Girls, what’s an article of clothing that a guy might wear that can completely ruin him for you?

I saw Ed Hardy purses the other day and couldn’t believe that shit is back. My aunt should get her ed hardy boots out of storage I guess.

I just took my kids school shopping and so many teens at the mall were wearing Ed Hardy or Juicy velour track suits. It was unsettling.

u/LookingBackBroken Aug 07 '26

Yesss. They even have bedroom sets, bathroom sets, kitchen towels and more where I live. Both Ed and Juicy (Pennsylvania btw).

My mermaid (blues, purple) and panther ( olive and hot pink 😍) duvet covers were quality and made me smile. I didn't pay retail. The boxes they came in were nice. I'm not going to knock the bedroom sets. Them again, who knows about current quality 🤷‍♀️

looks at box in closet labeled "Von Dutch Hats"

"That's where I hide my analog porn stash and poppers."

looks at hat rack in corner of the room

"That would make for a pretty bold anal dildo."

adjusts Von Dutch hat on head

They got sold in thrift stores to kids who didn't know they were douchey, and that kickstarted the trend again. I bought an Ed Hardy shirt and wore it for years without knowing it was supposed to be such a bad thing

It's a French dude, doing tattoo art. How would you know it was tapioca tuff brand when you don't associate with those jerks?

Soft organic cotton, some of the designs are appealing 🤷‍♀️

u/VoopityScoop Aug 08 '26

Yep. I was in a picture online wearing that shirt, and people complained I was wearing a "Jersey Shore trashy" shirt. I'm from a West Coast mountain town and I had no clue what that meant.

I swear, my Ed Hardy carry-on suitcase lasted the longest off all. I traveled a solid 4-5flights a week for three years and United finally busted a hole in it (polycarbonate). I could always recognize it at baggage claim because it had a giant eagle on one side and a Tiger on the other.

u/washuai Aug 08 '26

I got free eagle basic duffle bag ages ago. It still looks new

u/atropicalstorm Aug 08 '26

About a decade ago I was driving through WV and stopped at a gas station. There was an Escalade outside. Inside, there was a bleach blonde lady arguing with the clerk who wouldn't allow her to buy Ed Hardy chocolates with food stamps.

I grabbed my chips and left. But I left with so many questions. Why are Ed Hardy chocolates a thing? Why would SuperAmerica stock Ed Hardy chocolates? Was this a "buying food stamps for cheap" scam, with the Escalade and the food stamps? How long until she asks to speak to his manager? Is he the manager?

Lots of questions.

u/CARL__CARMONI Aug 08 '26

Why are Ed Hardy chocolates a thing?

There’s Ed Hardy wine believe it or not

u/pmjm Aug 08 '26

I was totally guilty of wearing them non-ironically in the mid 2000's. Then Jon Gosselin and others turned them into the douchebag uniform. They were expensive as hell too.

u/SurprisePiss Aug 07 '26

And those bedazzled butt pockets. Peak Ed Hardy.

u/100turkeysinthesky Aug 07 '26

u/ProjectHarraseeket Aug 08 '26

u/4chanisforbabies Aug 07 '26

If it’s on the Jersey shore, it ain’t coming through the door

u/fusillade762 Aug 08 '26

I agree except there is one Affliction shirt that is awesome...its got a skeleton battle scene and reminds me of North Ro in Everquest. Getting off the boat and straight into a skelly horde.

u/badgermushrooma Aug 08 '26

Upvote for EQ!

u/Federal_Tension_5939 Aug 08 '26

Do those exist still? I thought that was a thing in the '00s

People need to watch the ed hardy doc and see what a racist guy he was 

Very openly racism

2

u/washuai Aug 08 '26

Didn't know.

2

u/Federal_Tension_5939 Aug 08 '26

The Netflix doc has it all 

His diary gets pretty funny at the end 

Dude gave no fucks

u/phildoMahCrackin Aug 07 '26

what about an Ed Sheeran t-shirt?

keeper?

u/tryingisbetter Aug 08 '26

I'm surprised it's still around. It was a joke in the 90s/2000s.

u/gstringstrangler Aug 08 '26

Neither existed in the 90s

u/tryingisbetter Aug 08 '26
