    Which decade is the worst in terms of style?

    I like Sarah Palin's glasses. I mean like this:

    Which decade is the worst in terms of style?

    I liked those granny/John Lennon glasses. I'm not fond of the rectangular, thick-framed glasses that are in now.

    Which decade is the worst in terms of style?

    It might have taken the 80s awhile to catch up to you, FM. But at some point, the god-awful autumn color scheme of the 70s gave way to pastels, cooler colors and crisp white. The bowl hairdos got a shampoo and a cut. Sideburns, pant legs, skirt lengths, earrings and afros took on more sensible...

    Forgotten Man, all that stuff except for the glasses and shoes sounds more like the 1970s than the 1980s.

    Which decade is the worst in terms of style?

    Great points, JimWagner. With all that in mind, I stick with my nomination of the 2000s for the following reasons: For many, there is no clear distinction between work and off-duty clothes, office and clubbing clothes, workout and evening out clothes, junior and adult clothes, etc. It's...

    The "Pleasing Phrase" Thread

    Aught-(number) for a year whose third digit is zero. I even used it today: "Just like we used to do it back in aught-three."

    Which decade is the worst in terms of style?

    I'm surprised at all the 80s hating. Many of the things people complain about here--the scruffy look, polyester, overexposed flesh, low-slung pants, and overall dowdiness--were passe in the 80s. There were some crazy looks, but IME, almost everyone recognized that these were costumes worn by...

    All applications accepted! "Easy peezy," especially when uttered by a grown man.

    Rollers to avoid (aka Rollers of Death)

    Miss Jess, your hair sounds like mine. I think those curlers work best with thin hair. I use a curling iron.

    behaving like a lady and being treated like a lady.........

    There are already quite a few threads on this. Try a search with etiquette, manners or chivalry in the title, and you'll find hours' worth of reading.

    My (non-Mexican) parents say that, too. I always chalked it up to bad memory.

    Which decade is the worst in terms of style?

    I nominate the 2000s for the following reasons: The three most popular colors of the era were black, black and black. Pant widths were all over the place, but the most popular length was dragging the ground. The comb: what's that? Jelly bellies and muffin tops should be breakfast foods...

    Hints of the 1980's

    I remember most people in the 80s dressing middle-of-the-road. There were extremes, but most people didn't adopt them.

    Hints of the 1980's

    Oh, definitely. Horizontal stripes, high and wide necklines, side gathers, longer shirt tails, and white collars on men's colored shirts (the Lee Iaccoca look).

    Paranormal Activity

    I just watched The Orphanage, a Spanish movie about a family who moves into the building that was the orphanage where the mother grew up. Their plans to turn it into a home for disabled children are derailed after their son goes missing and strange things begin to happen in the house. This...

    What Happened to Chivalry?
