Is it me who's getting old?

Post by snoopysue »

Yes I know, you'll probably say it is......but :roll: :roll:

The fashion of today is strange to say the least. I've seen several girls (from early to late teens) wearing what I can only describe as huge baby grows. A sort of baggy all in one trouser suit with a hood! It's not just a danish thing either, the german tourists are wering them too!

What other strange things are people wearing?

They are retro harping back to the jump suits of the 1980's.

My daughters say they are not popular in Australia and seem to be a european thing.

If they were like a baby's "grow suit" they would have buttons up the legs so you could peel back the bottom half when chainging nappies or "spending a penny".

Understanding another generations fashion is never easy.
