Black & White Stripey Tops - irrational dislike

[kalidarkone]

My Merican man wears nowt but checked shirts or those kinda short sleeved airtex ones with collars? You’d hate his dress sense. I say dress sense in the loosest sense. Mind you I can’t talk, I have fuck all style, I model myself largely on All Saints. I greatly admire people with a sense of style and individuality.

I love that you style yourself on All Saints!

 

[kalidarkone]

not that all saints

Oh I really thought you meant the group All Saints. I'm not gonna lie im kinda of disappointed

 

[Edie]

Aww I love you, if it’s any consolation the looks have really quite a lot in common

Do you have a theory about vertical stripes then? Persuade me.

a tenner and I thought of you and this thread.

I did actually consider it but wasn't sure on sizing...

I went to a brilliant exhibition about this once can’t remember where it was, on the history of nautical influence on fashion, had a section on tattoos and a load of chronologically ordered stripey tops. Wonderful old black and white pictures of sailors that make you wish you were at sea in the 1920s playing an accordion.

XL. Baggy seems to be still popular round here.

I have a navy and white one in the proper sailing material that I like. Also when I went to check I still had it I found about 5 other striped tops of different colours. They're just a bit more interesting than plain tops. Although my body shape probably means that I shouldn't wear horizontal stripes I do love them.

Do you use colour catchers?

 

[oryx]

Do you use colour catchers?

No, but I am quite anal about washing light and dark colours separately, on the grounds that if the colours from the dark stripes don't run into the white stripes, they're safe with lights.

Yeah, I was thinking Edie was all baggy combat pants and marrying Liam Gallagher

Breton tops are less ubiquitous in menswear, I think. In womenswear, the navy Breton - as either a lightweight jumper or long sleeve T shirt - is almost part of the middle class mum uniform. It’s all very Boden/Joules. It’s undeniably a classic, and although I am dispositionally ill-disposed to navy blue, I do understand the appeal. I like them better on men because they’re more unusual.

Yeah I just popped onto this thread to say Boden.

And that Amber Butchart did an interesting series on Instagram during lockdown, including one which may make ska feel a bit queasy:
