Summer is in full swing and as much as I love the weather, there’s something I absolutely cannot stand about warm temperatures and that’s the sight of so much flabby flesh coupled with too many unfortunate fashion choices. British pop star Lily Allen is a walking faux pas here and I’m not talking about the fluorescent hair and nails. She’s supposed to be cool, so she shouldn’t look conventional.
Where the conventionality kicks in, unfortunately, is with her all too common fashion mistakes. The choice of clothing only serves to accentuate the negative aspects of her physique. Lily has a sizable belly and heavy legs and is emphasizing these less than ideal proportions by a denim skirt that is worn too low and is cut too short. Second, she’s wearing sneakers which are never flattering to begin with and should only be worn when exercising. In this case, they do nothing to lengthen her short stature. Also, she isn’t wearing any socks. Why? That is just gross. I’ve seen this quite a bit, especially among joggers to my great dismay, and I just don’t get it. All I can think about is sweaty, smelly feet.
Lastly, and I know they are everywhere, are the visible bra straps. I realize they’ve become a staple, but they should never have done so. Why? Because they are unflattering. They are distracting from the top being worn and they look sloppy. Plus, there’s nothing worse than when they’re dirty. If someone is going to let her bra hang out, she should at least launder it. I can’t speak for the cleanliness of Lily’s bra here, but overall, she’s a billboard for fashion dont’s.
