Women's fashions

JeffreyEpspeen

I'm pretty sure when I started secondary school circa 2001 is when things like leggings/yoga pants/etc. started becoming common. Unless I only started noticing because I was going through puberty - but I don't think that's the case.

My question is to people 35 and over.

How could you tell before jeans got tighter and leggings/yoga pants became common that a woman had a nice derriere?

Just look at 90s fashions in general. Baggy football jerseys, baggy jumpers, baggy jeans. Everything left to the imagination.

I'm a bit of an ass man like Cosmo Kramer and Larry David so one part of me thinks I would've hated growing up at any other time in humanity but the other part of me thinks it would be easier not to get distracted all the time.

I think 1998 - 2000 there were bootcut jeans for women. That's when I was finishing school. I think skinny jeans started coming in the early 2000s. Now skinny jeans seem to be going out of fashion. Girls are wearing 90s style jeans like when I was in school.

Is it fashion or anti-fashion, I have no idea. But something like Levi's 501s look great on girls.

Anyway if she's got hips she can wear anything and look alright

The good thing about loose/baggy jeans up to early/mid-00s was you'd see lots of lovely lady arse crack.



That is a thing of the past now, but I can console myself with the tight pants they wear these days, it's sometimes like they're wearing nothing at all.

In the early 80's they were just called Leggings, nothing fancy, so don't forget most new fancy things that are just invented clothes wise are just recycled things from old fogeys

Were they as flattering to the arse, though?

Watching women these days is is like poetry in motion sometimes. The female form can be spectacular.

You see my young Padwan, beauty is in the of the beholder, and at my age everything is beautiful, but to be honest, no it's like today, back in the 80's if you seen Alexi Sayle in speedos, you'd probably die, so what I'm trying to say is a sack of spuds looks like a sack of spuds no matter what year, some people can get away with them others not

Early 00's there was a trend of ladies showing off there underwear or was it just not use to the lower waist?

shaveAbullock

It's fascinating times when women are now asked what's the occasion for dressing up if they put on a cheap pair of denim jeans.

Some seem to forgo underwear these days.

DrPhilG

I remember when leggings were always accompanied by a long jumper or a short dress. Anything else would have been considered scandalous or slutty. Then the jumpers got shorter and shorter until suddenly it dawned on me that it had become acceptable to walk around in something so figure hugging that you could see every inch of every curve of the arse in question.

I was surprised and delighted in equal measure.

I love when the curvy girls wear them. IDC what anybody says. It's a hill I'm willing to die on.

The amount of times my ex gf must've caught me staring at a girl's arse because of this ****e.

She used to post about me and get advice on the relationship issues sub here LOL.

I can't ****ing help it. I've got two eyes.

I'm reminded of Billy Connolly's suggestion regarding fat birds and leggings...

JeffreyEpspeen

I don't mind fat girls wearing leggings. Not fat like the woman in that picture, that's too fat, but child bearing hips are grand. Curvy girls arses look great in leggings TBH.

I like my husband to wear my undies , he doesn't seem to mind but prefers all cotton . Where can I get all cotton thongs with a decent bit of coverage in the front . Sloggi used to do them but have switched to a synthetic material which he doesn't find comfy .

Have you tried Victoria Beckham?


She likes her husband to wear her underwear too.

You waited 3 years to make that post, impressive! I can hardly wait for 2023!

Leggings are now out of fashion and tight tracksuit pants are in. You don't see as much curves but it exaggerates folds, so more ass crack and camel toe.
I think it's a better look.

Arses weren't a turn on in the 90s. Bowl cuts, mildly yellow teeth and nipple protrusions were all the rage.

Washboard stomachs too! The fascination with the arse is a recent enough thing, especially the Kardashian variety.

I think it is a result of increasing obesity.

Washboard stomach = slender, which means the ass is usually more slender too. Exceptions are there, but rare.

More fat means bigger asses and the high waisted pants are there to cover the lower belly fat.

Just give him a pair of your regular undies and tell him to wear them back to front.

Instant arse floss and half a yard of fabric at the ‘front’ to cover his shrivelled up manhood.

Well, handy to know where to park your bike.

The op should have been on Dollymont strand on Sunday, a fair few Brazilians who seem to believe they were still on Copacabana beach and were dressed accordingly.

I am getting old because I keep thinking how are they not cold in that tiny bikini

+1 This stuff goes in trends alright. The 80's were more about the legs, where the bikinis had waist lines that ended in the armpits. Then the 90's it was the washboard stomachs to the fore. Arses weren't in the mainstream mix beyond outliers like "Baby's got back" and Jennifer Lopez and much of it was coming from African American/Latino culture. Then arses got big(literally) and it went mainstream. It's also easier to fake in photos and selfies and the like with carefully set up angles, washboard abs not so much.

Young women seem to be all about showing the underboob now. In my day, a bit of sideboob was considered riskié.

farmchoice

for me the mid to late nineties were in most respects a brilliant time to be young.
class music, class sport, society in Ireland was in almost every respect improving, troubles over, church power collapsing, free third level education. the tiger was starting to roar but the excess and vulgarity were still years away. money in your pocket and the drinking was epic and constant as a piss head this heaven for me, i have never been top at anything but by Jesus i was a grade 1 drinker) it was the last hurrah for the smoker, i was a B&H man, ah the memories.



the one massive downside was the woman clothes. the finest of woman went around in doc marten boots, baggy jeans an a large oversized black jumpers.
mind you there was very little body shaming or pressure to be thin because no one knew what anyone looked like under the baggy clobber, and this went for men as well as woman.
life was smokey pubs, smokey concerts smokey festivals, by the end of the decade the first of the smokey friends weddings, baggy suits, baggy dresses, nobody gave a flying F about anything but the next night out.



i suppose its the same for every generation, Ah to be young!!

what a time to be alive. our grandfathers had to be contented with a bit in ankle. We get bums so encased in lycra that they may as well be nude.

Floppybits

Those flesh coloured leggings will cause a crash, they give the impression the wearer is not wearing anything. Do ladies know that some of the leggings are see thru?

I remember the 90's was all rock chicks in baggy clothing, then things changed about mid 90's probably more to do with the spice girls and then it was crop tops and baggy trousers with the tops of the knickers on show and gradually things have just got tighter and tigher.

castletownman

The best thing about having to queue into places more often than before now is when your behind some woman in the aforementioned leggings with a perfectly-sculpted ass.

Although the drawback of the mask wearing policy is you can't decipher whether she is good looking or not

That's why us older folk are better story tellers, we had a lot of practice using our imaginations

Anything that showcased their legs,tits,and smile.It that order.

I think leggings are ghastly. What I reckon is really hot is a chick wearing a shirt thing that covers her hips and short shorts so as you can't tell if she's got anything on at all under the waist.

shaveAbullock

Leggings are out of fashion now but it takes time for these trends to phase out.

One of the many traumatic things about middle age is initially labouring under the misguided notion that you will only see high-waisted jeans once in your lifetime

paulcorkgolf

With trends spanning from ripped tights and biker jackets to polished oversized blazers and poof skirts, and style icons ranging from Joan Jett to Joan Collins, it was one of the most eclectic decades in fashion.

the beer revolu

I'm seeing a lot of young women wearing big, luxurious, wool overcoats.
They look like they've stolen their mother's best coat!
Seems particularly popular with Asian women.

chopperbyrne

I was a teenager in the mid 90's. The era of Adidas tracksuits.

For a few glorious weeks, full length tearaway bottoms were a thing.

At first the girls wore whatever underwear was at the top of their drawer, but they very quickly started wearing much sexier underwear, with perfectly smooth legs.

Like all good things, it didn't last.

When you read back this thread, it is a bit creepy.hasn’t aged very well, even though it’s not that old.

Yuk!

Jimbob1977

The early 90s "Beverly Hills 90210" conservative jeans have made a return. Kinda baggy with high waists. Levis, Wrangler, Pepe style.

Fashion is cyclical

1960s: short skirts

1970s: maybe a bit longer, with ankle warmers and disco gear.

1980s: baggy sweaters and jeans

1990s: maybe a bit grungy. Tracksuits. Not unlike 1980s.

2000s: whale tail.

2010s and beyond: leggings, jeggings, short skirts, the return of big jeans. An eclectic mix.

The biggest change has been derrieres

1990s: Does my bum look big in this?

2010s: Implants for a massive derriere.

That was the beauty of it.

Going on the pull, you got the thrill of the hunt as well as a lucky bag at the end, who knew what was coming out of all those layers and folds.

Sight of a black bra strap drove us wild as young bucks
