The Biggest Upset of the Super Bowl was the Fashion

Kendrick Lamar brings back low rise flare jeans, and Taylor went 2017 Frat Basement.

The most exciting part of the Super Bowl was once the commercials, the assortment of dips, and the halftime show. But as of lately, it has been the fashion… at least for us girlies that love a good show but don’t care much for sports. The most exciting sport related part of the Super Bowl for me has to be crying for the losing team because they were so, so close to making their childhood dreams come true; or the rookie (shout out Cooper DeJean) who just scored his first touchdown and imagining his parents sobbing with pride in the stands… but I digress.

The fashion is my Super Bowl.

And not too much on my girl Taylor, I’ll always defend her, but her styling is something not even a super fan like myself can look past. With all the money in the world, its almost like her and her stylist are committed to missing. It’s especially perplexing because I full heartedly believe, that any of the girls on Rodeo would style her to death for free. It’s got to be a marketing stunt, right? Because there is simply no way she chose to go 2019 frat basement chic to THE SUPER BOWL.

Taylor is a trailblazer in every category, and continually flops when it comes to styling. She truly could have the most sickening looks, and she chooses to do this. I will never understand. She’s still my girl. I can forgive, but I certainly cannot forget.

Sidebar, but imagine if the halftime performance was Lil’ Wayne. I mean, he’s from New Orleans, Louisiana, helllooooooo!

It was hard for me to enjoy the halftime show because I was so distracted by Kendrick Lamar’s jeans. They need a little hem for sure, but it took me back to my light wash low rise flare jeans that I wore every day in high school. Either from the Gap or Abercrombie, purchased in a anxious state of tears while my mom throws more clothes for me to try on over the dressing room door during our annual back to school shopping trip. Worn to almost every high school party with a “bootie” and a ugly af shirt from Forever 21. Am I dating myself? Whatever, I’m 28. I’ll save you from doing the math!

Ahhh, good times. Thank you for bringing back a cult classic, Kenny. This might actually be a butterfly effect for the next wave of women’s fashion. I’m about to go dig out my favorite flares from my closet at my parents’ house. Truly nothing made my butt look better than them. Thank you for the reminder, xx.

Alix Earle’s look was another confusing choice. Matrix chic in 80 degree weather is definitely… a statement. As a fellow Jersey Girl, I can sympathize. We do have a unhealthy attachment to leather, animal print, and eyeliner. But there’s a time and a place. I imagine she has an elaborate team of stylists at this point, so it truly begs the question if this is just a PR move for attention, because huh? Braxton looked great though.

All I can imagine, is the scene from Friends where Ross wears his new leather pants to a date, and spends the whole time sweating in the bathroom. My girl had to have been sweating and on the verge of tears. I know I would have been.

I love the shades and the new hair, I will say. But overall, I’m confused here. He just does too much sometimes. Creepy club owner from the 70’s vibe.

Saquon looked great in all denim. Something the girlies can definitely appreciate to be on trend right now.

The flares again, I’m sensing a theme here! But more importantly, I am crying at the Goyard. And more specifically the way DeVonta Smith is holding it. This year the fashion girls have been loving to pose with their bags like this, which is a little confusing because the handles on their bags certainly exist. Mr. Smith is definitely tapped in.

I love that the men are rocking bags! And the fact that Jalen Hurts appears to be sporting a The Row Margaux makes it even more perfect.

Fashion in sports is definitely becoming a major piece of the game. Angel Reese was the cover of Vogue this month. It’s such an amazing way to get more people interested, and for the players to really shine and show off their personality. And we will definitely be watching!
