Fashion Police Glossary: Stuck-Together-Clothes

dress with attached cardigan Fashion Police Glossary: Stuck Together Clothes

The Stuck-Together-Clothes Movement is a dangerous gang, members of which go around sticking innocent items of clothing to each other. What the Stuck Together Clothes Movement joins together, no man may put asunder, which means we’re forced to arrest all of these items, regardless of what they actually LOOK like.

It’s important to note that The Fashion Police do not arrest Stuck-Together-Clothes because of their appearance. Take this dress/cardigan combo from Dorothy Perkins, for instance. It doesn’t look bad, as such. If we saw someone wearing it on the street, we wouldn’t even give it a second glance. That doesn’t mean it’s off the hook, though, because these items of clothing have been stuck together. You cannot wear the dress without the cardigan. You cannot wear the cardigan without the dress. If it gets hot, and you want to remove your cardigan, well, too bad, you can’t: it’s stuck to your dress. And if you ever find yourself looking at a pair of jeans, say, and thinking, “You know, these would look great with that grey cardigan of mine,” again, TOO BAD. If you’re wearing the cardigan, you’re also wearing the dress, and seriously, folks, that’s no way to build a wardrobe, or to have fun with fashion. It also reminds us of those childhood days when our mothers would sew our mittens onto our coats, and now that we’re all grown up, we’d rather not be dressing like four year olds. (See also Dress Like a Toddler Trend, The)

This is why The Fashion Police object to Stuck-Together-Clothes. We feel we’re old enough now to be able to dress ourselves, and we don’t need fashion designers to weld our clothes together in order to help us with the complex matter of pairing a cardigan with a dress. Here are some more examples of Stuck-Together-Clothing from our cells:

Lanvin for H&M arrives this November

lanvin for hM1 Lanvin for H&M arrives this NovemberGet ready to queue, folks: H&M has just announced a collaboration with Lanvin, which will be available this November. H&M say:

“Designed by Lanvin’s artistic director Alber Elbaz, and menswear designer Lucas Ossendrijver, the collection will go on sale on November 23 in around 200 H&M stores worldwide. The collection of both womenswear and menswear will be revealed to the world on November 2, just three weeks before the clothes hit the store, making the launch of Lanvin for H&M among the most anticipated fashion events of the year.”

Given that H&Ms online store is due to launch this month, we’d really love to see some of this collection being made available online, for the benefit of the thousands of us who don’t live near one of those 200 stores. Any chances, H&M?

Underwear as Outerwear: Sophia Leopard Mesh Padded Cup Strapless Dress

sophia leopard mesh paadded cup strapless dress Underwear as Outerwear: Sophia Leopard Mesh Padded Cup Strapless Dress

Yes, you read that correctly: mesh padded cup dress. As in, mesh padded cups, like you’d expect to see, say, on a bra or on nightwear – only on a dress. Of the sort that you’d usually expect to wear out, say, in public.

Can anyone else see the paradox?

Of course, at £20, you might not mind keeping this little number to the confines of your own bedroom. But if you do want to wear it beyond the front door, please be prepared for some serious attention to come your way. We won’t speculate on the kind of attention you should expect…

Best Dressed of the Day: Leighton Meester in Victoria Beckham Collection

100831NT1 MEESTER B GR 03 Best Dressed of the Day: Leighton Meester in Victoria Beckham Collection

This edition of BDOTD is a bit Cheaty McCheaterson of us, because Leighton Meester is actually on the Gossip Girl set, here, so this isn’t her own choice of outfit. It IS rather lovely, however, and given that so many celebrity outfits are selected by stylists even when they’re NOT on set, we think it still counts.

The dress is by Victoria Beckham, and Leighton’s wearing it with zig-zag print platform shoes and a black clutch bag. What do you think?
