Fashion is weird

Innit. Obviously that's a model made up by a stylist - so magazine type fashion which always looks daft to most people. I can't see it has much to do with this thread tbh.

I'm old enough to remember when long hair and earrings were unacceptable to our parents generation.

You lot are turning into your parents.

You are just jealous you can't look cool in turquoise trousers and a fulsome beard.

Leave young people alone.

 

[salem]

awesome beard, bro.

We're looking at him the way as our parents/grandparents looked at punks with mohawks.

I'm not.

Seems a bit like male hipsters get a harder time because they're men. The patriarchy indulges young women as they experiment with their image, but for men there must be a "reason" otherwise they're nobbers.

There's also the factor that "hipsters" may be from male dominated industries, so the ratio of male to female hipsters is higher.

The list of who needs to 'get out of Brixton' is actually as follows-

-Anyone younger than 'me'
-Anyone who dresses differently to 'me'
-Anyone who doesn't like the music 'I' like
-Anyone who came to live in Brixton for any reason that isn't the reason 'I' came to live in Brixton
-Anyone who doesn't understand

It's like some kind of mid-life crisis where people have suddenly realised people younger than them have different interests, music and fashion. It's fear of the unknown.

Sometimes a nobber is just a nob.

sure is. appreciate i am getting old but definitely found the pipe an odd touch.

i am a confirmed beard wearer so its not the beard thing i find odd.

My co-worker has the complete coloured trouser set, including sky blue. His name's not rupert, but it's of that ilk. He goes sailing a lot.
These are the particular facts. Any generalisations you may wish to make are your own

I work with someone who also has lots of coloured trousers. They are quite tight, with turn-ups. He wears slip on shoes and no socks and big rimmed geek glasses. He isn't called Rupert or anything like that, never goes sailing. He is in no way posh. He is very sound.

He is also very young.

We had the son of famous wealthy business-owner in here the other day on work experience (his dad is one of our clients). Now that's posh. Cravat, wavy haircut, navy blazer, says "yah" not "yeah" and is utterly and completely unaware and unconcerned with those beneath him.

anyone with a tache and beard as well (who is under 50)

 

[BigMoaner]

it's the tache, people, the fucking great tache that sticks out at the corners.

Bastard!

I worked with a few people like that when I worked in The City.

 

[Nanker Phelge]

Why would you be aware unless they were uncomfortable to walk over....

 

[TruXta]

I don't mind beards, or taches, or even cravats on certain people, but I do not like those tight coloured trousers.

 

[Nanker Phelge]

I think I'm gonna spend the afternoon in the posh burger place sneering at the champagne drinkers looking out at the poor people looking in at us all.

Neither do I. I just don't wear them. Some people (I'm not saying you) seem to have some kind of life mission to pick fault with and sneer at anyone outside of their own little bubble (no pun intended).

Life is like a bar of Aero

But the nineties were where we still want to be, remember!

No, I mean tight trousers with loud colours.

Fuck that, I'll sneer as much as I want to.

 

[Nanker Phelge]

I'm taking me posh camera instead. Take some pics to aid and abet my campaign against the incoming threat!

I might even wear a cheese slice.

Perhaps you'll stop when you grow up?

Speak for yourself, Tonto.
