    Maybe fashion is just…unicyclical.

    (I’ll see myself out, but I’m also here all week).

    Maybe it’s the teens from 2006 who dressed like those in 1973?

    Jeans and a plain t-shirt must be the preferred outfit for time travelers—you could fit in during any period in the last 90 years.

      Read the Time Travel stories of Fritz Leiber.

      One of the things he talks about is how theaters would be the best place to put a time machine. No one would think it strange that someone in Elizabethan clothing is chatting with an astronaut.

        Yeah—I picked 90 years because that’s about when t-shirts started to be acceptable as outerwear, but the actual garments are older.

    We dressed like this in the 80s and 90s, too, and still do. Despite all the various fashion movements over time, my experience is that most people dress like this most of the time. The fashion of simple comfortable clothing changes very slowly.

    Isn’t 2006 a bit oddly specific? How were they dressed in 2005 and 2007?

      Well in 2005 I don’t know about teens, but I do know that douchy 20 year olds had frosted tips and popped collars. Thats how you knew someone was an entitled dick.

    No. The teens from 2006 were dressed like the ones from 1973. Order of incidence.

    There was kind of a retro thing at the time; bell bottoms came back for girls, carpenter jeans were in for boys…his shoes and her socks would have been out of style in '06 but other than that yeah.

    I’ve been seeing guys wearing their pants below the butt since the 1990s.
