Fashion???

My better half brought to my attention a bunch of photos of celebrities??? at different functions.
She tended to agree with me that most of the dresses were not very appropriate / flattering or the correct colour for these people.
For instance a number of specimens were wearing mini skirts when their legs should have been hidden by long skirts ( chicken legs or even pencil legs). and those bubble hems are just ridiculous.
Anyone else agree that women should wear long skirts unless they have a very fine pair of pins.
Fashion just seems to be getting a lot of money for rubbish!

I would have the Gym to myself if I did that!

Can I borrow your <le sigh> Nonu? I have got good and long legs so can get away with shorts and cropped trousers. Sadly top half lets me down horribly as well as the psoriasis patches on my legs which sort of spoils the leg effect. <le grande sigh>

At least it is recommended that sun is good for psoriasis so only problem is getting shorts to fit. I now return your special 'emoticon' and promise not to filch it again grin

I may be old fashioned, but it find it very inappropriate for men to turn up as claimants to a tribunal dressed in baggy shorts and singlets with a baseball cap which they keep on throughout the hearing. All the time chewing gum.

<LE SIGH>

Thank you , it is back safe and sound !

Borrow any time you want , no need to ask !

grin

Phew, that's a relief Nonu

Feeling that does not make you Old Fashioned Galen. I would want to knock the baseball cap off and demand they spat out the gum smile at least.

I am happy to say it: in my day, we'd have been told to remove the baseball cap! I remember when I was about 15 and had left school and I was looking for something to do and went off to see the careers advisor; I was told to sit up and stop slouching lol

You are not old-fashioned, Galen. Some people turn up for job interviews dressed inappropriately like that and wonder why they can't get a job!

i hate the way men and boys wear those stupid jeans that hang below their backsides , and girls that think short skirts no knickers is a pleasant way to dress , we have seen it in our town and its appalling one girl visibly bent over in a shop in front of us and well put me of lunch , even my husband was shocked also our teenage daughter, and the girl did not seem to care, i told my teenager thats how not to dress , better to cover and leave to a young mans imagination

cazz19, do they really think we want to look at their underpants or worse, their builder's bum? And as for the girls, I haven't seen any but am appalled at what you said!

I was amused a couple of years ago when I picked up DD2 late one cold winter's night; as we drove home through the town centre she kept exclaiming 'Just look at those girls, they're hardly wearing anything, those skirts are so short there's no point in wearing one; look at her, it's all hanging out of her top' etc etc. This from the wise perspective of her 28 years!

At one time they might have been arrested for indecency but anything goes these days I suppose.
