Bwuhaha! Seriously, is there any style more of an abomination than Crops?

[Rabrrrrrr]

I mean, come on - maybe for a 6 year old girl.

But that's it.

Why don't people just dress decently and tastefully? Why all the shit?

It's actually cheaper to dress well, IMO.

Crops, mullets, those stupid fucking chin beards that assholes have to try to show us that they're "creative" (which they invariably aren't), sweatshirts with reindeer or other seasonal shit embroidered on them, sweatsuits, polo shirts worn over a polo shirt... the offenses against humanity just pile up.

In, of course, my humble opinion.

You're mileage may vary.

1. What are crops?

:shrug:

[Electric Monk]

3. Found this with teh google. They're also called "pixie cuts".

[BurtWorm]

6. I have no objection to either of those crops.

:blush:

[JonLP24]

5. I'm guessing the hairstyle

Like the one Pink wears. Other than that I have the same question.

[Rabrrrrrr]

11. Crops are those fucking stupid pants that end between the knee and the ankle

Not elegant enough to be pants, not tasteful enough to be shorts. They're crops.

Clothing for people too goddamn stupid to think for themselves.

[Kali]

14. capris

and yes they suck

[wickerwoman]

16. I'll admit to wearing crops.

I don't have the thighs to pull off shorts, sometimes it's too hot to wear full-length trousers and I refuse to contribute to the global oppression of women by wearing skirts or dresses. Plus I think crops look better with sandals than jeans do.

That picture looks awful but that's because they're too form-fitting. Something like this:



shouldn't be beyond the pale though. You have to leave *some* wiggle room for ladies with bad legs who overheat easily.

[Moondog]

42. Didn't these used to be called "High Water Pants"? n/t

[wickerwoman]

44. I thought that when you roll up the cuffs of your jeans too high.

Like this:

[GoCubsGo]

51. Nope.

Those are also called "capris". Those of us with large thighs appreciate them in warm weather. You can't believe how difficult it is to get a decent pair shorts that have an inseam longer than four inches. These idiot clothing designers and buyers must think EVERY woman is a skinny fifteen-year-old.

[TZ]

21. I wear them

I don't like skirts and I'm NOT ALLOWED to wear shorts at work or in the lab. They are comfortable in the summer. But I must be too dumb to think huh? God I hate elitist crap like this OP. :banghead:

[Lydia Leftcoast]

22. Gotta disagree with you on this one, Rabrrrrr

Minnesota can get tropically steamy in the summer, and even though I work at home, I do not want to inflict the sight of my knees and thighs on the outside world, should I venture out for grocery shopping, walking around the lake, etc.

I don't like Capris (just below the knees and usually somewhat tight), but Crops (mid-calf length) are my hot weather garment of choice.

[Kali]

23. I stand corrected

had no idea there were two different garments. Either way the vast majority of them look silly to me. We called them floods when us tall people couldn't find pants long enough. Maybe the trauma of too short pants has influenced my opinion.:rofl:

[GreenPartyVoter]

29. I just got some yesterday myself.

[mkultra]

31. i with you. same goes for those skirts that are really shorts or whatever

Pants or shorts people, pants or shorts.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

33. They're called "skorts" (shorts with a flap over the front to make them look like a skirt)

Those ARE ugly and pointless.

[mkultra]

34. hmm, i think what im thinking of are called Gauchos maybe

they are like skirts with seperate leg holes. Does that make sense?

[Lydia Leftcoast]

38. Oh, the generic term for those is "culottes"

My opinion of those depends on

1) How they're cut

2) Who is wearing them.

[Quantess]

41. I disagree. Skorts are very practical.

I have a few similar to the one above.

[Lavender Brown]

39. Oh, I think shorts are MUCH tackier

and less flattering on the average figure than cropped pants or capris. I think cropped pants can be elegant. Audrey Hepburn, after all, made them popular in the first place.

[REP]

43. I have a vascular abnormality that leaves one calf permantly enlarged but I have tiny ankles

I used to wear shorts when it was hot but I got tired of answering, "Oh my god what's wrong with your leg?" and explaining that I had a DVT that left me with venous stasis and then explaining what both of those are. I'm short, so cropped pants just look like ankle-length anyway.

[rcrush]

2. Crops? You mean like corn?

What do you have against corn?

[rug]

4. Au contraire, a spray of wheat in one's hair announces you have arrived.

[nuxvomica]

7. Hey! I wear polo shirts over polo shirts in cold weather

Of course, I wear the long-sleeved ones over the short-sleeved, not the other way around. I actually entertained the notion of a soul patch for a while till I saw that Howie Mandel has one.

[gmoney]

35. That is such a good look...

[nuxvomica]

37. I don't pop the collars at all

That's so 1985.

[Odin2005]

8. I like chicks with Emo hair, is that bad?

:rofl:

[Skittles]

9. pointy shoes

ugly and ridiculous

[Boojatta]

10. ... also dangerous for someone's butt if you wear them while kicking.

[XemaSab]

12. What is this word "you're" you speak of?

:(

[Orrex]

13. You mean like a riding crop?

Not to my taste, but I suppose that they have their place for someone with a fondness for restrictive leather garments, etc.

[Lucian]

15. I have a chin beard...

and I'm not an asshole. :shrug:

[quakerboy]

17. A) where besides the chin would one center ones beard?

b)Just make a point of calling them Schpants. loudly, publicly. IF there is one thing trendyness cannot take, it is direct mockery.

[Electric Monk]

18. Trendiness can take direct mockery... I've seen it happen.

Ergo Ipso Sum Thing

[MilesColtrane]

19. Forsooth, doth such raiment offend thine eye?

[Richardo]

24. ...

:rofl:

[HopeHoops]

20. Low riders with a visible bright-colored thong and WAY too much butt fat spilling out.

Throw in a tramp stamp and you've got the ultimate abomination.

[unpossibles]

25. I like crops, actually

then again, I also like whips, leashes, a collar, maybe some restraints...

oh wait - that's not what you meant, is it?

[azmouse]

26. Surely you don't mean to include sweatshirts like this:

[crim son]

27. I think they look great

on shapely bodies and they are definitely practical. I like 'em skin-tight, too.

[zanana1]

28. Are there any rehab clinics for men who wear chin beards?

Do they re-offend? Chin beards are a form of assault. Maybe there are support groups for people who are constantly assaulted by chin beards, or my personal favorite slut attire; 13 year-old girls wearing sweatpants with the word "JUICY" on their ass. If I was hosting someone from another planet I'd say "Oh, don't mind them--they're just tourists from another planet far, far away; but do stay away."

[Bucky]

30. I see you've found a new nothing to get worked up over.

[redqueen]

36. lulz

[Arugula Latte]

32. I have mixed feelings ...

On the one hand, they are a nice compromise between shorts and pants for an office environment, say. On the other hand, they are unflattering to 99 percent of women because they make your legs look stubbier. Stacey and Clinton hate them.

[TreasonousBastard]

40. I remember them as pedal pushers, then capri pants, and now...

they're "crops"? And they never looked very good, except on Mary Tyler Moore on the Dick van Dyke show. But she was very, very young then.

So, it's true-- when designers can't come up with anything new they just rename old shit.

[WinkyDink]

45. These are all different lengths, if memory serves.

[Arugula Latte]

50. I think only very slim, leggy people like Mary Tyler Moore and Audrey Hepburn can pull them off.

Otherwise, you're doing your body no favors.

[mycatfred]

46. Low-rise army green cargo-kapris with granny panies two sizes too large

A large shirt waaayyy more than two sizes too large, wool socks, and twenty-year-old Birkenstock's, maybe? A favorite of my mom's before my dad and I dragged her to the mall a while ago.
But the polo on polo thing was a favorite of the boys in my class when I went to a charter school all that time ago. . . It's pretty horrible.

But, about the reindeer sweatshirts? I love'em (despite the unfortunate fact that I do not own any at the moment.

I had a sweatsuit when I was little. But then I realized it was lame.

[Rhythm]

47. Welcome to DUniverse!

:hi:

[Shell Beau]

48. I totally thought you meant Crocs with which I would agree with your

analysis for a 6 year old, but the crops, as they are apparently called, do serve a purpose!! They can be butt ugly or really cute.

[PVnRT]

49. I like crops. Especially wheat. It's so useful!
