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 completely agree with you on the gray on gray trend: it's very bland. I think that even Draco or Blaise, while they would rock that look, would choose to add at least a splash of color in a pocket square or undershirt or even just a tie. If the entire outfit is just one color, it's very bland, and even the most fashionable and high-class people like to make a statement, even if it's just a bright yellow accent or a cold broach or something.

Exactly! The outfit in that picture would never turn my head or make me think this guy is important. Granted, that could also have something to do with the fact that he's wearing hobo gloves with a suit, but I digress :P
