Styles

Over here, there is a quite broader range of styles for men and boys. In America, how many times do you see:
A forty-year-old man in a lilac suit
A thirty-something year-old man in mustard pants and a bright pink shirt (quiet a shocking combination, I agree)
Teenage boys in blue, purple, pink, green, red, etc. skinny jeans (Ben Wise would be quite happy here!)
A sixty-year-old man in bright green jeans
Silk scarves for men (bright colors, and bold patterns)
I like it that way because men and boys are allowed to show expression (no rigid fashion rules!)
It is quite expected that everyone wears color. Today I wore Eleanor's jeans to school, and most people were shocked that I knew how to wear jeans! But everyone in my class commented on how cute they were on me (well, everyone except for one person). I get a lot of encouragement from my friends, and nobody looks at me like I have gone mad, as I walk around town in my ankle length skirt and my conservative sweaters. I had one question about my skirt, but only one. I think that it is very nice not to get strange looks because I am wearing things that were in style quite a while ago.
I also get compliments all the time! It is so pleasant!
