The Clothes I Hate: Volume 1

The Clothes I Hate: Volume 1

Now I tend to be a pretty positive person. Happy and such but there are some pieces of clothing or stylistic choices I just hate. Pieces that don't flatter anyone, outfits I thought were unwritten "no-no's" and things that simply make no sense. So today, we begin a new series of posts consisting of all the clothes I hate.

The Clothes I Hate: Volume 1 - Vests

I really don't understand vests... at all. Everyone's like "Oh this toasty, cozy vest is so warm and stuff" but all I see is a jacket with no sleeves. What good does that do on a cold day? This excludes fancy man vests. Those are just to look fancy at work and at black tie events so we're not going to think about those in this volume.

The History of my Hatred: It could be the fact that I live in a cold climate and I've never experienced a need to warm my torso while letting my terribly warm arms take in the arctic wind! But I first realized I hated vests when I went in to my outdoor work area on a chilly October morning (Trust me, it's cold then) and I see my coworker wearing the sleeveless uniform shirt... and a vest. What? Zero sense was made that day.

At this moment you might be thinking "Blaire, that is not enough reason to hate vests" Well let me count the ways pour vous.

The Puffy Vest: They give me a socks and sandles vibe (And I know that is an unwritten rule everybody knows!) It's either warm enough for one or cold enough for the other, never both! I don't know about you but like the rest of my body, my arms are affected by the temperature too. Typically, affected the same amount as my torso. So why does my torso get a nice cozy hug while my arms are completely neglected and fall off from hypothermia? 

The Denim Vest: The Denim vest shouldn't even be considered an article of clothing. If anything, it's an accessory that like the puffy vest, makes no sense to me. I find it a try hard piece. Like "Look at my denim vest with fringe and a leather patch! I am so totally a rocker chick!" or "Look at my peace sign button on my denim vest! I am so totally a hippie!" No. It's a jean jacket with no sleeves that gets dressed up to exaggerate a personality.

The Fur Vest: Last but not least, the root of my madness! I had recently come across this lovely fur vest in my house. And the fur vest reminds me of everything but what I'm sure the wearer wants me to perceive.

I don't mean to offend anyone. If I insulted you're love if vests then I am very sorry. I won't judge you. But I just don't like vests and I wanted to share that with you.
