The War on Common Sense: A Rant About Ridiculous Fashion Trends

Ladies, we need to talk.

But... are there even any females that visit Cat Brah's site? Between Cat Brah and Chadillac, one look would be enough to scare away anyone.

Any who, fashion is supposed to be about self-expression, empowerment, and, let’s be honest, looking fabulous.

Like me.

Ridiculous Fashion Trends Versus Common Sense?

But somewhere along the way, we decided to abandon all common sense and embrace trends that are either over-the-top revealing or outrageously impractical. It’s like we’re playing a game of "How absurd can I look today?" And let's face it, we might think an outfit is simply cute, but it gives ammo to guys out there like Cat Brah who will eyeball laser scan you from head to toe... then toe to head.

Spoiler: we’re all losing.

I love that line!

Oh, honey, who told you that a micro mini and a barely-there crop top was acceptable for grocery shopping? I’m all for embracing your body and rocking what makes you feel good, but there’s a fine line between confidence and confusion. Wearing something so tight that it cuts off circulation or makes you look like you’re auditioning for a music video 24/7 isn’t empowering—it’s exhausting. Imagine Cat Brah but times 100, that cannot be fun to deal with all day.

What Happened To Being Versatile?

To outfits that say, "I’m hot, but I also have places to be and things to do"?

And can we talk about functionality for a second?

Because last I checked, no one looks sexy tugging at their clothes every five seconds or walking like they’re balancing on a tightrope because their skirt won’t let them take a full step. You’re not a statue; you’re a human being. Chances are... you're not a model either. So dress like it.

Now, let’s flip the script and address the opposite trend of wearing the baggiest pants possible. First of all, ugh. Then having it be so long you are literally dragging them on the ground. Second, gross. I see this is the new thing with the teens, and you know what, we already did this in the 90's and early 2000's. You are late to the party kids. This looks just as dumb now as it did back then... but I guess all the kids want to grow up and be like Brah-Donna, I mean, how can you not.

So ladies, why does it look like your pants are auditioning for a role in "The Saddest Mop"? Are we just collectively ignoring the fact that half your outfit is collecting dirt, gum, and God-knows-what from the streets as you walk? Not to mention, it’s a tripping hazard waiting to happen. Nothing screams "I have my life together" like face-planting because your pants attacked you.

And let’s be real: baggy doesn’t equal chic if it looks like you borrowed your dad’s jeans from 1993 and forgot to cuff them. There’s oversized, and then there’s "I’m being swallowed alive by denim." One is trendy; the other is a cry for help. Guess which one this is?

This Is All The Same Shit

The real kicker here is that both of these trends are two sides of the same coin: extremes. Fashion should enhance your life, not complicate it. Somewhere between "painted-on leggings that double as a second skin" and "pants that double as a floor mop," there’s a sweet spot. It’s called balance. Look it up.

Ladies, you deserve better than trends that make you uncomfortable or impractical. You can be stylish without sacrificing your dignity or your mobility. And if anyone tells you otherwise, just remember: they’re probably trying to sell you something name brand for $179.99.

Here’s the deal: Wear what makes you feel confident, but don’t lose sight of reality. You can be bold, fashionable, and practical all at once. Fashion isn’t about conforming to ridiculous trends; it’s about creating your own. So, the next time you’re tempted to squeeze into a bandage dress for a casual coffee run or let your pants drag behind you like a sad parade float, ask yourself: Does this make sense? If the answer is no, it’s time for a wardrobe rethink.

You’re welcome.

Stay stylish, stay smart, and for the love of all things chic, stay balanced.
