Mod fashion and style / Re: I'd Wear That...
« on: March 07, 2021, 09:01:30 PM »I’ve seen post Corona predictions aiming both ways. Some that reckon there’ll be a resurgence of suits and ties and others that say the hoodies and joggers are here to stay.Well,I'm not counting o any prediction just yet, we have a number of these knuckle draggers running certain states (cough*Texas*cough) that could drag the "plague" out, ad nauseam. But regardless.
When you think about it we’ve been on a slow march towards casual clothes for the last hundred years since lounge suits replaced frock coats, and any recent blip - the #menswear movement, influences of Mad Men, Boardwalk Empire, Peaky Blinders etc - has been short-lived. We’re not quite at the stage predicted by post-Star Wars futuristic space age films and TV shows of one piece silver sparkle lame jump suits (Space 1999 anyone?) but the recent pandemic has certainly sped up the move in that direction.
I see blokes on Styleforum who either work from home or are retired and still get suited and booted every day. There’s a part of me that admires that but I can’t help feeling it has the whiff of cosplay about it. Most of the pics I post when suited are things I wear for work. I’m not at the stage of counting the days to my retirement yet but it has crossed my mind that unless either me and / or society undergo a sea change in the next ten years a lot of my suits and jackets will be gathering dust thereafter!
If the masses out there want to spend their days in sweats and hoodies, so be it.
As long as I can still get the gear I want, cool. I never would go out on a weekend without dressed for it, because that's what I wanted to do. As of now, I thnk I do it just for some shred of "normalcy", till this passes...BTW that "styleforum" bunch is a tough audience, ain't they??
Well , considering Texas along with Mississipi , Florida , the Dakotas and even Arizona are actually lifting the restricticions l think you have got it in reverse there , Mike .
What has Whitmer done? They will need to lock her up before she eases the lock down . .meanwhile in California. . it's the globalist t**ts that want to drag it out for ever. .ad nauseum
