Travel + Leisure released yet another list ranking America's cities on various topics of desirable and undesirable characteristics. This time: Which 20 cities have the "worst-dressed people" in the nation?

Aram Boghosian for The Boston Globe

We're watching you, hoodie monsters.

So, GQ caused a commotion when they put us on the top of their Worst-Dressed list (of 40), but fret not my fellow Boston style savants -- it appears we've risen above. Or at least 18 spots back on Travel + Leisure's list of the 20 worst in America.

Yes, we are number 18. Are we proud? (Not particularly.) Do we care? (No.)

But we digress. The publication blames "this one on the co-eds" and their "slouchy sweatshirts and pajama bottoms, or with their collars popped." A similar observation was made by GQ, with the subtle disclaimer: "It's hard to be a fashion capital when half of your population is made up of undergraduate hoodie monsters."

Thoughts? Do you disagree? Or do you agree? Comment below.
