Bristol Fashion

Originally a nautical term, Bristol Fashion means "conforming to the highest standards of seamanship." A boat that is maintained in absolutely perfect condition can be described as "shipshape & Bristol Fashion."

The term is frequently applied outside the boating world, however. A cooler stocked with ice cold beers, an old truck that's been tuned to run just right, a steak cooked perfectly, or an immaculate lawn could all be described as being in Bristol Fashion.

"Have you seen Old Man Nelson's lawn? That guy keeps his yard in Bristol Fashion."

Fashion Pants

Pants that, from a distance, may appear to be slacks, but are really jeans or chinos.

"Hey Joseph, nice slacks."

"No, he's not wearing slacks. Those are fashion pants."

"How can you tell?"

"There are no pleats or lines down the middle. The material is also not as nice. Fashion pants are much more casual."

"What's the difference? Those pants look nice too."

Fashion Souls

Fashion Souls is the general term for when you customise your character's appearance for fashionable or visual reasons rather than for the buffs, protection or other features that better armour/clothing would provide.

Based on Dark Souls players who wear impractical apparel cause it looks cool rather than wearing better protective or stronger clothing. The player then usually pays the price by consistently dying because they take too much damage.

Everyone secretly does it at one point or another.

"Dude, you can't just Fashion Souls, you'll keep dying!"

"I don't care, I look amazing and that's all that matters."
