Urban chic has taken a new and awkward step I must say. I saw this in the paper a few weeks ago and thought to myself, there’s no way anyone with any self respect in this big money town would dress like this. But strolling along 5th Ave daily, I must admit I was terribly, terribly wrong.
I’m speaking of course about dressing like farmers. Apparently it’s hip for the ladies to wear high rise jean shorts and plaid shirts with kitschy little sneakers. I saw a guy with a plaid shirt, nuthugger jeans cuffed like capris and the same kitschy little sneakers. I’m going to assume he was gay cuz of his mannerisms, but the same sneakers thing was kinda awkward.
It doesn’t make any sense to me. I doubt these people would even have a balcony ‘garden’ let alone tend to fields from dawn til dusk daily, with the onliest reward being the ability to feed one’s family for free. I love how the trend setters can take mundane everyday items and turn them into the hottest new fashions. I guess after the swing kids movement and the urban cowboy shit, city bumpkins is the logical evolution. I guess I just don’t care about fashion enough.
I just can’t wait for us to make the Seinfeldian transition to the single piece silver jumpsuit with the big vee on it and matching boots. It’ll be like Mork + Mindy were the only ones who got the ‘future’ right. But with all the coke Robin Williams was doing, I’m not surprised he could see into the future. I only hope that everyone need not wear his same sweater on a daily basis.
