FASHIONS DO GO FULL CIRCLE.

My Granddaughter and her young man came round to our house for a visit.
After she had introduced us to the lad I noticed his Attire.

He had tight fitting black jeans,that made his legs look like chicken legs.
He wore a long black jacket which came to about 4 inches above his Knees.

My Wife noticed me having a good look, with a Wry smile on my face,and she said,
"Do you remember when you dressed like that?".

At that time I was thinking to myself,"Surely To God I Didn't look like that" !!!.
I Did .I was like him many years ago ,with my Finger Tip Jacket,Drain Pipe Trousers, String Tie and my Brothel Creeper Shoes,and I thought I WAS,
,The Bees Knees,.
When I think back now I Looked More Like MAX WALL..

Has Anyone seen any Styles/Fashions you wore when you were younger ,that have came back in fashion ???. .

 

I hope the "hanging off the bum cheeks, crotch at knee-level, y-fronts on full display" trouser fashion dies out soon and never comes back.

I've lived through cheesecloth and leggings two times now. Loved the first both times, I think I'm too old for the second now. I don't think leggings look good on even the youngest and skinniest, actually.

Funny how Crimplene has never reappeared.

 

it definitely goes around. Wedges shoes for example...

 

I'm glad they come around again...Fashions i mean not loin cloths...because that's the only time i'm actually in 'fashion'.... mind you don't think i'd get away with purple hair,cerise pink footless tights ,Docs and my dads cast off jumpers anymore eh

 

I hope you did the right thing, and told him how much you appreciated him dressing according to the fashion of your youth, in your honour, and then digging out photos to prove that his new trendy outfit has been around before

I once told off a lad in the kebab shop for such fashion. I told him firmly and loudly, 'pull your trousers up lad, didn't your mother teach you how to dress yourself? This is a food establishment we don't want to see your 'behind' when we're about to eat'. The chaps behind the counter were in stitches, and this lad, taken aback, did in fact pull his trousers up.

 

Good to see stiletto heels back in fashion again. I LOVED stilettos, still think they are the most flattering footwear for women.

I sure hope that the Seventies doesn't come around again....

 

I'm waiting for the new 17th Century.

 

What about the Italian Style ?.
Winkle Picker shoes, same colour as the suit , Short Jacket, (Bum Ticklers) ,
Trousers that (just ) lay on top of the shoes, (No creases on the trousers),
Billy Eckstine shirt, big collar , Slim Tie , Cool !!, Till it rained, and the cheap winkle picker pointed shoes Turned up at the toes like a Leprechauns Footwear .

 

If the early 80s come round again, tough. I'm not sitting for hours in a bath of ice cold water waiting for my jeans to shrink to skin tight again.

 

Remember for a short time from about 1997 to 2001 jeans went completely out of fashion with the younger generation, but now they're back as strong as ever!

I think leggins made a short come back, still people wear them.
