When wearing sloulderpats was really fashion?

I hate the pictures when mu parent were teenagers because of this. Shoulderpats, glasses bigger than the whole face, trousers that began at the tits... Didn't they realize that this wasn't cool?

Unlike nowadays, being cool meant jack for shit back then. People accepted each other and the world was a much happier place

 

:agree:

 

Summer, if you only knew who and what you are agreeing with. But since you don't, it makes it that much funnier.

 

it was cool at the time, that's why so many people did it....

 

We've gone from trousers that started at the tits to ones that hang below the crack of the ass. Now that's some progress.

.

 

20 years from now, youngsters will be asking why people today thought they were so cool with their ass hanging out the back of their pants.

I call shoulderpads the robocop look :tongue:

 

What about the skydiver/parachute look back in the early 70s?

.

 

I actually think this looks awesome. Reminds me of Annie Hall...

 

Do you honestly believe that?

Lets see

Remember happy days?
I know it was just a show, but the Fonz was cool and because of that everyone "accepted" him.

Not real enough or late enough?

How about in the 50's when you had the Rockers and Mods?

Sorry, but fassion various fasions and being judged by being in fasion or having possesions like a car has been around longer then our parents and even most if not all of our grand parents. I mean it can easily been traced back to the 50's if not earlier. In some ways it has been part of life from the begining of time but mass media such as telvision has sky rocketed. However, in some degree people have always been judged by wealth and fassion is a way of showing wealth.

As far as the topic, our kids or grand kids will look at what we wear and laugh just the same. I mean look at 80's fassion.




Or even some of the things from the 90's.

Who knows what they will laugh at in another 25 years.
Maybe kids 25 years from now will be in their silver jumpsuits laughing at the fact that we wore natural fibers.

The fact is, there are some things I look at that I wore 10 years ago and think to myself "WHY?" Some of the haircuts I had and have no idea what possesed me. So yeah, our parents dressed funny and our kids will say say the same thing about their parents.

 

Well if you thought they looked bad, then I wouldn't want you to see a picture of me in my purple crushed velvet elephant pants and matching halter LOL! I didn't know you were a fashion diva.

 

True.

Hell, I laugh at people now for that reason. Looks rediculous, exaggerated and unfortunate.
