Fashion weaknesses

[????]

....prompted by Annasfields suits and trainers thread but taking a more generalist angle- What is your Fashion weakness?...mine is Fred Perry.....anything with those laurels and I almost have to buy it....been going on for years...

[Mikecg]

Is'nt Fred Perry stuff a part of the gay uniform? you know Fred Perry T shirt rolled up jeans a DR Martin shoes and a hair cut without side burns.

[????]

i dunno Mike but a lot of gay guys seem to go for a retro-skinhead look which is near to your description

[Mikecg]

I'm not homophobic Quids, My step brother is gay and mad as a box of frogs but I love him dearly.

[RosieH]

I like a good titfer - in fact headgear of all descriptions is to me as a shiny thing to a magpie

More hats please

[????]

Hats are good

I want trilby's to come back in fashion, I always saw myself as a 1930's gangster.

I'm not sure I do "fashion" as such, but my favourite clothing weaknesses would have to be shoes from Hobbs. I can still recall being a broke student living in Bath, looking longingly in the window of the local branch, promising myself I would shop there when I had enough money, before stomping off in my 8 hole Doc Martins (lasted forever but not exactly pretty).

These days I get most of my work suits there too - they do some nice feminine styles - smart but not too masculine looking and shaped for women that have curves.

I think of Fred Perry being more of a mod look than a gay look - fans of Paul Weller etc often seem to go for Fred Perry.

High waisted, herringbone Harris tweed trousers.

You will be mine. Oh yes.

...and cashmere jumpers. Lots of cashmere jumpers.

Fetish? Indeed. Verrrrry strokeable (although obviously only with permission)

Listen my Lass (adopts stern demeanour) there's been a bit toooo much "rollin' eyes" "shrugging" and "sighing" in these 'ere parts and It brings me no pleasure in saying that YOU are the chief culprit (fidgets, nervously, while awaiting a riposte from KK)..

[KalamityKel]

Think yourself lucky u aint sitting on my side of the screen witnessing my actual expressions! ;-)

[Annasfield]

Yes, but not too far. They've a platform in the sole, so not as high as they look.

[KalamityKel]

They do look quite interesting (not much of a shoe person so I'm trying!) ::))

I like Oliver Sweeneys shoes - chestnut zip up boots are great.

Jeans and shorts for summer are always tough to buy. I get one pair I like and then wear them solidly until they die.

Paul Smith luxury suits are also a good cut for the slimmer British gentleman.

Don't wear trainers except down the gym but do have lots of canvas plimsole things - all in white.

Sunglasses (I think it has something to do with growing up in a place where you need them on a daily basis). I have way too many pairs of sunglasses. Arnettes especially, I have 4 pairs of them alone. My wife says they all look the same but I know the difference.
