Or ripped jeans or leather trousers. It's Darwinian. What young lads notice, kind of a code for them. And of course young woman want to get noticed. Plus the lads wear skinny jeans and white trainers too. Looks silly and must be uncomfortable :lol:

Of course makes no sense that hundreds of chavettes and bambini can pack out a primani but you cannot talk to a parent indoors, but that's covid-19 rules for you.

Who needs Primark? This tasteful ensemble appeared in a banner ad as I was looking at this thread.

I suppose the fact I looked at it means I will be targeted with similar ads forever more!

I've noticed a fashion trend during lockdown(s) for how shall I put it somewhat overweight and/or unattractive young women to display their excesses in tight-fitting leisure wear.

I tend to look away - unless the woman is slim and attractive, in which case i tend to pretend I haven't noticed them.

The common factor is that neither are dressing to attract your attention.

That common factor would be true of everyone that doesn't know everyone else and/or isn't interested in what anyone thinks.

Much to Mrs bnc's chagrin and innumerable predecessors, dressing to please someone else in particular isn't my scene. I dress to keep and stay warm. Also I usually wear the same jacket wherever; as a friend remarked in case i"m not recognised if I don't. Which might explain why the pretty young things that inhabit our neighbourhood invariably wave and smile and greet whenever they see me.

Little boys and girls obviously delighted to see a dinosaur walking the streets.
