Column a fad: you are joking?

the other day we were sitting with friends in a cottage on the North sea and had an interesting discussion of the nature, as they are often in the holiday, if you are sitting long at the Breakfast table, the kids play Monopoly and discussing trivialities under. For example, in our Outfit. One of us wore Sandals with white tennis socks. "Not at all," said someone. "Why not?" came back. "Is chavvy!" "Wearing it now", the reply, including a questionable gaze on me. I was brought up as a fashion expert – and felt immediately uncomfortable.

on the one Hand, it was clear to me that the flip-flops from Adidas just announced, finally, she's wearing my teenage daughter. I bought it for her self because she wanted to have you and all your friends to wear them. But it is still hard, the white-and-blue plastic-mere, is now at home in the hallway, as It to see the Piece. Rather, I ask myself the question, what makes my daughter then falls in Love with a long-term camper?

to do This, you must know that I have been socialized in the eighties. And only whoever that is, can understand that, you can gain the whole Eighties-Trash-Trend, nothing, unless you unterzöge a trauma therapy. Broad shoulders, permanent wave, carrots pants – never would I wear it again. As little as a Adilette, where I contributed to the well at the time, and the men who wore them, not even know wanted. They reminded me either of moldy locker rooms in the swimming pool or to people who had mullet hairstyles, and Modern Talking heard.

't even look bad

And now? Now the Badelatsche, which is called with full name "Adidas Adilette Slipper" and by Adi Dassler for the football player to the showers after the game has been designed is a hot thing, worn by Justin Bieber and rappers said.

Back to the North sea. The day after our discussion, I stood in front of the bakery in the queue, and next to me on the road a good-looking Hipster out of his car peeled. He wore a green Badelatsche with a yellow Emblem, yellow tennis socks, tightly pulled up so that they covered half of the calf, at his side, a pretty blonde in a fashionable Jumpsuit. And as the sun shone on the two, a light breeze through her hair was blowing, I began to overcome my Trauma a little bit. And had to admit: didn't look so bad. And our friend, I granted Absolution: Adilette you can wear!
