Your clothes frustrations at the moment

[Cloud]

I still like really baggy clothing but guys my age tend to wear very trim looking stuff. I often get accused of looking a bit "In Da Hood" and dressing too young for my age. Aside from this I still have an attraction to technical clothing, especially in winter. Before anyone calls me a chav, I was wearing Berghaus coats yonks before chavs were invented. I switched to North Face a couple of years back but they dont last like a Berghaus. I've still got a coat which is 15 years old. SO.. no frustrations in the jacket department, getting a bit stuck on T shirts as they are all bike or surf related, would rather have the same quality cotton with a plain no logo design. Jeans are doing my head in a bit as I don't like those stupid trendy ones with either writing or pockets where there shouldnt be and still like the slightly flared variety really baggy. I don't own a single shirt or trousers. I have one polo shirt which I put on if going out for a meal. I probably sound like a scruff but I'm very neat.

I am kinda stuck in the scater type gear but I've always worn baggy loose clothes. It's kinda weird how nothing has changed in my style of dress for twenty years.

Umm shit I'm having some sort of clothing frustrations now ths

How hard can it be to find some nice, bright, unpadded, colourful bras? and knickers with sensible gussets to match?
I give up. Am going back to my baggy grey ones.

I found some nice, colourful bras in TKMaxx recently - the ones I got were padded - but they had plenty of posh unpadded ones too, which I really liked the look of (but as usual unpadded bras never sit right on me).

All the knickers were far too flimsy for me though .

Ah. Isn't there a tkmxx in clapham junction? might have a look.
I bought some boy shorts from uniqlo yesterday and they have a pleasingy sensible gusset Lots of nice pattterns and colours too

Uniqlo is the fookin daddy. The clothes in H&M, topman, Burton all for the same price are absoloutely crap and feel like awful suffocating material. Uniqlo feels top notch. I don't know how much it shrinks though. TK Maxx is shite. I have been to TK Maxx stores all over London (about 7 of them) and never found anything decent. That includes looking for jeans, jackets, knitwear, and other stuff.

Grrr...no reply so I have just penned 2 more letters that I'm sending registered post later..

I was vexed that a dress I bought ripped on NYE. After 2 letters, the second being sent registered post I received a reply and a new dress. It's not the one that ripped but one from their new range and looks alright.

Dilema is now they want the other dress back in order to investigate but I managed to get it repaired...hhmm

A jacket like the one I own and wear to work almost every day. You would have thought that one of the many, many suit shops in Canary Wharf would have one, but no. They're either all the top halves of suits or some tweedy nonsense. I just want a straightforward jacket.

I really want a brightly coloured denim skirt, like a bright purple one or a red one.

A bit longer than mini. Can't find anything online, Hennes is probably the best place...but I'll end up buying loads if I go in there.

I found some jeans at the weekend (this has been my frustration for a while now) - in M&S of all places - the Per Una range. Got a pair of black fade washed ones, tried on a fabulous pair of blue boot cut ones but the shop only had them in my size and long and the website doesn't seem to have them at all!!! Life is so unfair!!

Need a decent pair of Hi Top trainers with a full proper cross strap. Bought a pair, my first pair with a strap, about two years ago and have worn them into the ground (holes in both soles). Bought a bodge temporary pair (hi top's with no strap), but even the guy in the shop was like - we haven't seen any of those in months with a proper strap. He said try online, but I don't like buying trainers online. It doesn't have the same feel (plus the other downsides). The straps just give you much more lateral support.
