an urban outfitters’ reality check
August 12, 2010 in fashion
Something happened today that made me realise I am getting old. No, it’s not my birthday. I didn’t find a grey hair. This revelation is entirely sartorial.
Urban Outfitters – that youthful store that I previously thought it was fine for me to shop at – has decided that everyone in their mid-20s and older needs a reality check. We are no longer young and apparently the fashion we wore as teenagers is due for a revival.
That’s right. Urban Outfitters sent me into a quarter-life crisis by declaring the 90s are back. Their twitter feed definitely isn’t helping, with hot young things joking about the things I considered the height of fashion (overalls, scrunchies, Doc Martins, bike pants….)
I remember reading that if you wore it the first time around, you’re too old to wear it when it comes back into fashion. So, Urban Outfitters, I will be sitting your latest collection out. If you’re young and hip enough for this to be your first foray into 90s fashion, check it out here.
