1. Litas,
Lita knockoffs, pastel Litas, eyelet Litas, studded Litas, or anything with a
heel resembling a pack of Marlboros. If you can walk through Meatpacking
after 4 a.m. without getting your heel wedged in a cobblestone, you’re probably
wearing Litas (and you definitely look like a moron).
2. Studs.
The moment you can buy a studded bracelet for 10 dollars in Chinatown,
you know its glory days are over. Buyers beware: you don't look edgy or
bad-ass anymore if 13 year old girls with One Direction on their iPods are
wearing the same studded shorts as you.
3.
Neon. Oh god, the neon. It's as if Electric Zoo's inhabitants
have escaped into the real world, leaving shreds of cheap polyester and
discarded Charlotte Russe nail polish in their wake. Ignore anyone who
tells you "neon's really big right now," because they're probably
still on something from EDC.
