A couple of times lately I have seen people with trousers with cuffs, like the kind of cuff you get on a sweatshirt, you know? I think I saw them in the Guardian fashion thingie, and I deffo saw them on a bloke on the street.

Are these in fashion?

NQC, have you been wandering about Soho coz I've seen them too!? It is indeedy a fashion thing for them youngsters, they seem to wear them wandering about near London College of Fashion. And they sell them in american apparell too (but they are more like proper 80s jogging bottoms). It's that Nu Rave look, innit.

No, not Soho, much hipper places . Seriously, I bike through Hoxton etc pretty often.

I quite liked the short ones I saw, they were just below the knee. They looked really comfortable.

Hoxton eh? And the 'ditch? Yes, they are all lurking about round there too...damn fashionable youngsters making me feel old and crusty, ha ha ha! I have a pair from sweaty betty in black that are super comfy (but I don't wear them very often because I am afraid of looking like a victim, or like some old lady trying to be hip). Try american apparell, my friend has some from there in purple and some in green (I think) and they look really good on her. Just don't mix them with one of those Katherine Hamnett slogan t-shirts and a few flouro strawberry necklace!!!!
