            **"…Google shows that the bomber jacket is the biggest trend of this year. Searches for “bomber jacket” have grown by over 500% since 2015, spiking last summer and sustaining since then...

            Results also point to the fact that athleisure is a substantial trend. Google notes a growing proclivity towards utilitarian clothing, as searches for “windbreaker jacket” and “waterproof jacket” grew by over 100% and over 300% respectively. Whereas the “flannel shirt” and “denim shirt” are on the decline, queries for “sweatshirt” grew by over 500% over the last year; searches for polo shirts and white T-shirts have increased concomitantly. Meanwhile, searches for “ripped jeans” and “ripped black jeans” have seen an unsurprising rise. People are searching less for “drop-crotch pants” and “acid-wash jeans,” yet “white jeans,” “cargo pants,” and “linen pants” are all on the up and up."**

              Ha I wish!  😉 Apparently a storm in Hamburg earlier in the day and only one Euro Wings plane doing the HAM- LHR route all day long were the reasons…

                    This is so true.  I was at the mall this weekend and noticed GAP and Zara had mannequins with black and navy blue bombers on…

                        it's everywhere. i work in h&m and you see heaps of new stock come in for them in both ladies and men.

                          Yup. No fucks given. Although I occssionally walk into contempary menswear stores out of sheer perversity.  After two minutes of fingering the goods I leave with a little sick in my mouth, feeling defiled. The good thing is that seeing how much they charge for poorly produced, badly designed, occssionally downright god-awful clothing, makes my own clothing habit seem less like a raging addiction and more like a well orchestrated plan.

                              When it comes to the likes of Dies*% it's more like garments for terminally braindead, perpetually adolescent shitbirds. Which I suppose amounts to the same thing.

                                  In absolute honesty, I have no issue with most high street stores as long as people do shop with their eyes open and have a bit of awareness about what they are buying. I simply don't follow trends.
