 HH need to get Kylie on board. Agent Provocateur meets polypro - what's not to like
|

Maybe they have borrowed the Paramo designer - the know, the colour consultant that we have long suspected is on acid?

NPC - I am sure you could carry it off like one of the stage models who can wear awful "designs" and still look good. Of course, I thought all women liked flowers. I'll never understand what you all like. I guess the designers feel the same. Of course it could be that they are not aimed at the fashion conscious. I also think that the mens version is a classic case of the "put different colour sleeves on to make it look casual" design ethos. I mean, who wears a t-shirt on the streets with a different shade of blue for the sleeves from the body. Another thing all the t-shirts that do lok good are all in cotton, why not take the design of the cotton t-shirts and make it work on the t-shirts that actually work for the hills. You have to admit that they have finally started to look at producing tops without the classic strips down the sleeves. I bet that looked like a big step for them to make, must have big decision form someone at Helly Hansen that was.

I thought all men liked golf clubs patterns on shirts. I'll never understand what you all like. I guess the designers feel the same.

Waiting to join Trumps golf club as well. Got my diamond patterned jumper and single glove from Haglofs too. Although I find my TNF plusfours inappropriate for use in the mountains these days. Having said that I do want some shoes with spikes on the solesmade by Icebug.

Hmmmm. Fashion-conscious? Well, floral frocks are quite big this summer in the fashion mags ....BUT we rufty-tufty mud-on-our-little-noses outdoor types are unlikely to go in for florals while digging a toilet pit on the hill...or is that just me?
Point 2: What we all like? Are 50% of the world's population so shallow that we all like the same pattern?  After all, all men have the same inside leg length, don't you?

NPC - A little piece of advice. Don't try to dig a toilet pit with your nose. Try a cheap plastic trowel works better and keeps your nose looking as good as I am sure it usually looks when not in rufty tufty outdoors girl mode.
Yeah we do have the same inside leg, Extra Long 34-36". Ain't that right guys. At least it must be the case as the shops are always out of this size inner leg when I go to buy outdoors trousers. The other sizes are always there, very slow moving stock.

 > Agent Provocateur meets polypro - what's not to like The smell...? I think that print, in skimpy brief or boy shorts would work okay... especially if modelled by Kylie...

Did I mention 'shallow'?  < you
< me

I dunno Capt'n, there's a market for evewrything out there

 "Are 50% of the world's population so shallow that we all like the same pattern?" yep. until you change your mind, then no. "After all, all men have the same inside leg length, don't you?" yep. the wrong one. we were told about this if only we were listening. the top looks good although it could be a bit more pink though. it's in danger of clashing with my eyes.

 it's missing the little pearly buttons detail down the middle, and the scratchy 5mm of lace round the neck. otherwise, fine, i'd say.
|
|
Peplum, you forgot the peplum.
|
|
Now I know I am not in touch with my feminine side as I don't have the foggiest what peplum is. Is that somehing the older posters might know about NPC? What is wrong with it, it is fitted with plenty of stretch, what else do you need?

> Peplum I believe the modern argot is 'pussy pelmet'...

Not quite...a peplum has a skirt under it and a pussy pelmet has just a ladygarden under it. It's a waist-height frill
|
|
Good for hiding a belly then?
|
|
Oh, I dunno. It could make the general silhouette look even wider at that point! <glares at TTG for suggesting one needs to be 'old' to know what one is> . <thumps fist on table> Equality for all! Peplums should be available on men's clothing! - "it hides your belly!!" claims TTG, well-known outdoor gear expert and fashion consultant. <walks off, imagining TTG in a peplum>
