Bachelor(ette) Looks We’re Bored Of
Now is the time when we come together on a weekly basis and witness one of America’s most beloved pop culture traditions - the Bachelorette. This year comes with a twist, as we get to relentlessly mock not only one group of unsuspecting gentlemen and their prized princess, but two. Despite all of our love and affection for the Bachelor(ette) franchise, there are some looks that have to go. Overplayed, outdated, or downright frightful, these looks have had their time in the sun. Now it’s time to put them to rest.
Bright White Sneakers

2. Undersized Men’s Suits
Perhaps the undersized suit is meant to (not so) subtly imply a man is so muscular that no suit on earth can contain him. But suit pants that hang several inches above the ankle scream “13 year old who had to dress himself for his first Bat-mitzvah event”. Do better, boys.
3. Capes (?)
Occasionally, American women who spend five minutes in Europe decide that shawls and capes are suddenly in vogue. They’re not. And please stop.

But does every woman need hair below the nipple to be on the show? This look isn’t always as beauty-enhancing as people think. Please, Bachelor franchise, try to get some bobs or (gasp!) pixie cuts in there once in a while. The Rapunzel locks are suffocating.
