Miss Match

A simple lesson in the subtle art of 'same-same but different'

Whole lotta sock!

A little while back I mentioned the evident resurgence of the 'pin-roll' technique of styling one's slacks. I'm still seeing it and it seems more of a sneakerhead thing; a styling tool to accentuate the aesthetic of those prized vintage Mowabs, or maybe they are the re-pros, who cares, they're sweet, and your proud of them! However, something else seems to have popped up on the radar. Too lazy to bother with the technicalities of perfecting the pin-roll, or failing to source the knowledge of how-to, the sock-tuck has surfaced as a stronger contender as the more readily adoptable hem styling option amongst the yoof. This could be the secondwind of nordic invasions. It seems to have gathered most strength amongst Scandiweigens (and Sunday League goalkeepers)who are deploying it under the guise of city break touristic teen groups. All eyes on Oxford Street for the rise of the sock line!

I've been waiting to post this up. Loved it as soon as I saw it. What a look. Creeping through the aisles of the local H&M I spotted these two coordinated cuties. Look closely at the styling. Yeah, they are wearing jeans under their tracksuit bottoms. "Why?" you ask. Well, from the "ah-hem" horses mouth - "The bottoms are too small to wear low you know, so we wear our jeans underneath so that we can pull'em down without properly exposing ourselves". I remarked on the genius of their double layering technique, to which one of the girls replied "Nah, it's triple, three layers innit, look... underwear as well" proceeding to flash her flower patterned 'Tuesday' briefs. Nice.
