RM do keep up:) I already bought a khaki adidas visor.

Nicole, I think I may have seen a red one at the store today, but maybe it was white with red stripes. They also had the j.lu hated velour red.

I am not down with this Georgian Justice.

― rosemary (rosemary), Tuesday, 22 April 2003 01:53 (twenty-one years ago) link

Rosemary next time I must bring you with me as my fashion consultant.

Nicole, you are in luck. Just checked the online store and the red superstar jacket is yours for the having.

― Mary (Mary), Tuesday, 22 April 2003 01:56 (twenty-one years ago) link

Yay fashion consulting!

Yay! Thanks Mary -- off I go to check out the online store.

― Nicole (Nicole), Tuesday, 22 April 2003 11:08 (twenty-one years ago) link

what material are these tops? my initial reaction would be to plump for adidas over fred perry. though i cant help but feel a dark brown/light brown combination would be even better.

what is wrong with velour? i like it

the visor is definitely a good thing, though i think the bucket hat has got good points too. you cannot go wrong with hats really

Despite what Jerry just did up there, this thread makes me feel like a fifteen year old boy again.

What looks good with white and red soccer socks? - Clogs!

― jel -- (jel), Tuesday, 22 April 2003 17:50 (twenty-one years ago) link

Mary, wait until you see my outfit for Buffython.

― rosemary (rosemary), Tuesday, 22 April 2003 17:56 (twenty-one years ago) link

Clogs don't look good with anything.

― mark p (Mark P), Tuesday, 22 April 2003 17:59 (twenty-one years ago) link

I just have never really understood the appeal of clogs, they're like the Julia Roberts of shoes.

― Nicole (Nicole), Tuesday, 22 April 2003 18:22 (twenty-one years ago) link

ha ha gareth i already got the adidas one as i explained upthread:) it is polyester but feels satiny so covers the sports trend and the satin trend in one fell swoop. the fp was a nicer heavier material but a bit small for me.

#5 what goes with white tennis skirts? i have seen so far either light blue or hot pink tank tops. any other suggestions? accessories?

― Mary (Mary), Tuesday, 22 April 2003 19:25 (twenty-one years ago) link

a racquet, a can of fuschia Penn tennis balls, a gold chain and a tennis pro attractively draped over your shoulders, rowr

― felicity (felicity), Tuesday, 22 April 2003 19:37 (twenty-one years ago) link

A brown top goes with a tennis skirt, Mary.

I'm saying it to save us all from waiting for Gareth.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Tuesday, 22 April 2003 19:40 (twenty-one years ago) link

what goes with white tennis skirts?

Steffi, for one thing. Gabriela Sabatini too. Meghan Shaughnessy, ok. Chanda Rubin. what? oh. never mind.

(polo shirts of course. to the aforementioned pastels, i might add lime green, but i have a feeling that could be very wrong. black and tan.)

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Wednesday, 23 April 2003 04:46 (twenty-one years ago) link

Oh! You need that special tennis underwear, with the pocket in the back.

― rosemary (rosemary), Wednesday, 23 April 2003 04:59 (twenty-one years ago) link

What's the pocket for? And when it will it be warm enough to implement girls' summer style '03, rather than just talk about it?

― Mary (Mary), Wednesday, 23 April 2003 17:13 (twenty-one years ago) link

tennis balls!

― jel -- (jel), Wednesday, 23 April 2003 17:40 (twenty-one years ago) link

Yeah, jel's right.

(I was trying to avoid saying "with the pocket for your balls".)

― rosemary (rosemary), Wednesday, 23 April 2003 19:49 (twenty-one years ago) link

Also, from my observations of ladies tennis, I have noticed that some have a grip device for storing tennis balls within their skirts.

(I totally can not make this sound right)

― jel -- (jel), Wednesday, 23 April 2003 19:55 (twenty-one years ago) link

So female tennis players don't just shove the spare tennis ball down their knickers, then?

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Wednesday, 23 April 2003 19:56 (twenty-one years ago) link

I think I am going to implement gabbneb's suggestion of lime green shirt + white tennis skirt this Saturday.

― felicity (felicity), Wednesday, 23 April 2003 19:59 (twenty-one years ago) link

May I add that is is a used Fila shirt bought at Tokio 7 for $2?

― Mary (Mary), Wednesday, 23 April 2003 20:27 (twenty-one years ago) link

I found it in a baby carriage.

― felicity (felicity), Wednesday, 23 April 2003 20:28 (twenty-one years ago) link

Can we go to Tokio 7 on Saturday, Mary? I have never been.

― rosemary (rosemary), Wednesday, 23 April 2003 23:42 (twenty-one years ago) link

Er okay but I'm not sure it's your thing -- lots of brand whoredome...

― Mary (Mary), Thursday, 24 April 2003 00:06 (twenty-one years ago) link

gabbneb honored to be implemented on the Redwell Platform (but fears fluorescence)

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Thursday, 24 April 2003 02:15 (twenty-one years ago) link

I suppose being my tennis pro qua pullover is out of the question?

― felicity (felicity), Thursday, 24 April 2003 02:16 (twenty-one years ago) link

the b grade hockey team is tuff. they kick your shins.

― ducklingmonster (ducklingmonster), Thursday, 24 April 2003 03:27 (twenty-one years ago) link

if gabbneb = attractive tennis pro, then surely this is bizarro world

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Friday, 25 April 2003 03:39 (twenty-one years ago) link

Are we ready for the Pringle revival?

― Mary (Mary), Friday, 25 April 2003 03:42 (twenty-one years ago) link

Can we go to Tokio 7 on Saturday, Mary? I have never been.

Tokio 7 is totally like my FAVORITE store. Though "Yu" in the Lower East Side is specially nice as well. They have lots of second hand Japanese stuff, and i got my favorite tie there.

― phil-two (phil-two), Friday, 25 April 2003 05:13 (twenty-one years ago) link

I got my velcro Converse there (at Yu.) I think it may have moved though...

― Mary (Mary), Friday, 25 April 2003 05:16 (twenty-one years ago) link

maybe you could sport this tennis look?

http://www.lycra.com/Lycra/images/picts/news/serena.jpg
serena williams and her black catsuit.

― phil-two (phil-two), Friday, 25 April 2003 05:23 (twenty-one years ago) link

I just read something about Yu and it's still on Ludlow after all; Rosemary, shall we honor the phil-two fire there on Sat.?

― Mary (Mary), Friday, 25 April 2003 20:33 (twenty-one years ago) link

Sure!

― rosemary (rosemary), Friday, 25 April 2003 21:55 (twenty-one years ago) link

The old Japanese woman at Yu is *the cutest*... and if you buy something, she wraps it up in pink crepe paper and puts it in the most darling homemade shopping bag. Buy something!

― phil-two (phil-two), Saturday, 26 April 2003 04:16 (twenty-one years ago) link

a black lycra catsuit, perhaps

― phil-two (phil-two), Saturday, 26 April 2003 04:16 (twenty-one years ago) link

she's not old!

yu = water

― Mary (Mary), Saturday, 26 April 2003 16:10 (twenty-one years ago) link

No one wants to know what we bought?

(Yu = not open today)

― rosemary&Mary (Mary), Sunday, 27 April 2003 01:22 (twenty-one years ago) link

Rosemary wasn't digging the girly sports style in Puma:(

― Mary (Mary), Sunday, 27 April 2003 02:28 (twenty-one years ago) link

Pringle goods are available on Spring street. They are so cute, but $$$. Nice crests.

― Mary (Mary), Sunday, 27 April 2003 02:33 (twenty-one years ago) link

Tomoko Kawase is my fashion icon.

Fall edition. Thinking of which football kit would be the most fashion forward: Manchester City would seem to go well with my eyes...

http://www.coresdofutebol.hpg.ig.com.br/ENG_Man_City_kit1_02_03.gif

Why are most of the good teams red? Dave B recommended Wimbledon and Matt DC Tottenham and Charlton but my faves so far are Man City, Man United, Liverpool, Arsenal, West Ham, Leeds. The colors I like: blue and green. Recs?

― Haikunym (Haikunym), Saturday, 13 September 2003 11:37 (twenty years ago) link

West Brom and Man City are the current favorites.

― Ed (dali), Saturday, 13 September 2003 12:22 (twenty years ago) link

Bristol Rovers! Actually, a less biased point of view: Brentford.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Saturday, 13 September 2003 13:45 (twenty years ago) link

not this morning

― Ed (dali), Saturday, 13 September 2003 13:46 (twenty years ago) link

I suspect this will change once they get to football football

― Ed (dali), Saturday, 13 September 2003 13:46 (twenty years ago) link

I decided against the Man City kit and the whole football shirt thing in general. Though it was lovely, shiny, and light blue, it had a giant ad across the chest saying FIRST ADVICE inside a balloon quotation.

On a related note, I can state that Carnaby St. has remade itself into ground zero for girly sport style/UK edition -- Ben Sherman, Lonsdale, Merc, and lots of other retro trad stylers that there wasn't enough time to investigate.

― Mary (Mary), Monday, 15 September 2003 22:02 (twenty years ago) link

turned off by the cynical commercialism of the English game.

looks like girly sports style has some competition

I just want to dress in track pants and adidas ringers all autumn.

― Yerac, Tuesday, 16 October 2018 19:46 (five years ago) link

What's stopping you? (Aside from the patriarchy.)

― Catherine Power (Leee), Tuesday, 16 October 2018 20:24 (five years ago) link

and capitalism! i think i only have one green ringer.

― Yerac, Tuesday, 16 October 2018 20:30 (five years ago) link

Track pants are kinda hawt tho tbh

― F# A# (∞), Tuesday, 16 October 2018 20:54 (five years ago) link

I noticed how many great athletic pants have been made for women recently.

― Yerac, Tuesday, 16 October 2018 20:57 (five years ago) link

I also think it's funny how someone pointed out Serena's black catsuit 15 years ago.
