Return To School?

 Today is the return to school day in Hessen.  It would normally be the day that I'd go to the mid-town area of Wiesbaden....at the bus-stop, and gauge the attire situation for 12, 13, and 14 year old kids.  On shock appeal?  Oh, it's a solid '10'.  

This is the day that all of them go and push the limits, with parents giving a marginal 'thumbs-up', and then laying down the attire rules for the rest of the year.

Four years ago, I noted the attire situation had swung to the Japanese anime/cartoon level, and probably 10-percent of the young ladies dressing like some Japanese character.

Three years ago, before Covid, I noticed some minor trend toward leather-and-bondage look, which I doubt if the girls even realized the selected apparel.  

For guys?  One year, there was some trend toward nylon work-out pants (the cheap 10 Euro type).
