    and to avoid a huge battle with the rest of you' date=' i normally am ok with cult's fits, but this one is just a bad robert smith tribute. shirt is like a tall tee from footlocker and the jeans are tucked into his shoes. the 80's were fine, and it's fun to see pics from that era, but reliving the bad trends from the 80's does not carry over today.[/quote']

    Dude, fashion today is just a bunch of fucking late 70s/early 80s rehashes.

    Anyhow, only thing putting me off of the fit is the massive dressy shirt against the short jacket. Change up either of those pieces and it's golden.

    I don't mean to be hating on people so much lately, normally i try to be positive, but we've had some royally awful fits coming into waywt

    Beat me to that one. All over print matched to SBs with horribly fitting jeans = no thanks.

  3. that out fit is ruined for me by the trainers,top half is like a different picture looks good,just jeans and trainers dont really work with the smartness of top half

    I completely disagree, but then the probability of me rocking out a shirt and skinny tie with 501s and bust ass canvas shoes is pretty high on any given day. The particular choice of trainers and the tongues out is indeed putting me off of a great outfit though, and actually looking again the cut of 1933s is way too slouchy and casual for the top half. So I agree, but I think jeans and sneakers could work fine with the right pieces.

    Oh, and a navy/mono day for me too. Must be something in the air round these parts.

  4. Buzzcocks, this year. Everyone was a bit weirded out by their newer material, then they came back on and did a half hour encore of all their hits. Cue a couple of hundred 40 year old men going absolutely batshit.

    Of the other 80 odd bands I've seen this year, the long heralded return of My Vitriol at a one off gig in London was one hell of a show... not just because of the mammoth wall of sound coming from the band, but the absolute diehard nature of MV fans who came from all over Europe to cram into a 1650 head venue.

    That's all I can be arsed to list right now.

  5. That's essentially the problem i have with the Modern Amusement pea coat I got. But you see, I, like sphoxx it would seem, have broad shoulders but skinny ass legs.

    How can one remedy this without compromising arm length or too much room?

    Accept that when you're layered up like hell you're not necessarily going to look in proportion with mega-skinny jeans? On very cold days (a thing that is happening less and less in the south of England these past 5 years), I end up whacking out an old faithful pair of bootlegs over my 501s... keeps my jeans wearing in, keeps me warm and keeps my fit in proportion when I'm layered to sin with sweaters, scarves and jackets.

  6. Yeah, high waists have been touted as the S/S07 essential jean for some time... Kate Moss has been seen in both skinny high waists and stonewash flares. Meaning it's less a death of 'skinny' and more a death of the much longer running low rise trend for the time being... Still, Lindsay Lohan has already been pictured wearing the same Chloe jeans as Kate Moss on denimology.co.uk, and a lookalike is already on sale in Topshop, so it looks like it's going to be the new retarded women's trend in place of the horrible city shorts/legging combo of the last year.

    Still, both girls and guys should just stick to wearing stuff that flatters them rather than what's 'fashionable'. My girlfriend is a pretty much perfect hourglass, and quite rightly has entirely shunned the skinny trend and stuck to wearing bootlegs, and the amount of hipster idiot guys with thighs twice the size of mine trying to pull off skinny denim has reached breaking point lately.

  7. I call the cops on my neighbors twice a weekend... sometimes more. They have an appreciation for techno and beer pong that I really can't come close to. I'd be fine with it... really... if not for the fact that the appreciation reaches new heights at 3 a.m. with all their windows open.

    Try living in the centre of the UK's party town. It's not so bad where I'm living right now, but my flat which I'm letting at the moment is 5 minutes from clubland, and you're fucked if you're getting to sleep before 3 or 4 on the weekends.

  8. I have real issues with the LVC sizing.

    Basically they just cater to the 32x32, 34x34 group of people .... e.g. the "standard" sizes they will sell in mega-volume.

    They don't seem to give a toss about short / tall / fat / skinny people anymore, whereas in the earlier Valencia street era early 90s, they made a much greater size range in the LVC collections.

    Bah, fuck even proportions in jeans. It's all about the massive discrepancy between waist and inseam...
