Fugly Music Festival Fashion: Lollapalooza

Tuesday, August 16, 2011

If Coachella is the Barney's Co-op of music festival fashion, then Lollapalooza must be Charlotte Russe: tacky, cheap, and ill-fitting.

Sure, I saw plenty of cute girls dressed in artfully disheveled outfits, but I saw a lot more people in WTF-inducing attire.

(The food on the other hand, kicked ass! More on that on my blog indyslim.)

First off, mom shorts. Is this really a thing now, or is it just exclusive to Chicago (please God)? What's up with the high-waisted, bunchy crotched, eighties looking, fupa-creating cutoff shorts? Not the tiny hiphugging shorts of yesteryear, but the kind that can add an instant 20 pounds to even the slenderest figures? Seriously, I would say at least ten percent of girls at Lolla were wearing some form of these. Why? I don't know.



Secondly, let's discuss people who dress for a festival like they're going to the club. I can't tell you how many bodycon outfits I saw, for no apparent reason. Like this girl in a sheer paneled American Apparel bodysuit and black bodycon miniskirt. We couldn't get a good of a shot of her, but let's just say she didn't have the body to pull off this beyond skimpy outfit...


But maybe she was trying to emulate Taylor Momsen, ex Gossip Girl and lead singer of the Pretty Reckless?



And unless you're wearing a pretty bra or bandeau top, visible bra straps are totally unacceptable. Wear a strapless, or go without a bra! And the panty lines! Ah, the horror!


Again with the bra straps. Shudder. And this time she decided to show off her painful looking butt sunburn with tiny shorts.



Here's for hoping these fugly trends die a painful death before next year's Lollapalooza!
