Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.

70s poo poo looks uncomfortable as poo poo man. Everybody is all hot and sweaty and hairy af and wrapped in tight polyester poo poo. Fuckin gross rear end hair product and layer cake makeup. Shits like a sweaty itchy spacesuit musk forest and on top of that people are doing ludes and rush and crappy low quality cocaine which just makes your clothes feel tighter and more uncomfortable. I mean just bleh let’s make ourselves feel terrible to look just ugly enough.

2010-present is going to be a strong contender. 30 year old guys wearing skinny jeans, long-line tees, and Nike high-tops are not going to look good through the lens of history (or through any other lens for that matter).

Probably started getting bad c. 2008 and crested around 2011. The deep-V was Ed Hardy for skinny guys.

... What if I'm wearing bootcut jeans and a standard v-neck tee with adidas high-tops?

Oh god I forgot about bootcut jeans. "Let's bring back bellbottoms but call them something else" seems like a prank idea that never should have worked, and yet, somehow

Wait bootcut is flared? maybe these are straight-leg, they definitely don't have a flare at the bottom. IDK, my wife dresses me, possibly like a retard it sounds like

Especially for formal menswear. Boxy 3-button suits with cuffed pants and wide ugly pattern ties

I think men’s shoulder pads and very angular, almost triangular shirts and flowing, airy, loose pants will be popular in the 2020s. :fella:

Gotta go with the mid to late 90s. I'd say that's the start of when people just stopped trying.

tbh those look pretty rad, despite knowing they probably smell like ball sweat and Winston cigarettes.

In the '90s we used to make merciless fun of 80s fashion but in retrospect it's aged a lot better than the shapeless baggy bland look of 1994-98.

When were drop-crotch pants popular? Because it's that time span.

Seriously, if you go out in public with those things on, you should be shot on sight.
