    Do you suffer from trendfear?

    BBC News - Trendfear: Do you ever feel you're being left behind?

    Do you suffer?

    Personally I worry when something I do becomes too trendy then I like to move on. I am an individual.

    So am I.

    All together now, we are all individuals!

      Half the trends around these days are well ghastly, it's like these people who only wear labels like G-Star Raw they make me chuckle. I prefer to be individual that way you don't end up out in a club and five or six guys walk past wearing the same top/shirt you have on.

        I don't like clothing that has stuff written on it.

            I was throwing out old clothes and rediscovered some shirts from the 90's which I hadn't worn very much and were in good nick. They look really cool, because they look somehow different....one could say trendy.
            I'm alright Jack

                  A couple of years ago I would have agreed but I happen to like some of the GStar stuff that I can't get anywhere else. Being buff I can get away with a well fitted tight tee and there are not many decent quality stretchy tees out there. I certainly wouldn't buy one with it written all down the front like the Henley lot but nothing wrong with the brand.

                  If I am going clubbing then yes I agree but for everyday wear it is ok stuff for the money. Same could be said for SuperDry but they do some ok stuff as well..

                  Unfortuantely trying to dress as an individual in a country of 60 million is no mean feat

                    I find exactly the same. We're obviously way ahead of the curve, and it's quite tiresome when all the so called trendsetters finally catch up.
