How to wear a tracksuit w/o looking like a chav?
Sorry if this offends anyone!
I want to wear trackies, think vintage/retro adidas but don't want to look like I'm about to recieve an ASBO :lol:
I pretty sure that Gwen Stefani (pre preg) wore tracksuits and looked pretty cool, what's the trick?
Answer:
Look like you've had a wash and don't scrape your hair back!
Answer:
Not to wear them with footie socks and rockports!!!! :lol:
And of course the clown on a big fat argos gold chain!!! ;)
Answer:
I always wear my trackies, I don't care what people think, they're comfy :D I think if you avoid wearing the whole tracksuit it's better - maybe wear the trackie top with jeans, or the trackie bottoms with a plain vest top. Make sure your jewellery is simple and classy (so no massive clown necklaces!) and make-up is toned down, obviously :D
Also, I think the brighter colours are more retro looking, rather than the typical black-and-white or blue-and-white stripes. I have a dark blue Adidas trackie top with dark orange stripes down the sides which I got about 9 years ago and still wear now, I don't *think* it looks chavvy because it's more unusual than the plain white stripe ones you see on your everyday chav :lol:
Answer:
Its probably in the hair I think - most of the chavs by me wearing tracksuits usually have their hair scraped back into an eyewateringly tight ponytail set with a can of mousse and one of those massive flower bobbles in.
Seriously though, I think it is in the hair, jewellery and (please dont flame me for this!) overall cleanliness that separate us from the chavs!

    already looked at their website.
    Thanks :)
    Answer:
    you wil probably have to ring them - they are quite forthcoming with info, but will prbs try quite hard to get you to go for a consultation!
    Answer:
    I looked in the back of "B" magazine I was reading, and it had loads of telephone numbers for the Harley Street clinics.
    I rang them up, and all of them gave me prices and sent big glossy folders with their before after surgeries- very impressive.
    Also they offer free consultations.
    I think "transform" has a website though- let me try and find it :)

    Fancy Dress
    hello :wave:
    Need some major ideas for fancy dress! I'm not a huge fan of it to be honest but its for a friends 21st so I thought "what the hell" Basically just because its fancy dress doesn't mean I'm going to make a tw@t of myself!! I'd rather wear something that suits my figure/shape. Christ how fussy do I sound?! :p :lol:
    I'm 5"3, dark skinned. Size 10 top size 12 bottom. Have long straight black hair... I don't know if this is helping :uzzle: I have a curvy bum, dont suit stuff like pencil skirts. Erm I have a rather slim waist,flat stomach so wouldn't mind something stomach bearing.
    I've done fancy dress once before and did the oh so unique school girl ;)
    I'd rather do something naughty/flirty.
    Right, I'm done :D
    Any ideas would be fab :)
