Going to DJ in Dusseldorf tomorrow - did I mention that - and I was planning to get kinda dressed up (as mentioned above) in this sort of pvc/vinyl jacket thing I have but Liza has banned that.
I've got this even more ridiculous kinda latex hoodie that she doesn't even know about... I wish I dared spring that on her on the night....

maybe she's got your health in mind: you'd sweat to death in hot club.

always thinking about that when I see people wearing those long latex gloves that reach up to the shoulder.
must feel like you're steaming your own flesh after a few hours

that was Colour Factory which frankly is not my top choice in London. horrible sound system somehow, for a gentrification themed place

proper latex stuff is very common among the geezers who go to Slimelight or other Electrowerkz nights. there you can encounter much more interesting outfit choices overall, including shoes no clothes

The American workwear thing is funny, it's basically cosplay.

Men with soft podgy hands that have only ever known a keyboard, queuing for a coffee on Broadway market dressed as a lumberjack or railroad worker.

There's also the English variant where you get blokes dressed like Fred Dibnah minus the flatcap.

It's absolutely cosplay... seems like yet another art form that has run out of steam and is left with reshuffling the pack of fashions of yesteryear. Someone other than me will need to explain why workwear or 70s glam or whatever comes round at the specific time that it does however.

Tattoos are part of this too aren't they? The further yer average hipster gets from a life at sea on a whaler out of Nantucket or in a Russian prison, the more loudly his body art proclaims precisely that lifestyle.

This has been part of men's fashion since forever, though, hasn't it? It's not like your average wearer of trainers has just come from basketball practice and hasn't had time to change.

It's sort of related but I reckon that lots of trainer wearers have been doing something for which they are the most appropriate footwear. Also the trainer wearer may well have played football in their life... the average hipster has almost never plunged his arm to the shoulder into the gaping wound in the side of a thrashing whale they have have helped harpoon and winch aboard from a small boat being tossed around like a toy in the high seas.

I think like anything these differences have become more pronounced...

waiting for wearing studs off the football pitch to become a thing. or those things they make you wear to protect your balls if you play cricket.

One complaint I've seen against women's clothing is the lack of pockets.
That isn't one complaint that's the complaint! get your nose out of those Pynchon novels

The repartee is something like market adequacy and blaming the gays

I can't remember who, but I remember hearing about someone wearing ice hockey gloves for a while.

What do you like about women's jeans? Is it a sizing thing or a preferred look? Or both?
