The Weirdest of the Weird at American Apparel

Everyone’s got a place in their heart and closet for American Apparel. Lord knows about 60% of my tshirt drawer is made up of their deliciously well worn v-necks. And who doesn’t love those amazing dresses that go 12 ways?

But everyone who’s ever been into an American Apparel store has also noticed the total ridiculousness that fills their overstuffed racks. Shiny gold unitards? Really?

On a trip there recently (to pick up some hot pink leggings for a costume party – standard), I found myself WTF-ing from the front of the store to the back. I mean, a lace leotard? Who are they making these things for?

Who needs a hood on a swimsuit? I mean, you’re pretty much prepared to get wet if you’re wearing one, right?

Not only would this be extremely itchy (especially in a fey key areas), but could you imagine the underwear lines in this thing??

Um, this little guy is unisex.

Unless you’re starring in a Jane Fonda workout video from 1982, this is socially irresponsible.

Perfect for: church, meeting his parents, or turning tricks on shady street corners in dangerous parts of town. You decide.

Do you have a dance competition coming up? Do you want to learn to tap? Do you like the way swamp ass looks in a pair of sateen pants? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you still should not own these pants.

Creepy.

If the look on this model’s face says one thing it’s, “All this semi-nudity makes me uncomfortable.” Oddly enough, I’m making the same face.

    You seem to have missed the thong-pantyhose. Pantyhose with conveniently cut out butt-cheeks with a strip of panty hose left in the spot for the butt-crack. My personal fave.

    The lace leotard would look cute over a cami, with a skirt and a shrug or cardigan.

    haha….that blue dress. I was in Kohl's the other day checking out Lauren Conrads new stuff and she has the exact same dress in white.

    Uhh, the lace thong bodysuit is actually very functional. let's break it down:

    the lace part is just because lace is pretty. the thong part is for getting rid of underwear lines showing and the bodysuit part is for those who wear high waist skirts (i.e. don't want to have to bother with fixing a shirt that bunches up underneath).

    The buttless tights also have a purpose (for me personally) because i don't like how tights suck in my butt, and this would allow my booty to roam free. plus they're hot looking.

    but the rest of the stuff is just kind of hilariously weird (but i'm sure lots of people still buy them anyway).

    most of the swimsuits are also body suits so maybe thats why it has a hood? lol i personally own the full body lace one and its not itchy and is actually quite usefull =)

    Uhm, I'm a tap dancer, and no tappers would EVER wear those. Why did you even associate those pants with tap dancing??

    they hired porn actresses as models, what do you expect? one funny thing about that, is that they also have a kids line.

    but really what difference does it make.. if some little kid has hipster parents that will dress him in aa shit, he'll probably grow up fucked up anyway.

    It would be awesome if people would stop pretending to comment on the article when, in fact, they're just spamming the blog to try to improve the search ranking of their crappy blog or website that no one will ever visit, regardless of how much spam they generate.

    thats the thing about fashion, you know.. you gotta dare to be different.

    once you know how to pair the more bizarre pieces, they actually speak a style of your own :)

    i own the silk jumper pants and they are AMAZING and go with everything. and trust me, i really don't look anything like a tap dancer.

    and i really want that unisex hoodie. it's not weird. :(

    I actually think the shiny purple hoodie thing is kinda cool in a space age way. I don't understand the lace leotards and bodysuits, and the face shirt is just scary.

    I usualy like the brand, but sometimes there are also a bit weird. However the new winter collection is cool again :-)

Tell us what you're thinking...
