Interesting research we talked about last night which raises a problem for men and their jeans. Research says that waistbands go up and down depending on the age of the man. Until twelve trousers rest at just about the natural point of the waist and then get gradually lower during the teenage years. This is due to the fashion for low slung hipster style jeans, supposedly originating from US prisoners having their belts removed. Gradually men decide they don't want to show their pants, and in theory the waistbands rise up again. In practice however it is hard to find fashionable trousers that don't sit low on your hips. Apparently we could be storing up future back problems thanks to the whims of jeans style.
We also talked about the launch of the iPad. There was a mixed reaction with few showing early excitement. But the people who had seen the product video already wanted one! Apparently my colleagues Anthony and Steve A are already in the queue. This convinces me that it will be a big hit.
And still on the subject of style and fashion - dog bling is on the up! Diamond studded collars and puffy jackets for your canine are now a billion pound business. I wonder if the dog realizes how silly it looks?
