Five Trends We Don’t Need to See This Summer

11 Jul 2012 by sarah veness in Lifestyle, Local News / 1 Comment

As the nice weather finally starts rolling in, us Vancouverites begin to shed the scaly skin we’ve been avoiding for the past six months, slip on our sunglasses and spend more time outside doing the things we love. Unfortunately, with beautiful weather comes beautiful people wearing hideously unattractive outfits. Here is my top five list of things I don’t need to see gracing Granville Street, ever.

1. Booty Shorts

 

Let’s be serious here, there is never an appropriate time to have the lower half of your butt hanging out of hot pink short-shorts with “hawt stuff” bedazzled on the back.

2. Halter Tops

Admittedly this is something that can be done right, but why take the chance. There’s nothing wrong with a tasteful short shirt paired with some good pants, but more often than not, the trend is done so wrong we just need to let it die.

3. Harem Pants

 

I cannot think of another trend I have such a deep loathing for than harem pants.
