Is it normal that trends in america are often 3-year old european trends?
It seems to me that the 'European look' or British/English 'style' in North America, is always a look that's three years old.
Take for example, Hunter wellies. I passed a group of glossy teenage girls the other day in scuff-less, neon Hunters.
The same ones that I wore in the milking parlour on my farm when I was 10. My mother wore them when she was 14 on the farm, as did most farmers.
I paid £20 for mine, now they're in Canadian boutique shops for $140.
I know they can't know what people across the ocean are wearing at the exact same time, but why put in the effort (and that amount of money) to copy a trend that's been through and passed?
