WTF happened to mens clothing? 
I went shopping the other day and didnt find a single pair of jeans, trainers or any t-shirts that i liked. They all seem to be for the type of people that find skinny jeans cool. 
All the trainers were either gash colours or were pumps. There might have been 2 or 3 pairs on trainers out of 20 shops that i liked and then they were over £75. All the t-shirts had random pictures on the front like skulls and women and just pointless crap. 99% of the jeans were long crotch or skinny fitting.
What ever happened to normal trainers in normal colours, regular fitting jeans and normal t-shirts that just have logos or normal designs?
Honestly who the fuck wants to look like this??
This was probably the last nice t-shirt i bought
But nothing seems to be even close to similar anymore!
Dont get me wrong theres a lot of choice online and in the bigger shopping centres like the Trafford Centre but in the smaller shopping centres, on the high street and overall theres just a poor selection of what id call "normal" style clothes anymore. I get that fashion changes but jesus christ i dont want to look like ive cut my balls off just to fit in a pair of jeans!

See those shoes are what im on about! Nobody in their right mind would buy them except people that wear tight fitting shorts and a vest as per...
Graham i like Bench aswell but very few high street shops seem to sell their stuff anymore

I get my stuff from JD sports, or Republic. Quite a few shops in Bluewater sell Bench but obviously that's no use to you

I get most of my stuff, when I do buy clothes, from routeone.co.uk or skate shops in town, unless you wanna look like a queer there's no point trying the high street shops.
Although haven't bought any clothes for about a year

Because if you have any muscle at all on your legs, or the possibility of a ball sack, you cant actually fit in them. And even if you did have legs and balls, I cant imagine how uncomfortably sweaty and chafy those things would be on a hot day, similar to last Saturday

Henleys is a proper northern brand, I always see crowds of it when theres northerners about. Very popular.

If you lot just want some nice, normal jeans then go to Gap. If you're a bit of a snob and wont wear Gap then get some Levis.

That last t-shirt even features a Burberry-esque print on it for good measure
