EarlJibbs Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 I went out shopping with/for Mrs Earl Jibbs the other day. At the larger stores like JC Penny, and even at Target all we really could find were clothes from the 80's. Everyone else running into this? I guess it has been a long time since we went shopping because it seemed to come out of nowhere. High waist jeans? High waist acid wash jeans for that matter? How do you feel about this?

Guest Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 I deeply miss my clothes from the 60s, hahaha. (The 70s not so much) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
char713 Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 Grateful that I never shop at places that focus too heavily at being trendy. High-waist jeans look just okay on some people, GOOD on no one. EarlJibbs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkstpaul Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 (edited) Wall Street Journal covered this topic pretty thoroughly about a month ago. Multiple fashion houses went with the same trend of 80's throwback. Doesn't bother me much. I survived the 80's.

Bini Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 The fashion forward crowd and trends have been 80's for awhile now. It's not new. It's actually rolling into 90's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bini Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 As for high waist attire. I think some women can pull it off beautifully. I like the 50's high waist garments. Very classy and feminine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very classy and feminine.Oh, I agree. Most of my skirts are high-waisted. It's just the pants (some cuts, not all) that are the problem. Jeans are the worst for it, the fabric isn't that forgiving of the complicated and highly-varied waist to hip ratios found on women, nevermind hip to thigh, waist to rear, etc. Backroads 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightSG Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 Why do the 1950s never seem to come back? You know, when men didn't whine about having to wear a tie to work, baseball caps were for baseball, and all hats were removed indoors.

EarlJibbs Posted September 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 I have seen some 90's coveralls in the store. A lady actually wore some to work, I couldn't believe my eyes. I work in an office, and cannot understand why someone would think that is okay to wear . I liked the neon colors of the 90's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 I decided awhile ago to wear what I like, fashion be darned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bini Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 I'm with Eowyn. I wear what I like and feel best in. Half of the time, it apparently, follows trends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
