Re: The famous Boom Years Ivy trouser taper
Chums,,
Top shelf thread, ol sports. Perchance a group wager/prediction?
1. How long until the bloggeratti ditch their peg legged Tom Browne look?
2. What will the next "cool" look be?
a - bell bottoms? Seemed to follow the late 60s peg leg trend, no?
b - full break ala Alan Flusser?
c - baggies ala Fedora Lounge or 1980s?
Cheerio,,

Re: The famous Boom Years Ivy trouser taper
Ivy is never cool. Ivy is Ivy, short pegged legs or full cut. That's the beauty of it.

Re: The famous Boom Years Ivy trouser taper
What are you doing moonlighting on another forum Leer? Don't you love us? Don't we fulfill you?
What I see on style fora and blogs is usually far from anything I ever see in an everyday context. More micro-trends than trends.
And I think the older I get the wider my trouser legs will get... to a degree. I may start experimenting with cuffs too. You need to have things to look forward to in life.

I'm in line with Woolster. I can appreciate and love full cut and drape and the elegance that such a look can exude. But me and elegance don't mix. We're worlds apart.

Re: The famous Boom Years Ivy trouser taper
I love some trim clean trousers with no break, but the Thom Browne stuff sends me into a fit of rage.

Re: The famous Boom Years Ivy trouser taper
Also worth noting is that the slimmer cut of the 60s was not that skinny either by today's standards. Sure you had 7" bottoms on a pair sta-prest, but none of my suits (size 37 -38) have cuffs narrower than 8 inches. Most, I think, are 8,5".

Re: The famous Boom Years Ivy trouser taper
I'm just saying the state of modern music is almost completely analogous to your statement:
"It's been all in the mix since then, a flux of different trends constantly stressing certain nuances, fetishizing certain features and exaggerating them to a point of no return until the next trend is on the way..."
And maybe I'm just biased, but I think most of us on here do our own thing, have our own "style". I don't see any obvious trend followers. We're the trend setters, baby!
