clothing

Twitter is an absolute minefield of horrible discourse. It's kind of like Rule 34. If it exists, Twitter will find a way to debate and troll it to oblivion. As summer is swiftly approaching (our chub-rub chafed thighs believe it's already here) the discourse has taken a turn to summer fashion. Specifically, men's shorts.

Twitter user @cheracuse seems to have inspired the controversy with a matter-of-fact tweet that argues 5" inseams are the only correct path for men who want to wear shorts. A statement like that is bound to garner reactions, and these Twitter users were happy to oblige with their two cents. While some men were concerned that their thunder thighs or extra meat wouldn't work with this specific trend, most people (especially women) seem to be on board with the PSA. We're inclined to agree with the thirsty people of the internet: 5 inches or higher is the way to go. But we're here for the debate because, well, it's nice to see the internet fighting over something like shorts for a change. 

Practically any woman can relate to this scenario: you're in a clothing store and you find a pair of jeans you like. Only thing is, when you try them on, they're tight in one area and too loose in another. And when you find another size, the same thing happens. What gives? This fascinating Tumblr thread explains why brands intentionally make arbitrary clothing sizes and why celebrities always look like their clothes fit perfectly in every single photo!

Pockets are a wonderful thing that are useful to literally every single human on planet earth. When are clothing brands going to understand that putting adequate pockets on women's pants would sell waaaay more products?! Let's get on it! We're waiting! Anyway, please enjoy these memes about pockets that might enrage all the ladies out there.

If you were once a high school girl then it's likely you shopped at Forever 21 at least on occasion, so the brand's announcement last Thursday that they plan to file for bankruptcy seems pretty surreal to us. 

In case you aren't familiar, Forever 21 is known for its cheap, poorly made clothes and bizarre shirt slogans.

Twitter has been bringing on the roasts based on the fact that the products fall apart after one year of usage, their questionable ethical practices, and of course, the strange sizing scheme. Honestly, we don't feel that sorry for them.

At least the closing sale will be pretty epic?

These people didn't plan on matching with totally random objects and scenery when they walked out of the house this morning, but here they are, looking fabulous as all hell.

These people got some terrible products but at least we get to laugh at the results!

Carmar Denim just released their $168 "extreme cut-out" jeans that are basically just a few pieces of string masquerading as pants. This is what the internet has had to say about them...
