Do you think fashion was better in the 80s, the 90s, or nowadays?
The way I see it:
80s fashion pro: Few tattoos or piercings aside from the ear, fashion was very creative, there were still traces of formality, people wore clothes that fit. And nice colors for the most part.
80s fashion con: Some horrible hairstyles, huge glasses, some ridiculously old-fashioned and frilly dresses, handlebar mustaches.
90s fashion pro: Tattoos if becoming common weren't ridiculous like now, no gauge ear piercings, some of the women's fashion was quite cute, and there was relatively little conformism.
90s fashion con: Backwards baseball caps, fashion was often painfully plain, saggy pants debuted, fashion was becoming "sluttier"
Today's fashion pro: Probably the best looking clothing out of the three, fashion doesn't seem as slutty as it did in the 00s, nice colors, clothes fit again. A good balance of hairstyle, not super straight like late 90s hair but not the poodleishness of the 80s either.
Today's fashion con: Tattoos are becoming ridiculous, people who would have been considered bikers or bulldykes 10 years are just sporting the "normal" look now. Nothing sucks more than a beautiful woman who ruins herself by covering her entire body in tattoos. Piercings have become more extreme too, with those huge holes in people's ears. What's next, cutting your arms off as a fashion statement?
I think I'd probably go with the 90s overall actually. Bland as they were, the pros and cons weren't as extreme on either end. Fashion was kind of dull but overall looked pretty decent. The early 90s were hardly bland either. It was more 1995 onwards that had no character.
The best 10s fashion blows away the 80s and 90s' best offerings though.
The best fashion out of the choices given is the present one by far. It is more elegant, tasteful and traditional. The materials are better and everything is more tailored. The previous styles were baggy and ghetto for the men, and slutty and trashy for the women. Todays fashion is also pretty diverse there are a lot of hairstyles and clothing styles to choose from and they all look good. You can go preppy (Ralph Lauren, Brooks Brothers, J Crew, Vineyard Vines, and Banana Republic), hipster without going to extreme (Express, H&M and American Apparel), modern european (Hugo Boss, Burberry, and Armani) elegant (Gucci and Christian Dior), beach/island (Tommy Bahama and Vineyard Vines), athletic (Nike, Puma, Adidas) or a tasteful mix.

Yes there's definitely more choice now. Even in the '90s, kids' clothing for example mostly looked the same despite the existence of Gap Kids and Baby Gap. Lots of overalls and stripes and that kinda thing.
What's wrong with backwards hats? I'm a inner city person, I'm hate the sagging pants, its disgusting but backwards hat is a fashion statement. 90's were cool fashion wise, we'd go out, hat backwards, sports jersey or a white/black plain t shirt, loose fit jeans and we were balling!

I miss the prep fashion of the 80's. Plus the women were not all marked up. I like a blank canvas when I paint.
