Fashion advice from DS - do you agree!

Take no notice of your DS. I've just dug my hoodie out to see what brand it is (it came from sports direct) and its a Title (whatever that is), but I'd wear a Lonsdale no problems and I am definitely not a chav although I think my trainers are Lonsdale and soooooo comfy (I call them my chav trainers :rotfl: )

Think of it as dual purpose: keeps you warm and embarrasses your teen. Can't get better than that. :j

My kids would love me to wear hoodies...it's the in thing here and not for chavs-they wear tracksuits or low slung jeans and tracksuit tops

It wouldn't be my choice of hoodies. I dislike large logos, and that particular one as huge (personal choice though). It will be fine for lounging, and around the garden.

I've bought 2 hoodies recently from sports direct, one black with no logo (my favourite), and one (charcoal/pink) with a small logo that I wear around the house.

A pashmina is your best bet, I dont usually wear one, but always have one stashed away for long and short haul travel. I get really cold on planes, and so it is great to use it as a blanket....I would def have a cardi / hoodie on too!
Im afraid Lonsdale is pretty naff though, and as a fashion buyer would always recommend something that you will wear long past your return from holidays, for that cost per wear calculation! Gap is a good bet for a plain basic that will last for ages. Mind you if you plan to wear your lonsdale top on your return, then thats your style, so just go for it.

Dont buy clothes from a sports shop unless your doing sports and most of all dont wear trainers unless your doing sports, espcially not with jeans:)

Lonsdale is a boxing make and boxing is generally a bit of a chavy sport which might be where he has got that from x

I live in hoodies and trainers:eek:

Chav is an attitude, not a style of dress. IMO

I also wear jeans and trainers and the most sport I do is chucking a few darts occasionally

My OH bought me my first hoodie at Christmas, with a big cod on it, advertising https://www.fishfight.net (Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's anti-fish discards campaign). It's about three sizes too big and drowns me Ideal thing for schlepping round the supermarket - hoodie so chavvy enough not to stand out but not advertising a sports brand.
