    I don't recognise one of these. Pringle sweaters-they obviously aren't from the fancy tayto crowd?
    :o so probably just me who's mates were 1980s football hooligans so.. if it's any help, "Casual" was pretty much the look for the equivalent 1980's teenager - much like the Chavsters of today, only more stylish, well, IMO. If you didn't have a Pringle, a Lyle and Scott would do. And Lacoste made your Polo t-shirt if Fred Perry didn't. The Diadoras were non-negotiable though and Farah was where it was at. Basically, taking old-lads golf clothes and ruffing the look up. Fighting was a part of the look, the Chelsea smilers and inter-city crews were casuals. Plenty of lads got turned over for their Diadoras as they were very expensive - at one stage if you bought them instead of took them off someone, you were a bit of a cissy.

    Fatman pants are the greatest things ever to wear. I dont own any other tracksuit bottoms anymore.

    Feels great taking off the jeans after work and putting on a pair.

    What are "fatman pants"? Google implies they're just generic tracksuit bottoms so I'm none the wiser. Is it a brand? Tbh, I'd find this trend of using stupid names for ordinary items far more pathetic than teens following the fashion.

    Fat man pants are cotton elasticated pants, which doesn't roll off the tongue quite well hence "fat man pants". They're made by the usual sports clothing manufacturers.

    They're normally grey and normally worn by college students, athletes or anyone else who appreciates the importance of comfort after a long day of doing whatever.

    The internet tells me they may be known as "fleece pants" (not sure if they're the exact same).

    They're soft, free-flowing leg huggers sent by the Lord Jesus Christ himself.

    It's sick because it doesn't have fat man pants to keeps it's legs warm.

    Also, it doesn't have any legs.

    I think they wear chinos.


    Fashion is so hard to follow these days. Can't we all just grow mullets and wear leather jackets again?

    Some are in the denial stage, it's a lengthy process for some.

    Yes, I am a male teenager
    No, I'm wearing my dark blue skinny jeans
    No, I have my DC's on at the moment
    I have hair that's about halfway between the bottom of my ears and my shoulders.

    So, no I'm not one of these creatures you're describing. I'm worse.

    I was apprehensive at first too, but I said I'd give them a go just to see what'd happen. Picked up a young wan the first night I wore them, and haven't taken them off since ;)

    Perhaps they dress the same as their mates because them and their mates share common interests, including fashion, and so choose to wear comparable clothes.

    Perhaps. But sometimes there's zero difference. It kind of mocks individuality, something I appreciate.

    Not on GTAF anymore?

    Teenage boys always looked like prats, did they not? To be perfectly honest I haven't been taking much notice lately, largely because of these utterly wonderful Daisy Duke short-shorts that seem to be fashionable among shapely young ladies these days. ;)

    Being an individual doesn't require a unique fashion sense.

    Jesus, that's random. Someone asked me the same thing a couple of months ago on a different site. Haven't been there in years (although I might have popped back once or twice to get updates on the latest GTA).

    It may well be, but the current teenage practice of (mis-)using the word "random" is, in fact, pseudorandom.

    As a determinist I suggest psuedorandom is the only form of random so their interchangeable use is entirely justifiable.
