Activity: Fashion Trends - a discussion
Points: initial comment: 10 points, 2pts per additional comment
Deadline: May 15th, 21:00 UTC
Details: Every summer we have new fashion trends but do you like them? What would you change?
And do you think the Harry Potter characters would wear them?

So let's have a little debate. It's about fashion and I know that I love to talk about what models have been wearing on the runway (and well, when watching Germany's next topmodel I also laugh about the "models")
Anyways, like every summer there are some must-wears - at least that's what Fashion magazines tell us. But what do you think about these must-wears? Do you like them? Hate them? And would Hermione, Ron, Draco or Snape wear them? I googled some of the trends and posted the pictures so you have an idea what to talk about.

Unfortunately, I also feel sometimes it veers off into hipster territory. To me, wearing something nostalgic should be because you appreciate the nostalgia of it, not because you want to look "cool" or "cutting edge'.

Yes, I agree so much with this... Although it's cool that when you like something, it becomes cool and nobody bugs you for wearing it anymore haha (see: my tye and dye Jim Morrison t-shirt I inherited from my mum, haha).

Grey on Grey - Hate it. I love grey, mind you, but you need something to break the monotony of it. A splash of color does wonders.

Grey on Grey + black + neon yellow would actually be my first choice. That looks absolutely kickass.
