gently caress that, cloaks are what need to come back. It's like a socially acceptable snuggie.

Oh, cloaks are around. Just stop by my old college campus and you'd see them. Sometimes in groups. I once saw a cloak boy stand in the back of a room where a LOTR movie was on TV and he mouthed every single line. Even mimicked facial expressions of the characters.

The reason cloaks should never be en vogue again is because they help us discern the cloak people from the non cloak people.

The popped collar trend in the mid 2000s wasn't too horrific in a purely fashion sense, but since it was exclusively sported by douches it was loving insufferable.

I remember the popped collar on izod shirts in the early 80s! (on jock douches)

fashion in the late '80s and the very early '90s had way too many colors, headbands, and terrible hair. voted late '80s in the poll

Ah yes the 80s, mankind was much more boxlike with jutting sharp corners back then.
Definitely don't make women or men like that anymore, I miss colors so bright that it felt like physical assault to look at someone and every conversation felt like trying to communicate to a angry peacock and a box that got stuck in the machine from "the fly"

The 70's, and I started to see jeans that ride really high come back into style; it's only a matter of time until leopard print clothing comes back in vogue.
80's is bad, but it's 80's bad, like it has this uncool consistency that just works with the rest of that era. The 70's looked like a everybody was wearing wall paper or tile floors

It's a teen show in the 90s trying to promote neo-70s revival fashion and failing spectacularly. The late 90s had a bunch of that, as well as Nu-Metal, Europop, Techno, and what can only be described as "beige fart" in terms of American casual/office wear.

Not much fun
Early 2000s just had some weird styles. Big ugly ugg boots, those tiny shrug cardigans, big studded belts. Hair was bad too. Everyone had those really chunky highlights so you had a stripy head. Plus it was when emo was starting to take off so there was that whole mess.

Oh and let’s not forget boho chic. White girls in maxi dresses and straw hats.

Ah yes Maxi Dresses. Designed for tall and very slender women, worn by white girls auditioning to be the pumpkin carriage in their community theater production of Cinderella. So unflattering.

Hellenism was tight, the correct answer is when every man in Europe wore white tights.

I'm not opposed to bad taste. No taste is what I'm against. And the early 2000s had no taste.

Good taste doesn't really exist. It's a subjective concept.

This is true. The 2000s were trying so hard to be laid-back in the wake of 9/11 and the end of post-USSR prosperity that it circled around to being really uptight and joyless where the lack of taste was itself the taste. Even so, late 90s was just... there was this ugly confusion behind it, like sleeping on a super-comfy old couch that smells of sweat and farts. It's this weird cultural dead zone where style got dementia.
