Zurich ’streetstyle’
Heute is the free evening newspaper here in Zurich. I like it because I’m in too much of a hurry in the morning to read the 20min, the free morning paper. It also gives me a chance to see the town’s current styles in the “Streetstyle” section.
The Wednesday, 30 August edition put my teeth on edge. The subjects were two 13-year-old girls. Click the thumbnail to see a larger picture (then hit your brower’s back button to get back here). Now, maybe I’m getting old (or old-fashioned) but I have issues with some of the US styles that have infiltrated Europe. Check out the tilted baseball cap the young lady on the left is wearing. Yes, I know she’s only 13 and her wardrobe should be fun and “frolicky,” but something just isn’t right about that…shoot the entire outfit for that matter.
The young lady on the right disturbed me too. She’s carrying an allegedly CHF200 (US$167) Louis Vuitton. Thirteen-year-olds have no business carrying a CHF200 anything (fake or not…but I’m not going to go there about that).
So, what would I have them wear? Take a look at these selections from Asos.com. Since the young lady on the left likes hats, I suggest this captain hat . She could pair it with this “Beyonce inspired” slash neck puff sleeve top and the same leggings she’s wearing. I’d suggest flats instead of heels though. After all, she is 13.
As for her friend, I love this Miss Sixty denim skirt and top. It’s classy without being too mature for her age.
What would you suggest?

OMG, “streetstyle” is right…they look like streetwalkers. Honestly, that crap shouldn’t be worn by females of ANY age. Also, I thought I saw Victoria’s Secret mentioned? 13 year-olds in Victoria’s Secret? WTF?
Yes, you read right. One of the pair’s dream outfits is a “monokini” from Victoria’s Secret.
