THE Fashion Thread

Ladies (and gentlemen if you are interested in fashion),

This is THE fashion thread, where you can talk about trends, whats hot, whats not etc!!

Firstly, ive spent the last three hours walking around marion sussing out whats 'in' and obviously vintage is being taken to the extreme this season. What i am a little confused about however is the reduced number of high boots which have been replaced by 100's of different styles of ankle cut offs, which are cool but paired with skinny legs jeans?? i am confused.

Are the ankle cut offs to wear with winter dresses or can they be paired with skinny leg jeans and are they this seasons replacement for the under the knee high boots with jeans? Or is it too early in the season for the knee highs??

I was just thinking the other day how we need a clothes thread.

Ooow ive got a hot tip too, i am becoming the Clinique sample queen 

if you want quality skin products and you are looking for something in particular but your not quite sure you want to spend the $100 you may need on a the right face product?

If you go into clinque and say you are looking for something say to mimimise poors but you want to try it out first, or if you have a skin consultation they will load you up with samples to try. I have a clinque bag of samples 

Although i got sucked in this weekend and spent $150 on products *shakes head*

fashion is transient, but style lasts forever.. dont go by the season's fashions!!! waste of time n money, dont be a sucker for what's cool at sportsgirl.

i say that now, cause i will never ever ever look good in whatever is the current fashion. i will always have to do my own thing!

“Style is knowing who you are, what you want to say, and not giving a damn.”
 Gore Vidal (American novelist and essayist b.1925)   
 
“Create your own visual style... let it be unique for yourself and yet identifiable for others.”
 Orson oWelles
   
“Fashions fade, style is eternal.”
 Yves Saint Laurent   
 
“Style is the mind skating circles around itself as it moves forward”
Robert Frost quotes (American poet, 1874-1963)   
 
“I discovered that what's really important for a creator isn't what we vaguely define as inspiration or even what it is we want to say, recall, regret, or rebel against. No, what's important is the way we say it. Art is all about craftsmanship. Others can interpret craftsmanship as style if they wish. Style is what unites memory or recollection, ideology, sentiment, nostalgia, presentiment, to the way we express all that. It's not what we say but how we say it that matters.”
Federico Fellini
               
“Style is a magic wand, and turns everything to gold that it touches”
 Logan Pearsall Smith (American Writer, 1865-1946)
   
“"Style" is an expression of individualism mixed with charisma. Fashion is something that comes after style.”
John Fairchild

"Style is the perfection of a point of view”
 Richard Eberhart

“Style is a simple way of saying complicated things”
 Jean Cocteau quotes

“Looking good and dressing well is a necessity. Having a purpose in life is not.”
Oscar Wilde

Trackies are always in.
Hoodies are always in.
Phat caps tipped to the side are also in.

You won't see this shit on the catwalks. It's that exclusive.

what about rat tails???

Agreed but you can only work with what is sold in stores and then add your own flavour!!

i disagree, i think u can take simple pieces and make a whole new fashion/style up urself.

n remember ladies, colour is SO important!

Bringing it back. 

I reckon you can wear the ankle boots with jeans Bec

I love love LOVE clothes and fashion 

I put an awesome leather bomber jacket on layby today woo woo

Cool, ive picked out some already 

I cant do the leather jackets :shakeshead:

Cool, ive picked out some already  :lol:

I cant do the leather jackets :shakeshead:

I'll check out the boots next Saturday baby - looks like it's shaping up to be a busy busy day!

And you could pull off the leather jacket - just has to be the right one

i dont really care for 'trends'. i wear what i think looks good on me, whats comfortable and what i like. dont really care who else likes it.

if i had more money i may buy into the trends but seriously who can afford to keep up with them?

i was reading a magazine at the hair dressers yesterday and it would seem that jodpers are back in. i mean, come on..... 

Throwback NBA jerseys and satin boxer shorts


*vogues*

i believe that outfit isn't complete without a hint of nutsack lurking from left to right leg of the boxers

Amen!

"Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months."
Oscar Wilde

What looks good on you, feels comfortable and you like is still fashion, and it's all influenced by designers who create styles and market their clothes to different groups of people

Seriously "i dont follow trends" is so cliche'

yes we are all individual, we wear whats comfortable

Im suggesting discussing fashion as a concept, sharing ideas of what you like/ dont like, what influences what you wear.

Dare to embrace your girlyness and have fun.

shit!!

i try to stay ahead of the trends, pioneering and what not.

we'll be in vogue soon

 

 
i like white - i'm a fashion nazi.

Anna your quotes and the one from Pseudo Coup are nothing special. The best advice comes from Mr T.

"Hey, Everybody's gotta wear clothes, and if you don't you'll get arrested. But that don't mean you gotta let some fashion designer in New York or Paris tell you what to wear. Clothes express your personality, so express yourself and not someone else. Would Calvin Klein, Bill Blass, or Gloria Vanderbilt wear clothes with your name on it? Nooo, of course not! So you table the label, and wear your own name!"

hha thanks oli

dont worry bec, i love watching fashion tv with the best of em (mostly for the clothes...mostly ) but seriously, some of the SHIT coming BACK into fashion sucks! jodphurs, seriously WTF!!!! haha.

I hear they go well with boots and leather jackets with a swastika wrapped around the upper arm on a red band.


PS. I agree, wtf?

I wanna get some pin stripe grey business pants
that are designed to wear with braces not a belt
and some braces

hopefully not too 'harry highpant'

NB: I'm not a homo


also thin black tie FTW

Going to melbourne sometime soon??? Can get some wikkid suits at Anton's @ Melbourne Central. They make women's suits too, tailored too. I have pants AND a fishtail skirt, and a wikkid magenta-pink shirt with bettie page buttons

cool

Anton's

sounds so Euro
 

What is a jodphurs?

I saw some Stirrup (SP?) pants the other day, you have got to be kidding 

What is a jodphurs?

I saw some Stirrup (SP?) pants the other day, you have got to be kidding  :lol:

Stirrup pants 

for work

yeah they are the same thing.

like what horse riders wear.
terrible

By ankle cut offs I'm guessing you mean something like these yeah?



That pic is from http://www.loverthelabel.com/# (latest collection) maybe have a look for ideas of what you can pair them with (they feature a lot) - seems to be more like above the knee dresses/skirts/shorts than skinny pants to me. Personally I'm not gonna go for that look don't like em and the last pair of ankle boots I bought (last time they were in) I barely got any wear outa them.

I actually shuddered then thinking of stirrup pants 


I bought a new hoodie the other day...you're never too old or too young for a good hoodie 

hmm thanks Nes, yeah that lower cut boot is definatley a leggings and winter dress wear.

Ive got some ideas tho 

I think the jeans can be worn with the lower cut boot if i can find the right style.

And Rookie, i like those shoes

Words of a genius.

I would be happy in a dress and thongs all year round and miss winter all together but there is some pretty nice stuff coming out. I walked around 'Forever New' the other day drooling

Lauren bought one of the best hoodies of seen the other day. It was out the front of a store, i went to see if they had my size, Nope. They did have hers though. Very fresh

Did anyone see that doco on ABC last night about Wool?
Was heaps blazed, so cant remember anything about it.
It was good tho.
This one company in italy has its own sheep which they only feed corn to get their coats all shiney, and they make them wear coats to keep the wool in good nick. Thats all I remember.

wool makes the best fabric ever. apparently its super cool to wear as a suit in summer, and very warm in winter. i need to buy more nice wool things, like suits...

Sportswool FTW!!!

Check this shit out. Going back a few years. I thought that this would look quite fashionable at the time (I'm the dude in the middle). Someone just posted this up on Facebook and reminded me why I gave up trying to look 'cool' ages ago. Sticking to comfortable these days. Usually looks a hundred times better than snazzy anyways!



Come on peeps, have a laugh! 

ahahaha, you look all teeny tiny!

ooh he IS all teeny tiny! cute!!!

i think u;d look great in pimping suits. that sweater combo would've worked if you had of tucked the shirt in

It does look fashionable.... I want that vest 

I love that type of pattern on clothes... preppy is hotness 

no way, he is still high towering over that chick, and on par with a guy atleast 10 years older than him 

 

true, but he's not towering like is now!!

Oooh yeah, I'm with you death girl. I love argyle!

yeah, im lost for words on those breakfast pants Kurko! 

yeah, im lost for words on those breakfast pants Kurko!  :lol: :E

def. gotta tuck that shit in

Currently have a combo like this on layby @ youthworks, whiteshirt/brown stripe shirt & dark grey sweater, grey trousers & some pimpin Ferracini's 

Ah, to have a bit of class. It has been imprinted into my brain not to tuck anything anywhere. Unfortunately it makes me look like I'm wearing a mini-skirt sometimes! Lesson learnt, thanks for helping a motherfucka out.

youthworks still exists?

They only stock mens clothing now! 

lame.

i guess globalize is pretty much the same. they are both overpriced anyway. do stock some cool stuff though (globalize).

 

Spot on.

The next Rob Frost in the making right there.

ur both hatin cos u couldn't pull off a sweater on account of ur um.. *cough* bellies

the youthworks chick did say they had a moo-moo section tho
 

 

my body could be waging an inner war between anorexia and bulimia and i still wouldn't wear a fkn sweater

 

Anyone know where i can get one of those "I PLAY DRUM AND BASS" Tshirts?  
The ones from inbound are to small, i like teh bagy tshirts

likewise my body could have its own orbit & i wouldn't don a visor that shaded the entire southern hemisphere - each to their own

Sweater. Visor. It's all about combining the two imo. McPimp Daddy Rothschild shall be thine name.

whoa whoa whoa. I cant help im big boned, festively plump, have a water retaining disease plus ate ALL the pies


come on mate, I've got feelings ya know

 

hahahahaha ahhhhhhh

I'd say either Ebay or Maybe Cafepress.

surely inbound can order some in for you?

if not, try here

 

and at Dan, jesus, you guys are quite the pair!

I like sweaters. What type are we talking here anyway?

Check out these pants guys:

http://www.bonobospants.com/

Wish the had a shop here... I'd love a pair but I always want to try pants on first.

But bonobos are those chimps who are constantly mating 

That sounds like an incentive to wear them as well!

 

Seriously though, they look cool

yeah i agree! simon was after some nice pants, will get him to checkem out long as u get measured up right, they will look good

a grey fitting one that comes down to the waist, around the belt line, sleeveless, 3 or 4 buttons @ the top, to wear under a shirt - good for winter

I'm gonna check this shit out on Monday.. Still a bit unsure til I see it on Daniel

by no means am i a fashion guru, but isn't that a vest

yes yes it's a vest it's a vest.... but vests are better than sweaters 

my god i just realised i am schooling the resident metro on fashion

**falls into shame spiral**

well, i'm unsure on the title - vest/sweater - same shit, different bucket. i called it a vest, this thread used sweater cos of Keyser's photo..... so i dunno, vest sweater - its pimp.

ecko releasing shoes now wanted these but not in my size

Jeans West is my favourite shop by far.

Where's a Jeans West in the city?

Rundle mall I believe Oli.

I don't have a favourite clothing store, but I love the hippie/bohemian look at the moment

flat sandals, flowy dresses, head scarves, pretty flower prints, faded denim and tan colour accessories

I also love all the knitted vests that are in lots of stores.. Makes Winter look almost bareable :

Purchased some Betina Liano jeans while I was away and they are by far the comfiest jeans I've ever owned

aaah the old cottage garden look - hot.

lol

Not cottage garden.

Sounds more gypsy prostitute to me.

i just got an image of a granny out pottering in her garden with the "cottage garden" look

 

I haven't, but they are listed as one of the only official stockists of L R G clothing, and widely known, so they're most likely legit.

Been hoodie hunting the past few days... reckon I've found a winner


But these ones are pretty tempting but a little more pricey

Missed out on the Kangol jacket, but this got delivered yesterday

http://www.mooseshirts.com/product.php?productid=2319&cat=0&page=1

Now just waiting for my new hoodie to rock up 

Take note, casual clothing wearers! *looks at Cleasc* New trends are showing hoodies and tshirts are out, and vests ties and the like are in! YAY! More guys dressing like Pharrell Williams the BETTER!

Hungary Fashion Police Tie Tax

Authorities in Hungary announced this week that they’re to impose a sales tax on ties, in response to a renaissance in tie sales in the Eastern European country.

“Good design is after all a sign of culture,” Hungarian Government minister Maria Schneider explained, “So it is right that the culture ministry should benefit from it.” (Metro)

The Hungarian authorities’ move came as Florida newspaper the Orlando Sentinel raved about the return of neckwear amongst American youth this week, suggesting baseball caps and T shirts could finally be on the way out.

“Dress like Dad in golf shirt and khakis? Not likely, if you're a trendy young guy (TYG),” the Sentinel declared, “But borrow a few items from Granddad's closet -- an ascot (cravat), vest or pocket square? Now you're talking.”

“This spring, TYGs are swapping their T-shirts, sweats and baseball caps for dress shirts, blazers and derbys,” the paper declared. “They also are discovering ties -- preferably narrow and patterned with stripes, plaids or neat geometrics. They may even add a tie bar, scrounged from Granddad's dresser drawer or the local vintage shop.”

The paper recommended David Beckham as a ‘trendsetter’ to copy, as did Scottish newspaper The Scotsman who this week singled out the almost-past-his-sell-by date soccer player’s decision to grow a beard as an indicator that facial fur is back.

(the tie tax is hilarious tho!)

"I think beards look great on men and they're definitely fashionable," Grazia fashion editor Melanie Rickey told the Scottish tabloid, “I spoke to (designer] Marc Jacobs at the weekend and he told me he's growing a beard, so that's evidence straight from the horse's mouth that they're a definite trend,” she suggested.

I actually don't believe in trends. And no, I don't mean I don't agree with said trends. I just don't think they exist. Prove me wrong.

pffft!! I used to do that in the mid nineties. talk about style ahead of its' time.

I used to wear loads of Calvin Klein, D&G and Kangol 10 years ago. Grown out of that a bit now..

Really love Fly's new summer collection and im not saying that just because im friends 

u'd look totally hot if u wore a blinging pants suit with tie and cap.

I believe in trends now.

that's my boy!!!

yeah dude, your frame is so in right now

get some tubes, a vintage shirt and some cons, throw a crappy old tie on nice and loose and you'll have pussy flying at you even more!! (yes it CAN happen)

  My frame! Ha ha! As for pussy flying at me even more, if you build it, they will come.

u looked like u were drowning in pussy that other friday nite at the worldsend! respekt!

For a fashion thread, all I see is people talking about hoodies.

Hoodies are ok if you're 16 and still a virgin

Didn't you buy a hoodie in Lorne?

HA 16 YEAR OLD VIRGIN!

Indeed I did. Rumbled!

In my defense, when I wear it I don't look like I want to shank you for your wallet, then go spend the money on bus fare and ice.

I actively dislike the new trend of high waisted jeans. It makes buying jeans that don't make you look like a 70's thowback very hard.

Coats, I love coats. Just picked up a new satin red trenchcoat from Ruby Red, which closed down a week later! Eeep! I like how more coats are coming out this winter, rather than cardigans.

Hoodies will always be in IMO!

i've told you before and i will tell you again...jeanswest ftw!!!

and yay for coats that being said, i am hardly ever cold enough in adelaide to wear a  wool coat

I hate jeanswest, their jeans seem to be made really crappily whenever I've gone in there.

I'm the same with coats, love them, buy them, but am never anywhere cold enough to wear them 

Just dont wear anything underneath

easy access for flashing 

The spoylt line of jeans are really good, i have two pairs that have lasted really well. dunno bout their usual range, but the stuff on the racks out the front (jeans and pants) are nice

http://www.bellaboobabe.com/story/020408/128/style-bytes-top-5-jeans
http://www.jeanswest.com.au/index.php?page=jeans&brand=1

I am so damn picky with jeans, but there's nothing interesting in this town.

Last pair I bought in ADL was from Atelier and they closed down years ago, after that I got a pair from Atelier in Perth. Been lookin ever since for a decent pair but gave up after a few years.

Bought a cheap arse pair on special from Myer. Besides that I been buying pants of varying sorts. What ya gunna do, eh?

I'm heaps picky with jeans too it's so hard to find ones that are just right!

Anna, I bought two pairs from Just Jeans a few days ago as my other jeans are covered in paint and have holes in them. (Can you tell I don't shop much.)
It was funny, I tried on three pairs of the same size, same cut jeans. Two didn't fit in different ways and then one did. I asked the shop girl about it and she said that when the machine cuts them, it often goes a bit off kilter, making different cuts for the same size and style!
Eventually found some nice dark navy flared jeans and some slightly lighter bootcuts. Neither with high waist! 

yay good one i was just offering it as a suggestion

I love my hoodies. When its 5am, your completely trashed, you stick it up and hide. Its no different to having a hood on a coat!

You an umbrella man then?

how could an umbrella be comfortable at 5am?

Ha ha. Fuck, if only I could remember it! 

My style is 'classic contemporary'.

So, actually, yes. I am an umbrella man.

aka "Dressed by my Mum"

actually i like how rob dresses, besides the polo shirts!

me too funnily enough

Mum hasn't dressed me for years.

My Dad did buy Steve and I underwear briefs about 2 months ago though. That was strange in the extreme.

just bout this superdry jacket from this little store in glenelg called "Zero" they stock some really unique stuff - asian influence, especially in the sizing, this jacket is dope tho, puffy Ski styles, but fitted trunk section with detachable hood. and so warm its not funny. Quite happy

bought

 
*has flashbacks of alan partridge's "sports casual"*

[video: www.youtube.com]

I wish I had seen more of that show when it was on Fox. Steve Coogan is a funny man.

alan partridge - the 1990s version of david brent


a mate of mine was visiting me when i was living there and saw one episode and subsequently went and bought every single alan partridge episode on VHS.
i really need to borrow them from him

You should be able to torrent them down too, my mate's got a couple of seasons here, funny stuff!

lol - its not incorrect, i just shortened it, we are on "teh interwebs" after all, time saving grammar ftw! thanks for caring tho

debating on the usefulness of a scarf for winter, i have never owned one, and tried one on... just didn't feel right, felt choked. Any AM dudes own a scarf?

*awaits Quaz' "fag" call*

I remember Morgs was quite the scarf fan...haven't seen him on here in awhile but...

Does that tell you anything?!?!?!

I own a scarf, but only cos it is fucking cold over here!

I wear it for its functionality, not to accessorise.

I love a good scarf!!

I have a scarf. I don't think I've ever worn one here in Australia though. I've only worn mine in Europe...

That said, I'm going to Tassie soon (in winter, how stupid of me) and I'm pretty sure it'll be cold enough to wear it there.

The boys over here wear them...but it is cold. I don't blame them. I think they look fine on boys though.

Talk to me about skinny ties. Anyone sporting a skinny with the shirt/jeans combo?

I am resisting the temptation, as I think it's only a passing fad, but I do like the look of some of them.

Hmmm

picked up a skinny leather black one at an oppy the other day, i don't run ties that often but should the need arise i will run it, not with jeans though more of a slacks get up.

I am not wearing a leather tie. Ever.

fish tie then?

I want a tie with LEDs on it like the one Kraftwerk have used in some live performances.

yeah i got one - standard business styles - black n grey diagonal stripe, looks good - altho it WAS made for me after all 

I was waiting for someone to post a picture of a keyboard tie.

And I knew it would be Khemopants

it could actually be vinyl 

My dad is a musician and bought a keyboard tie for $5.... then he sold it to some drunk guy at a function for $70!

First of this month was a sad day for fashion...

Yves Saint Laurent, Fashion Icon, Dies at 71

Me too!

Wanna meet for lunch and compare?

no.... I don't hang around with cardy wearing dandy boys 

It's not even cold!!!

I went for a wander before, it might be windy but its soo not cold.

I'm tshirting it.

Aw


You have a lot more...insulation...than I have.

For the aspiring Aussie gangster: Globe Chopper T-Shirt

I am now the proud new owner of these bad boys:

Brooksfield Black Aviator Bomber Jacket -

http://www.brooksfield.com.au/#/collection/

Jack London Double-Breasted Wool Pea Coat -



Like the above, but in black.

nice piece that, chicks would dig it.

It's fucking warm! I'll use the pea coat for more professional or formal occasions in the winter weather.

Its a bit faggy I reckon. That jacket would look better on a girl!

Sigh

Full size peacoats I can understand - it's timeless winter garb. But a trim little mini coat like that? Definitely ladies wear.

Well I better return my coat and go to Globe and buy a DC hoodie and Ezekiel jeans and Ed Hardy trucker cap because, you know, I wouldn't want to be mistaken for a fag.

Best to just dress like everyone else, in case people think I may be an individual with my own sense of style and what looks good.

Thanks for showing me the light guys

This.

Fixed.

you really need a new response for when someone doesn't like something you wear.

*swoons at the thought* :P

can i borrow your jacket for tonight?

 

Rob, its a nice jacket and all but it appears to be cut for a woman. It even comes in at the waist.

It is the type of jacket I would buy for myself.

At least you didnt buy it in the soft brown and you went for black .... the girlie pockets at the front wont stand out as much. I cant say that for the collar however.

I dunno, guys, it's got that mod look about it which is cool. But then again, the model is also rocking the mod glasses and haircut... and he could probably wear anything and look good. Might not be the same for your average white guy.

I was thinkin it was more of a tranny type look

The model makes it look extra feminine, but I can imagine a black version of that jacket looking ok on some guys. But a longer length would make it look better.

It might have already been posted in this thread but I just can't get over these pants. Even though they are in lots of shops at the moment, I can't believe that anyone is actually buying them!

image not archived: tl6095e8024g-1_pimg1.jpg

Ok, I did some more searching and I think this picutre is a much better representation of the pea coat I bought:



Mine is Jack London (buying Australian!), not Kenneth Cole though.

I like it and that's the most important thing

I want a pair of genie pants!


That's much better.

i'd wear those genie pants around the house, but wouldn't dare go further than my letterbox in them!!

and rob, i like the jacket, and good on you i say for daring to wear something a bit different to the 'norm'..

Are they designed to be worn with boots or uggboots?


THANKS ALEXY!

Perhaps I will wear it when we go on our date to NOWHERE EVER!

I agree, not my thing mate, not at all, but good on you for thinking outside the square.

The black one posted recently is much better than the earlier brown I'll agree with that!

I acknowledge the posting of the brown coat was a mistake.

got this today...





looks like a hoody but its a ski jacket - waterproof with a fleece lining...

(the thumb bits in the pic are optional)

you can keep your ed hardy trucker cap tho

Disclaimer: Suits gingas only.

Cool hoody, however you have kind of proved my earlier point, Mike

He's not thinking outside the square - he's thinking inside the box!

it's quite easy really

yep thats much better than the brown one

Yes Kukro, we get it already - you think I'm a dirt bag.

Can you turn the page now?

Thats a much better jacket! looks nice

I hadn't worn mine in ages, but I just rediscovered how much warmer moleskins are than jeans. R.M. Williams FTW.

Is there something wrong with moleskins? I don't see many guys wearing them even though they are so comfy.

yes people who are 50+wear them with Blundstone boots...It aint 'street' gov...

these are a crime...



as are these...



saw some idiot running both the other day and lost my shit.

I just wear them with normal brown shoes, not outback boots... I feel like I'm over 50+ so does that make it OK?

timboh I certainly would not wear mustard colours boots like that.

Are Drizabones really fashionable now? I have to laugh when every second person at uni is wearing one. Half the time it's a sunny day!

Not a fan of R.M. Williams gear at all. Overpriced crap in my opinion. Sure it looks trendy but it won't stand up to the test if you're working.

Good thing I don't work then!

Exactly. No problem with the stuff if you're not working. Although I get annoyed seeing the 'wannabe' country kids walking around in full R.M. Williams and a Drizabone. Actually I don't get annoyed, I find it amusing more than anything.

I loved my Blundstone boots! They were awesome and I wore them everywhere. Except I am from the country so it's allowed 
I don't actually know what happened to them. I am sure they're still at my parent's place. Or being awesome on the feet of someone who ended up with them. I may have lent them out, I don't know!

I am bored of the blacks, greys and browns of winter,

bring on some bright spring colours

I swear people are scared to wear anything with colours during winter here. Always surprising (in a nice way) to go to Europe in winter and see how varied their winter styles are.

Then again they actually have a real winter.

Colours in clothing suck.

That is all.

Noddy is emo.

these jeans are so HOT right now

Bill's on a real winner there. If the jean thing doesn't fly, there's no doubt a stellar career in soundtracks for him.

I wore Yellow at Inbound's 11th, but hey, you don't go out often, so you wouldn't have known. I also wear red, green, light-ish-blue and orange clothes during winter (mostly hoodies ). I get comments like "man, you look like you just came in from the snow..."
I'm not that bad, i just dress bad Hitting up some new fashion soon...just gotta get time off to go to melbs...or Japan..hmmm Japan is much better, my clothes from there have done well all these years, kept me comfortable, made an interesting talking point for a few minutes to the fashion interested. Generic standards rarely go out of style, but it's time to update... yay !!

Then why are so many stores full of ostentatious clothes with too much fucking colour or ruined by some huge print that is unnecessary. They aren't scared enough of colour if you ask me.

Most the clothes in Adelaide are rubbish. And then when you do find something that isn't too bad, every store has like 20 of them.

Loved shopping in Melbourne though. No colours, just loads of navy, brown, grey, khaki etc - exactly the kind of colours and styles I love.

That's because it was heading into winter when you were here though.

Neon will be filling the shops in no time 

big ups noddy,
yep I agree!

try Brunswick street - they have the best threads...

with the warmer weather upon us, it is the dawn of Jersey Season. Have my eye on this little beauty to kick things off





vibrant, without being flashy. Clean lines, and classic tones. This would be more your evening jersey, perhaps best worn while dining with your lady friend

The funny thing is you're not joking. Pretty sure I've ate at a restaurant with you whilst wearing a jersey.

without remembering the occasion, I'd say it's a given lol

*waits for Rob to post*

She's a lucky girl. Hope she enjoys the Whopper value meal out the front of the NY Bar and Grill at Marion shops.

On a more serious note, how exactly does one size a basketball jersey?

Do you go for a fitted look, (say buying an M if you actually are a M in normal shirts), or do you go for a more breezy look (say a size or two bigger than your normal shirt size)?

I am asking as I wish to get my 13 year old nephew a present for his birthday and do not wish to make a fashion faux pas.

Are the Jazz the hot team this summer, Steve? Will he be the cool kid at school on casual day? I was thinking Boston Celtics, myself.
