PSA: Don’t Buy Your Man These!

The lady wanted to head into the store on Urban Outfitters store Walnut Street to check out their housewares and holiday gifts section this weekend. Years ago, we scored some Christmas pixies and tree decorations and she still holds out hope that we’ll find some other hidden treasures.

Occasionally, I can find an accessory at Urban Outiftters that I like. It might be a hat, pair of sneakers.  Most of the time, I find their style not quite my style or overpriced. A lot of styles in there seem to try too hard. Case in point is the ridiculousness that stumbled across in the Men’s section.

It started with these guys:

Yeah, sweatpants with over-sized elastic at the ankle. If you wanna rock elastic at the bottom of your sweatpants, go old school bo-bo sweats. The insanity did not stop there. Apparently, a buyer at Urban thought this elastic ankle would be all the rage for all men’s pants. Hence:

and these:

Really? Jeans basically with hoodie wrists attached to the bottom? Don’t they look great on the “invisible mannequins”?

Like I said, if you’re rockin’ these, you might be trying a bit too hard to be hip. Don’t fall for this bullshit. Just because Urban has them doesn’t mean they should be bought. If you do buy them, I’ll wager that you’ll be donating them to a thrift store within a year.

PSA: I know it’s super close to Christmas but, if you’re looking for a last minute gift for the man in your life, Do Not Buy Him these. These pants are a TOTAL VIOLATION!

The entire day wasn’t a bust, found some great gifts at Spirit of the Artist on Pine Street near 10th. The store has all handmade gifts which are made in the USA. The dude who owns it was also serving great hot apple cider and cookies!

If you need a last minute gift you might find something here.
