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.

As someone once said to me, "If you did the trend the first time around you don't get to go there the second."

Wise words to live by. XD I keep looking at the 90s and thinking no, just no-- I know there are some 90s things that have probably still carried over to my fashion sense these days but probably in subtler and less pronounced ways than the example shown, and that's okay. I just don't like the grunge look as much, and there's something off-putting about a trend where you're putting effort in a look that looks like you didn't put effort into it.

lol, yesssss. I remember when the ripped up jeans first became super cool and my mom would always be like 'I can rip up some jeans like that! And for a lot less than $200!" Which is kind of how I still feel about a lot of the grunge look tbh.
