You Call That Fashion?

It's time for a new discussion forum I'm calling "Roin Questions 'Fashion' in 2021".

Let's open up the floor with these faux pas I've actually seen in and around Boise, Idaho. Choices were made...

*Facial tattoos
First and foremost, can anyone defend these abominations? They only reassure me that the inked party has poor judgment and/or 'no-plan-B' confidence. If the body is a temple, these cats just tagged some sloppy graffiti on the front door.

*Button-up shirts with different colored [contrast] collars
Who ran out of fabric and accidentally made this acceptable?

*Leggings under shorts
When not running outside in sub-freezing temps, what's the point of this? Try out an alternative: sweatpants.

*Dyed grey / silver hair
Looking for that early bird discount? Some sort of social commentary on stress? Answer for this premature crime!

*Mustaches in general
Upper lip accessories make the wear look look fifteen years older and like a shady character.

*Camo pants with hunter orange shirt
Simple - do you want to be seen or not?

*Plaid shirt with striped tie (or vice versa?)
 I'm about to get vertigo with this dizzying array of clashing patterns.

*Cartoon graphic socks
Anyone over the age of twelve flaunting this footwear probably feels fine about using the Comic Sans font on a business report, too.

*Trench coats
Who urged high school kids to dust off their film noir detective cosplay in the first place? These should have died off at high noon in the 1910s as the Wild West was conquered.

*HUGE logos on shirts, or worse: pants
Gaudy billboard space must be at a premium if companies like Polo and Champion feature enormous logos on their iconic garments. It's almost as unsightly and ugly as the big "N" on New Balance shoes.
