Spot on!!
I was talking about how fashion has changed over the last decade or so with a colleague at work today and saying that in the past when you went over to that there France, you could always tell the difference between the French kids and the Brits because the clothes that the French wore appeared to be about a decade out of date and were normally things like shell suits. These days the opposite is true. You can spot the Brits a mile off because they just look so fucking ridiculous! I guess that when fashion sense is dictated by footballers, big brother participants and Cheryl Cole, it's inevitable really...

there's a difference between other generations where clothing was a bit crazy and funny-looking, and this particular example of a pair of trousers that make it impossible to even walk normally. I'm with the dad on this one. Nothing wrong with wearing skinny jeans if that's the look you want, but at least make sure you can perform basic functions like walking and sitting in them!

...that my father's observations were utterly correct is irrelevant.

I think the most impractical clothing I ever had was ridiculously baggy jeans that went with the whole BMX/dirt jumping thing. The inside of the left leg was shredded on the chain-wheel and nearly caused several accidents. That said, being a bit shredded and ingrained with bike oil/grease was part of 'the look'!
