This is a subject I have written about previously but I despair sometimes at the state of our populations dress sense or lack of it. I know we have become more casual but there seems to be a complete inability to understand how to dress with any style or pride? I am not suggesting we return to more formal wear but the average Britain seems unable to put a outfit together. We are not all able to afford expensive clothes but that is no excuse for the unmade bed and slovenly appearance of most of the people I see either have no personal pride or a mirror!
And while I am on the subject and sounding like the old foggie, that I am, I like a tasteful tattoo as well as the next person but this obsession with covering yourself, arms, necks and especially legs has gone too far and for me is deeply unattractive. I have considered getting a small tasteful one, so I have no objection to tattoos in general but in moderation.
Style is a very personal thing and having grown up through the 60’s and once considered myself a “mod” though it morphed into a sort hybrid mod hippy as the 70’s arrived, I like to think I have some idea how to put an outfit together and try to look well dressed. I do not own a any kind of leisure suit and would never go out in public in one if I did. I freely admit that I am a snob but then that was self evident!
Perhaps if we took more pride in the way we present ourselves, then our society might just be a little better. When the man at the top looks like he has no idea how to dress himself and often looks dishevelled, then what example is that to the country? This may seem trivial or even cruel but a little smartness of at least co-ordinated style is not too much to ask is it?
Stay well
