The Fashions of Liverpool.....boys

I have to say, as a resident of Liverpool, and also a frequent visitor to Dublin, the Liverpool lads have it hands down on the fashion front. Our boys are not afraid to keep up with the latest looks, and they really do. If you go out in Liverpool on a saturday night you will see all kinds of looks that the boys are going for. The big trends seem to be preppy, vintage/retro looks at the moment, and the boys even take this down to accessories. They're not afraid to rock a pair of retro specs or a bow tie to enhance their looks. Trainers are a big part of their fashion choices too, be it Vans, Converse, Nike High Tops, and the more you own the merrier -they are nearly as bad as us girls. Most have definitely stepped out of the 'shirt and jeans' combo that seemed to be the staple mens 'going out uniform' for years. Of course there are still the ones who do go for the shirt and jeans, or a polo and jeans. These are often the ones who also dont really have a hair style. the boys who's hair is just there. Length ranging from a #1 at the barber, circa 1990 scouse; to an inch, brushed forward. This will often be accompanied by a curb chain around the neck or wrist. The trendy types, though, will always keep up with the latest celeb and even catwalk trends. The latest role models seem to be David Beckham, Gary Barlow, (good taste boys), and the lads from TOWIE randomly enough! Often you will find there is a bit of friendly banter to be found between the shirt brigade and the fashion fronters, the shirt brigade will say the fashion fronters look gay, they arent, theyre simply moving forward with the times and following trends, it looks great and long may it continue!
Some of our boys, like the girls, are of the opinion it is essential to be tanned, so you will find them at the sunbed salon. They are also not afraid of a bit of male grooming, and its not uncommon for them to get their brows tidied as much as the girls. Not scouse brows, but no monobrows in sight either, which surely is a good thing?

I mentioned Dublin at the start of this entry. What a difference over there. The boys there, as lovely as they are, do fall into the shirt brigade catgory mostly. This doesnt mean they arent looking good, but it would be rare to go out and see the boys wearing specs and bow ties over there purely for the purposes of fashion.  The shoe collection will be trainers, for the gym. Shoes, 1 black pair, 1 brown pair, for going out/more formal occasions. And probably a pair of casual pumps.trainers for the weekend. I have to admit I dont claim to be a complete expert here, my Dublin experience is based on what I've seen there so far. And there is this to back up my theory.....(sorry guys).....

So there you have it, in summary, Liverpool lads wear it well....
