Trailer Trash Couture/ Tacky Chic

KhaoticKharma · 06-06-2006

I've noticed that over the last few years, this has been a big thing with the 'new money' set, particularly in cities such as Los Angeles and London. I would consider just about anything Juicy Couture to be trailer trash-y, and Britney Spears.

On the other side of the pond, it's a bit less trailer trash and just sort of garrish. I think the women of Footballers Wive$ are a prime example of that! Katie 'Jordan' Price is also a firm believer in the smaller, flashier, and glitterier, the better

I don't think Vic's dress looks trashy at all

masquerade · 06-06-2006

arlekindearrabal · 06-06-2006

^that's poor trailer trash...

astatine · 06-06-2006

I don't think this trend is limited to just shiny, glittery and neon stuff...over the years we've seen plenty of people shelling out good money for jeans that look like they got pulled through a cheese shredder

I'd call this "buy-your-own-Russian" style more than trailer trash...it reeks of money thrown at bad taste.

...or "daytime tv" style?

tifa · 06-06-2006

how is this trailer trash? this is footballers wives...

Kizzume · 06-06-2006

Not much different than gangster types spending thousands from their drug money on their ghetto looking outfits and gaudy gold chains and buying hydrolics for their cars. It's all in what culture someone comes from.

To the rich women wearing the gaudy dresses, they think it looks great.

EDIT: I've gotta say, I've seen much trashier looking outfits at awards shows than the green dress in the bottom picture.

ewww it's called trash for a reason.
