In honor of Fashion Week, we got GL’s so-stylish staffers to
spill their most horrific fashion moments. Read on for gory tales of teen style
statements we wish we’d never, ever
made.
“Must I admit that I wore jeans and a sweatshirt (crewneck,
thankyouverymuch) for basically all of high school? My BEST fashion moment,
however, was a pair of Doc Martens I saw in GL and then bought immediately. I
wore them for years. I wish I still had them!” – Katie A., senior editor
“This unfortunately wasn't a solitary moment as it was a few
years of fashion foolishness. Up until I was 19, I plucked my eyebrows waaay
too thin. I still pluck them (they'd look like caterpillars if I didn't), but
only a little so they frame my face better.” – Karmen F., online contributing
editor
“Corduroy overalls. My
So-Called Life was big when I was in high
school.” – Patty O., senior national advertising sales director
“All of sixth grade. I had just switched from a strict,
uniform-only private school to public school, and I had no clue about fashion.
Think really unflattering jeans, 24/7.” – Brittany T., online editorial
assistant
“I'd say... jeans with no pockets, when I was 13. I'll
never, ever wear those again!” – Kelsey H., advertising assistant
“In high school, I had an unspoken fashion rivalry with this
other girl in my class. We'd silently check out each other's outfits when we
passed in the hallways, and then pretend like we hadn't. One day, I was so
excited to wear these amazing new black wide-leg tuxedo pants to school, and
she showed up in the exact same pair! None of my friends understood my pain. I
almost died.” – Jessica D., associate fashion editor
OK, babes, now it’s your turn to dish! What’s your worst
fashion moment?
