Flip through the latest issue of Gulf Weekly.
I had a conversation this morning with GulfWeekly journalist, Charlie Holding about the clothing fads worn by today’s teenagers. It seemed we aged ourselves a wee bit by noticing that we wore similar stuff when we were kids.
Plaid shirts with cut-off sleeves, camouflage and concert tees with skinny acid wash jeans were popular choices. Call it a classic rock look.
Ironically, I actually used to work for a company that tie-dyed and acid washed jeans in various colours and, even at that time it was a repeat trend.
Now in Forever 21 you can flashback to the past with an ACDC or Ramones cut sleeve t-shirt paired with a plaid mini skirt, all for great prices. I ended up buying the camisoles for only BD1.5. They are great under a sheer blouse and can be found in the popular red tartan print, black and white, neon green, orange, fuchsia, cobalt blue and grey.
My son Kieran wanted a denim jacket with pockets on the inside to hold the spy gadgets he uses on his brother Aiden and his buddies from the compound, so we looked around Seef Mall and eventually found one he liked in Adams Kids.
The cute biker-cut denim jacket was only BD10. Starting today there is a special promotion with selected items under BD5. Dress your little one to impress in Aztec print wool sweaters, striped coral, navy and grey cardigans with matching socks and cap. Smart looks for smart shoppers.
Amy Adams started Adams Kids in 1933 from her humble home in Birmingham, UK. She was driven to sell stylish and well-priced children’s clothing and her dream eventually came to fruition. The company operated as an independent retailer for 40 years and was headed by her son Michael until interested buyers acquired the company. Now it has grown to over 200 stores worldwide.
Meanwhile, F&F, which stands for Florence and Fred, opens this Friday on the ground level in Seef Mall. This International brand carries men, women and children’s clothing and was once exclusively sold in Tesco, a popular UK supermarket chain.
They are now opening in Bahrain as a stand-alone store in order to provide UK expats with the comforts of home. To celebrate the opening, F&F will be offering 25 per cent off of everything until November 19. Don’t miss out.
