Clothes: everybody knows them, many like them, and most of it is either pretty good looking or at least useful. Unfortunately, there is a lot of really dumb clothing around that should never have been made. This is a thread to explore these fashion disasters. To begin I will present one of the most idiotic yet unfortunately most iconic garments of my home country, germany. The Lederhose:  Leather has been used to make clothing for as long as humans have been around, yet it needs the special mind of a bavarian to produce something as idiotic looking as a lederhosen. Even this strapping young lad can't pull it off. Other honorable mentions are the Justin Bieber "pooped my" pants  The zoot suits, which as far as I'm aware was a thing during WW2 to brag that you could afford fabric (a luxury at the time)  and this shameful memory of middle school, when for a short 2 months or so these trainers were popular.  The deal with these was that you could open all of these buttons and thus pull them off in a second. AFAIK they are known as stripper pants in the US, but here in germany they are still refered to all "Schnellficker Hosen" or fast loving pants, because, well, you could. Please share other clothing that has either not withstood the test of time or was just dumb to begin with.

Tracksuit pants with buttons like that were popular in the UK when I was in high school. I expect they started as a way for athletes on the sub benches to keep warm before being sent on pitch, but the civilian versions we had only had buttons up to hip level, which meant other kids couldn't rip them off you, but also rendered them pointless. They were drafty in winter and the buttons got hot in summer.

The simple striped adidas was the height of tracksuits, everything beyond is mere flight of fancy

YeahTubaMike posted:I forgot about those, ugh. Right? I never got what the point or appeal was supposed to be. normally saggy clothing allows for more freedom of movement, but these actually look like they'd be more cumbersome. bitterandtwisted posted:Tracksuit pants with buttons like that were popular in the UK when I was in high school. I think they were popular all across europe, coming over from the superior slav fashion zone. Like you said they were wrong for almost any weather, if it's warm the synthehic material would heat up too much, and in the cold you'd get drafty balls from all the gaps. The only fun thing was propably ripping them of your friends to embarass them.

I can drop trou about as fast as you could stripper pants those off and when you're done you just pull your pants up instead of have to assemble the worst post sex puzzle imaginable. They save you from having to gently caress around with getting your pants around your shoes is what they do

I'm trying to think of slow loving pants and I can't do it. For most of human history our pants have been designed to go from peeing, pooping, or loving and back to wearing pants in 5 seconds. Pants are inherently fast loving. This made me think of jumpsuits though which are pajamas you're allowed to wear to work and can be dumb depending on context. They have pant legs and are a little harder to fast gently caress in but they're also pajamas you can wear while doing mechanic stuff to a car or being a union electrician. The reason they are dumb is because of people like the Soylent guy who isn't a cool blue collar person and in fact seems incompatible with the jumpsuits he's obsessed with, evidenced by the fact he's trying to figure out how to not poop because he probably dislikes how hard it is to poop while wearing a jumpsuit.

Fashion is dumb as gently caress and is helping to destroy the planet. We should all wear jumpsuits with lots of pockets. A light cotton one for warmer temperatures and a heavier one for winter. Thermal underwear if it gets real cold. Plus we can customize it with patches/buttons. gently caress fashion so hard I hate shopping for clothes.

But since you're such a jumpsuit enthusiast maybe you can demonstrate for the thread the different methods of jumpsuit management when having a poop.
