Dandies Underground
Hit the op shops again today, by accident rather than design. My son’s in need of formal attire for his summer program in the UK, not an area any of us have much experience with. After passing the coolest op shop in Canberra (blipped earlier this week), I suggested The Underground might make an interesting contrast (although it’s actually my daughter’s favourite). My husband and son have as little experience (and enthusiasm) for op shops as they do for formal attire, so some great hilarity ensued as we came to terms with collars and cuff links.
My husband’s theory is that op shops don’t cater so well for the male of the species because of their aversion to throwing anything out. In fact, The Underground (while having that unpleasant musty smell) was well stocked with both male attire and male fashionistas. The point of my intended blip was the car stuffed full of stuffed animals, but I did like how this version caught an interesting array of dandies, the store was surprisingly popular with the lunch crowd.
And my son (not pictured), did pick up a nice white shirt, the collar only a little tight, no cuff links required! Only a tie and belt to go…
