Is anybody else sick of the fashion in highstreets these days. I find it hard to find something to spend my money on! Everything seems baggy/ asymmetrical or crazy patterned. The shoes are like betty boops rejects all shiny and large and pretty gross lol. I dunno I just think the styles have gotten very quirky in the last 5 or so years and there are not the nice things there used to be..Ok there were always trends like leggings and things but it seems to be totally taking over ahhhh. Anybody any opinions?

Just remember that fashion is decided by people trying to sell clothes, often at inflated prices. They change them regularly to sell more and pay lots of simpering idiots to push their styles on TV so the idiotic general public will buy them because they're the 'fashion'. Don't know where you live but if you are in England can you remember such disasters as hot pants, loons, 'Frankie say War' tee shirts, platform soles, bell bottoms and so on. Nobody would be seen dead in such things now but, at one time, they were 'must haves'. Personally I don't follow 'fashion' . I buy and wear what I like and if people don't like it then 'Tough'. If more people refused to buy clothes that were foisted on as as 'fashionable' then perhaps these people would start to realise that they can't dictate to us. I remember some years ago being on a train from London to Manchester and some poser of a fashion buyer was waving his mobile phone around (They were relatively recent then) and made a call to his buyers to get hold of as much tartan cloth as they could. later I asked him why and he told me that he had been to a fashion meeting in London and that's what they'd decided everyone would wear that Autumn (Fall to you Yanks). Sure enough in Autumn all the girls were wearing their dark green and brown tartans. Not seen any since though. I bet this guy made a killing.

Personally I've never been one to buy into anybodies elite I've always made and broke my own styles why wear what everybody else does when you can be you? Could you imagine walking into the same room to find other people have exactly the same clothes?
I would agree completely that the fashion right now is really bland it's all the same thing's over and over again. But I think you should go with what makes you happy I'm sure there's something out there just screaming out for you to buy it!!
Good question,
Thank you.

I agree totally - but I like to be different from anyone else ! I get alot of my stuff which you dont see in our high streets from Ebay - I have found a number of shops in hong kong and germany which are cheaper despite the postage. My mates are always asking where I get my stuff!

i agree!! the fashions these days are made for skinny, shapeless people whose meal is one carrot a day. What happened to the good clothes? I have to admit, i love shopping, especially clothes shopping, but its getting harder to find clothes that i like that are fairly decently priced...its so sad!!!
