    Default Fashion No-No's.

    # 1. Turtleneck sweaters


    Anybody wearing one of these is nowhere near as cool as they think they are.

    I know I did it on occasion in my wild and crazy youth, but I would not be seen in a coffin with sandals and socks anymore. Good choice.

    I'm not a fan of turtlenecks, but you can't unsexy the Giles.

    But what is the fashion criticism? Is it the leg-length and fit, or the wear and tear on the rear?

    Personally, I find the first forgivable, but the latter looks extremely tacky.

    The length, the (doubtless faux and purchased-that-way) wear, the denim overkill, the panty lines, the generally poor fit... there's basically nothing that's okay about that outfit.

    It's stubbornness. She's going to be sexy even if it costs her her legs to interrupted blood flow.

    I get the logic: discernible hips are good; double-hips = twice as good, but still!?

    As you wish: Here's a bunch of thumbnails of the various winners for the past 7 years of the "Stuck at the Prom" contest, from Duck Tape.

    Yes, that does mean that each and every garment shown on that page is made from duct tape.

    I'm not going to say that all of these outfits are fashion no-no's for style - but the idea of wearing what is basically an impermeable fabric for any event has to be a major no-no.
