Any question answered...

Start a trend by just wearing one cuff link?

I remember back in the day when all my mates suddenly decided it was the done thing to wear cuffed shirts without cufflinks (not rolled up). which a) looked shit and b) was hugely impractical. yet all of them insisted it was the done thing and if you weren't doing it you were a relic in fashion terms.

after I pointed out that not one other person in the club was doing it over multiple weeks i was able to discern they'd all learned of this "must follow" trend from a single bloke at a wanky overpriced menswear shop in basildon town centre.

it lasted about another week before the whole thing fizzled out but the entire time i felt like i was in some weird emperors new clothes situation and i was the only person who hadn't lost their mind.
