We got some entertainment from these videos in the newsroom yesterday and agreed no man in the Capital Region is A) tall enough B) thin enough C) chic enough to pull off these looks.

    Ya know…I’m sure most men are okay with not being tall/thin/chic enough to pull these off. Especially that cranberry suit toward the end.

  2. Im the UKMA & I approve this blog post says:

    except for— well you know!

  3. DanCF says:

    Some of them aren’t too bad, some are just silly, and some are just too feminine. And what is with rolling up the pant legs?

  4. Alan says:

    H&M has been making me feel short and fat for years.

  5. sk8rgrrl99 says:

    Hmmm… not a fan of that clothing line at all.

    The rolled-cuff-&-docker/boater-shoe-preppy look from the early ’90′s is back???

    Well, I’ll be….

    Huh, styles really *do* recycle after 20 years…

    It’s all soooooo Brad Goreski. Which I like. On Brad Goreski.

  8. Hopeful says:

    Yuk. I’d expect to see clothing like that at the circus or a Halloween party.

  9. Colleen says:

    I agree with #3 DanCF — why are some pants legs rolled up and why are the other pants just way too short? I’m not loving or getting the pants length.

    Is it me or did every pair of pants look like they belong on a 12 year old who grew two inches over the summer?

    H&M has been confusing me for a while now. They have always had good basic tees and tanks, but I used to actually buy their real clothes too, when I thought they were pretty and a bit more unique than most other stores.
    For the past few years though, they’ve tried to be so far ahead on the cutting edge of fashion that they’ve fallen over straight into dumpy and mismatched and ugly, and they don’t seem to be pulling out of it. Is it part of the “hipster” style that’s going around? I don’t know what they’re doing!!

  12. Jon says:

    What, is everyone going to be living on Cape Cod now?

  13. Pat says:

    I saw a guy in the Capitol the other day (I’m assuming he is a legislative aide) dressed similarly. He was wearing a grey suit and it looked like his arms were too long for his jacket and the pants were narrow and short. All I could think of was Peewee Herman.

  14. jennifer says:

    Pants that come just above the ankle is not a good look…on anyone.

  15. Lisa says:

    There is nothing sexy about a man with highwater pants on. Ever.

    Why do all models look miserable? Hunger pains??

    The woman in the video is in serious need of a new hair style. Pronto.

  16. Pinto Joe says:

    I’m shocked to see people from the Capital Region disparaging anything new fashion wise. Wait, no I’m not.

    I was rolling my cuffs with boat shoes last summer. Get with the times, H&M.

  17. EZ says:

    Wow, can’t believe they didn’t have yacht rock playing in the background.

  18. zack says:

    I’m far from a fashion expert, but isn’t H&M offering fashion advice a bit like Paula Deen giving workout tips?

  19. The conquering UKMA says:

    Not really zack, but the captiol region offering fashion critique is like mistaking the Sears catalogue for Vogue magazine!
