This is a sort of companion thread to the male fashion one, but with a different emphasis.
I was out all last night, dirty clubs and bars etc so my friend offered me a change of clothes; a tracksuit that's really comfy, good fit, nice colours etc but it's got that Jordan jumping logo, so I can wear it round the house but... I realized I was ideogically opposed to wearing it outside. Cos I don't know basketball, I don't support this. It feels like wearing a t-shirt for a band I don't like... or don't even know, which is something else I can't do.
But it's a double-whammy cos it's that Jordan logo is so popular and... I'm not a total contrarian, but as a rule If there is something that everyone we ants it makes it less attractive to me. And those air Jordans etc with that logo were so ubiquitously desired that put me off as well.
Ok that's one thing that's not for me, but it might be fine for someone else. And I think what I said is fairly common sense and uncontroversial as regards me. Maybe that won't be true of everything...
Baseball caps are another one for me. And really if you're English... a baseball cap? It seems like a culture that's not ours that grew our of a sport we don't play... It feels embarrassing, like someone would rather be a second rate copy of someone else than be the best version of themselves.
I dunno, I bet there's quite a few people here who are English and wear baseball caps and I don't mean to insult them... but I guess I just did.
I suppose that reason I gave could be applied to lots of other clothes if you look at their history and maybe if I followed that rule strictly i would have to walk around naked, but I think with baseball caps it's so upfront with baseball in the name.
Anyway I'm sure no-one is exactly going to be worried to be indirectly insulted by someone with my taste... so maybe I can get away without actually offending anyone.
I'm sure there are other things too, but I wanna hear yours plus what you think to the above...
