Keeping up with the times matters whenabout having followed. you’re young and that makes it easy to get thingsRead on ...! wrong. My first big mistake was the mini-skirt, back in the 1960s. I think I was a little uncomfortable about it even then. The mistake, and I think this is true of any fashion in any generation and for anybody, was not to think hard enough about or even realise if it was suitable for me; my body shape, the impression I wanted to give. Talk about blindly following fashion! The 60s and 70s have a lot to answer for. There were also flares; remember? They looked silly then, so why wouldn’t they look silly again when they were revived at the turn of the century? B When I was a child, I sometimes had to wear a kilt because my parents were Scottish; usually to other children’s parties and on high days and holidays. This, of course, made me the centre of attention – a boy in a skirt. I was shy, too; that’s probably why I tend to be unadventurous when it comes to clothes. As I work in banking, I spend most of my time in a suit, and prefer an understated look, but I do go for high quality materials and tailoring. I spend quite a lot on clothes, so I suppose I am a bit of a slave to fashion. And I go to a barber who charges £70 a time. It’s pricey, but I like being well-groomed. My wife complains that I’m ‘boring’. Once – this was a while ago and her idea – I went to a meeting with my hair punky and spiky. Well ... that was embarrassing.100

I do think what a personwears tells you something about them, thoughwhat I was thinking when I adopted the bighair, padded shoulder, Dynasty look, I’ll neverknow! That must have been in the 1980s.I’ll put it down to youthful exuberance – orignorance. I suppose it made me feel rich andpowerful like the Joan Collins character. Andthe big sunglasses! Ridiculous! I now avoidclothes that shout ‘Look at me!’ What I go foris something fashionable, yes, but stylish andappropriate for my age and situation. DThese days a lot of men spend a lot of time and cash ongrooming. Though I like to think I’m beyond all that, Ido make an effort to make myself presentable. It’s not aquestion of following fashion, but more about the do’sand don’ts of dressing well. You know: quality fabrics,suitable tie and socks, and a good haircut. Back in thegaudy late 1960s and early 70s, young men went aboutdressed up like birds of paradise, and I was no exception:tie-dyed granny vest in colours not present in nature andbright orange satin flared trousers. I burned any pictures.Well, I was young – and fashion is really a young person’sthing, when you’ve still got the body for it.

They use their specialised knowledge to pick up 1trends that they expect to become important. They work in various industries, including fashion and computing.They are interested in why consumers latch 2 certain crazes, 3 they maybe, and not others. Trend spotters are on the streets in major cities like New York, Paris and Tokyo, lookingfor the next big thing. Sometimes trends are limited to a certain region, but others may spread from the cityto the whole country. Trend spotters try to work out which trends, 4 unusual they may be,have the potential to catch on. The companies that employ trend spotters can use this information to cash5 on new trends ahead of the competition. When a new trend is spotted, companies have toact quickly to create a product that consumers will snap 6 .
