‘You are being unnecessarily dramatic’: Dentist refuses to attend brother’s wedding because she doesn’t like off-the-shoulder dresses

Wedding attire is often a contentious concept, though it really shouldn’t be. Don’t wear white if you’re not the bride, and keep it formal. End of story. But there are so many rules and gradations of rules that everyone gets a little crazy. There’s a whole subreddit dedicated to wedding fashion advice, and it gets heated. But in my mind, it’s on the bride and groom …

‘Monster high students’: Goth teenager arrives at prom in a casket, commenters lose their minds

If you’re more than a few years out from high school like me, you might have forgotten that it is indeed prom season. Teens are arriving at their gymnasiums in jewel-toned mermaid gowns, trying not to sweat through their blowout while dancing to «Get Low» (or whatever teenagers listen to now), and wondering if they’ll go to Denny’s afterward. It’s a magical night. But more than …

‘Only an insecure person would do this their infant’: Mom glues tiny bows to her bald baby daughter’s heads, gets dragged through the mud

Nobody is free of the gendered expectations of society. Even if you are a baldheaded baby with no real identity outside of loving mommy and proudly pooping your pants, you are expected to act and look in accordance with your gender. If a baby boy has long hair, people will say he looks like a …

‘Having war flashbacks to 5th grade’: Millennial and Gen Z fashionistas freak out over the return of Y2K style at Urban Outfitters

What goes around most definitely comes around. Especially when it comes to fashion. I remember showing my mom a pair of acid-washed shorts and a neon pink tank top I wanted to wear to a birthday party in 8th grade and being confused when she responded with shock and horror. To me, it was trendy and fun. …

The way we dress ourselves is a very personal thing, whether we care about fashion or not.

Boneheaded dude claims all women look bad in baggy jeans, uses cousin as an example: ‘And tagged them in the post’

There’s nothing women love more than random men on the internet telling them they disapprove of what they’re doing. Especially what they’re wearing. It’s a long-held truth that the unprompted opinions of loser-y guys on Facebook dictate trends in women’s fashion. It’s how Coco Chanel invented the little black dress. Some guy wrote a column …

They say that what goes around comes back around, so it follows that the girls are flocking to their grandmother’s closets for inspiration.

‘They are more sinister and unhinged than you can possibly imagine’: Two Ivy League Egyptologists convince the Internet they might be vampires

I am a huge proponent of dressing a little ~differently~. I love eccentric fashion, bold choices, and alienating the public with your look. As humans, we forget that we have the agency to do whatever we want. If we wanted to wear a bowler hat every day for the rest of our lives, we could. …
