4 CLACKAMAS PRINT • APRIL 22.2015 Dressed to depress by Katie Archer and Lily Shaver Since their existence, men and women have always driven the other sex crazy. Sometimes good, other times not so good. Fashion is one that could fall under both categories. Even here at Clackamas Community College, both girls and guys have their fashion pet peeves about the other sex. Guys, want some fashion tips from girls around the campus here at CCC? Here’s how you can do better in their eyes as far as fashion goes. Girls fashion gone wild. What men do not approve of. Baby, its cold outside It’s totally acceptable to be cold in -12 degree temperatures and completely layered up. It’s different when it’s 32 degrees and a girl is dressed for 90 de gree weather. “When they wear almost nothing and complain about being cold,” said Chad Crader. He’s not the only guy to complain about this. James Jeffrey said, "Wearing skimpy clothes and complaining about being cold." Dress for the weather or don’t complain. Sloppy Joe “Wearing sweats daily, [makes guys look] like slumpls]?’ said Emily Muller. A majority of girls despise how guys wear baggy pants. Look put-together guys, no one wants to see your boxers. That 'just came out of the gym look’ It happens all the time. Instead of pulling on some tennis shoes, guys seem to love wearing their socks and sandals-everywhere. Hey, guys, this drives some girls mad. It's obvious you love the gym, but leave your after-work out socks and sandals at home. I see London, I see France, I see half your ass “Don't wear short skirts that only cov ers half your ass,” said Brendan Del- monico. “Leave something to the imag ination.” Igor Sotnikov said, “I don’t like when girls wear very short skirts.” Ladies, guys like to have some mystery when they look at women. Mystery is sexy. Let's not mix it up That camo shirt you just recently pur chased should not be thrown on with the striped shorts. Rebecca Polfus rec ommends not mixing the animal prints up either. Also avoid combining Adidas and Nike, suggests Jessica Jensen. Stick with the Levi’s Yes, it may come as a surprise to some, but those skinny jeans just don't make the cut. They may look good on girls, but that doesn't mean they also look good on guys. Skinny jeans are on Cassia Gessele's pet peeve list. Black out Haley Duval m entioned th a t she d id n't like it when guys wore black constantly. Wearing black all the time gets dull. Not to mention summer is coming. We all know black is the color that keeps you at a toasty temperature, so lay aside the black and go with some bright summer colors! Student shows his style with saggy pants. Other noteworthy fashion no-nos Some other fashions that could be avoided by the guys include wearing dress pants and a dirty shirt. Dude, either dress up or don't dress up, don't go halfway. Jenna Reed said "{I don't like] basically anything my 14-year-old brother wears.” This includes snap- backs and wearing the same thing ev ery day. Stay away from wearing long socks with slipper and a collared shirt So now you know. Try following this guide. Girls like a guy who’s got some good fashion going on! One size does NOT fit all Don’t listen to the tag that says, “One size fits all.” It’s one of the biggest lies wom en have believed. “Sometimes clothes shouldn’t be made in all sizes,” said Michael Hauser. “There are clothes that don’t flatter all sizes.” Find clothes that flatter the appropriate size because there is no such thing as one size fits all. Too much of a good thing: yoga pants Girls this was bound to come up. There is a time and place for everything, including yoga pants. “Yoga pants are worn way too much,” said Andrew Huffman. Yoga pants are great at the gym, for traveling or loung ing around watching Netflix on a Satur day. Fancy dinner? No. Rico Starr said, “Stretch pants that don’t fit,” are his pet peeve. Yoga pants only look good if they fit regardless of size. Yoga pants are a popular clothing choice for women on campus. Honorable mentions Going to the gym? That is a sacred place to sweat, smell bad and eventually look disgusting by the end of the work out. Nicholas Morris said, “[At the gym] it’s ridiculous seeing girls in full make up and wearing stuff that they would wear to dinner.” Heading to the gym after the work is done or having to get ready for your job at the gym is one thing. It’s quite another to put on fake eyelashes, lipstick and fancy hair just for working out. College is a great time to experiment with just about anything and is a time in life where unnatural colored hair is mostly acceptable. Use caution on how much color is used. William Wimsatt said, “Not natural hair colors, like pink, a whole lot of pink." Wimsatt doesn’t find unnatural colors attractive. If a lady is thinking about trying an unnatural hair color, try only a piece of the hair and not the whole head.
