May 20, 201214 yr Bought some Dockers chinos in beige and blue about 10 years ago. Just got ridiculed for looking like a 1980's throwback and called a twat. Still got them but doubt they'll fit. Was taking the piss out of Toms at work the other day and got called an unfashionable old twat but I'd ratheer wear sandles with socks than wear those things. Miami Vice jackets next. Now we're talking.Bring back the 80's i say- now where did a put them Wayfarers?
May 20, 201214 yr this song has been in my head head since this thread was started! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NeaW0jn0_bk
May 22, 201214 yr So, if Toms are out what's the "in" summer footwear for a child of the 70's ? Stylish sandals still for me but do distressed canvas pumps with laces crack it or does one of such an age fall under the umbrella ot twat ?? I'm tempted !

Do you ped egg and cut your nails nice and straight? If so, get a flip flop on, if not, stick to Lonsdale velcro trainers.
May 22, 201214 yr Funny how things come back in fashion over the years. I remember buying chinos over 20 years ago and back then it was Levis who claimed to have 'invented' them. Kinda pissed on my chips when my dad told me the tanks stationed here in the war were wearing them then as they were fatigues! But kids these days all dress the same, some are just fatter than others.....
May 22, 201214 yr Do you ped egg and cut your nails nice and straight? If so, get a flip flop on, if not, stick to Lonsdale velcro trainers. With 3/4 Umbro trackie pants and a No Fear Muscleback vest? All courtesy of the fat magpie.
May 23, 201214 yr I have been wearing Chino's for years. I find them more comfortable than jeans, and in the past day turned into good nights out as you didnt get turned away for wearing jeans.
May 23, 201214 yr Today is baking, taking the missus out for lunch. So, it's too warm for jeans, I'm not wearing shorts to go out. So, chinos it is. Now do I, go with converse pumps, long sleeve t shirt and look like I've done a trolley dash through Gap or go brogues, White Oxford shirt and look like an extra from Midsomer Murders?
May 23, 201214 yr Author So, these chinos people are wearing... Are they mustard coloured and elasticated at the bottom like a fashion victim?
May 23, 201214 yr I'm actually considering buying some for this summer fo r days when it's too hot for jeans. Not a huge fan of shorts, what with my legs looking like they'd be more at home hanging out of a nest, so I may have to take the plunge.
May 23, 201214 yr haha - Think I've got some never-worn ones tucked away in a "clothes for holidays" bag somewhere

May 23, 201214 yr get some linen pants daz, and start your own trend. Linen pants are a good look. I saw a corking silver fox in a pair once, in Deepdale Sainsbury's of all places. We even followed him round to look at his bum in them. He had Havaianas &shades on his head too. Oooff!
May 23, 201214 yr I remember wearing 10 hole doc martin's with coloured laces in the 80's no matter what the weather.Is there such thing as a bald fox NB?

May 23, 201214 yr I bought some deck shoes a couple of summers ago for my jollybobs - they're light and comfy so get a yes from me when the weather's nice Not got chinos as such but did wear them to the primary school trip to N Wales in the Butlins disco in 1989 and got alot of attention from the girls when we were dancing to the Bangles Got a few pastel type pants/jeans but definitely not with elasticated bottoms
