Nikki’s Summer Fashion Don’ts

You know, I hate to call folks out, but it must be done. It’s time for my Summer Fashion Don’ts. And if you fall into any of these categories………………stop it!

1. Don’t wear socks with thong sandals. I saw a guy yesterday who was rockin’ the thong sandals with socks. It’s okay to rock the athletic sandals with socks, but never with thong sandals.

2. Don’t wear tube tops when you have a big gut. Ladies, this must cease. Do you realize how stupid you look? You look like a rubber band on an egg. If your gut is big, a tube top is not your friend.

3. Don’t wear Timberlands in 80°+ weather. I know I said this last summer, but apparently some of you didn’t listen, so it’s worth repeating. Your feet need a break in the summer, and after walking in Timberlands all day when it’s hot as Hades outside, your feet will stink. Men, find a lighter shoe to wear in the summer. Now if you’re a construction worker or some type of maintenance worker, disregard this post. But if you call yourself lookin’ fly for no damn reason at all and are wearing Timbs this summer, especially in the South, cut it out.

4. Don’t wear excessive amounts of makeup. Again, it’s hot outside, so your pores need to breathe. Sweat will build up, which will lead to you wiping your brow and/or entire face quite often. And as a result, your makeup will run like Flo Jo. So little to no makeup is great for the summer.

5. Don’t match everything. You need to break up the monotony of things. Just because you wear an orange shirt, there’s no need to get orange socks, shoes and hat to match. Walking around looking like a Sunkist.

LMAO@ sunkist! ROTFLMAO

You need to pass the word on here in NY about the Timbs. I see guys all summer long rockin’ jean shorts and Timbs. Not cute.

LOL. I feel ya. I would add some more:

6. Moisturize: Ashiness is not cute at all.

7. Keep your feet nice: That goes for BOTH men and women. Keep your feet clean, get that callous skin of your heels especially, keep your toes trimmed.

8. Keep body hair tight: Men trim under those arms some, looking like Buckwheat died under there is awful plus it holds funk. LOL. And ladies if you go swimming trim your bikini line area.

9. Wear the right size: Too big clothes look bad. Wearing sandals with your heels and toes hanging for the edge looks tacky. Tight clothes don’t look right on big guts and rolls.

Tehe…funny story. As I am muslim and cover from head to toe…as many strict adherents do, a sister came up with a grand idea;)…black trouser socks/knee-highs with the big toe sewed up to allow wear with thong sandals!!! I know……

LMAO at Amn.eris and shai!

Sunkist!!! Yo, that was maaad funny. Thank God NONE of these fashion faux pas’ pertain to me. Good gosh what are these folks thinking about? That thong sandal with white socks or socks of any color just finishes me off… talk about tacky to the nth degree! Geez… Sunkist!!! - still laughing over that one…

LMAO @ Sunkist. Hey I feel you on the Timbs even in the upper south (as I like to call DC) folks need to leave the timbs alone!

I agree with your and Shai’s lists. I’m mad at the Sunkist reference, though!!!!

rubber band on an egg lol, thats too funny.

yea summer is the season of faux pas. people need to realize that not everyone looks good in certain styles. if you are fat dont try to fit into every style you see skinny folk in.

if you want to be cool leave the timbos and wear some runners.

and as for the matching thing not to make fun but thats how we distinguish the american visitors from the locals in the summer. i mean damn sometimes sistas even got the hair matching the outfit. thats crazy!

Safa, you have a legitimate excuse for wearing socks with thong sandals. I’mma let you slide on that one, but anyone else will get severely clowned by me.

Your blog entry came to mind as soon as I saw one of the Officers strolling down the hall. One minute, he was wearing some really nice tan slacks….. except he needed to pull his shoes up…. flooding like he was wearing Capris, Girl. I was like “ummm… NAW!”

Then he comes back around the corner wearing tan shorts….. with the megacrusty heels. I was like “DAMMIT Naw!”.

socks with thong sandals??

how does that even work?? folks gotta have some mega-strong toe muscles to keep that grip on the little thong, especially through some thick athletic socks.
