Some thoughts on British style



While the sun is out the best and the bad of the Brits fashion arsenal is on full inspection. Like it or not there is flesh people, in some cases lots of it. Here's a thought, why not drop subjects in the national curriculum like Religious Education (too many variations) and replace with some classic stylist advice. Lesson one: for those who lack a toned tummy, probably best NOT to wear a skin tight see through lightweight T shirt and low slung jeans.....thing is, if you've got a muffin top at the tender age of sixteen.....you've got a lot of fashion tuition to cram in for the rest of your twenties and thirties!!
Lesson Two - sportswear (except for vintage 80's Football Hooligan casual chic which looks mint on those with a more far left wing political leaning) belongs in a sporting arena, a gym, leisure centre or organised sporting endeavour. Juicy Couture apparel is an oxymoron of velveteen standards. Not only would it look out of place on a treadmill, neither does it ever look stylish in the shopping mall. Don't even get me started on the Ugg's.
Hey, to cut the kids some slack maybe style comes with age. Perhaps as one grows into their own skin they become a rounder person fashion wise. A lifetime of teenage fashion faux pas can provide a solid foundation for an adulthood of adoring glances and "I love your frock, shirt, shoes, boob tube!!" Delete as appropriate.
Theres one sure fire rule to follow in fashion: If it's not IN fashion, you can't be OUT of fashion.
Sway to your own beat brothers and sisters. Wear what you think looks the business....because if you're feeling it.....you're swaggering with style conviction.
Go out and play!!!
