Fashion Advice for 2020

[Auntie Biache']

Returning trends...no, this generation is not the first to wear stupid clothes. All of us older women did it before you, so get off your fllippin' soap box.

Like
Mom jeans
Silk scarves
Peasant blouse
Oversized blazers
Shoulder pads (not shoulder pad build-up)
Denim on demim, if you know how to do it
Scrunchies (I knew if I used them long enough, they'd make a come-back)
Bomber jackets
Clogs (...dusting off old clogs)
High Cut Swimsuits

Never said you/we aren't entitled to our opinion. I'm saying I believe women who chose to wear 'fashion statements' do so because it makes them happy. Just like we did when we were younger.

Just responding "in general". I don't feel like you were imposing your opinion on me.

Oh good. I can never tell when I'm in a real online flame war or not... Kain99/lowgrade fevers/meds vs. no meds... still scarred...

LOL@Kain99 Wonder what ever happened to her. Well, not really.

You forgot culottes.

Me? I didn't like them the first time around...or the second....

I can honestly say, I have never owned or worn a pair.

I can honestly say, I have never owned or worn a pair.

I bought a pair, but every time I put them on, I hated them. I probably put them on a half dozen times before I had to accept the fact that they just weren't working for me. They went out of style, came back, and I actually bought another pair. These were the comfy, jersey ones, though. I wore them around the house. They still looked hideous, but they were comfortable.

I had to Bing to remember what culottes were.

The fashion don't I remember most was skin tight jeans that we had to lay down on the bed to get them buttoned and zipped. We all looked like human sausages.

I was born with football blocker broad shoulders... so if I wore shoulder pads I would give Dorothy from the Golden Girls competition for "Best Doorjam duster on walkthru" award.

It's a good thing you knew that they didn't work and wear them in public. Unlike many others, you saved the rest of the world of that debacle.

I remember doing that in the '80's with mom jeans, which are back....crap.

Like most trends, not for everyone. So, you looked like you had shoulder pad build-up, even when you didn't?

I did that, even in size zero.

My niece and her friends have been wearing them for about a year now.

Yep.

 

[vraiblonde]

I think younger women have a lot more leeway in their fashion choices than someone my age. A 20-something in a short skirt and crop top with combat boots is adorable; a 56 year old in that outfit not so much. Very few older women can pull off youth fashion.

I'm heading out soon in my long sweater, black jeans with boots.

 

[nobody really]

i just got off the new York and company site. Are puffy shoulders and sleeves coming back? good grief. that's a trend that needs to be buried.

We are about to hit 60 degrees or so this afternoon... smell ya later....

You have a point! There were the elephant-sized bell bottoms that I used to wear with the 4" thick platform ugly ass shoes. One pair I had were double zippers in the front and I had had to lay down on the bed to zip them up they were so tight. (I wasnt large, either! Size 9)
