Alright, let’s gab about this “Elle 2024” thing, whatever that is. Sounds fancy, like somethin’ them city folk yap about. I ain’t no fashion expert, mind you, but I seen enough clotheslines in my day to know a thing or two about what folks are wearin’, or at least what they should be wearin’ if they don’t wanna look like a scarecrow.
So, this “Elle 2024,” seems like it’s all about what’s gonna be hot in the stores come fall and winter. Fall and winter clothes, now there’s somethin’ I know about. Gotta keep warm, that’s the first thing. Forget all them fancy names, if it don’t keep the wind out, it ain’t worth a hill of beans.
They’re talkin’ about “monochromatic tailorin’.” Sounds like a mouthful, don’t it? Basically, it means wearin’ all the same color, like all black or all brown. Well, I been doin’ that since I was a young’un, not ’cause it was fancy, but ’cause I only had one dress! And if it was good enough for me then, it’s good enough for these fancy “Elle” people now, I reckon.
- Keepin’ warm is key. That’s what I always say.
- One color outfits. Easy to match, less laundry.
- Lace and such. Pretty, but does it keep you warm? I doubt it.
Then there’s this “lingerie-and-lace” stuff. Now, I ain’t gonna lie, lace is pretty, but wearin’ it in the winter? Sounds like a good way to catch a cold. These young folks and their skimpy clothes, they’ll be learnin’ their lesson soon enough when the snow starts fallin’. You gotta bundle up, that’s the truth of it. Layering, that’s what my mama always told me. Wear a shirt, then a sweater, then a coat. And don’t forget your long johns!
They’re also blabberin’ about “Y2K” and “low-rise jeans.” Now, I ain’t got a clue what Y2K is, sounds like somethin’ from outer space. And low-rise jeans? Those are the ones that barely cover your backside, right? Well, I’ll tell you what, bendin’ over in those things is a recipe for disaster. You’ll be showin’ the whole world more than they need to see. Give me a good pair of high-waisted jeans any day, somethin’ that keeps everything tucked in where it should be.
Then there’s talk about “pencil skirts” and “ladylike silhouettes.” Sounds like they’re tryin’ to make women look all prim and proper again. Well, I ain’t got nothin’ against lookin’ nice, but a woman’s gotta be able to move, too. Can’t be hobblin’ around in some tight skirt, tryin’ to chase chickens or haul firewood. Gotta have clothes that work for ya, not against ya.
And this “boho” thing? Fringe and fur and boots? Sounds like somethin’ the gypsies used to wear, God rest their souls. Well, I guess what goes around comes around. But I tell you what, if you’re gonna wear fur, make sure it’s fake. Don’t go skinnin’ some poor critter just to look fashionable. And those knee-high boots? Good for keepin’ your legs warm, I suppose, but make sure they’re sturdy enough for walkin’ through the mud.
Colors are important too. They’re sayin’ autumn has the prettiest colors, and that’s true enough. But don’t go wearin’ somethin’ that clashes with the leaves, or you’ll look like a fool. Stick to earthy tones, like browns and greens and reds. And a little bit of orange never hurt nobody.
So, that’s my take on this “Elle 2024” thing. Keep warm, cover your backside, and wear clothes that let you move. And don’t forget your long johns! That’s all there is to it, really. Fashion ain’t rocket science, it’s just common sense. And if you don’t believe me, well, you just go ahead and freeze your tail off in them fancy lace things. See if I care.
Practicality is the most important thing when it comes to clothes. You need somethin’ that will last, somethin’ that will keep you warm, and somethin’ that you can move around in. All this fancy stuff is just a waste of money if it doesn’t do those things. So, when you’re lookin’ at them clothes in the store, just remember what I said. Keep warm, stay covered and be comfortable. That’s the real fashion, if you ask me.
