that wave seems to have been and gone a bit in brooklyn. thought they looked pretty weird when i first saw them. my impression, not being a girl, and i doubt there will be one coming along to set me straight, is that it's one of those fashions which you can only wear if you're pretty skinny. which in some ways they emphasise, it's kind of a status thing in a wayWtf has happened to women’s jeans?

we should start a dissensus commune in bed-stuy.We can’t all be in Brooklyn, Shak
They’re well weird, weird in that a craze over winter into spring of the most unflattering kind of attire became a norm. Like a warpdrive to 1985, remorselessly monstrous retro update

Remember when "thigh gap" was a thing? Your post reminded me of that cos that was something that always struck me as more about status than looking good - now of course it goes without saying that this is the case to a greater or lesser extent with all fashions, but thigh gap seemed to me a hundred percent jammed over to the furthest extreme on the status axis.it's one of those fashions which you can only wear if you're pretty skinny. which in some ways they emphasise, it's kind of a status thing in a way
Dunno why a bloke would want a thigh gap anyway, I mean you'd have to be a nullo-eunuch, wouldn't you?Remember when "thigh gap" was a thing?

yeah. the thing the thigh gap made me think of was how culture is able to create anxieties about basically any part of the body, just by setting a (more or less unreachable for 80% or whatever of people) standard and then finding a vocabulary for it. it's interesting that this seems to be something that we do to one another, rather than it being something that's in the interests of a particular business or a government or a more powerful organization like thatRemember when "thigh gap" was a thing?

sometimes it makes people look like spiders, i quite like thatI'm tall and thin, so slim cut are the way to go for my build. skinny for some brands are actually just slim, but actual skinny looks pretty stupid on guys unless you're a young druggy rock star and the trousers are leather.
i mean it's been said on here before hasn't it, but obviously one of the main fashions, innovations, aesthetic things that's been going on in recent years has been manipulation of the body, of muscles and fat, putting your body into one desired shape or another
I have a £900 Brioni body warmer (hugely reduced in tkmaxx): down filler, silk lining, tortoiseshell buttons, wool mix outer, lamb leather piping and details..it's the most opulent thing I ownI bought my first 'body warmer' recently. Green in the style of a fishing gilet, which was its intended purpose when I bought it, but I can't stop wearing it. It makes me feel like I can't decide if I'm going to join a boyband or join the country set and buy my first house in Chipping Norton.
