Just like any other music festival, SXSW not only is a great display of emerging talent but it’s also a showcase for emerging fashion. This year’s SXSW welcomed a plethora of fashionistas from all walks of life: some were cute in their style, while other were just god awful. Take a look below at the Top Six Fashion Trends at SXSW. I’m sure there were more, but these were the ones we saw numerous times. Leave a comment below if you have some cute or hideous SXSW fashion trends to add.

FEATHERS – OMG! As if it wasn’t bad enough in L.A., just about every girl was wearing feather extensions in their hair. Don’t get me wrong, I actually think they look cute on most girls, but some just over do it (stick to one side ladies). I guess it’s out with the colored streaks and in with the poultry feathers!
GRANNY DRESSES – I went shopping a couple months ago and was pissed off that all I can find was loud and obnoxious dresses that I’d find in my Grandma’s closet. Either that our those terrible floral prints. WTF?
SMITH WESTERN HATS – This has already been overly popular in L.A. for a few years now, but the hipsters still love to wear them, especially the dudes.
BIFOCALS/THICK RIMMED GLASSES – They didn’t look cool on Urkel and they still don’t look “cool” on you. I hate this whole nerd glasses trend.
TIGHT SPANDEX DRESSES – Hey, if you have the body, rock it sista. I think gals that have brought back the tight fitted 80s spandex dress look adorable. BTW, “Hey double bubble!”
SOCKS WITH JAZZ SHOES – The last time I wore a pair of jazz shoes was on my way to jazz dance when I was five years old. I have plenty of friends that wear these silly shoes with loud colored sock. I don’t get it … ewww, but I still love you.
P.S. – for those overly sensitive, don’t take this shit personal. And if you do, you’re lame.

@Sandy okay good. (:
do you blog in any other pages?
Haha @ Roger! Too funny! Yeah, I’m so gonna rock all these styles…at once…even a pink booty bubble of my own. Good stuff.
I agree with most of those but I LOVE glasses. I don’t rock a particularly large pair though because it doesn’t look great on me
Oh my oh my, can I haz double pink booty bubble????
Thank you Berline! All fixed!
You forgot the “rompers”. Better left to the toddlers…
Just to inform you misspelled the word month on the granny dresses is wrong.
