Black & White Stripey Tops - irrational dislike

[hitmouse]

But don't worry, honey don't worry
This is just a fairytale
Happening in a nice stripy top

So when is the urban meet where we can all turn up wearing stripey tops to vex ska invita?

I don't have any such tops, but happy to buy one for the occasion.

These two look like they've just heard some stripy-top-hating nutter's about to visit so they've had to cover up by quickly pulling a jacket on.

note they are ordered by the military to wear those tops

thats actually one of the erased resolutions from the so-called '15 -point manifesto':

(or, in russian:
19 августа морские волки отмечают день рождения русской тельняшки. В этот день 1874 года полосатая фуфайка высоким)

J. Crew Created National Stripes Day To Remind You To Get Your Horizontal (& Vertical) On

It seems like creating a holiday is a go-to marketing technique these days, but that doesn't make celebrating a made-up holiday any less fun. At least that's the case with National Stripes Day, which J. Crew created this year to celebrate everyone's…

Do you also dislike any other items of clothing that are also stripey or is it just tops?

That reminds me of one of those images where you're supposed to see something else if you stare at it long enough.

Have we had Beetlejuice yet?



I went to a fancy dress party once wearing a home-made version of this suit. Dark suit with strips of white gaffa tape stuck on to make the stripe effect. Took me ages to do and was really uncomfortable as I kept sticking to myself.

I did win "best dressed Beetlejuice" on the night, though - there were 4 others in the same outfit

Also, today I'm wearing a navy/white horizontal striped t-shirt. Sorry, Ska.

Liked for your attire today, not the picture of the hideous vertically-striped suit.

I have never seen one of my neighbours wear anything else...in 21 years of living in the same street. Striped tops and black jeans. And only in red. white or black.
