One day I will get to tell my grandchildren how I lived through a time when fashion meant matching the color of your weave to the color of your diaper.

If they don't believe me, I will have proof:

Hi, Fueled by Fug readership. I'm Zani, I'm new, and you probably won't love me as much as you love Cloe, but I couldn't pass up an opportunity to publicly state just how much I hate this hoodie:



This hoodie is so ugly that it actually angers me. It may not seem that offensive but when you spend as much time on the internet as I do, you notice that Pete Wentz has about four outfits total unless someone else is styling him. And for some insane reason, this hoodie, paired with a pair of girl jeans, is one of them. I can't understand why he loves it so much. Think about how bad it must smell by now!
Okay, I like Morphine Generation. I own one of their hoodies. But mine is an oatmeal color that is fab for my skintone and it has a really interesting reproduction of an old lithograph on the back. Pete's is a dull gray color that does nothing to make him look less dead and, aside from a gothic M on the front (which you can't really see in this picture), it has nothing to draw the eye. But it's not just boring. There's some sort of dead animal around the hood. I think it's rabbit fur, but it's really just not cute. I'm pretty sure Pete's animal-friendly bros (and vegan bandmate Andy) aren't big fans of the fur.
Then there is the bass. Fashionable people have pretty much always been opposed to gaudy designer logos, and even more opposed to faux designer logos (design is, after all, intellectual property), but the Clandestine bartskull version of Louis Vuitton's signature print takes this trend to a whole new level of ew.

And Pete? Lay off the bronzer.
I don't know what the hell is going on here. Spencer is rocking the molester 'stache, a hipster staple I've been against since the beginning. Maybe I'm a square but I just feel like your face is no place to be ironic. My friend this weekend said that sincerity is the new irony, I guess Spencer has not gotten the memo. He looks like the bearded lady after a trim.

I like this picture because Peter looks as surprised that he was voted one of America's most beautiful as we were!
First off: I love this blazer. I know Ryan Ross has the same one in a lighter grey that I prefer, but this one is gorgeous, too. I love the white piping
and the cut looks nice on Pete.
The shirt is a pretty color I actually really like on Pete. The jeans are kind of a strange color but the cut and fit are nice. Really, the only thing I am slightly bewildered about as far as this outfit, is why Pete is wearing what appears to be black patent dock shoes. But at this point I am so happy to see Pete in something that doesn't terrify me, so I'll let it go.

God job, Peter! Next we'll tackle the hair and makeup, but this is already a huge step forward.

I take back any praise I may have given to Ryan Ross. I haven't seen that haircut since it was on Devon Sawa. What next, Ross? Are you going to wear jeans ripped at the knee? How about a flannel shirt, worn over a Soundgarden T? I know you like Third Eye Blind, but there's no reason for you to look like an extra from Wild America. And then the ruffled shirt, and the vest, I mean, homeboy looks like a lapsed Mormon missionary from the mid-Nineties.

As far as darling Brendon Urie, his shirt is kind of ugly-- but I am not a big fan of the elaborate screenprint approach to designer streetwear, so it's to be expected. Also, he appears to be wearing two different shoes.

Also, and this is just my personal opinion, but Spencer and Jon are really looking worse for wear, aren't they?

Word on the street says that Pete Wentz has designed a line of clothing for DKNY. Huh.



Perhaps the scarf is an ode to PATD?

I actually think that Audrey looks good in these, she's obviously a really pretty girl. I'm over the pink hair but her facial structure is appealing and i like the bump on her nose. That being said-- no one, no one, is hot enough to pull off bright orange cut-off overalls.
