The end of the homeless look... I hope?

[Matt Deckard]

With the economic downturn I think people are heading away from the mad max scavenger look in ruddy jeans and worn out coats and going for the glamour of being wealthy. Maybe I just notice because all my post grunge era friends are starting to snazz up... yet What do you think?

Is the homeless look hitting the skids?

I certainly hope it's hitting the skids.

By the way, was the sort-of pun "hitting the skid(row)s" intentional?

I don't know... The guy living across the street rocks the homeless look pretty constantly.

It's always intentional.

I do not wish an end to anything. Things will evolve, the social concepts regarding clothes and how to wear them evolve, and rightly so. All I hope is that more people could find their own true way of wearing what they wish to wear, without being judged for it, without being forced to it by peer pressure or opinions by others.

Esthetically pleasing is always pleasant, but my esthetically pleasing is different from my son's. I also see his point of view.

Yet there are ends to everything... and sometimes rebirths.

Well said. Tollerance and compassion in one package -

Also, not a chance that the 'homeless' look is fading out. Equally amusing is the 'jeans going out of fashion' thread on here. Get real. lol

I sure...

...don't see it.

Everyone I see is as fat and sloppy as ever.

You want to know where mainstream fashion will be here in england in two years time (or in the US in about five - that seems to be about the difference in the cycle in my observation)? Look at what the gay community are wearing out clubbing now. More effort gonig into dressing up there again now, though the 'I spent three hours trying to look this unkempt' approach is still in evidence rather strongly there too. My feeling from observing gay friends who are on the scene is that they're edging towards a smarter but still very much casual style.

I think there is a large misconception in society that evolution is inherently better. A comparison of golden era clothing to present day clothing is proof that evolution is not always better.

i prefer the look of true homeless people to the slobs around here. the real homeless aesthetic has a certain usefulness to it opposed to sweatpants and uggs. hell plenty of homeless guys wear suits at least.

That is SO true! The "thinking" you describe so well has far reaching consequences and drives me crazy. Another possible misconception (less widespread, but still problematic) is that everything was better in the past.

Either way, let's try to be tolerant of the tastes and stylistic proclivities of others. Diversity is not a threat.

The view is the same here. What, if anything, will change this?

The only problem is that I have to look at it though. lol
