At some point between late 2015 and Taboo Sex: Daughter in law, Sister in law, Mother in law (2025)early 2016, the ubiquitous cold-shoulder top took hold of fast fashion and has since refused to let go. You know the ones -- those dumb, otherwise long-sleeved shirts with holes inexplicably cut from the shoulder. True to name, they make your shoulders cold and your life just a little bit worse.

Now another another unforgivable trend is creeping its way into fast fashion stores across America.

The look: Business attire made borderline unwearable.

Imagine trying to iron this shirt when you are already 10 minutes behind schedule.

Imagine sitting down to dinner in an air-conditioned restaurant, but being unable to pull on a sweater due to your outsized left sleeve.

Imagine having just one sweaty armpit. Just one!

Are you taking it all in? Do you hate these shirts as much as I do? Good. Here are some others to hate-stare at.
