How hot was it today? Alyssa Boehm reports on some guy she saw this morning:

... I spotted a rather hirsute gentleman walking towards me on Commonwealth Avenue. He was wearing very nice trousers and carried a small gym bag. Draped over the bag was his shirt.

That's how I knew he was hairy - no freakin' shirt!

Look, I'm willing to over look the shirtless look for many, but a middle-aged businessman walking from his gorgeous brownstone to his fancy car (honestly) was a little too much. ...

Miss M discusses the fashion train wreck who sat across from her on the bus this morning:

... Obviously, I am all for wearing shirts in public. And the lady's white blouse would have been perfectly acceptable except for one thing: The collar. Was popped.

The reason she looked so uncomfortable wasn't because I was staring at her. It was because she couldn't turn her head. Add in the sunglasses and the flashy shoes, and she was the definition of, "She's not wearing the outfit; the outfit is wearing her." ...

Bostonia Rantida lets loose on the young women of Newbury Street:

... I'm tired of idiot girls in giant sunglasses, unnecessary leggings, and giant name brand purses (what do you call them here? pocketbooks?)/shopping bags on their arms walking around like retards who can't seem to get the fuck out of the way for oncoming pedestrian traffic. ...

Sushiesque rues:

I was in Harvard Square on Friday when I saw a girl who appeared to be wearing a long knit shirt and vintage 80s stirrup pants. Upon closer inspection, they were not pants at all. It had only been spring for half a day and leggings had already begun to emerge from hibernation. ...

But she decides to do more than just curse the leggings: She comes up with a set of downloadable notices you can hand to the legging-afflicted.

Jayniek wonders:

... Why is every shirt in every store right now a maternity shirt? It's like the whole babydoll dress trend of '97... but even more horrible. I also hate ballet flats. ...

Harold M. Clemens discusses fashion role reversals:

... It's weird walking by white boys in unlaced tims, baggy jeans, fat hoodies, and oversized fitteds when I have on dress shoes, soft slacks, and silk dress shirts. I always glance at them curiously as I stroll by and they usually return the favor. It seems like they want to be just like us and we want to be just like them. Maybe it's a good thing- a sign of an impending thorough integration. The only wrench is they dress like us when it's cool, while we dress like them when it counts. ...

Jaynie warns:

... If you wear glaring hot pink lipstick at the gym, you should be shot dead. In front of all of the other gym-goers. With your body left as blatant evidence of what went wrong. ...
