GQ recently made it official with an issue (April 2015) devoted to SportsCore, or the elevation of workout clothing to designer attention - and prices. These $865 sweatpants from Lanvin are part of a very bad trend. Are they made of gold perhaps? No, cotton, just like the ones from the Gap.

Work out wear should be basic, and cheap. If you're not going to the gym, don't wear it. If you are going to the gym, keep it simple. $40 sweats and a $10 white tee shirt will do just fine. If you want to impress the dudes at the gym, do a 285 pound bench press, with good form. If you want to impress us, do the 285 bench and then help an old lady find the 5 pound plate she's looking for. If you want to be the gym joke, wear fancy clothes.

(And a little tip for you - the guys lifting the most weight are the most covered up.)

Query: If you spent your entire life looking, could you find any shoes uglier and stupider than these? These are the Omega leather sandals from KTZ. The bad news: they're stupid and ugly. The good news: they're only $628. Proving again that shoes are better than people, because most stupid and ugly people are far more expensive, one way or the other.

Do you wake up at 2 in the afternoon and ring for a soy latte? Did you dad give you something red and shiny for last Christmas from a company called Ferrari? Did you wreck two days later? Are you dating a Russian model who expects a present every time you have sex? If you answered yes to any of these questions we have the shoes for you. These beauties are from Givenchy, Baby's Breath Print Tyson Calfskin Sneakers, a steal at $1,175.

If you're a man shopping for underwear you've probably found its not easy to find without the designer's name boldly emblazoned on the band. Why is this? Do designers, who tend to be megalomaniacs, really believe we want to see their name in big letters as we put on our underwear? Let's be clear on this - we don't. And, in fact, we refuse to buy any such as these.

This ad appeared in Essential Homme magazine. What is DSQUARED trying to prove? That their customers are infected with stds that cause crotch grabbing? Is that cool these days?

These are not men; they are boys dressed up like men. Why is it that designers, in this case Donna Karan, think it is cool to dress up teenagers in suits like this? The target market for these suits is a middle aged man, or perhaps a youngish business man, but it sure as heck is not teenagers.

This is David Beckham. He is a very rich, very famous soccer star. He has a sense of style. He has a lovely ambitious wife. He can make some bad business decisions and he's still be rich. He can disagree with his wife but they'll get over it. He can retire from soccer, switch careers and find plenty of interesting things to do, like starring in ads like this one for a clothing chain. But if he decides he wants his natural skin back, he'll find its Hell to get rid of those tats. Some bad decisions are much harder to get out of than others.

Generally speaking, we love the designs of the Armani company, both for men and women. But this photo from armani.com, advertising their most expensive line (Prive, or Private) Is a good example of the reason that fashion comes under attack for encouraging unhealthy deprivations and dieting. The outfit is beautiful, but there is nothing healthy or robust about this woman. Look at those toothpick arms! Some women may think she has a great figure, if your idea of great is bulimic. And Armani is based in Italy, producer of sexy, curvy women in the great tradition of Sophia Loren, among many others. Healthy women are strong women; this girl needs to hit the nearest gym for some heavy lifting, and then the nearest pasta palace.

There seem to be lots of people in the world that sit around wondering "How can I waste a lot of money today?" Apparently they already have a Silver Shadow Rolls and a red Ferrari, as well as a really ostentatious mansion in Scottsdale they use for 1 week a year. But then a brainstorm. Instead of buying a dull but comfortable sweatshirt at Gap for $40, I'll buy one from Gucci for $850! Brilliant.

We're just curious, really.

These beauties are by Dolce and Gabbana, both of whom must laugh out loud whenver they hear someone bought a pair. Did you have a bet with someone as to find the stupidest way to spend your inheritance? Did you get bored with your red Ferrari? Are you just trying to see if they give prizes for world's biggest idiot?
