This is not the first time I've seen ridiculously-dressed folks in Washingtonian boasting their "hot" style for readers. Are they serious with this? 17 Ingenious Ideas for Breaking Out of Your Summer Style Rut | Fashion | Washingtonian

Some of the styles aren't bad but who the hell is wearing a thick sweater in DC in July?! Or what about the chick with the garish lipstick and costume jewelry? Is this some kind of joke?

#10's dress goes up to her belly button, who is going to wear that?! Or how about #1's Romper-to-Heaven look? Sure, that's a smart idea if you have to sit down on Metro, or anywhere for that matter.

I would LOVE to see Washingtonian feature something a little more realistic for those among us who can't wear a hideous onesie that goes up to our crotch.

I think I've more or less seen most of those around DC and other cities. Kind of a grown up hipster chick style, but not really.

As a guy, some aren't really attractive, others sorta, but not my style, and some are nice.

Most of them seem fine to me. I kind of dig the hipster look on girls...

Totally fashionable...





Another one of them looked like she was wearing an apron. All but perhaps one look far, FAR too silly for my taste.

^^ right! AWFUL. If that's fashionable, please God let me be totally uncool. To BoomBoxing: I'm one such "hipster" but I stick to skinny jeans and a t-shirt, so many of these Washingtonian choices scream three year old dressing herself for the first time.

Thing is, I have yet to see anyone walking around DC actually looking like that. I feel out of place if I dare wear a zebra top under my black blazer at a networking event. Where do they find these people?!

Because as a subscriber, I pay for Washingtonian to publish this garbage. Thankfully they already ticked me off by selling my mailing address to spam third party marketers so I won't be renewing and then I can totally get over it.
