Whatever decade it was where baseball players started letting their pants droop around their ankles. Real men wear knickers.

Viola said:Going to be contrary and nominate the '20s - long single strand necklaces down to your navel? Dresses like bags so you have to be tall to not look like you're lost in a pillowcase? Totally unforgiving to a woman who's figure isn't thin and straight up and down.
And, super-short ladies' haircuts really demand pixie-like facial structure or it is not very pretty at all.
Or maybe I'm just jealous '20s fashions look so very wretched on me. But its the decade *I* can wear the least.

V.C. Brunswick said:I absolutely hated the baggy hip hop pants of the '90s. To me they looked like clown pants. Thank God that it appears to have finally gone out of style. Then there's the shorts that can't decide whether it wants to be short trousers or long shorts.

J B said:Not quite, unfortunately. At my community college, in California, I often see (mostly African-American) people wearing baggy jeans... I guess it's still popular here around L.A.

I second your nomination, Paisley. The first decade of this century has been nothing but a stale rehash of a rehash of '60s-'70s-'80s styles. The colors are either blah or overdone, the cuts are neither becoming nor new, and the overall impression given is that we're in decline.

BinkieBaumont said:"I have noticed in the last year the number of young folk sporting H U G E tattoos, Males and females, although I think the ones on ladies legs look most ghastly, Its only a matter of time before fashion dictates that the "Tattoo" is as dead as Maddona's fingerless Lace gloves."
Very refreshing to hear this!! :eusa_clapHemingway Jones said:The one thing that I've notice in the 2000s, is that people seem to be less judgmental, at least here in the big eastern cities. It seems that fedoras and suits and everything else garners less quizzical looks than it used to. Hats are also much more common here in Boston than they were even five years ago, everything from hipsters wearing stingy brims and bowlers to big outback fedoras. I get far more "Nice hat" comments than Indiana Jones references now. I think the 2000s have opened people's minds a bit.
