Dressing forward or backwards?

[Jace]

What's the craziest fashion trend you've ever followed?

I don't follow fashion, but I do follow comedy and humorous things.

Beatte Karlson is pretty outrageous...

Wow! Far-out!

Years ago - pointy toe shoes. My foot was NEVER shaped like that.

 

[Flarbalard]

Pants.

 

[PamfromTx]

I can't believe I wore hot pants. Maybe once or twice, but still.

Only time I can remember following any kind of "fashion trend" was in Jr High. I tried to do the in-crowd thing for a few weeks, penny loafers, reversable belt, shirt with fruit loop, etc... didn't last.

I did once consider getting a Nehru jacket, but it seemed silly. Still does.

Hip hugger pants. I wish they were still in style. I never had a defined waist and jeans that fit my hips were always too tight at the waist. Hip huggers were perfect for me! Actually, I think they may be coming back...

Oh, Lawdy, I aspired to be a folk-singing hippy in college. The long hair, bangs to my eyelashes, ponchos and bellbottom jeans.

Then it was the po' boy shirts and low-slung pants.

Followed by miniskirts so short I could neither bend over nor scrunch down. I did have dynamite legs back then, so you'll have to forgive me for wanting to show 'em off.

Now, I have nothing to show off......

I don't know if it was weird...who else? wore crinolines..
And thnen...they were gone!

I was very happy with my hotpants, I loved that era.. I think I looked sensational in mine.. age 16 or 17 who wouldn't...

I was extremely thin and looked like a toothpick with hotpants.

I think my first fashion thing was a blue Beatle style jacket with a black velvet collar. Then latter on, elephant bells, and chambray shirts. Followed by the disco era vulgarity, into the man in black thing. Now, Don't too much care, comfort is king, but every once in while I still think it might be fun to dress up some.

Others probably think it weird but I have always loved the fashions of the first half of the 20th century.

Like this Zoot suit, the jacket is elongated. The car is circa 1937.

Note the wide bottom hems on the trousers, 22 inches.
The bicycle is older than the car, 1928.

Wide lapels, two tone, "Spectator" shoes,
fedora hat. Hercules is dated back to 1920.

The shirt collar is known as "The Penny Round,"
more wide bottomed trousers, 1934 Juke box.

Not all collar and tie, this is one of my
Aloha, or, Hawaiian shirts, the shoes are
of a 50's era fashion, called Gibsons.

In the 4th photo above, you can see my
jukebox behind me. Here's what it looks like.

Oh, I loved my crinoline. I'd wear 2 or 3 of them until my skirts stuck so far out I couldn't get through a door without touching.

Did you pin little jingle bells to your crinolines at Christmas?

Before my time... more in my mothers' Era...

Cut offs (jeans cut into shorts with fringe,) halter tops, and I had a leather fringed halter top in the 70's which was extremely low cut and revealing. (can't believe I wore that!) Of course I had the long hair center part and thick black mascara to complete the image. hahaha!

Turtleneck & bellbottom combo, complete with wide white belt.

Please tell me you didn't wear white shoes! hahaha!

You know, I wore higher heeled platform shoes and I do believe they might have had white panels on the sides! About 50 years ago, i.e. 1972. Yeah, pretty bad!

Eventually I wore what was in fashion, just had to wait for a year or two for the price to come down and by then it was out of fashion.

Must admit I wore the hot pants when they were fashionable. Since not much material was required, maybe they didn’t cost too much.

 

[Jackie23]

Mini skirts, back then I had the legs for them too...Precious Memories

 

[Ruthanne]

Mini skirts, hot pants, fishnet stockings, bell bottoms, fringed suede jacket, platform heels, long hair parted down the middle, suede boots and hat. Also tee shirts with peace sign.

 

[Sassycakes]

I wore mini-skirts all the time. It's funny because 20 yrs ago an old friend of mine called me and mentioned how much he liked me in my mini skirt and the short top I wore with it.
