I think it's nice that people express themselves through the medium of what they choose to wear.


It helps avoid the twats, and frankly the world would be a vanilla place if everything was tasteful.


Apart from Crocs. Always always apart from Crocs. Burn the Crocs. A lot.

Crisp white shirts....with black bra showing through underneath. Horrible.


Culottes. They don't suit anyone.


Tartan trousers.


Gladiator sandals.


Ugg boots.


Crocs on adults.


'Christmas' jumpers.


Sequinned jackets and trousers/accessories.


Leather trousers.


Hunter wellies worn in the city. (Pleased for Hunter's sales figures and its given me many a laugh so shouldn't really complain).


Although of course, it doesn't really matter what you wear, you've either got it or you haven't. Best to be yourself.

Guilty - although not Hunters (very 2009 darling - all about the Chameau this year). But in mitigating circumstances the weather was rather inclement.

Ok let me add to that list:

String vests on anyone.

Bolero jackets on large busted women.

Fleeces. No matter how 'high-tec' or expensive they are, you still look scruffy.

Dungarees.


What type of fashion was going on back in '97? Probably boot cut jeans, ankle boots and puffa jackets. I shall add those to my list (with the possible inclusion of 'Chameau (2011) worn by men. In the city. Whatever the weather' too).

Fair enough, perhaps I'm being unnecessarily harsh but the blokes I have seen wearing them tend to look like they are trying too hard to be on trend so its put me off. Maybe they had low slung skinny jeans as well...


Never heard of Chameau, I thought Hunter's revival was earlier than that actually. I predict Barbour wellies for next year's must have rubber wear btw.

Fashion can be art and it can be theatre. Personally, I can get as much of a kick out of standing outside a shop looking at a stunning gown in the window as I can from wandering around any museum or gallery. I don't need to own it or to wear it (although that would be nice) to appreciate it's fabulousness.


I also enjoy watching how young people put together their outfits. Since the beginning of time teenagers have looked for ways to express themselves (music, clothes etc) and I'm uplifted when I see a teenager looking uniquely and creatively put together - especially as it is usually done on a budget of sweet FA.

Oh, and I don't mind Lady Ga Ga. Sure, she's copying those who have gone before, but so what? I would hate to think that her predecessors had slammed the door shut after them. If she took herself seriously she would be unbearable, but she doesn't, she's having FUN.

    • Signed, and I will share it elsewhere, thank you for posting this. It's got nearly 70,000 signatures at present, and apparently runs till February.
    • There’s a couple of Gov petitions going on in relation to fireworks at the moment but this one is for banning them entirely except organised displays if anyone wants to sign. This is the only sensible way forward in my view. No one should be able to let them off in gardens or anywhere like that, it’s crazy. I am surprised some of you have said it hasn’t been as bad this year. I live near DKH Saino and it’s been absolutely terrible my way for days. This petition gained about 20,000 just in the last day or so so clearly the appetite is there! https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/732559
    • I'd have thought they could use some of  their income from hiring out a large part of Brockwell Park in the summer (therefore, as I understand it, preventing local residents from using much of it) to put on a firework display there  in the autumn which might somewhat make up to those residents for the previous loss of use of the park. And also generate goodwill.
    • Clicking on your name, I see you've made seven posts on here since you joined  around four years ago, and they've all been about local libraries. And none of the posts are  very pleasant. Care to share with the rest of us where  your particular interest in libraries comes from? Do you work in one of them?
