Btay Posted August 16, 2021 Report Share Posted August 16, 2021 58 minutes ago, MikeO said: I'd actually disagree with that, anyone dressed head to toe and accessorising in Dolce & Gabbana is very much a fashion sheep in my view, just a high end one, like the Beckham sari. Have no problem with him wearing it but if he wants to but to be an idividual go down to charity shops. I'd have thought the very definition of high end "fashion sheep" is wearing something "out there" that Joe Public will never be able to afford; he's not looking like that because he likes it (even if he does), he's looking like it because he can afford to. I think that’s a bit harsh Mike. Both him and Davies have a very alternative style, just also happens that they can afford to shop where most can’t but that’s at no fault of their own. I wouldn’t dress like that but each to their own and the world would be a very boring place if we all were the same!

Not for a moment critising him for doing it, just disagreeing with the suggestion that it shows he's somehow being non-conformist and individual, I think it shows the opposite. He's wearing D&G because he can, simple as. Btay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seemed like criticism to me I guarantee you won't see many people dressed in their style of clothes as its very very high end and cutting edge. Not many people have the courage to wear clothes like that, so respect to them for doing it and having their own fashion identity. Most footballers pick up a copy of GQ and say I want that. These guys passion is fashion, and fair play to them. dunlopp9987, badaids, Zoo 2.0 and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take the lad back five years and show him that photo and he'll piss himself laughing at the thought, I like to think he wore it for a bet (or paid for it by D&G) then got changed after the photo before going out.

MikeO Posted August 16, 2021 Report Share Posted August 16, 2021 Final thought on this because it's wound me up a bit. Firstly Dom can wear whatever he likes, Tom I think is far more individual though. Back in my previous life we worked for a company (can't remember their name) who put out a description of what was going to be in fashion about a year in the future, was controlled and prearranged by the designers long in advance. Dom was a tailor's dummy in that pic, nothing individual about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my case when you get past your 30's your mind thinks I'm still a young man, your body shows otherwise When I worked for the paper we would always get friendly with the fashion editors and reporters as they got invites to the best parties, and you are right fashion lines for high street brands are worked out long in advance. But the clothes Tom and Dom wear more high level boutique than Top Shop. I guess my point is there are far to many people who go along with the crowd in most things in life rather than trust their own judgement and follow their own path. This must especially be true for those in the public eye. So to wear clothes that get them noticed and open to ridicule by the internet trolls, takes courage in my opinion.

Could very well be a shoot for D&G but it’s definitely in line with his taste. Tom is a proper crack up! Also I’ll add @MikeO I wasn’t attacking you, I just said it’s a bit harsh.
