Yesterday while in H&M at the Mall of America, I realized something. Only 50% of their clothing is actually wearable. The other 50% of their merchandise is simply strange and corrupt in one way or another. In other words, as I was walking through the store, I kept thinking, "Now, who the hell would wear that?" I'm not going to blame it on the store's European descent, but perhaps that factor should be considered. After thorough research, here is my fashion analysis:
1. Awkward fabric choices... Example: a stretch-knit blazer. What's the point of a blazer it fits more like a dance leotard?2. Strange colors.... These colors make your skin tone appear as if you had just vomited. Honestly, H&M, only 2% of the population looks good in shades of baby poop and 1970s shag carpet.
3. Weird proportions... I've found a lot of their shirts to be awkward lengths; where a slutty girl might think it was a dress, and a conservative girl might think it was a shirt. Either way, you end up drowning in excess fabric or looking like a prostitute.
Whether H&M is actually "ahead" of the trends or a hot mess, it's clear that a lot of their stuff is unwearable. I don't care where you're from or how "trendy" you claim to be.... no one looks good in the color of cat vomit.

damn. i love h & m. Europe's H & M is a lot different than the one at the MOA. Also- I think they have nicer stuff for guys than girls. just sayin. :)
ReplyDeletehaha actually paul, i've never ventured into the men's side of the store, but from what i can tell you are totally right. it actually seems like, cool, normal stuff. and i must compliment your style, while i'm at it. sometime you should write a "guest post" that addresses men's style on my blog! i think people would love it. we could put up a photo of you and call you Paul Jeffrey or something haha :) let me know whatcha thing about that
ReplyDeleteThats interesting you say that, over here in LA many girls would disagree with you. I love H&M. Way better than forever 21 dont you think? H&Ms quality of clothes/seasons fashions are pretty up to date for a low price
