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.

I've never been much for super-graphic clothes - I prefer plain colours or softer/simpler patterns. That said, bright colours and big, simple patterns (think wide stripes) are very fun, so if those become popular, I'll be pleased. When I was in Rome this spring, I saw a lot of black and white stripes, which looked extremely cool - that's something that I would be happy to see more of in the fashion world.

All of this. I have next to nothing when it comes to graphic clothes, and if there is something, ten times out of ten, it's a simple graphic tee that I bought for work. And I love wide stripes, but I've been told they don't help my looks, but whatever. They're pretty. ♥

While the collar does make me think wtf, whenever I think of 90's, my mind always goes to the television shows, so.....

I love belted coats. And they are helpful; despite the fact that it's been a high 20 degrees here in Ontario. I still wear them with pride.
