Why did the girls look like white trash in this season?


Maybe it's because I'm watching it in 2011 but weren't their clothes extremely ugly and/or trashy? I mean even their hair looked bad and messy. Was it supposed to be funny?

I'm appalled by my own wit, but I can't resist:
They dress like white trash, because that's what they are.

The way they dressed reflected the time. Especially in the first two seasons. That kind of style was popular amongst 20 year olds around then, in the early 2000s, as tacky as it was. Nicole's style got better as the seasons went on though, because she got a stylist and her fashion/dress sense evolved/matured.

Nicole was channeling Christina Aguilera circa 2002-03 with the clothes and zebra striped weaves in the first two seasons. Talk about a fashion turnaround! Paris, on the other hand....

Was thinking the EXACT thing. I could see why they became friends. Both wild and rebellious with piercings and tats when they were 21.

Both Paris and Nicole had started dressing a lil bit more classier in the later seasons.

Honestly, that was what was in at the time. I was in 8th grade when this aired and girls my age through college were trying to do that, maybe less provocative for the younger ones but that was in. Even their different colored ratty hair extensions were in. Like it was cool to have those ridiculously long extensions that didn't look perfect. It was "trashy chic".
