Locky Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 What is with half the gear that c**ts walk about wearing these days? Saw a boy the other day up town who was dressed up like some kind of Lord with his big tache and pipe yet he was no much older than me. Also, wearing trousers that are short in the leg? Sorry, but if I ever turned up to school with trousers that were too short I'd get laughed right back out the door. Not only that, but no wearing socks with trainers? That's schemie. Chinos brigade, feck off. People who dress up as 'geeks', feck off. Dressing up like some 1930's detective, feck off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott_jambo Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 For the more fashionable of us, it looks like the white sports trainers, shan denim jeans and ill-fitting t shirt is looking very dated also. about time too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's wrong with just a smart pair of jeans and a decent pair of shoes/trainers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dobmisterdobster Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 What baffles me are chavs who buy expensive clothing despite being on the dole. Am I meant to be impressed by that? All it proves is that you are shit at managing your money. Your kids child benefit money is for your kids. Not for you to buy the latest designer sportswear!

Guest Bilel Mohsni Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 One thing that I've noticed is different nowadays is that the sources of fashion inspiration have changed somewhat for kids and young guys. When I was a kid it was the 'baggy' look like The Mondays and The Roses and then a few years later it was the Oasis look and then the American Hip-hop style. Say what you want about early nineties indie, brit-pop/mid to late nineties indie or hip-hop... Regardless of whether you like those types of music, they were generally considered to be a bit edgy or cool at the time. The guys that age now who dress like One Direction or Justin Bieber... I don't want to believe that they also listen to and enjoy these bands/artists... Surely not? Have things really changed that much in 15-20 years?

Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2 Things have improved immeasurably for kids though. In the 90s living in fife there wasn't a single shop that sold even half decent clobber, and you were stuck buying shan gear out of USC on a trip through to Edinburgh. It's not a bad thing that kids today can go to topman (Not really my style, but it's good for a few basic t shirts and the odd jumper) and buy a pair of jeans, a plain t shirt or a shirt or jumper for a decent price and not look like total tramps. And they can do it in smaller towns as well, or online. It's basically more democratic, although it also means that any real authentic trends are bought up, repackaged and sold on for corporate profit. It is fairly amusing that all the joey essex bell chiefs who, a year or two back, would shout abuse across the street at folk wearing skinny jeans are now stoating about in deep v t shirts, skinny jeans and plimsolls.
