Attire Today

[Khandro]

Around the middle of the last century, children dressed like their parents. Nowadays, parents dress like their children. Has infantilism become epidemic?

[spathiphyllum]

I don't think it's childish to have a sense of fashion that isn't as dates at the grandparents.

Some people living are 15 some people living are 85 the age gap between that consists of people who wear dated clothes and modern clothes.

There is nothing juvenile about it.

[Zacs-Master]

We can always rely on Khandro to put the 'mental' into Judgemental.

[Baldric]

I've been in shorts and Tee's for the last 5 months, is that dated?

[Khandro]

So walking around town - or even entering a church to gawp, wearing a T-shirt bearing the single word f*** is OK is it?

[spathiphyllum]

If people always dressed like those older then them, then fashion and style would never change. It would constantly be replicating what came before.

In today's age that isn't sustainable.

[spathiphyllum]

Depends if it's *** of ***.

Although.. I see how people who voted for brexit would be upset about a french connection united kingdom shirt.

[Zacs-Master]

Are you sure the T shirt didn't say ***.

[Zacs-Master]

Grrrrr. That was F C U K

[Mamyalynne]

Should anyone enter a Church wearing rude slogans (if that's what it was), they don't have much respect - that has nothing to do with fashion or age.

[Baldric]

No slogans on my Tee's

[Khandro]

No, it was the f word. I've travelled in the UK, Germany, Poland & France & slobs abound, though France, particularly French women are the best turned out of all.

[Zacs-Master]

What, exactly, upsets you about people wearing (according to you) T shirts with profanities on them?

[Tilly2]

The middle of the last century was when I was born and I certainly didn't dress like my parents, particularly when I was a teenager. Heaven forbid. :-)

but they're still French

[Old_Geezer]

With better health care maybe folk don't feel old like the past generations did, and are content to dress in younger styles to look and feel younger. Whereas past generations felt older, acted and dressed older, to suit.

Or maybe it's about buying what the stores stock.

[Zacs-Master]

It's about kicking off the first half of the 20th Century's ridiculous social constraints and dressing as you want when you want / eating when you want and what you want / forming relatinships with who you want etc etc. There will always be people who abuse the freedom but it is in no way a sound foundation to brand everyone as infantile.

[davebro]

Most of the time I dress for comfort. There was that fad a couple of years back with teenage lads showing their undies & the pants crotch at about knee level. I see that's died the death.

//So walking around town - or even entering a church to gawp, wearing a T-shirt bearing the single word f*** is OK is it?//

Yes, completely. A word can't hurt you.

I thought it was us remainers who were the "snowflakes".

[Mozz71]

//// French women are the best turned out of all //

All the better. That accent...

For heavens sake...we have to turn into our parents and grandparents do we? Right off to buy a girdle and stockings and over the knee tweed skirts and some purple hair dye...oh and must cut off my nearly waist length hair so I conform to my grandmothers taste in clothing.....Bit of an attempt at stirring the pot I feel.....was it an article in the Mail today??
