Yes, I have a couple suits and a Harris Tweed sport coat that I still wear from the 80s All very classic, traditional . that still look good and some shirts that are that old. I am trying not to outgrow those clothes. I have a other shirts that I just got tired of and retired but I dress pretty conservative anyway. Not for trendy stuff anymore.
I have some old adidas, an old british green wax cotton LL Bean jacket that looks like a Barbour jacket, and a "mad bomber" style hat in buffalo plaid. 90s looking stuff is back in a major way, both in the USA and europe.
I gave away a few really gorgeous silk wrap dresses from back then, about ten years ago, which I still regret.
Oh, I did, too! Didn't help that some were DVF, which I see are going for $$$ on Ebay, as that style's made a bit of a resurgence. Boo... If I buy a wrap silk dress again, it's staying in the closet for good.
I have a few long-sleeved shirts from the 1990's that I could still wear, including one that is denim. I hadn't remembered to do that this year, and the fit is baggy (must have been worse in the 90's).
Well does anyone have clothing from these decades that is still wearable without sticking out? I'm almost completely a jeans/polo/t-shirt/gym shorts/cargo shorts/sweatshirt/hoodie type of person and I don't think anything about wearing a pair of Levi's that were bought in the 90s. I also wear a lot of my brother's t-shirts from 90s. IMO, a polo is a polo as long as it fits. I have button down collar shirts from the 90s that I still wear with the sleeves rolled up. Gym shorts and hoodies never seem to go out of style. Heck, even shoes from the 90s-'00s still look ok to me (boots, sneakers (Air Max, Jordans, Pennys, etc etc etc).
When will all this stuff be too out of style to wear without looking crazy? A lot of stuff that's used to describe 70s and 80s fashion would definitely stand out. Is it just that simple clothing that isn't particularly fashionable takes a looooong time to completely look odd?
I don't think I have anything bought within the last 15 years that I'd be embarrassed to wear out.
I buy few new clothes as needed but I'm retired and don't care. I keep old clothes around to save money. I have no need to keep up with fashion. My life fashion life is about not spending money I don't need to, donating things I don't use anymore (including clothing), and not keeping in style.
I still have a suit that I bought in the '70s. I won't say that it doesn't stand out a bit. It does, but in a nice retro way, I think. I also have some wool trousers and sweaters from the 80s which I wear once in a while.
