fashion

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. 

Adam Sandler's seen quite a comeback in the meme department since starring in the Safdie Brothers' Uncut Gems. While our old millennial asses revere him for his roles in his Happy Madison productions, the SNL alum has proved that his star power goes far beyond goofiness. That star power has led to the actor becoming viral for some pretty normal moments. Just a few weeks ago, a TikTok user went viral after realizing she had turned Sandler away from her IHOP, saying that the wait for a table would be 30 minutes. This week, the internet is marveling at something a little more attention-worthy: his apparent love for pickup basketball games.

After Anthony Puccio shared a friend's Instagram story of Sandler playing a game of pickup basketball in Long Island, Twitter had a lot to say about the matter. Many users were appalled at the lack of reciprocity between Sandler and his teammates. The star was absolutely destroying it on the court, but the same could not be said for his temporary squad. A second video from the same day didn't help their case. There's no denying it. Adam Sandler was let down.

While much of the focus was on the comedian's skills, some Twitter users decided to poke fun at his attire. The baggy clothes, which are actually par for the course with Sandler, honestly make the out-of-place actor look that much more impressive in this context. If you're getting schooled by a 54 year old Jewish guy from Brooklyn in an oversized peach polo, you should probably be questioning the caliber of your game.

The humble t-shirt. Practical item of clothing? Barrier between nipples and cold air? Or a blank canvas for stupid humor? It's more like all of the above. While these comedic tees lack the insane specificity of "Facebook shirts," they definitely pack a punch, or can at least inspire a weary groan - especially when used in a funny context. Example: A man clutches his wife's hand as she's in the delivery room - wearing a shirt that simply reads "I did this." Simple. Funny. Effective. Much like the rest of the novelty tees in this gallery.

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!

Have you been itching for some content that has nothing to do with coronavirus? We've got you covered. We've covered fashion fails before, but these are extra spicy. While we appreciate the humor in these questionable designs, we've got to wonder if anyone was penalized for some of the raunchier mistakes. 

Seventeen-year-old Billie Eilish, arguably the voice of Generation Z, has positively exploded onto the pop music scene over the last year with hits like Bad Guy and Bury a Friend. Her fanbase has proved itself to be somewhat on the edgy side, and by "edgy" we mean along the lines of "I'm 14 and this is deep."

We just want to clarify that we have nothing against Billie Eilish or her music at all - we're mainly here to poke some fun at her overly dramatic fans and her amusingly baggy wardrobe.

Fun fact: her middle name is Pirate.

There's a lot of talk about how coronavirus has made the world feel like the apocalypse. But the media has not prepared us for the sartorial reality of the damn thing. In movies like Mad Max and television, our tough heroes are donning leather, studs, and toting semi-automatic rifles. Those of us working from home have to fight this battle in our pajamas and slippers. The juxtaposition has inspired a lot of memes on Instagram, Reddit and Twitter - and they're pretty damn funny. 

First they released the Popeye's clothing line, and we did not speak out. Then they released the KFC Crocs, and we did not speak out. Supreme just announced an incredibly cringeworthy Oreo collaboration, and we are definitely speaking out. 

Cult Streetwear giants Supreme announced the collaboration yesterday and people are roasting the branded cookies to no end. While it's easy to joke about the red Oreos costing hundreds of dollars, a package of three will run a dumb skater a mere $8. This seems reasonable until you realize this sum can also buy you a shot and a beer down the street from their Williamsburg, Brooklyn store. If you want the cookies, you'll have to line up with other Supreme enthusiasts on February 20th. We'd rather stay inside and enjoy all the jokes people are cracking on Twitter. 

Pepple really freak out about shoes. They're used as symbols of status (Louboutins) and are sold for exorbitant amounts of money. They garner praise for their ethics (Toms) and ridicule for their aesthetics (Crocs). But we all need to wear them. So it would make sense that there are numerous cursed and weirdo memes involving footwear. And we're happy to present them to you in one convenient place.
