After my gruelling 5-hour disciplinary hearing on Saturday (see previous post), I'm sorely in need of something more lighthearted and frivolous. So what could be more appropriate than turning to The Guardian's fashion pages and an advice column titled - this is possibly my favourite headline of 2009 - 'What should I wear to a protest march?'
'The art of looking chic while taking to the streets has long been neglected', we are informed. Indeed. I especially like the idea of agonising over a possible colour clash between clothes and placard - not something I've ever contemplated myself, but I can see it might be an issue.
Typical Guardian. 'The art of looking chic while taking to the streets has long been neglected'. Their crack team of journalists obviously hasn't noticed faux Palestinian scarves in every fashion chain on the High Street. I hope the article was at least part ironic...
ReplyDeleteBrendan, you have to admit it's a topic that has very little research or analysis devoted to it. A sad omission indeed!
