ModernGear Fashion: An accident waiting to happen

Back in May of last year I wrote a post about Fashion Fix-It products, like the great Embrace in Place fashion tape. I think it's safe to say the following celebrities do NOT read my blog. Or if they do, they just don't want to take my advice.

As fashionable as she is, Posh really ought to know better. Instead, she has passed this little "tip" onto Eva Longoria.


Hilary Duff wears her jeans about a foot too long, as well.

Oh no, J. Lo!

Kate Moss, paragon of style??

People, someone is going to get hurt. It might be Angelina Jolie, or even Jennifer Aniston.

And if looks like Rachel Bilson is awfully close to the danger as well.

So what's the big deal? Well, first of all, it just looks dumb. Are they wearing shoes, are they not? How fabulous are the shoes, we wonder? Do they think it elongates the leg line? Well, it does that alright but at the expense of the foot. It's just all-around weird in a fashion sense. So not a "done" and put-together look, at all. Take expensive designer clothes, and just ruins them.

And then there's the whole safety aspect - I don't know about you but I look at pants that long and automatically my mind fast-forwards to the inevitable trip-up on stairs (or gasp! the red carpet) and subsequent bloody noses and the like.

Determined to go long against all odds? Don't come crying to me when you're in a cast. Do NOT take the fact that a lot of the jeans are pictured on web shops with dangerously long legs (like these)

Miss Sixty Jones Jeans, $269

and these:

J Brand Lovestory Bell Bottom Rigid Jean, $187

and maybe even these:

Habitual Standard Glory Bootcut Jeans in Eventide, $198

and these are bordering on too long, but one wash and they'd probably be fine...

Anlo Liza Trouser Jean, $207

as a fact that this tremendous fashion faux pas is acceptable, or safe.

My advice is this: no matter what the trend in denim this spring/summer - skinny, wide, sailor, torn, boyfriend (see below) - pre-wash the suckers and get thee to a tailor before you step out in them.
