress to wear to a wedding that I could also wear on other occasions. I was after simple and elegant with no frills or overlay fabrics.

Do you have an experience of online shopping? Yes, I have been online shopping from my comfy couch and have visited different stores web sites. The ones I have visited include macys.com, jcpenny.com, Nordstrom.com and landsend.com.  I have seen some beautiful clothes but I have also seen some dreadful clothes. I would not be seen inside or outside my home in them.

I was looking for a nice unassuming dress or outfit for the warmer Fall weather. I didn’t want anything fussy or that I would need to dry clean and something I could see myself wearing to other outings not just my friend’s wedding. I wanted a plain but fashionable, wearable dress and came upon this creation from jcpenny.com.

This was listed as a mother of the bride dress or as a brides dress. It is so fussy; can you imagine trying to keep it looking nice on a warm Fall day? All of those frilly bits would drive me mad. I don’t think I would ever wear it to a wedding or anything else for that matter. It reminds me of a dressing gown. One of those chenille ones with all the lines running across it like my Granny used to wear.

There were several other dresses, one was an off the shoulder but only on one side. It looked a bit like a togas from Roman times and I could not see myself wearing it either.

Next I tried Nordstrom.com to see what sort of outfit or dress I could find. I came across a pair of checked flared slacks. Not sure who was going to wear them but I certainly wasn’t. I was thinking of maybe a nice pair of slacks and a cool top but these were not my style. I am not sure who would like them. I think checks are great on comfy flannel shirts for winter but not a pair of slacks for Fall.

I then noticed these new jeans that are coated. Some are coated to look like leather and there was one pair that looked the legs was wrapped in tin foil. Not a good look for this fall at all.

These jeans are all bunched up over her shoes and look uncomfortable. Maybe I could find a shirt to match and go as the Tin Man.

Sometimes I think new fashion is only made for the models because the average person is not going to wear it. Take the cut out styles for instance. I put all cut out clothing into a worst fashion list. This dress from Nordstrom was quite nice till I noticed it had cut outs at the top of the arms. It was a nice color and my style but for the cut out bits. Was there not enough material to finish it off? This is what I think of every time I see cut out clothing.

It even looks a bit matronly except for the cut outs. Not sure I would even like it with full sleeves.

Next shop on my list was macys.com. I was hopeful I could find something nice in fall fashion here. I was assailed by stripes. Not small subtle stripes, no wide bold stripes, like you see on toddlers jumpers.

This is a sweater dress and if I want to wear a sweater I usually wear it with slacks or jeans, not as a below the knee dress. There were short sweater dresses in bold colors again like your little cousin would wear when he was 3 years old. There were lots of dresses but the worst ones stood out over the better ones.

 

Well, my last stop for this shopping expedition was landsend.com. I was hopeful that I could find something nice here not just stand out worst designs. Maybe I am being picky but some of the new fashion for fall is not to my liking at all. I don’t mind bold colors but some of these are way out there.

I am not sure I will be able to find a nice outfit after all. I have been checking out landsend.com for a dress and all that has stood out again are worst fall fashion ideas. I have seen some nice clothes but the only ones that jump out of the page at me fall into the worst category. More check skirts and slacks but the one dress that stood out as worst fashion was this paprika colored number.

This was too boring for the fall season. I would look like a fallen leaf myself. This is such a dull color for clothes I don’t know why anyone would want a dress in it.

The fashion industry needs to take a good look at what fits the average person and choose nice colors for the designs. The worst fall fashions are either far too bold or shiny such as the metallic jeans or too bold with wide stripes that only look good on little boys less than 5 years old. Some of the fall fashions look good on the models but not everyone looks like a fashion model. The dresses are clingy and form fitted that is not going to suit a lot of women and do you no justice at all. The fuller figure dresses are a big like tents again with a belted waist. These fashions just cut you in half unless you are tall and slender and the size of a model.

For the latest fall fashion check out the store web sites but avoid the styles I have mentioned because they fit into the worst of fall fashion category.
