Are you chic?

[Voley]

Yes. You'll all be aping my 18th-Century-village-idiot-discovers-Ketamine look in a years time. You mark my words.

 

[Ms T]

I think I might be, yes. I do like jeans with stretch though, being an hour-glass shape. I do also have quite a lot of vintage stuff, and some very high-fashion clothes. Like pleather shorts! Which if I'm not mistaken Zoe Ball was wearing tonight on It Takes Two!

I'm going for 'Garden gnome steals a canoe. On acid.'

 

[Cloo]

Ms T you are one urb I would definitely file under chic, in a vintage sort of way.

 

[moomoo]

In my dreams.

 

[ViolentPanda]

I am what is known as "tragically unchic" and "defiantly non-hip".

 

[discokermit]

the navy cashmere jumper is a good call but what you really need is a cashmere/silk blend navy jumper.

I really do. I would also say she is utterly wrong about the denim shirt. Silk shirts for me.

 

[wtfftw]

It's a bit too slow* fashion all this denim shirts and navy. I thought chic was more classic.

But then. What would I know?


*have I made that term up? Like not seasonal catwalk stuff but fashion editor stuff.

 

[Stanley Edwards]

I am uber chic. It has taken me years to perfect.

you stink like a farmyard animal and your clothes are dirty. hippy.

who the fuck wears denim shirts?

i got my silk/casmere jumper in a factory outlet shop in lido de jesolo, near venice, if that's any help.

 

[stuff_it]

Sometimes if I try really hard I almost look like I didn't get dressed in the dark in TK Maxx during a remake of Dawn of the Dead.

Chic lumberjacks? I shall pack immediately.

Well, admittedly I am not into heroin yet, but on a purely aesthetic level (smell doesn't count) I am uber chic with added beer belly. None of the super models before me considered the beer belly look. None of them. It is my own uber chic thing!

French 'chic' prefers navy to black, combined with pale legs, Chanel suits (beautifully constructed but oh so boring) and red lipstick. I'm not convinced that it's something all Frenchwomen aspire to, let alone achieve, IMHO it's akin to the dress code of BCBG parisiennes (aka French Sloanes).

 

[killer b]

who the fuck wears denim shirts?

i do.

 

[susie12]

I knew it wasn't for me when she mentioned dry cleaning your jeans. Another planet.

 

[discokermit]

i do.

i was gonna say 'apart from b' .

 

[ViolentPanda]

i do.

With your red strides?

 

[Greebo]

i do.

You don't happen to wear ballerina flats, do you?

 

[Quartz]

I'm not chic; I'm square.

 

[el-ahrairah]

i was impressed to discover that yes, i am chic. i have a navy jumper, at least. i found it in the street, but it's a jumper, it's navy, and therefore i must be at least a sixth chic.

 

[Greebo]

I'm not chic; I'm square.

 

[Cribynkle]

I don't look chic, I look like a nail biting scruff. I'm with her on the navy, little jackets and ballet flats though

In purple that sounds great Navy is bleh or preppy!

I don't wear much navy myself but it is chic, partly I think because it's quite safe. Purple looks very dated when it's not current.

You've met me, more than once. I don't understand your 2nd sentence. How can a colour look dated? A colour just is. You must have realised by now fashion and I are not close buddies

I just mean that purple comes and goes in fashion. Navy is always there or thereabouts in classic labels and so is more chic.
Anyway, I'm doing mainly green, orange and dirty colours this winter so what do I know

Even without being a boon companion of fashion you must have noticed that some years there are more clothes available in one colour than another. If none of the 'in' colours for that season make you look good, tough.
