What The F*** Men’s Outfits For Fall 2011 [GEAR GIRL]

As COED’s Gear Girl I’m well aware of the absurdities strutting down the runway. There are things nobody should be caught dead in. The majority of men feel women’s fashion falls into that category: you smirk and grimace when we attempt to rock a gothic superhero coat or step out of the house in shiny, metallic leggings. However, there are some supremely heinous trends out there for men as well. In honor of another industry absurdity of embracing fall fashion when it’s 90 degrees and rising, we’re bringing you the most cringe-worthy looks for fall 2011. Check ‘em out below.

You mean you haven’t always wanted a plaid cape for those chilly winter nights? Pity, the house of Alexander McQueen sure thought you did.

Fishnets, garter belt, tuxedo shorts, hipster mustache beard combo. Win.

 Please don’t let this horrible misuse of the army trend deter you from trying it out, minus the Hammer pants and awkward blazer.

 Please Mr. Oz, grant me the courage to burn this outfit.

Gear Girl: 5 Bitchin’ Board Shorts That Are Babe-Approved

“Gear Girl” is COED’s new bimonthly column where our resident clothing chick, Rosanna, tells you what to wear, how to wear it and how to do it all while maintaining your dudeliness. Heading to the beach? Don’t leave home without Gear Girl’s picks for a better board short.

With our favorite beerbq-uing, firework-infused holiday coming up, summer is just about to kick into high-gear. Welcome to your board short intervention, boys.

Step 1

Please, for the love of god get rid of your Hawaiian flower-printed Abercrombie swimwear from the eighth grade. Powder blue flowers may have worked on the ladies back then, but our tastes have since matured and so should yours.

Step 2

Saggy and baggy shorts do not paint a flattering portrait of you. A well-fitting pair shouldn’t go further than your knee. We’re not telling you to shimmy into a pair of Speedos, just go towards a slightly more fitted approach.

Step 3

Bright colors are your bros, seriously, black board shorts on the beach are depressing, not to mention probably really uncomfortable. Check out our pics for the best summer board shorts, all girl-approved.

Gear Girl: Crashing a Wedding in Style

“It’s wedding season, kid.” Like it or not, you’re probably going to attend some summer soirees with your +1. Unlike your normal weekends, these events will require you to put on your big boy clothes and watch old people dance in a way that makes you sick. While you could go the easy route and don an always classic (but often boring) black suit, you could make a lasting impression on your date / that chick with the tramp stamp Wedding Crashers style. Before you jump off that bridge, you’re going to need to up the ante on your wardrobe. Below are our tips for arriving in style.

Daytime Wedding

A daytime wedding calls for a more relaxed vibe so linen is your new best friend. It’s an easy, breathable fabric that will be your saving grace from the hot summer sun. We love Banana Republic’s pinstripe option. An opportunity where you can be a bit bolder is with your choice of tie. A crisp white shirt with a pale yellow or orange tie should do the trick. We’re not talking prom colors here, a pastel shade will do just fine. As for shoes, these Cole Haan Oxfords will add some edge to your already classy ensemble.

Evening Wedding

A suit in a lighter fabric can work for nighttime as well, albeit in a darker shade. A navy blue suit in cotton is a classic choice. We like J.Crew’s Ludlow cotton pique suit. Keep your tie toned down for the later hours and go with a simple pattern with that picks up on the blue in the suit. A neutral colored pinstriped shirt will pull the whole look together. Add a polished belt and shoes and you’ll make Bradley Cooper jealous (seriously, that man can rock a suit like it’s nobody’s business).

Beach Wedding

The beach wedding, a staple of the summer nuptials. This type of ceremony poses some uncomfortable issues, what to do with your shoes? If the bride and groom want all of the guests to wear flip-flops then by all means kick back and relax. Some weddings however require their guests to keep their shoes on no matter what the discomfort. In this case we recommend a pair of boat shoes in a neutral shade. You can change into your kickass Oxfords later on. Remember linen? Well here is another opportunity to wear it. For the beach we suggest a khaki or white suit paired with a deep navy colored tie. All you need now is a drink in your hand.

7 Graphic Tees That Will Never Get You Laid

“Gear Girl” is COED’s new bimonthly column where our resident clothing chick, Rosanna, demystifies the strange enigma that is the fashion world. Basically she’ll tell you what to wear, how to wear it and how to do it all while maintaining your manliness. This week she uncovers 7 graphic tees that will never get you laid.

For reasons unknown, the graphic tee is a trend that never seems to die. Sometimes a clever shirt will get you the girl, other times it’ll get you shown the way out. As much as we hate to admit it, given a few beers us females have been known to get sucked in by that lonely hipster in the corner and his damned ironic T-shirt. However, there is a fine line between cute and creepy. Check out our picks for the worst shirts that neither alcohol nor black-rimmed glasses can save.

1. Many a girl has melted at the sight of a boy and his dog, but when you wear said dog on your T-shirt you might as well be rocking “dad” jeans.

2. Ground and processed pork from McDonald’s is the only thing that you’re getting wearing this.

3. If you’re older than 14, a “witty” Hollister tee will get you nowhere. Actually, just stay out of that store in general.

4. I’m pretty sure that our soldiers fighting in GodAwfulstan would have a problem with hipsters wearing the American flag as message that you’re different.

5. “I live at my mom’s house. Straight up, yo”

6. If you’re wearing a naked chick on your body, you’re either A) a trucker, B) prepubescent or C) not getting any, EVER. We’re onto you.

7. Hey look! Another half-naked girl! This time she’s on the toilet with a cigarette! Classy.

COED’s 2011 Summer Gear Guide

COED’s Summer 2011 Gear Guide [CLOTHES, KICKS]

Summer is a time to have fun with fashion, when less is more. It’s important to note that while you guys may be oogling us girls and watching our sweet sundresses billow in the light summer breeze, we’ll be ogling you. When the time comes for barbecues and pool parties you don’t want to be the guy in “jorts,” trust us. Luckily for you we’ve done all the bargain hunting and are bringing you the five most important do’s and don’ts of summer fashion.

Do wear a cool yet casual pair of shorts in a light fabric.

Don’t channel early K-Fed by rocking a pair of “jorts.” Only girls can pull off cutoff denim.

Urban Outfitters All Son Cotton / Linen Shorts in Khaki

Do wear a pair of canvas slip-ons or boat shoes. Urban Outfitters has a wide variety online or in store.

Don’t wear any kind of shoe that reminds us of that “special” kid in school. (i.e. Velcro straps)

Urban Outfitters Canvas Plimsoll Sneaker in Grey

Do wear a light woven button-down.

Don’t wear any kind of wife beater unless you’re planning on lifting weights with juiceheads at the gym or making an appearance on peopleofwalmart.com. For tank top alternatives check out Pacsun and their surfer inspired gear.

PacSun Ezekiel Grafton Woven Shirt in White

Do wear a lightweight hoodie for those cool nights at the beach and bars.

Don’t try to get fancy with any sort of track jacket or something that looks more at home on the field. Girls like classic and simple on guys.

American Apparel Flex Fleece Hoodie in Sea Blue

Do wear bright colors in small doses. A simple bright T-shirt will do just fine when paired with neutrals.

Don’t wear brights head to toe, or you’ll end up looking like an extra from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.

H&M T-Shirt in Turquoise

Can You Guess Who These 7 Reality TV Stars Are?

Reality TV is a beast all its own and we continue to feed it even when it spews out mindless garbage. It churns out star after star, giving each regular Joe their 15 minutes. Some manage to turn their fleeting fame into a career, branding themselves into a pickle-flavored empire. Isn’t Snooki on her last minute by now? The not so lucky ones fade into the background, only to appear on VH1 “Best of” shows and have their nudie pics “leaked” online. Take a look at these 10 reality stars you totally forgot existed and find out who they are by scrolling over the white space below each paragraph.

SCROLL OVER THE WHITE SPACE AFTER EACH PARAGRAPH TO FIND OUT WHO IT IS

WHO IS THIS?

Tough Love was a show on VH1 about a straight-shooting matchmaker named Steve Ward and his mother who doled out hard-hitting advice to hopelessly single train wrecks – in a word, awesome. This bad-ass babe and her butterfly abdomen tattoo were dubbed Ms. Gold Digger, and dig she did, even falling for one of Steve’s sugar daddy decoys.

It’s Taylor Royce from Tough Love

WHO IS THIS?

The sweetest girl on season one of Survivor went on to star in The Animal alongside Rob Schneider. She also appeared as a love interest on That 70’s Show before stepping out of the spotlight for good. The tribe has spoken.

Colleen Haskell from Survivor

WHO IS THIS?

Flavor of Love also brings us this gem. After stints on Flavor of Love Girls: Charm School and I Love Money and losing her substitute teaching job, it seems that the clock has struck midnight for the woman who brought us the spit seen around the world.

Brooke Thompson aka Pumpkin from Flavor of Love

WHO IS THIS?

She sung her heart out on American Idol season two only to be ousted after topless photos surfaced of her on the Internet. Since then she has been in many Broadway productions, and has most recently appeared on The Voice advancing to the next round on Christina Aguilera’s team.

Frenchie Davis from American Idol

WHO IS THIS?

The tattooed punk-rock winner of season 3 of Project Runway was a fan favorite. His winning collection was praised by the fashion world. Cliché Magazine also named him one of the most promising designers of his generation. So where is he now? Apparently, broke. We had high hopes for you Jeffrey, here’s hoping you bring back that tattooed neck of yours and start designing!

Jeffrey Sebelia from Project Runway

WHO IS THIS?

She’s a contestant on the fifth cycle of America’s Next Top Model was known more for her drunken antics then her modeling. This was the girl who peed in a diaper to try to impress the Jackass cast– who frankly seemed a little disgusted– during a shoot. She attempted to become a musician, pairing up with Cisco Adler and releasing some electro rap tracks. She also appeared on the third season of Celebrity Rehab. This proves it, wine doesn’t pay.

Lisa D’Amato from America’s Next Top Model

WHO IS THIS?

What can I say, I was rooting for this chick since the moment she stepped onto Rock of Love. She was normal, down-to-earth and gorgeous. That’s why it was no surprise to me when Bret Michaels chose the pink-haired rock goddess to be his “rock of love.” It did surprise me, however, when on the reunion special she told the audience that her and Bret were “not right for each other.”
