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!

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.
