. Hopefully, there will be no nostalgic return of the 80s!

At least men still wore suits and ties in the 70s! Now the 80s, sweat pants, spandex, leggings, ultra shorts for men, preppies, all that was formal wear. Hopefully, there will be no nostalgic return of the 80s!

Seriously, how many of you actually dressed like that in the 80s?
You're spot on. That was MTV video pop star stuff. Not many real-world people dress that way. The thing many did do in the '80s that didn't age well was the Miami Vice look. I fortunately intuitively knew I was't cool, would never be cool and would look worse trying - so boring staid was me then and now.
... Would that they still fit...
It's when your leather belts shrink that it gets infuriating. I just tried to put on one of my old gunbelts and it's shrunk good 4 inches.Leave clothes in the closet long enough and they shrink. That'll happen.
Not so much the spandex, leggings, and/or parachute pants, but more than a few classmates were into the punk rock scene when I went to high school in the late-70s, and they would have fit right into those two photos.Seriously, how many of you actually dressed like that in the 80s?

...hippies in the truest sense were never more than a smelly minority ...
What made people "hippies in the truest sense"? And who gets to decide?
Remember when "made in Japan" meant cheap and shoddy?
