Have you noticed how many females wear black leggings, Manly beach at 6am this morning was definitely looking like a procession of drabness, which for all accounts seemed totally in contrast to the surroundings and weather.
Why is it that we want to wear exactly the same as the people we are hanging out with, does it in some way make us feel more comfortable or acceptable. Or are the fashion designers to blame, maybe there is too much emphasis on profit so creativity and individual style gets lost. Enough ranting, it's far too early in the day to become cynical.
It didn't matter if there was a group of 2, 4 or 20 women out this morning, they were all wearing the same uniform.
You'd think that in this day of easy come easy go style and fashion affordability that there would be at least 30% of the population showing some sort of individualism.
So after my initial realisation of how many black leggings were out doing their paces this morning, I thought I would count how many females WERE NOT wearing the "Uniform".
Sadly I have to report that there were only 10 in the space of roughly 3 kms along Manly Beach front.
Now why are there only 10 of us wearing colourful attire? well that's interesting as my observations started showing, or I should say hearing.
Most of the colour wearers were speaking with what seemed to be spanish/european accents.....(If you haven't heard Manly is the new Brazil! and all the better for it, if you ask me)!
So if other beach loving nations have adopted colour, why haven't we?
After sitting for 10 minutes thinking this through...I don't have the answer. Maybe I'm just a fashion rebel.
