We're #1!!

Sadly, I'd have to say I agree with this.....but only because they obviously didn't look at Worcester or Springfield while doing their research. Had those 2 cities been included, Massachusetts would have the top 3 seeds locked up and Boston might not have looked quite so bad! Just another reason to consider moving to Providence.

BOSTON (FOX 25 / MyFoxBoston.com) - Boston is a city known for its rich history, institutes of higher learning and dominance of the sports world, but apparently not sartorial splendor. GQ has named Boston the worst-dressed city in America.

According to the GQ article :
Boston is like America's Bad-Taste Storm Sewer: all the worst fashion ideas from across the country flow there, stagnate, and putrefy. To be fair, it's hard to be a fashion capital when half of your population is made up of undergraduate hoodie monsters...

So, in essence, Boston is a bad fashion city because of college kids, mostly not from Boston, dressing sloppily.  OK.  Maybe we have the most annoying public transportation for the same reason.  When does that list come out?

If you're still feeling bummed out about our city's poor couture designation, check out the rest of the list, it's filled with, essentially, every major city in America.  Just think of it as another championship for Boston.
Here are the bottom 10 of the 40 Worst-Dressed American Cities
10. St. Louis
9. Miami
8. Salt Lake City
7. Maui
6. Philly
5. Manhattan
4. Chicago
3. Pittsburgh
2. Los Angeles
1. Boston
