Current fashion.

I was never a very fashion conscious person but I'm lost with the current trends. Turned up jeans, skinny multi colored jeans and christmas lookin jumpers with fully buttoned shirt underneath, every woman I see is wearing skin tight leggings that leaves nothing but the color of the unnoticeable thong to the imagination. Sounds good in theory but it didnt seem to stop with nice arses and what has been seen cant be unseen

Why cant we all just go back to jeans and t-shirts ?

I've taken the giant leap from jeans and t-shirts to jeans t-shirts and woolly jumpers. baby steps.

Jeans, t shirts and cons is what I wear most days, cant bate it.

What's really depressing is when you're old enough to realize how much current fashion is a direct facsimile of the 80s.

The stuff looked fucking bad enough 30 years ago.

Jimmy Kimmel pretty much summed up fashion (be it the runway or fashion trends for me)

And yes, the best response has to be the dude with green hair and the black girl. What a douchebag.

I feel like a 12 year old version of myself, or a boy when I wear jeans and tshirts

charlietheminxx · 11-10-2013 11:01PM

I'm so glad I've always been a fashion reject!

It means not trying to fit in with the fugly clothes everywhere at the moment.

An oul pair of Wranglers and a check shirt sure, not out of place when bailing or out on the town.

I'm still fighting the urge to wear old man jumpers. But a spell of cold weather could be my undoing.

I know nowt about fashion and do not keep up with any trends but I happened to see a young guy in a boy band on the XFactor last week, wearing (from memory) a tropical type shirt, shorts with socks and brown leather shoes.

If thats how the young 'uns dress, I'm glad I'm old.

LETHAL LADY · 11-10-2013 11:05PM

The older I get the higher the waistband, my kishka knows no bounds.

Is it just my impression or are there a lot of guys in their 20s dressing and quaffing their hair like Justin Bieber? Creeps me out.

Most popular hair do I can see is shaved sides and neatly combed over on top. The old short back and sides with spiked fringe seems to be a 30+ thing now.

Eh, sorry to make you feel even older but the Grunge look is well and truly in. Was wandering around Zara yesterday and saw all the same clothes I wore at that age (gypsy skirts, lumberjack shirts, red and black stripey jumpers, t-shirts with Nirvana on them, slip dresses with long cardigans over them, hairy coats, Doc Martiny-looking shoes).

I felt well fooking old I tell ye.

oversized, overwashed and over a t-shirt, that's my motto.
In the fashion industry they call this layering. I think. The gist of it is to wear all of the clothes at the same time, I approve of this approach as I tend to like being warm when I get dressed.

(a soft grey jumper is my favourite kind of comfort)

I don't keep up with fashion, jean and tee-shirts all the way for me, however my niece was telling me that A and F is our and Pink by Victoria's secret is in.

Surely all clothing adheres to some fashion. There is a lady in my hometown that makes her own clothes from carpet pieces. She wears trousers that some fancy fecker designer would cream their pantaloons to.

Karl Stein · 11-10-2013 11:32PM

You know you're not as young as you used to be when you think 'I wonder how comfortable these are' before trying on a new item of clothing.

This.

Even if you were to look at a picture of somebody in jeans, t-shirt and trainers from any time in the last 50 years, you'd pretty much guess the decade.

Unless you consciously source original retro clothes, you are a'ways part of a broader sweep of history than you ever realize.

Even when I see photos of myself as a teenager now, despite thinking I was really alternative and distinctive and really trying to look alternative, you'd put me in the 80s in an instant.

Brings a whole new meaning to carpet burn! Sounds painful. :eek:

Bizarre as it is she is a happy lady.

You don't really have a choice but to be somewhat "fashionable" when that's all that's in the shops.

I started wearing skinny jeans only cos I couldn't buy anything else.

I like them now, though.

Weirdly enough, I always detested that look back in the day for guys as in I wouldn't ever wear it myself but I always thought it suited women and looked OK.

Shag pile would be the last thought in your head if you saw this lady.

Imagine how easy life is for women in Saudi Arabia in terms of fashion ( I know they are second class citizens eg they cant vote, drive, go anywhere without a male sponsor etc). But when they wake up in the morning they have the choice of a black abaya or a black abaya.

I was never one for fashion. As a kid/teen I wore sportswear most of the time, was not in any way shape or form a "girly girl". Now I wear dresses pretty much all the time. I usually wear a particular shape dress, I have lots and lots of dresses in that shape. I have been wearing the same shaped dress for years, since I figured out it was what suited my shape! So that's my lot.

Until my body shape changes or I just get too old to wear tight fitting dresses, I'm unlikely to change! Sometimes fashion fits in with what I wear, but then it goes back out again and I'm still wearing the same stuff!

Dresses are great for people who know feck all about fashion - a whole outfit in one go! No messing.

Yes, this. But meticulously styled and groomed and with skinny jeans. They almost look photoshopped in real life.

Current fashion.
