I still wouldn't call them 'trends'. They're all pretty classic, universal things that people have been wearing casually for years. They're not dated, but they're not 'trends' either, really; they're basics. I've had oversized checked and denim shirts like that in my wardrobe pretty much constantly since the 1990s, and I think I've owned cargo pants of one kind or another since then too. Also baseball tops and long-sleeve t-shirts, and certainly Adidas trainers.

There's nothing wrong with these clothes. They sound great. Just not 'trends' as such. Style, yes. Trend, no.

Show quote history

They are current trend's because of the styling, no way were ballet flats worn with baggy pants years ago

Almost
the sleeves on the rugby shirt and baseball shirt must be slightly wider at the cuff and in fact have no cuff.

adidas trainers have had their day - out.

I think they're still hanging in there

Bloody heck, last time I had a rugby shirt it had a button cuff.

All those things sound perfectly nice, my understanding is that Cargo Trousers are back in again. I don't like ballet flats but you can get slightly chunkier shoes with the same aesthetic. The problem with rugby shirts is that they tend to be too long to wear with higher waisted wide trousers. I bought two very lovely ones from Beaufort and Blake but had to pay £20 each for them to be shortened.
