Always wary of doing the "old bloke laughing at what the youngsters are wearing" thing, I clicked - but this is hilarious - they're taking the mick surely aren't they? 🙂

At least the model looks thrilled to bits.

How long have sandals been called "sliders"?

 Make your break last a little bit longer by wearing shorts in the airport, whatever the weather

Erm I do this most of the summer and I'm 49 and not at all hip!

Great to see a bit of snobbery from the usual.

Possibly a subversive photo study highlighting the plight of Salvation Army clothes donation bin rough sleepers?

I dunno, I think I’d possibly want more for the £2k ish  each they all seem to have spent on charity shop clobber.

Oh, and never skip leg day, kids.

Just use a bit of imagination, its not what you wear its how you wear it - almost any of these outfits could easily be enhanced by being accessorised with a casually slung Kalashnikov for instance.

Apart from the one at the top of the thread - that calls for a fez and a little pair of cymbals.

That is beautiful. Show up dressed like that in any Russian transport hub and you will either be beaten up immediately, or taken for one of the locals, chances are roughly 50/50.

Except this one where he looks like a returning Olympian who's lost half his tracksuit.

I'm so fashion forward -  I've been wearing socks and sandals back from the trails for years....

I'll take the £310 mock thrift store t-shirt and the £200 Jimmi Choo holiday inn sandals.

I'm the stag,  the ****'s stole my trousers and left me in the airport in my boxer shorts.

I totally expect Aussie Wil to be wearing much of this stuff in a future 'Sponsored content' feature.

I'm still scarred by the 'Let's dress him in everything Endura make' winter clothing puff.

They looked like the outfit that I was made to wear on my stag do. Assembled from charity shops, it was genius because unlike fun fancy dress it was just about believable that it was normal clothing.

Some time around the end of the 80s a bunch of us had the idea of having a bit of fancy dress night out - just go out around town as we normally did on Thursday night (Giro-night the best night out in town), but dressed in clothes from the 70s. Not 'fancy dress' - more kind of geography teacher chic. Fine - wall went off to raid the charity shops and later convened at the pool table in the Royal Alfred in nylon, knitted ties and flares looking like extras from Life on Mars. Accept for Dave who had only really half heard the plan 'fancy dress' and '70s' and turned up as Dylan from the Magic Roundabout.- Quite a strong look in St Helens in 1989.

Socks halfway up your legs regardless of the shoes accompanying them always remind me of middle aged Americans on holiday. Socks reaching your knees should only be worn if you’re kicking a ball around

People don’t pay £1,100 for a cardigan. Surely. Not actually. Must be a pisstake

Well, I'm disappointed Dez - you can't carry off "just" the slides.  It's the whole look or not at all

I don't know about knotted hankie,but if he had a sign saying "Welcome to Plovdiv" that could be my holiday rep from 1996.

One thing for sure, the poor lad doesn't ride a singlespeed. Not with legs like spindles.

But other than having read Sartor Resartus, I'm sadly underqualified to comment on sartorial elegance

I'm glad this qualifies for free shipping

The extra 3.95 p+p might tip it over the edge when it comes to value for money

Shorts, £390, cardigan, £1,110, T-shirt, £310, necklace, £425, and sandals, £510, Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello.

Say what now? £400 for a pair of shorts that are literally a pair of well-washed black denim jeans hacked off and the edge allowed to fray, and a tee shirt that would cost £3.99 on any given high street market stall?

Yeah, it’s basically showing that there are idiots with more money than sense, and an inability to stop letting their mum dress them.

I’m wearing a pair of old, Vietnam-era tiger-stripe camo combats I’ve hacked off at the knee, and they’ve faded nicely over the fifteen years or so I’ve had them, they’ve got to be worth £600, Shirley?

Actually, the first thing I thought of when I saw the thread title was this:

<span style="font-size: 0.8rem;">Just showing those photos to my g/f, and that’s almost exactly what she said, in between pissing herself laughing! She’s just said that there’s nothing there that should be seen being worn in the street, and she’s not too complimentary about the bloke’s legs, either. She honestly can’t believe anyone could seriously suggest that those outfits are suitable for anyone to wear in public. She’s not wrong, either, she volunteers in a local charity shop, and the clothes they sell are better looking than anything in those photos.</span>

Noticed some teva shoes / sandals mentioned somewhere in there ..and I do mourn the fact that they stopped making mtb shoes ..however fully understandable if they can get away with producing shit like that for 5 times the price and actually getting mugs to part with their hard earned ...😂

@davosaurusrex that ‘windbreaker’ is comical. Surely this site must be some sort of parody or joke to build interest before they release clothes to wear. Or maybe it’s an artistic endeavour?
