So unless you’re a runway model or actually ride a Harley to work, keep your biker chick details to a minimum.
10. Furry Vests
The fur vest is being touted as the statement piece for Fall/Winter 2009. It comes in real or faux, long or short, in black, white, brown, and everything in between. Fashion icon Kate Moss has been sporting this look for some time now—and pulling it off the way only she can do (we admit it, we’re jealous). Recently, fur vests have made their way onto the frail bodies of young Hollywood, so it probably won’t be long before department stores jump on the bandwagon.
I like vests. I even like fur (faux, of course!). But something about this combo reminds me too much of a medieval hair shirt, and I’m just not in the mood for punishment.
We realize fashion is somewhat subjective, so we don’t expect you to agree with our scathing assessment of this season’s trends. But whether you cringe at the sight of laddered tights or can’t wait to get your hands on a pair, I think we can all agree on one thing: none of these looks are appropriate for the office.
