Mexicans love “American” clothing, whether they know what it says or not.
Men are more guilty of wearing the unknown than women. I spotted one man wearing a shirt declaring himself the “World’s Greatest Grandma” and another as as a member of the “Women’s Naked 5K Team.”
Instead of donating old clothes to Goodwill, perhaps I should bring a bunch down here. I could just layer them on, walk around town, and sell them to people on the street. “Hey buddy, want to buy a shirt?”
What do you think? Might just pay for my ticket that way.
There are lots of tiangis in Mexico where american clothing is sold.
That is true. Many make a living traveling to the states, buying lightly used clothing at garage sales, Goodwill, etc. and bringing back here to sell. The question is, if I arrive with a suitcase of old clothes, will I find a market? Or can I even sell the clothes legally?
not legally, but you will find people to buy anything anywhere for the right price! 🙂
That is so funny! I find the Kayah wearing the strangest T-shirts too! And the strangest color and pattern combo’s. It is like they are all color blind! But I think they just see “hey, look at this cool shirt, I think I will wear it today.”
Yep! The rules of fashion are very different in other cultures. Perhaps it is only us that have “rules.”
