katie1997 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Too many to mention for me personally and I humbly apologise to anyone I offended on the other fashion thread. You're all fabulous, string vests and city living wellie-wearing afficionados alike.

Moos Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Huguenot, are you Toyah or Jim? Am confused.Mine is probably a white-collared Black Watch tartan dress. Social death.

Huguenot Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Ah, No. My own disaster was more of a Nik Kershaw courdroys-tucked-into-pixie-boots-and-a-grey-felt trilby genre.I'm pleased to discover that trilbys appear to be 'in' again, but I've noted that none of them look as cool as I did.

Made of the kind of material that - if you dropped a fag on it - melted rather than scorched. Worn with platform shoes, butterfly-collar shirt and checked 'sports' jacket (both in variations of brown) and hands bedecked with two or three stainless steel rings that you lied to girls about and said you'd made them in metalwork class.
