Bad Fashion

 

On Friday, my wife, Celia, and her friend Suzy went shopping in London.

Celia went with the intention of buying a suit, a skirt for work and a mac. After a whole day's searching except for coffee and snack breaks, she managed to buy just two jumpers from Zara. Suzy bought just one shirt.

Either she couldn't find anything she liked or it just didn't fit.

Now you might say that Celia is an odd shape. Perhaps she is as she is a size 10 and has a real waist. She also prefers trousers and skirts to fit there, which is supposed to be this year's fashion! She did find a pair of beige trousers in Jaeger, but the assistant said that despite the fact that everybody wanted them in black or grey, there had been none in a more practical colour.

Oh dear!

So why are designers and shops so out of touch with what people want to wear?
