when i was a child, i saw old photos of my mom in 80s fashion, which to me was hideous. i couldn't believe she would have done that to herself. i then became *paranoid* - what fashions of the day would *i* one day look back on like 'i cant believe i used to wear that'? 1

I've lived through at least a half dozen major cultural style shifts. I always thought I was immune to fashion bubbles to be honest. But, without exception, I look back at old photos and shake my head.

A few years before the pandemic there was a pastel plaid in men's fashion. It will not be looked back on favorably.

I feel like the 80s was a particularly unique blackspot for women's fashion.

Is this why you have a lot of pictures of you wearing no clothes? Can’t have clothes out of style if you’re not wearing any
