It all depends where you work really doesn't it? I have friends who work in
Vintage clothes shops, therefore they can dress as extreme as they
like...but no matter what job to do it's easy to keep mod styling and as we
all know: those in the know are the ones that know - it's dressing for
yourself and what you are in to.
'Twinxle toes' Tinx (as Matt so nicely called me!)
Being an office BT engineer, its kind of hard dressing Mod due to the fact
that we have to ware our BT issued navy blue suits, which as I have
mentioned before, are far, far from mod.
However I bend the rules a little and seem to get away with things.
I discarded my BT shirts and ware my own long sleeve shirts with target
cufflinks which are darn site better fit than the supposedly long sleeve
issued shits that stop 4" short of my wrists.
Now working in an office we are supposed to ware steel toe caps in case we
drop a pencil on our feet or something, sod that, I where my deserts or
loafers and my manager doesn't seem to mind.
I get away with not wareing the suit jacket and where my Parker.
Despite being tormented by a load of old farts believing that I live in the
past because of the way I like to dress and the cut of my hair, I am quite
happy.
However on days when I am unable to dress with a hint on modness to work,
like having to ware my 'Spray Way' fleece because its so damn cold. I don't
particularly mind because when you get home and get changed into the clothes
that you feel express you best, I appreciate them more and I find that I
like the image more.
Sorry If I sound as though I am talking bollocks but...wasn't it the
original mods who worked by day earning money to pay for their clothes an
all night parties at the weekends?
