I also agree floral prints should be approached with extreme caution. As of now, they seem to be seeping slowly into the more upscale Euro designers and will, as you say, probably never fully make it over to the States in a huge way. Although the 70s resurgence is undeniable in the style world at large, so if you've got a very strong inner dandy I say take advantage of it. But I concur with you, sir, this is not a trend to go crazy with by any means nor is it for everyone.Blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13725606568890507062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-276999886101145464.post-74841663465718810942011-06-27T14:35:00.681-05:002011-06-27T14:35:00.681-05:00I have noticed that many of my shirts that I get f...I have noticed that many of my shirts that I get from Manchester have that floral patter on the inside of the sleeves, revealed only when I have them cuffed and rolled. I suppose the next logical step is to bring it to the outside. I wonder if the identically styled (and material) ties will come back too. You know the ones that you could never tell if someone was actually wearing a tie or not, unless the tie moved.The Historian of Sciencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01257349986482738809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-276999886101145464.post-42988382200503603792011-06-27T13:51:02.452-05:002011-06-27T13:51:02.452-05:00In my many trips to the Europe across several year...In my many trips to the Europe across several years I've learned two things. London is not representative of the UK(and the UK not representative of Europe) in terms of fashion on the ground. Two, European fashions pass throw the UK filter before reaching the US and some don't make the cut. I've kept a close eye on ASOS and Topman for many years now. I'd bet a top dollar outside of designer parties, Greenwich village, and the adventurous stylist as yourself floral prints won't spark that strong here in the US. I'm very partial to European styling versus American. However, advising your readers to frontline that trend might be setting them up for a cross culture nose dive. European men will take a tram one block away to go eat lunch because their shoes are so uncomfortable but good looking(and complain the whole time even when you ask them to stop and offer to buy their expresso if they stop!). I don't see that resolve in American(or Southern American) men. I'll be interested to see if that 70's trend breaks the UK wall(cities outside London, because London just like Dublin are Continental transplants when it comes to fashion and pop culture.) And then if it can actually break the US mainstream wall.Jarröthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16259101247994032083noreply@blogger.com
