Zebra leggings and butterfly wellingtons. I got butterflies in my tummy!

We start the new TrendGiveAfuck Street Walk with this prime example of what we are looking for (but all we take photos of are special to us in a way we’ll explain). We want more male TrendGiveAfuckers like you, Rolf! (Y)

Lazy leggings30 Aug 2009

When leggings hit the streets some years ago it spread like a plauge among young females. They’re comfy, cheap and easy to mix with your outfit. And it’s not like back in the fun days when you’d see them in every colour of the rainbow and patterns that created visual illusions. No, except for the 80’s revival fan base dressed in gold and neon, girls will faithfully stick to  black with a fling with grey or white every now and then.

As long as they wore their leggings paired with skirts, dresses, babydoll tops or over sized t-shirts everything was just fine. Sure it wasn’t sexy but at least they looked decent. But here’s the issue; girls are lazy. And lazy girls come up with trends that fit their lazyness. Why try layers when all you need is a pair of leggings and a top? So what we have now is girls running around showing their bums in public, just because they can get away with it. Lazy girls, why didn’t you stick to your sweat pants? Those were sweet as hell. Hopefully we’ll see a recess on the leggings with the approaching temperature drop.

Stockholm! Show us your inner beauty!29 Aug 2009

We at TrendGiveAfuck want all people to dress a little lively, share some more colour than the standard black and white clothes Swedish people tend to be wearing. We want everyone to be a little more creative and combine more styles – to be a collage of what YOU think and feel today. That is one of the reasons to why we sometimes (or often) dress in an extreme fashion. If we dress a lot worse, it won’t be a huge step for everyone else to just add some funny bits to their clothing – you’ll never be as crazy as us

Today, I and Delicious were out photographing people on the streets for a new part of TrendGiveAfuck.com. We want to capture all of you who dress independently from the current trends, who have thought a little bit extra this morning, or just show a huge amount of charm in your appearance. Every day, you will see a new face on this blog, and perhaps a comment to why we thought he or she was worth having his/her photo taken.

We must say, though, that we were a bit disappointed in how hard it was to find these jems of the streets! C’mon, Stockholm! Life is not black&white, it’s as colourful as your breakfast cereal (uhm.. if you have M&M’s for breakfast, that is). Brighten up your day and everyone else’s by adding something extra to your exterior!

We’ll love you for it!
