Summer Fashion Poll Results

By  
on

The results of our summer fashion polls are in (see our original posts here and here), and the message is loud and clear: ATL readers don’t like arms. You gave emphatic thumbs-down to spaghetti-strap tops for women and short-sleeved dress shirts for men.
The latter was the object of much mockery: “i feel like telling the guys who are wearing them to go back to the appliance store and sell some more ovens,” said one commenter.
More discussion and poll results, after the jump.


Here are the results from the tank top and short-sleeved dress shirt polls:

Women were narrowly divided on the question of capri pants. Close to half of you would wear them to work in some circumstances, while the rest of you think they’re best left in the late-90s, or, as one commenter put it: on “old ladies at baby showers in Queens.”

There was no clear consensus on seersucker suits. Only about 20 percent of you would never wear one, and some of you love them (“It is like wearing a small air conditioner,” said one seersucker enthusiast). Others took the view that seersucker is acceptable in certain parts of the country, and with the right accessories (like white bucks). Still others took the opportunity to bash Joakim Noah.

Thanks to everyone who voted!
