Come on Shane, we've got to talk about something other than Levine, or pressings. I thought he made some salient points.

Where did anyone say have to? Lighten up

Spot on! Top post Brian

Nah, it's not.

There is a guy at Plinston, I forget his name (Big O could tell us), he sells baseball caps and polo shirts, and the last time I was there he had on the most outrageous pair or flared jeans I'd seen for some time. Don't see quite so much of that sort of thing these days.

Don't know about the strides, but check out Loakes retail outlet; >Cool Edges<

I think the practicalities of the female dark trouser wearer are just and if I were a bird, I'd probably be the same. It's a shame though as the full skirt and indeed all skirts (on women) are far more feminine than trousers.

Non soulies are armed with more info than we may think thanks to the good folk at Sainsburys, Woolworths, Tesco's, KFC, Volvo, Persil etc etc.

They'll wanna hear the Right Track It could end in tears

As previously stated, I'm a black top, jeans and brogues type and I'm with you on the individuality thing. Regarding the spotting of soul & non soul punters - as above, the shoes, always check out the shoes

NS Attire

I want one

i think I got that line wrong,sure it's "you're a fine pretty woman anyone can plainly see.." All you say is true. Point I'm not getting across too well is that, for example in the mid seventies soulies were identifiable to some degree by what they wore there was some semblance of a dress code and now there is none.
-
Rare to go out socially to something that isn't soul related unless it's family of course. Dave make's some good points above about there still being some smartly attired individuals (himself included ). But what is the modern day equivalent of the string vest, or the patent leather shoe? I don't mean there should necessarily be any such uniformity these days, it's just that it seems to have slipped away without anyone noticing.
-
No, can't argue with that Karen And you're a fine pretty woman, any man can plainly see
-
Yes deffo. Croydon Cliff can talk solidly for twenty minutes about his dockers pants and always sports an expensive brogue. Great thing about NS scene has always been the wear what you like policy. But by and large that has gone from the flamboyant dungarees and lamb chop side burns, to the mediocre short sleeved shirt, jeans and leather shoes. Infact I'm gonna count those dress types on Saturday night and add those stats to this thread. I'll be wearing something outrageous BTW.
-
No, just the shoes

Nice Loakes brogue mate Smoothe sole for a smoothe soul
-
Hmmm, maybe an edit needed if first post is not clear. Is meant to spell out that people used to dress up a bit, uniform etc and now that has totally gone.
-
That sounds sensible (apart from the cider spills ) Would anyone concede at least that there was a sort of clothing fashion on the NS scene? What about jogging bottoms and moccasins in the eighties, lol. With white socks!
