wearing back to front

[namloan]

A. These days wearing shirts or T-shirts inside out is no longer fashionable.
B. Wearing shirts or T-shirts back to front is very in these days.

- Are these sentences grammatical and natural?

Thanks very much to Teachers and members.

Sentence A sounds fine to me.

In sentence B, the phrase “very in” is unnatural to me. You can remove the “very” and just say “wearing T-shirts back to front is in these days”, but that sentence could be confusing because people may not realize that “in” is short for “in fashion”. I think it is better to say:

“…wearing T-shirts back to front is very fashionable these days”
“…wearing T-shirts back to front is in fashion these days”

I expect you know that back-to-front and inside-out mean different things.

I think that most young people would understand 'very in'. Like Munch, I am not happy with the expression, but I can't agree that it's confusing.

The idea that in is short for in fashion is so out, Munch.;-)
