Which era had the worse fashion? (flat iron, look, clothes, thin)

[tvdxer]

My opinion: the late 80's and early 90's (reaching a peak between 1989 and 1993). Horrible, horrible, horrible!

Oh, I think it may have started in the 70's and snowballed into the 80'.
Really ugly clothes. Jackie O must have turned in her grave.

The 70s......plaid pants and platforms for men?????
-shudder-

[CourageMom]

Norma Kamali shoulder pads!

I don't like the dresses from the 30's- flapper style. I think that style is unflattering on almost any figure type.

I think its funny that we look back on fashions and find them ugly, when during that time, we tend to accept those looks as normal.

I can't believe leg warmers were ever considered "cool," for example.

Also, its fun to watch movies from the 80's and early 90's before flat irons were available- even the big movie stars had frizzy, poofy hair (Fatal Attraction is a good example- both the wife and the mistress had frizzy poofy hair).

That look was done on purpose.
Its called a perm.

I thought the 80s silk blouses with big bows on the front looked kind of ridiculous.

That was the dress for success look, there was a reason for it.
That being said, I thought it was rather hideous myself.

Each decade I can think of has some fashion I really like, and some that I think is hideous or ridiculous. I can't think of a decade where I think everything, fashionwise, was all good or all bad.
