Once again it seems I have been a bit slack in my approach to choosing a subject for my next project and it has been left to my dear tutor to give me a metaphorical kick up the arse and rightly so. My original intention was to create an A-Z of men's trends, in particular ones that I felt were idiotic and needed to be ridiculed. Another option which has popped into my head is that of an A-Z of videogames which have influenced me, and I do have a huge passion for these games, growing up with a Nintendo 64 for example. So I'm going to create a list as follows of the trends and games that pop into my head.
Men's Trends:
A - American Apparel/Anything from American Apparel/All Saints jumpers
B - Bow ties in non formal situations
C - Crucifixes
D - Drop crotch trousers
E - Elasticated cuffs
F - Fat people in skinny jeans
G - Gold coloured items
H - Hoodie strings tied together
I - I went to this school/on this holiday 'insert date'
J - 'Jesus Loves You' Belts/ Jumpers with no t-shirt
K - Keeping sunglasses on inside
L - Low cut t-shirts/low slung trousers
M - Making your own weird clothes
N - New Era Caps
O - Ornate Jewellery
P - Polo Shirt collars turned up
Q - Questionable choice of bags/satchel
R - Running shoes as casual footwear
S - Shirts hanging out
T - Trousers tucked into boots
U - University hoodies/team clothing
V - Vests only/Vests over other clothes
W - Wearing clothes not befitting your age
X - XXX rated t-shirt designs
Y - You wear brown shoes with a black/grey suit/casual shoes with a suit
Z - Zoological designs
