maybe you're right. I spent a good deal of time in Broadway Market last July and I didn't see cardigans. I saw headscarfs a la Coronation Street, flat caps and Harris tweed jackets, along with those awful skinny jeans, and fake work shoes (which I'm afraid to say I've taken up - switching to proper work shoes when working). But, then again, I don't do youth fashion - I look to the icons of middle age like Becks and Robbie to lead the way (hence the black on black thing).Dell get up to speed....
Cardies have been in for at least two years, fashion student son says so therefore it must be true, and it is what he's been buying for me to wear. In fact I'm wearing a Xtmas 2009 cardigan as I type.
as for
"skinny cardigans, striped, over the ubiquitous check shirts, paired with skinny jeans. And, just when you thought it was safe to go out in the rain, plimsolls are back"
that's all so last year. You've described the 'hipster' uniform to a tee omitting only the iphone, mac, shoulder bag and fixie which completes the look for the London set.
One returning tragically hipster looking type who came back from uni last year can be seen riding around the 'sham in said uniform on his London refugee singlespeed bike with no back brake. Bless. Still he has doubled the number of ss riders in the town.
Cardigans rock, preferably with a shawl collar for the more mature, but you need leather slippers to complete the 'chap' look
Oooh! Does this mean I can get my Hebridean knit sweater down from the attic?
Beards, by the way, are now completely over.
