Gauchos/split skirts are back in style? WTF?

[AlCzervik]

when did that happen and who decided it? I'm looking though my sunday newspaper and out come all these ads from different stores with gauchos featured prominently.

1. I didn't see a single dirdnl or gaucho during Fashion Week

So those stores are trying to clear out old stock, IMHO.

2. Were they ever really IN style?

I never cared for that look. Shorts or skirts - c'mon, make up your mind! Didn't they call them "skorts" at one time? LOL

3. Gauchos & palazzo pants were very comfy..

Thery were not that great looking, unless you weighed 120 and stood 5'10', but they were comfy :)

23. See, that's the thing...

I'm too short (5'4") to look good in them.

[AlCzervik]

4. i remember them in the 70's and hated them then, are they a skirt,

are they really short palazzo pants---i just don't know.

[Left Is Write]

16. No. A skort looks like a regular skirt with shorts built in.

Gauchos are really just a split skirt.

5. The person responsible for that should be publicly executed.

Gauchos are perhaps the worst fashion crime ever committed against women. I nearly threw the Target sale paper across the room yesterday when I saw that ad. :rant:

[AlCzervik]

7. that was the 1st ad i saw and was horrified.

[azmouse]

6. Ugh!

I don't like 'em and I won't wear 'em!

[Redstone]

8. Gauchos. One of the dumbest-looking things a woman can wear.

Trust me on this, ladies. They are not attractive, not matter how attractive the woman wearing them is.

9. I don't know what the hell those are but they sound scary.

I was flipping through some fashion magazines on break at work the other day and I can't believe how LAME some of this stuff is. Usually you can see how runway clothes will morph into regular people clothes. I don't see how puffy sleeves and those goofy puffy skirts will look good on anybody including the tiny little models. 1987 and 1975 should not be combined to make a new outfit. I blame republicans for this horrible, hideous crop of stuff.

10. here ya go, i can't think of any place that you could even wear them

11. Sorry...

have worn them for years. They look great with boots.

[FuzzySlippers]

13. Oh holy fuck!! Those are truly hideous!!!

19. Bad choice in fabrics too

47% rayon/46% polyester/7% LYCRA® spandex will accentuate every panty line and bit of cellulite.

20. My daughter has some of the knit ones from Target...

she loves them.

As I said elsewhere, I'm exempt. :D

[jane_pippin]

27. Yeeeah, there's nothing good about those.

Thanks for enlightening me. Now I'm going to go hide from the scary pants.

[Whoa_Nelly]

12. Saw that, too and thought WTF???

Bad fashion move.

Next it'll be back to the '60s knickers... :puke:

[Left Is Write]

14. Yes, they are. I am exempt from having to wear them.

I wore them in the 70s, so now I don't have to.

[libnnc]

15. Gauchos?!? Noooooooooooooooooo!!!!!

ARGGGGHHH!!!

[AlCzervik]

17. yes, afraid so and even worse---i went to Costco today and they had some

some, actually many.

[Left Is Write]

18. Take heart. It could be worse. It could be these...

[TennesseeRain]

21. They aren't back in style.

You accidentally stepped into a time machine. I'm sure of it. :)

25. You know the old saying.

"Everything old is new again."

[TennesseeRain]

26. Daggumit.

I KNEW that's what you were going to say! Too bad it doesn't apply to people :)

[bettyellen]

22. and bermuda shorts for spring.

:shrug:

[Left Is Write]

24. I bought two pairs of Bermuda shorts from Old Navy last year...

I love them.

[GRLMGC]

28. They're ugly

but apparently they're comfortable. I guess that goes for those nasty Ugg boots worn with mini skirts or shorts. They're comfy but they don't look good.
