In 1863, President Abraham Lincoln of the United States of America issued the Emancipation Proclamation. This was the first solid step towards the abolishment of slavery in the United States. Lincoln realized that slavery was savage, inhumane, and sooo 1857. With this in mind, he didn't just stop with the Emancipation Proclamation. He fought for the abolishment of slavery until the 13th amendment was passed in the Senate and House of Commons in 1865.
What an inspirational thought.
Have you seen the stuff they're putting on the runways lately? Some of it is... inhumane.
Baggy Dress Pants:It's a designers job to take the rules of style, and bend them. They're supposed to give us inspiration by showing us the limits of sartorial creativity. Dior Homme has decided to dress their guys up in baggy slacks for their Autumn/Winter collection. They aren't the only ones either. Baggy dress pants seem to be a new fad for designers. I wonder how loud I have to scream for them to hear my disgust?
They have a right to bend rules... but one rule may never be broken. Whatever you wear, it has to fit. Don't walk out of your house looking like you stapled your bedsheets to your legs.
FloodPants:
I have to hand it to Thom Browne. Most designers wouldn't be caught dead wearing the stuff that they design for their manboy models. To the right, we can see Thom Browne sporting his very own fashion statement. Unfortunately, it's one of those statements that... suck. His pants just don't fit. It's almost as if he got his inspiration from a picture taken of me during the sixth grade. I got made fun of for wearing those pants then, and it's payback time now. Shame on you Thom. Go buy some socks.
Shorts and a Jacket:I've seen this combination more than once on the runways. It's not alright. You wear a jacket if it's cold out. You wear shorts out when it's hot. There's a reason they say a guy is "smart" when he's dressed well. It's because men dress with a purpose. Wearing a jacket with shorts makes you look "adorably inept at life".
Am I wrong on these? Any other fads out there you want to abolish? Let me hear 'em.

Jeans so big they sit just beneath the booty, and sag in every place possible. Young men here in Chicago still think it's a stylish statement, while wobbling around looking like creatons. It's a hideous trend that has stuck.
