More boredom, perhaps. Nevertheless, there's never a shortage of
laughable attire. Here are some nominations from the last couple years.

Women's:
Knit sweaters (dusters?) with dangly floppy belts.
Acid–washed denim.
Those belts with double rows of holes. (There is a word, he thinks.

Dumb trend of the summer: flip–flops. At least the ones that
actually flip and flop.
Belly–baring. (Maybe it's the wave of the future, kind of like when
women first started displaying their ankles. But I suspect not.)
Men's:

Well, I kind of have to disagree (respectfully) with some of he predictions. In
the early '60s when roach killing, linoleum crushing, pointy spikes were
popular –– high clunky platform shoes from the '40s (or '90s) would have looked
foreign to the eye and everyone would have hated them.
And you sort of really can't think of shoes the way you think of other clothing
articles. Better to think of them as sculpture. So a shoe from almost any
period with strong sculptural qualities is likely to be admired.
Bare tummies really relate to a proportional thing with pants. So if pants are
riding to the hip –– the right little tie top or halter top can be really cute.
Styles come and go, and they often reference the past. So a lot depends on what
our "eye" has grown accustomed to, and what we accepted as fashion societally.
My instincts tell me that a new generation is likely to really reject piercings
and tattoos. But I have a strong feeling I won't be around to see if I'm
right. So some of you younger folks have to remember for me.

I agree with all but the following:
Tank tops and bootleg pants go back at least 30 years. I think they're
classic. Capri pants hit every 50 years apparently––they were very big in the
50s.
Anywhere there's snow and icy streets, low–heeled boots will survive. Less a
fashion item than a staple.
The stretchy Chico's clothing (which is not polyester, by the way) may not
survive because it's being aggressively knocked off, but the idea of a
collection of washable, packable knits has been around since Units. The concept
will be around for awhile because women who travel love it. Synthetics will
keep getting better and better.
Platforms seem to catch on every 30 years––40s, 70s, 00s. Like Arnold
Schwartzenegger, they'll be back.

New clothes designed to look like vintage clothes are probably the
stupidest idea to gain currency in the past decade.
I got a catalog from Urban Outfitters and it's full of brand–new t–shirts
for $24 that look like someone bought them at Dollar A Pound. Ditto
trucker camps. So now some rich suburban kid can spend a few hundred
dollars to look like he scoured Goodwill for clothes. And not interesting
vintage pieces, but tacky polyester blend crap from the 70s.
Karl Lagerfeld said recently that kitsch has gotten boring. I agree.

Not a whole lot there I see to hate in 20 years. Some things just

OK. Maybe particulars then. Pamela Anderson's horrible makeup sense
in the 1990's. Never in the history of the world has such a great
beauty succeeded so well in ruining what nature gave her by such
an egregious sense of makeup usage. Christina Aguilerra (sp?) too,
until recently, for some reason insisted on using makeup to literally
go out of her way to uglify her natural beauty.

dresses that combine both (betcha thought that dress in the Lubriderm
commercial was only a towel ... SUPRISE! The fashion's been a
permanent mainstay on the scene since '98 or so); tummy–baring outfits;
pants whose upper fringes are only inches away from the Promised Land
(to use Bill Maher's term); hip–hugging miniskirts; even barefoot fashion
(like Cameron Diaz did in late June).
Not a whole lot there I see to hate in 20 years. Some things just
look hot forever, like the fashions from the late 1960's (well, except
for the part about the minidresses looking like maternity smocks).
OK. Maybe particulars then. Pamela Anderson's horrible makeup sense
in the 1990's. Never in the history of the world has such a great
beauty succeeded so well in ruining what nature gave her by such
an egregious sense of makeup usage. Christina Aguilerra (sp?) too,
until recently, for some reason insisted on using makeup to literally
go out of her way to uglify her natural beauty.

I've hated the baggy pants look since the beginning. There's something

New clothes designed to look like vintage clothes are probably the

trucker camps. So now some rich suburban kid can spend a few hundred
dollars to look like he scoured Goodwill for clothes. And not interesting
