Its not a striking statement if I were to say that if I took a trip out into town tonight Id be swarmed with seas of Peacoat wearing office monkeys or grimacing youths in low slung grey marl track bottoms, but what are the other staple garms of the common cloned man that are getting on your nerves?

yet half the forum are still buying into that said craze
rolls, check
caps, check
chinos, check

especially last summer, this board was full of sickfits getting epic props with that.
just fashion innit, and now that look has become more mainstream, people turn against it and slate it. just like when underground bands get famous. its funny.

aint no big thing, dress how you wanna dress. its just funny to see the elitism come out when a certain 'type' of person starts wearing brands or clothes that you used to like to wear.

You right Jordan,

Probably the crux on how the labels keep on selling - making people think they are different and giving a sense of elitism to a minority.

putting chinos on that list is like putting jeans on it, they are a basic type of trouser that i would say transcends trends

plebs can wear them badly, other people wear them well

(no kenan and kel)

Chinos transcend trends. Elasticated cords, carrot fit, nappy fit and random colours are a chino trend though. Agree with Jordan on stuff coming in and out of the 'fuk' cycle and then the mainstream cycle.

As far as chinos go, i've got no problem with them. I wear them most days. Cant deal with the silly bright coloured ones though. Seen people with salmon pink chinos on .... SALMON PINK?!

Think the reason why people on here are elitist about it is because as Joe blogs pointed out people can take something and wear it poorly. Like Jordan said people were posting waywts not so long ago with rolled up chinos and caps, probably with a check shirt thrown in aswell, but it's when it hits the mainstream that people make it look cheap and homogenise it (ie. Cheap topman chinos with them little White buttons, vans, nonsensical slogan t-shirt and an obey SnapBack). It just pisses people off when your average person take a style and make it look cheap/uninteresting/tacky.

That's taken in Mint Club in Leeds. I've worked there on and off over the last four years whilst at uni and some nights the majority of guys were dressed in vests and chinos/drop crotch jeans like that guy, though maybe not quite as ridiculous as that him... Genuinely think Leeds is the worst dressed city in the UK.

When you’ve spent hours in the gym and a full body wax, why hide it all under a tight tee shirt when you can wear a strappy top.
