Newyorkette style: a fashion please don’t

(quick sketch: carolita johnson)
It’s fashion week in New York, so we’re all doing our best to look good. Newyorkette does not presume to prescribe or proscribe any fashion, being possessed of a “live and let live” style (or lack thereof) philosophy. But every now and then I must let escape a “please don’t.” Yesterday in front of Fairway Supermarket on 74th street and Broadway I saw a woman wearing these sweatpants.
Please don’t wear clothing that brings attention to your rectum. It’s not polite.

Seriously, thank you. All of those pants with the booty words are obnoxious, but I will have to agree that this one tops them all!
