This will probably not make much sense unless you've ever been clubbing in shoreditch and the east end of london 

Oh, An impressive music to my ears.

Barbie~~

Skinny jeans. Not the ones on the skeletal emo kids (those are probably the only thing that stays up over their butts), but the ones for the average jane/joe. Especially on hipsters. I do not need a perfect outline of your junk or cameltoe!

I have recently discovered jeggings. I spend my life in skinny jeans and these look the same....just feel less tight. I am a fan, does this make me a ->-bleeped-<-? 😀

In the mid to late 80s I was tightening and then cuffing the legs of my already slim jeans so they would appear tight at the top of my shoes. I was not the only one. lol. I thought it was the coolest thing back then. As I look at this picture of Conan, I realize this is very similar to what me and my friends looked like back then. lol. After seeing this pic I have lost all hope that I was 'cool' back then. Hah. 😉

The video brought it rushing back in all it's horror.  Lime green cuffed flares without pockets, polyester safari jackets, platform shoes, skin tight jeans and a jumper that ended at the navel, crew-cuts with rat tails dangling past the collar.  Aggghhhhh! 😮

I like them too...good job being a ->-bleeped-<-'s cool

Low rise pants are very sexy if you have a great body.  They are NOT Attractive if there are fat rolls hanging over (muffin top).  It looks so silly to watch girls walk around always pulling their pants up because their butt ctacks are showinh especially because it's alwaysthe crack you DON'T want to see.... 😮

Some fashions should have a size cut-off

It really depends on the quality. The cheap ones look absolutely gross. You know the fugly ass material with the jean pattern printed on them. But the better made, jean like material - made to look like actual jeans, ones look pretty good.

I think the Gap carries some that are really well made and you can't tell the difference between them and skinny jeans.

I like the basic black leggings that are smooth and can be worn with a dress like pantyhose or tights

But I'm more interested in comfort than trends 

Studded belts...I don't get it.  Whats the appeal?  😀

Doubles as a weapon.  True story.

Ok, I can see the use of them now.    But what about fishnet clothing?  (all of these I've worn before XD)

Pre-ripped jeans.
I once worked with a guy who had to have his dry-cleaned because they would not have survived a washing machine!

Huge chunky 'nerd' glasses that don't actually have lenses.

How 'bout the disco era, Saturday Night Fever inspired Levi's Angel Flight dress pants and suits?  LOL... I secretly kinda liked them because they looked and felt like women's clothes IMO 

Shot gun jeans and platform shoes

I guess possibly being a ->-bleeped-<- has a different meaning in the UK... Here in the US it's a rather rude thing to say... But I don't care because I find it humorous

My obnoxiously loud neighbor is obese and actually looks like a penis and ball sack with a pair of arms and legs... If I could, I would put him in a shipping crate and send him to you so you could truly enjoy the essence of a true ->-bleeped-<- 

Anyone remember elephant bell bottoms?

I spent Christmas with my family.  Every time I wore leggings my mom would go on about how I should get some jeggings.  I made lots of jokes about them, especially because the pajama jeans commercial was on tv about every 10 minutes.  But my sister had a pair and they looked nice.  I have never found a pair of skinny jeans that look right (I blame my height), so I tried a pair of "jean leggings" at the gap last week, and I love them.  I wear them with things I would normally wear leggings with,  but they are a bit heavier and less revealing.   They look great with boots in the winter and are a bit warmer.  I am definitely converted.

Me, I hate ripped or overly distress jeans.  If I am going to drop some money on a new pair of jeans, I want them to look new.  Also, I can't stand leggings with waist length tops outside of an athletic venue.  I also am no fan of fashion where your bra obviously shows through your top, too slutty!  I think I could go on, but thats all for now.
