I mean come on! I know fashions come and go, but sometimes, some should be left on the ash heap of history. Among these are obviously, bell bottoms…
Flock of Seagulls haircuts…
And of course plaid knickers.
But of all of these obnoxious articles, there’s one that’s more subversive. More repulsive, and altogether more offenses to the ocular senses.
The Jean Jacket
Look, even Alec Baldwin can’t make it cool.
The problem with it is that it seems like it isn’t that bad. It’s easy to think of plenty of cool people that have worn them over the years. But it doesn’t hold. They don’t stand up, and now matter how hard you try, or how much chest hear you fluff up from out of the collar of it, you’re still a douche.
You can sit on a Harley, or lean against a brick wall, but you’re still just one step away just one step away from getting four of your most harmonious friends and start learning some dance choreography.
And if you’re still on the fence… saying to yourself, no, if you just get the right level of dye, and you’re good looking enough, and talented enough, and rich enough, maybe - just maybe - you can pull it off.
Then I leave you with this:
Am I right?
You tell me.
