I wore something with shoulder pads.

had two sets of breast. From that point on I cut my out.

It would sort of bag and wrinkle funny around the shoulders. I don't know whose bright idea those damn things were but they made everybody look weird and top-heavy. A woman I worked with liked that football player look. She was overweight and had the fashionable Big Hair and her big shoulders on top, but she wore tight leggings below the enormous jacket, and she had very small feet. So she always looked like she was balancing her big top half on these teensy feet and would fall right over if you gave her a little shove. Not a good look, IMO.

of all four granddaughters wearing clogs with our party dresses back in the early 1980s.

Maybe early 70’s.
I think I may have had one too.

I dyed some long white Chainette fringe a rainbow gradient looks cool as shit.

Just for you- the ultimate fringe moment:

Some serious fringe. Loved it.

bought another one but it wasn’t half as neat as the one that got stolen. I had sewn special and cool buttons on the one that got stolen and was just sick. Still miss it.

Well, mostly gone.

Barnum was right.

Why do guys wear this? I'll never know. Women think it's stupid.

pay extra to have your jeans look like crap. I ordered a pair of jeans. When I got them it said to dry clean them. dry clean my jeans. NO WAY. I sent them back.

I actually see them even more in JH than in HS.
And, it's a 100% girl fashion. I have never seen one of the boys with that look.

shower caps OUTSIDE in public.

As a national park ranger I had one of those straw hats in summertime and to keep it from being destroyed in rain, had to buy these covers for them, in the shape of the hat, it fit well but I always thought of them as shower caps for my hat.

rain coverings we would wear over the scarves. Can't remember what they were called.

It seems that there was a transition from hats to scarves in the 50s and 60s which is when I recall seeing/using those rain bonnets.

And it showed me why I need to stay away from the general public because they are at their worst when on vacation. It taught me more about people than the wildlife and property I was there to teach them about.

I always thought they looked ridiculous.

would go away. They are absurd but not as hideous as clogs.

stage pf my life.

Strengthened my ankles.

About 2 in thick high heels were my speed. 👍

This one isn't currently a trend, but I'm sure it will be back: Big hair, 60's and 80's.

80s style big hair, not 60s style. You had to use hair spray to get the look.

My big mullet mowhawk hair but it’s now got skunk stripes of shimmery white/ silver in it. Looks almost like crystal.

It’s been every unnatural color that exists, however I stopped dying it because I wanna watch it turn white/ silver.

She loves it. Although it is more white, but it’s just a perfect and total white, so I do call her Sterling.

Both garments are unnatural in every way.

… for guys.
Polyester pants
Plaid pants

Yikes!!

I wore one for my sixth grade school photo.
Fairly cringey in hindsight.

Fashionably yours,

Still wear it.

Fashion is for people who don't have style.

I had a worsted wool blue pin stripe.
I wore either gray or burgundy shoes. Never brown.
I wore a different pair of gray with a gray suit, black on black. Beige linen with the pale gray double breasted.
I had a pair of medium brown faux alligator I wore with my olive green suit.
Yeah, I had a lot of shoes back then. All Euro cut slip-on dress shoes.
When I started traveling extensively and doing most of my work in actual operating sites, I quit wearing suits & sport coats. So, the shoes became of low value.
I gave them away about 10 years ago.

I've got some beautiful dress shoes, bagged up in a closet; haven't worn them in years. Need to get off my dead ass and give them away, as you did. Got a bunch of neckties I need to pass on, as well.

Sounds like you knew how to dress. I'm a big fan of cordovan shoes.

and also wide-wale corduroy pants.

always got the weird shiny look on the seat.

No cords, but I LOVED my elephant bell bottoms. I thought they were so cool. I wouldn't mind wearing them again.

when walking and nobody could tell if I had shoes on or not.

with cleavage down to the pelvis. Let them go nude if they are that determined to show every bit of cellulite (because it isn't the size "2's" who wear these "fashions."

When I see these women, all I can think of is that old meme: "It's gonna blow!!" (She's gonna blow!)

No, I'm not body-shaming--as I have nothing to be self-righteous about. But...Let them go nude if they wish and save the fabric.

underpants on. Is that in style?

end.

We're going on decades.

Gross!

They are great for swimming and sunbathing and dry very quickly.

Who says they are declining in popularity?

People should wear whatever they want and what is comfortable for them. Fashion is just an excuse for others to judge and be judged.

wear to be "fashionable" whether they look good in it or not. It soon falls out of favor. And you will have to buy new fashions. It keeps the clothing industry running. Style.is something that stays fairly constant. My wedding dress was fashionable in 1979. but not today, My Juliet veil that wore is not fashionable today. Even though they are beautiful. no one would wear them today. I think men have it easier in style vs. fashion. It is not an excuse to judge others. Style never goes out. Fashion does and is meant to.

Fashion. I make my own damn style with clothes I like from any era and I make it work. I get quite a few compliments too.

at the store decide to bring out. and call the seasonal fashions. Or if you are like us you can make your own. But face it most people do not have the time and energy to do that.But they can pick fashionable outfits that work with their jobs, body type and age.

Get patterns for what I want and modify them

You can add stuff tweak it and have something banging and totally unique.

in also. Most of my "teacher"s clothing" I gave to an organization that help abused women to go on job interviews.I helped them with their hair and makeup, and accessories.At the time, I weighed 90 lbs. so HS girls could wear also. I am retired and buy more relaxed items.

Style = I like wearing this.

Fashion = I want everybody to see me in this.

: hug:

remember the MuuMuu? omg!

my grandmother. It has a Polynesian floral print on it, She must have a ton over in her house as she wears a different one every day for about two weeks.

belted waistline. It is full cut.

My grandmother wore housedresses all the time. Similar but with a waistline. Generally the prints weren't as gaudy as the MuuMuus were, either.

It’s spelled muu muu?

I thought it was spelled moo moo.

…to fit a cow.

Prof positive why social activities should never, ever, become fashion designers.

1970’s knee length pants.

Also the 1970’s color palette ugh.

Who thought avocado snot green, baby shit brown with bright ass orange would look good is beyond me.

Or teal and mauve were the 80’s palette I remember because Harford mall became all teal and mauve in the 80’s and it stayed that palette until the aughts, lol
