    Those sunnies are awesome. I doubt that chavs would wear aviators. Fake Police, Dior, Chanel etc. etc. YES!

    I love the chav "if it's got a brand name on it, it must look good" style of dress. The bigger the logo, the better. Even better if it's something like those Nikes with the bubble (or springs now) in the heel so they're unmistakable. Makes for some very amusing outfits.

    Oh and just to add something to my ever increasing list, (I'm not really bothered, honest) those clothes with bike or car logos on them. Especially people who wear Ferrari or Porsche clothes, when it's obvious they could never afford one.

    Why shouldn't they wear clothes with "Ferrari" on? Do you feel the same way about people wearing football and rugby shirts, too? After all, I doubt many of them could afford to buy the club.

    I don't think "chavs" (I think you should all know the word is actually "charver", and originated in the West End of Newcastle over a decade ago :p ) dress that way feeling it's a "uniform", at all. I think that style of dress suits most of the stuff they're spending their time doing (I mean, they aren't exactly off to a cocktail party, are they?) and they probably don't give two figs about style etc. Most of the time, anyway.

    Oh I know this isn't the opposite sex, but I had to share. I saw a chick wearing a denim skirt with one of those lame studded belts with black leggings that cut off right below the knee and black pumps.

    Needless to say we all had a good laugh for a minute ;)

    I think you should know that chav and chavie is a common word in the Romany language word that means mate, or young kid.
    I've been using the word chav for over 15 years.

    Chav didn't come from Charver and it didn't come from Chatham. It's a modern equivalent of 'Gypo'.

    I just thought that chav was invented by the media, because I'm from the land of chavs (the north west) and nobody here had heard of it when it started to get used in the papers a few years ago. It was always scallies or townies up here. And I know that every other region seemed to have their own word for them. What region is chav from then?

    Or men that wear the pants with the extra large pockets that go down to the knees.
