The style of youth

**Beemer** · 20th January 2007, 22:24

You know when you are young and your parents buy you clothes that make you look like a dork? Well, the sad part is, the young of today buy their own clothes...

As my husband says of 'style' today, if their parents bought them pants that were five sizes too big and shorts with crotches that hang down to their knees and showed off their underwear, they would refuse to wear them! As for the hoodie style - we were at the airshow in Wairarapa today and it was hot - as it usually is in Masterton. This guy aged about 20 was standing next to us in jeans, workboots, a teeshirt, flannel check shirt and hooded jacket! We only knew he had so many clothes on because the teeshirt and shirt were hanging down under his jacket - he could well have had a singlet on too! I was in shorts and a singlet...

And we thought the height of uncool when teenagers was your parents refusing to buy Levis and wanting you to wear elastic waisted denim pants instead!

lmfao...thats why my best friend buys new...reckons she can feel the spirits in the clothes

but hell...i save more money this way. ive got two pairs of jeans that get regular use, a few shirts, a jersey and socks and undies. also my boots and work shoes. everything comes from the same place. i love being able to say that every single stitch of clothing is second hand. shocks quite a few people!
