How clothing hasn't changed!

Clothing hasn't really changed since the 80's, we have gone back to that era of style where your wearing no lense thick glasses, shaved sideburns with long fringe, leather jacket over old addidas bright blue zip up, sister's skinny jeans and converse... kids nowadays think this look is new and hip (hipsters) but this style has been done before, at least in the 90's we changed it up a bit with the age of nintendo and sega when it was cool to wear a sonic the hedgehog t-shirt and three quarter length shorts, wearing shorts was what the 90's was all about and watching Art Attack and wearing Ren and Stimpy pajamas!

Kids nowadays don't realise they are living in a revised era, its been done before Bjorn formerly known as Kevin, just because you use a Mac now to retouch your photography and you write your thoughts on a blog instead of a diary and playing synth in a band has been around a lot longer than you think Kevin!

I was sitting around temple bar the other week and the amount of lads walking around like they're fresh off a Flock of Seagulls music video is ridiculous! Have they ever seen a sci-fi film from the 80's, we're suppose to be wearing silver metallic outfits with tall styled hair and jackets with lcd monitors on them with little bleepy red and green lights going off! Instead we're going backwards! Did I watch Blade Runner for nothing! Marty McFly would be falling off his hover skateboard right now!

Skinny jeans are bleedin rapid.It is a sad thing that were going backwards with fashion...And 2011 is going to bring even more nostalgia in fashion with the "go go dress's" and dandys wearing suits and looking dapper.Very 60's.

It was never cool to wear sonic hedgehog t-shirts & three quarter length shorts.

Unless you think that looking like Kev & Perry is cool.

I distinctly remember it being 'cool' to wear flares/bellbottoms and platform shoes when I was in school in Canada in the late 90's.

That said, I'm not sure if that's because the 90's weren't as original as they thought, or that Canada was still stuck in the late 70's when the rest of the world was in the 90's.

Anyway, this decade in fashion seems to be all about revival. 80's isn't the only thing coming back, there's Steampunk (albeit, that's very rare), 20's and 50's looks influenced by shows like Boardwalk/Mad Men, etc.

I think every decade just kind of borrows from twenty years before and adds on.

Luckily I dont wear the clothes described, I go for the simple jeans and cool t-shirt look! Where did you get your clothes from ... the toilet store??

I liked the various clothes from each decade but I must say some of those from the 80's and 90's I'd be afraid to wear now. The other decades weren't half bad between the 60's and 70's style was good but the colours and design not mad on from those decades. Prefered the make up from those decades though than the ones in the 80's and 90's.

Skinny jeans for men is a no no no for women its fine they can carry it off.

FortuneChip · 22-02-2011 03:31PM

D'you remember that fella who was so good at fashion they had to shoot him?

"And, after all, what is a fashion? From the artistic point of view, it is usually a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months"

Oscar Wilde

WindSock · 22-02-2011 03:41PM

It has changed you just haven't noticed it. The 90's had a bit of a 70's revival with flares and platforms, but the fashion was still distinctly 90's, as now the 80's revival which is waning has a lot of its own distinctiveness. I think the 00's will be remembered for those horrible jeans that are faded around the knee areas.
And the stillettos that some women wear have reached ridiculous levels.

AnonoBoy · 22-02-2011 03:42PM

Can't wait until it's fashionable to dress like these guys again.

Riddle101 · 22-02-2011 04:29PM

I agree with what the OP saids. Fasion is somewhat a revised history. I mean in the 1960's leggings became a pit of a fasion trend, at least in America anyway. Then it sort of died down in the 70's but made a return in the 80's and early 90's. Then they went out of fasion again between the late 90's and early 00's but are back in fashion now. Also bell bottom jeans were fasionable around the 70's, but sort of got replaced by skinny jeans in the 80's and early 90's before making a return in the mid 90's and continue to be used, skinny jeans made a come back in the last 5 or so years as well. So it seems to be that fashion tends to repeat itself. Who knows maybe it might the time for parachute pants to come into fashion:D
