We're back, after QUITE the hiatus.
So, down to business:
What on this good earth is Dumpster Chic? To give you the short version, it is neutral, bag-lady esque garb that only a celebrity physique could pull off. So why are we writing about it? BECAUSE THERE'S NOTHING ON THE WEB CONCERNING DUMPSTER CHIC!!! We tried searching it, but---nothing. So here we are, trying to do it justice.
As mentioned before, Dumpster Chic has its beginnings in the Heroin Chic of the 90's. For those of you who don't know, the 90's was a drab time on the brink of technology with bad fashion. Heroin chic was the only edgy thing to come out of it. (Sorry, Radiohead, you lose.) Heroin Chic included waif-like body types, pale complexions, and, once again, neutral clothes. Add some bruises and cigarettes and you're good to go!
Ok, this is a perfect example of DC.
So let's break this down:
First, we haaaaaave: Ripped jeans. IT'S A MUST HAVE. We don't care of they're skinny or flared, but they must be ripped. Not carefully shredded like Taylor Momsen herself (God rest her soul, she gave it to the Devil) but just a few holes and rips.
SECOND: Oversized cardigan. Another must-have. You must have a black one but grey or white works as well.
Third, to complete this outfit, you must have a giant scarf. Mayhaps not one this gigantic--we ARRRE trying to make this style wearable--but any scarf will do. But no skull scarves (so 2009) and you don't really need a scarf to defend against subzero temperatures, but whatever floats your boat floats ours.
By the way, what ever you do, DO NOT wear Converse All-Stars. They are tacky and dated, and should be reserved only for the use of middle aged roadies. Ok, we got that out.
Tune in next time for more uproarous fashion!
LOOOOOOOVEEEE--- Dumpster Divers
