Does anyone not follow fashion?

[metimeisforwimps]

I really like clothes, and make an effort to look nice, but I don't follow fashion at all, just wear things I like. I may be accidentally in fashion now and again
Is anyone else the same, or am I completely out on a limb here?

I mostly get things second hand so not too influenced by what's in shops (well maybe I am but a few seasons later!)

I don't follow fashion at all. Anything I buy is fairly classic, I make a lot of stuff and still wear stuff I bought 20 years ago. If I am not in a thrown together affair or home made number I can be found in shorts/walking trousers and a t shirt of either long or short sleeved variety!

Mixing and matching can avoid being fashionable. I wouldn't actually know what is in fashion, and don't really care.

That's how I feel. I like what I like, occasionally fashion comes back round to me

Not just me then Catherine! I also make things, or often buy things and alter them to my taste. I also have had some things for a very long time, and still love them.

I don't. I have been said to jump into my chest of drawers and out again

I am almost permanently in rock concert tee-shirts, jeans and trainers. I may go a bit more smart-casual on the rare occasion, but it is very rare. I really don't like the vast majority of stuff in the shops these days, so I stick to the biker/rock/Alchemy-type clothes as I like the style better.

Me too OP, I bought a lovely dress in a charity shop last week, new with tags from Mint Velvet - tag said £129 and I paid £5!

God knows how old it is but I care not. I hate shopping, rarely go shopping, easier for me to buy fabric and make something.

What is fashion anyway? I would rather wear something that suits me/I actually like ..... and because I am tight I either made or bought cheaply!

Having said that I probably only buy 6-8 things a year.

The people I really notice when out and about are people with a unique style. I remember last year in the park seeing an oldish lady in a lovely seersucker handmade sundress, she looked like she was from a different era and such a refreshing change from the standard slacks and blouse.

Charity shops are the bees knees!

I don't follow fashion, I hate following the crowd. I just wear what I like, but if I buy stuff that's new then it 's probably going to be in fashion to a certain extent.

I don't think 'oh cold shoulder tops are in this season I must go out and buy one'.

Those kinds of clothes get dated really quickly, and I would want to have the option of wearing it in a few years time.

Fashions just exist to make more money out of people so that you have to keep buying new clothes

I wear what I like, no way I would follow fashion, dont want to look like a clone or wear clothes that dont suit me, just to be 'in fashion'. Charity shops are indeed the bees knees! Not just clothes, but lots of brilliant books.

No I follow my own style which I like to think is quite classic. So fairly uninterested in the latest fad.
Cba even knowing or caring what's 'in' now, if I like it I buy it.
But I wouldn't wear something that was obviously dated and 'definately' out either. There's a difference.

I look around me and say most people don't adhere to fashion. There are wide age based genres that people adhere to. .. to my mind fashion either introduces new ideas that seep in to every day wear or reinvigorates old ideas.

I don't. It's hard enough to find anything to fit, let alone hope it is in fashion too. I wear what I can.

I do and I don't. I keep an eye on what's coming in, and if I like it and it works for me I get excited and buy lots. But I won't wear something that doesn't suit me or that isn't comfortable or vaguely practical just because it's current.

But isn't not following fashion still following fashion though... Even if you aren't following the current fashion trends, you are still following with the people who don't 'follow' fashion!

I must admit , I wear what I want when I want, and I don't go out to really buy something in fashion, you just look round and you can see the odd piece hanging up, we have a market once a month, and a lady comes and starts at a fiver, and she makes some very nice clothes.
Glad I am not the only one.

Not really mummy.

Not really some in fashion things like awful on me.
Cropped tops are a no go.

I don't follow fashion. It just seems so... 'obedient' to me to buy things that are fashionable that season. I make my own clothes and buy from ebay and charity shops.

notamummy, I suppose that would be the case if you were aware what's in fashion, like the young folk and their alternative styles. I was like that when I was younger, purposely rebelling against the norm, but now it's less contrived, so I don't mind if I do look fashionable, if it suits me. But, for example, I would never wear skinny jeans, they would look dreadful on me! I really like the current ankle skimmers though, I think they are really flattering a summery.

Ebay also a great resource, I love browsing vintage dresses and things on there.

No, I like a bit of fashion. Not all of it but I enjoy picking out the bits that suit me and working out how to wear new stuff. Plus even if something suits me, I get bored with it after a while and want to move on. Plus I like looking back at old photos and laughing at myself. It's not meant to be serious.

I don't. I love clothes - looking at them, thinking about them, touching them etc, but I wear what I like. I'm little and norky and hour-glass-ish, so 'fashion'stuff doesn't tend to be designed for me anyway. I like skinnies, dresses, and full skirts with fitted tops on me, regardless of whether they are in fashion or not.

I don't. I'm 5'1 with big tits. There's no point.

If you've got big boobs fashion isn't really made for your body shape so you need to find your own style otherwise you just look ridiculous!
