Ed Hardy Clothes

Hey, I don't consider myself that stylish a guy, but I know what I like.

What I don't like is loud, expensive, ostentatious clothes. However, I'm apparently in the minority, as designers like Ed Hardy are all the rage with their stunningly colorful shoes, jackets, belts and shirts. You'll know you're dressed stylishly in Ed Hardy as most of his clothing line costs as much as a second-hand Honda Civic.

The success of Ed Hardy's clothing line is in his use of panthers, eagles, tigers and other exciting animals to spruce up his designs. There's nothing that says 'I'm a tiger' like having a flippin' great tiger emblazoned on your t-shirt.

It's such bold designs which justify paying $41.95 for a pair of flip-flops - which is a bargain, when you think about it (he adds, with no justification whatsoever.) I don't know - I've never owned a pair of flip-flops so perhaps $41.95 is the going rate.

That being said, I've looked through all the Ed Hardy clothing line and I have to admit that some of the clothes in the 'ladies' line would look damn sexy on a curvy lady (like my missus.)

So... not to rain on any parades here... but the Ed Hardy clothes definitely don't fit us curvy girls. My old store sold the stuff, and the only thing I could fit into were the boys' items. Which were less than flattering on my curves. Then again, totally possible I'm bigger than Mummy Militant, but still. Point of reference.

And yes, I agree with you about the ridiculous austentation..ish..ness. whatever that word is. :)
