Tech wear? The Sportswear of Tomorrow, or the day after I don't really know
So here I was Browsing though my Pinterest page at a bus stop (because I had already gone through my Snap chat, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube) When I came across something that I had never seen before...
It's called Techwear.
And it looks like something from out of Watch Dogs or some Dystopian script where everything in the future is dark and miserable.... presuming Mr Trump Doesn't accidentally blow us all up in a Twitter Tantrum about how a Korean kid messed up his morning Omelette... But that's for the future to decide...

I would seriously feel safer if Donald Duck was the President of the USA. At least he's funny but not in a Sad old man with a trigger happy twitter account.
Anyway...
Tech Wear caught my eye as it reminded me of Yohji Yamamoto's work. The use of Loose fitting Black futuristic garments is surely a style that he has dominated in the past decade.
Here's a couple pictures of what I mean.
And none of them are GIF's...
Who'd of Fucking thought
I've finally Grown up.





For some bloody reason I feel like this style has been cut off from most people for two reasons...
1. It's been "adopted" by the hype beast community (sorry Freya) so its all Supreme shit and overpriced Adidas and Nike Tech labs so only a crazy moron could afford to buy most of the stuff...
2. Its very unorthodox... especially in the UK, where lets face it the closest we can get to this is 14 year olds in them Nike and Adidas Trackies roaming around in there lil squads playing Rap music they don't even like because they want to fit in, they get mummies around and there Dad has a 9 to 5 job.
However I like the style aspect of Tech-wear, it brings something new to the table, combining great style with actual practicality. I mean look at it, for British weather its perfect. It's waterproof, warm, covers your whole body, you have storage within the style to carry your belongings and the clothes you are wearing when it gets hotter, which also means you can dress it up and down as its made of layers. It's not a "Shirt a Jumper and a Coat at the same time" it is simply all of these things separately but they work together to their individual advantages and disadvantages.

I lied I still love dem GIFS
Even though the look admittedly looks very Tech'y and complicated...you could argue that its also very minimalist.
I mean think about it. You have all the clothing you need for whatever situation, a bag to carry all of your tools, food, necessities, currency etc
It's a very "You vs the World approach" from the angle that I'm looking at it now.
I might need to change the perspective on this topic so I can get a 360 degree view of it, just to see the bigger picture and understand the topic more.
