American Apparel

American Apparel has some of the worst clothing ever. Who in the world wears this stuff?

Case in point: Ad seen on textsfromlastnight.com. I can't believe they are actually advertising this look. Not only have I never seen someone wear something this horrible, I can't imagine anyone would want to, ever. "Fall Classics?" Please! If you're out there and you like this, please let me know, because I don't get it. It practically embodies the stereotype of the fashion-challenged nerd. Halloween costume maybe?

Don't get me wrong, some of their stuff is great, like the basic t-shirts seen on shirt.woot that I buy more often than I should, and I have nothing against the idea behind American Apparel, but the kid that wears that outfit in public is going to be mocked. MOCKED I say. And no one likes that.

American Apparel's advertising for women is another thing altogether. I mean are we selling sex or clothes here? Sex sells, I know, but these ads definitely aren't convincing me. Anyone else feel the same?

Case in point: Ad taken straight from American Apparel. I've seen this camera angle before. Where was it? Oh right, porn. Great.

So, what do you think? Would anyone actually buy these things?
Explanation, please!
