Oh no, mullet dresses!

They’re short in the front, long in the back and were a hot trend in 2013
By Anne Kingston

One day, Ph.D. theses will be written to explain how an odious haircut beloved by bikers, hockey players and David Bowie circa 1972 became a major fashion trend in 2013. But you don’t have to be an anthropologist to figure it out: the mullet’s “business in the front, party in the back” ethic is inverted once it hits the red carpet, where a short front shows off the legs, while a long back maintains formal protocol. Genius! Edgy! Too bad it still looks idiotic.
