You can’t fail to have noticed that todays fashions mean that people wear just about anything?

Here’s a little suggestion; when you are next in town on a shopping trip treat yourself to a nice coffee at your favourite coffee house and do a little ‘fashion watching’. Take a look at the people you see and mentally catalogue their clothing based on the era from which the fashion originates, 1960s, 70s etc.

It looks like almost anything goes these days. You’ll see a lot of young people wearing skinny tight drainpipe jeans that were very fashionable in the 1960s. These might be worn with a pair of brothel creeper shoes or maybe a pair of trainers. And on the top they may be wearing a hoodie, a sports jacket, a leather bomber jacket or just about anything else.

We are lucky to be living at a time when fashion are varied, interesting and sometimes a little bit odd. I saw one young lady wearing a ball gown along with a leather biker jacket and a huge pair of ex military paratrooper boots and a pair of worn and torn fishnet stockings.

This eclecticism is particularly apparent when you look at the jeans people are wearing. You will see everything from skin tight 1960s style drainpipes through to super baggy skater pants or slouchy Fat Face Jeans.

But there are some fashions which I hope we’ll never see again. Do you remember Dallas and those enormous 1980s shoulder pads? Jackets became increasingly wide and hair became increasingly big throughout the 1980s. And who can remember ski pants or leggings as some call them? These were originally worn under another garment like a skirt or a pair of shorts but it soon became fashionable, in the 1980s, to wear them on their own.

Just as I wrote the last line (sat here at a café with my laptop) I looked up and say a young woman walking down the road wearing a pair of leggings. This just seems to show that fashions will return even if they were really bad the first time round. So I’m now planning to grow my hair into a mullet and I’m on the lookout for some 1980s style stonewashed denim jeans and a matching jacket and shirt.
