Is this the new fashion?

[anonymous-user]

Noticed this a fair bit recently - most frequently at the school drop off..

Women - riding style jodhpurs, brig trainers, Baseball cap

Blokes - Lycra leggings, shots over the top, some sort of sports t shirt or hoodie and the obligatory beanie hat.

I must add it's no council estate school either - quite a well to do, affluent type of parent.

I've said a few times during chit chat 'oh are you going to the gym this morning..' only to be told no; maybe shopping etc.

At 43 I'm getting on a bit and out of touch with the younger fashion but wondered what all this st was - some sort of new gym wear trend/style?

Think I can live with that look rather than the retards of the jeans round the knees brigade

Yep that's the 'look' I was referring to!

Are they moving on from the Black jeans with both knees ripped ? Almost every female in the age range 15yrs to 30 yrs wears these.

Jodphurs. Get a lot around here, but then then some people have horses.

Loads of the Yummy mums at my kids school wear this. I quite like it really.

Work it like a sweat shop. Just buy it.

I have a one piece Lycra cycling suit. It's one size too small and I'm one size too big. It's really not a pretty sight, as my back hair pokes through like a hedgehog's spines.

You were picked on and called a scrubber when i was younger if you had holes in your jeans

Yesterday, two guys in front of me climbing steps to board aircraft from KL to Penang.

Baggy shorts, thick Lycra leggings, big chunky trainers, baggy tops.

I was thinking is this a practical outfit for flying (no they weren't the pilots...)?

Didn't realise it was the new fashion!

In general, wearing sportswear when not doing sport/exercise marks you out as a bit of an idiot...in my opinion.

Beautiful piece of poetry.

Maybe set it to music?

We always knew which were our 'good' trousers; they were the ones without the patches.
Ripped jeans / trousers reflected poorly on ones mother.

Loving the ripped jeans fashion here.

The usual cycle is
1.Best
2. Good
3. Domestic work/car washing
4. Working on car/gardening
5. bin

Now , when after 4 they get a hole in the knees,
4b. Best ( again)
