I know this one is in Leeds, in the Victoria Quarter. Which means I know where to go, to shoot this harem pant wearing cretin.

Wow, it's such a weird contrast to the American one. I usually feel the Americans are too straightforward and unimaginative but it seems the Brits have gone for all the fads. High rolled trou and big, big bow ties to name two. This one is kinda nice tho:

edit: Even if you don't agree with the actual fit and style, there are some very nice colours in some of the entries. edit 2: Also, it seems there are no Asian people in Britain.

Are you sure that's not from West Hollywood?

Horrible. Just horrible. I don't see how most of those people are considered best dressed... Just most outlandish in a bad sort of way.

I'm with you on that one...

I love eccentricity but not for the sake of it...

I like sartorial flair...
