Certain football strips as "fashion" - yay or nay?

I have long been, and probably still mostly am, of the opinion that any grown person wearing a football top when not either watching or playing football (or, at a stretch, lounging about in some Mediterreanen beach bar) should be given a gentle reminder that they aren't 12 any more and go home to get changed, but in the past few years there have been some teams - PSG and Borussia Dortmund being the most clear examples - releasing away/3rd/European kits that are clearly designed with "looking cool" in mind and some of them have been belters that, if the exact same garmet was released by some big fashion house as opposed to a football club, would be easily credible mainstream clobber.
I am by no means, as the ditty goes, "a dedicated follower of fashion", but I find myself wearing both the pinstripe away kit from a couple of years ago and this season's 3rd kit - a new purchase, they aren't getting any bloody cheaper my god! - "out and about" more often - I wore the latter for a short hike in the Zermatt mountains yesterday (name dropping ********, I know :greengrin).
I think there's a perceptible shift in the football kit designs and subsequently target market(s) in the last few years - anyone else feel similar and find themselves wearing, or at least tempted to wear, a Hibs/other football top outside of the traditional "settings" more often?
