Went to Lords today and watched the English cricket fans, watching England bat against India, and was struck by how uniform what they wear is. Clothing featuring pastel colours, baby blue or salmon, and a lot of panama hats. A lifestyle culture, an urban tribe?

‘Microgroups of people who share common interests in metropolitan areas. The members of these relatively small groups tend to have similar worldviews, dress styles and behavioural patterns.’ This is how  Michel Maffesoli describes an urban tribe. The Lords cricket fan seemed pretty uniform.  I of course went ‘native’ wearing a pink seersucker blazer.
