    girls in guy's garb

    I understand that amongst some types in Weimar Germany, it was popular for women to wear men's clothing, such as white-tie for evening dress.

    Why!!!! Hipsters!!! Why!!!!!

    Or they're discussing the events unfolding behind them and what the future would hold then. The woman in the middle doesn't to me look like she's relaxed and with a nonchalant attitude, but turning to listen to the man in the dark t-shirt. Same for the man in the orange t-shirt. It doesn't seem...

    Ralph Lauren Mens Spring 2013 Collection

    I thought the whole image of Ralph Lauren was that of a preppy, WASPy, old money type, with anglophilic influences? So how on Earth does this fit in?! http://www.style.com/fashionshows/complete/slideshow/S2013MEN-RLAUREN/#20

    The general decline in standards today

    I reached six foot when I was 13, and found myself being "volunteered" for the rugby team. If any of us tried to skive off, we were sent off with bin bags to pick up rubbish from the grounds.

    The general decline in standards today

    And if you read my comment, you'll see there's a winking smiley face at the end. That means it's a joke.

    The general decline in standards today

    Isn't being dim-witted and aggressive the job requirement for a games teacher? ;)

    Does vintage make you look.... *older*?

    Out here in the provincial cities you will see plenty of shorts. Usually accompanied by either a tank-top (or indeed no shirt), and an "England" tattoo on the back of the head, or on the hands. Quite long shorts too, past the knee.

    A commercial that promotes the worst of today

    stamping on individuality, which is exactly the same as every other modern bathroom. Still, cookie-cutter "individualism" is about par for the course in modern society, as has been stated many times here on the FL.

    A Better Dressed McDonald's in the UK

    I don't see the point in "de-Americanising" the clothes. McDonald's is such a recognisably American brand after all, up their with Hollywood and Coca-Cola. And as for this line "eating out isn't a sport, it's a luxury ".... It's McDonalds, changing the uniforms won't make it quality food.

    Big Ben to be Renamed in Honor of Queen Elizabeth's Diamond Jubilee

    Corporate names almost never do stick. For example, most people I know call it the London Eye or Millennium Wheel, not the EDF Eye or whatever it's supposed to be called.

    Big Ben to be Renamed in Honor of Queen Elizabeth's Diamond Jubilee

    Big Ben isn't being renamed, the tower is. Big Ben is the bell ;)

    British Police

    There are no hi-vis vest in the police force in this county. Instead it's a hi-vis stab-proof vest worn over a black polo shirt. Paramilitary, unfriendly, and now scruffy.

    The general decline in standards today

    London is actually much nicer than more provinicial areas of the UK when it comes to drunken idiots. I live in Sheffield, and certainly West Street (one of the main drinking streets) is certainly not a nice place to walk down on a Friday or Saturday night. That said, I do think a lot of the...

    Abercrombie & Fitch ~ Savile Row protest London

    Unfortunately I couldn't make the protest, but I signed the petition. Were any London based Loungers able to attend?

    Actor Gary Oldman and his love of fashion

    Sounds fairly normal for most "designer" clothes. I remember buying a Ted Baker suit once, which fell apart after 4 months of normal wear. Overpriced, flimsy, badly made rubbish that it was.

    Which Suits Here are 1920s Period-Accurate?

    Definitely the one second from the left.

    "Reconstructing History" banner ad

    Likewise, if it wasn't for this thread I'd have probably never noticed the ad! I actually had to scroll up and search for it.
