Poverty stricken women with torn clothes on the streets of Dublin

josephryan1989

It's not just homeless women who are wearing torn clothes especially jeans and trousers with rips and holes in them but women from formerly posh areas are walking the streets with torn clothes.

Women wearing hats with the tops missing, surplus army jackets that tramps used to wear and big tears in their pants.

Shocking!

It's distressing.

Don't you have anything more important to worry about than the fashion preferences of women from posh areas?

Valetta

Could be worse.

They could be wearing pyjamas.

Yeah the 80s are back fashion wise. I'm just surprised shoulder pads aren't back too, though it may be only a matter of time.

Mugatu presents "Derelicte!"

The weather is still cold this time year so they are going out without being kitted out for it.

If they can't afford hats with tops on them or new pants even in posh areas poverty must really be biting.

Someone will be around soon to install your new non-twitchable curtains.

This is not a joke. One or two ladies from the Foxrock region have been sighted in Gibney's wearing last year's Jimmy Choo's, like feral cats or something.

It's called hobo chic.

Eau moi Gawd loike, it's nouveau shabby couture guys! Hipsterism is so passé, now in post-recession Ireland we're like, ironically empathising with the oppressed underclasses, you know?

Maybe she sold the kids to buy the pyjamas...?

pyjamas are essential fashion items amongst a certain section, she was probably loaded

I'm a big scary psychopath and I like to wear M1A1 flight jackets. For years I have been getting them from the surplus army shop near Capel Steet. I usually wear them with 501 Levis heavy boots and aviation sunglasses.

Now all these posh young things have been copying my look plus they are wearing ragged jeans.

People used to stand aside when they saw me coming...

It's not on.

That sounds like the sort of thing a small over-compensating lad would say.

It's called being a hipster....

That's exactly what the term is for that look.
Well done.

contemporary fashion is distasteful? Shocking!

Incidentally OP, I'm sure whatever cow died to give you your shoes or boots is happy in the afterlife, secure in the knowledge and pride that she laid down her life for a thoroughly worthy cause. :rolleyes:
