Some of the trends from the last few years include: head-bands (guys and girls), leggings under skirts and shorts (girls), Castro hats (girls and guys -- only lasted for a brief season, though), vests (girls, some guys). Most of these are gay-tarded and I hate them. (Amy is now writing me an angry comment about "gay-tarded.")
The newest one, which isn't all that new, but has surged in popularity, is cut-off jeans. For dudes. And not baggy jeans, the tight hipster jeans. I tried finding a picture of a dude wearing this online, but Google Image Search still insists that mostly girls are wearing this, so that will have to do. Rest assured, though: the picture below is exactly what these shorts look like on these guys.
What's worse, some of these dudes cut them off just below the knees, making them effectively "man-pris" (credit goes to my friend Joel for coining that term). It used to be just one guy we saw a few years ago wearing shorts like this. Now every hipster dude at Biola is wearing them.Youths! Youths and their clothes! *waives cane menacingly*

I've noticed it a lot on both genders. Most of the girls I see wearing it are NOT enhancing their best attributes.
I definitely have noticed a lot more effeminate outfits on the guys this season, more than any other season.
I try to tell myself that the fashion is just getting worse, as opposed to the idea that I'm just getting older and less in touch with the young ones. :)
Ha, yeah. I'll join you in the "fashion is getting worse" camp.
"Ironic dorky" is past its prime.
(Said the man with cartoon character shirts.)
(But I actually love them, dang it!)
Ryan, this is your greatest post ever.
I think if I worked at BIOLA, and had to see this everyday, I would suffer from a stroke daily.
I laughed so hard at 'gay-tarded', I couldn't even read the rest of the post. I assume it was as brilliant as that phrase.
Well done!
I aim to please the Bs.
well then you must hate me, b/c I was so poor over the summer not having a job for 3 months and no income I had cut some jeans into shorts...
...can we still be friends?
Oh no! Whenever you critique a trend, you run the risk that one of your friends is a participant.
Sorry, Frankie.
