I think the cut of clothes has changed a lot, but it's cyclical. Look at NBA players shorts from 1980 compared to now for example. Also men's suits have gotten slimmer cut, but they were in the 60s to a degree as well.
Bearded men existed before the first hipster was even born. There are so many bearded men in old pictures.
Also, I remember seeing this back home when I was a kid (Asia), this isn't anything new...at least not to me.
I remember when this LV became big, they had a specific design. It's the brown leather with the letters being repeated as a pattern. I remember my mother having that design on one of her purses when I was a kid (no, not LV, but the design).
I think fashion is recycled (simply altered to be show more skin or body fitting) and then there are the classics.
I know, but it wasn't a fashion trend to see men in the city with beards. At least not since what, the 1800s?
I refuse to buy the clothes women wear today. Most fashion now looks like something from a yard sale. I cannot bring myself to spend money on such sloppy clothes with hems that look like someone was on a drug trip when they sewed the seams.
Over a period of time fashion has changed its definition. More variety in clothes , accessories and footwear have emerged with a designer touch. Agreed that there is a vast change in last 30-35 years. Along with the fashion , the thinking and values of people have changed having a broader mentality now.
A good way to understand the looks of different decades is to peruse a used sewing pattern vendor. You can see easily how looks have changed since 1980. In the '80s tops grew big, and shoulder pads were a must in everything. The dress shape was the wedge. Women wore large flat earrings, and big hair. In the '90s, we got the looser, straighter look, finally losing shoulder pads. The look was less "glam" than in the decade before. Clothes became less structured and less fitted--no more puffy sleeves and wide shoulders.
In the late '90s we saw the first long, rectangular dresses, and longer skirts. But clothes were still looser than they are now.
In the early aughts, clothes trimmed up, and finally, after years, skirts became important. This is one way you can separate age groups, even now. Older women wear far more pants, and younger women wear pants and skirts and dresses.
I do think we have gone back to the late nineties/early aughts in some things. Jean jackets, denim garments, maxi skirts and maxi dresses, etc. The classic peacoat has been around for about 20 years, although the shape is modified. I like the return to trousers for women, but the shapes are trimmer than they were. And shoulder pads went away forever, I hope.
One thing is true for this period of time; women are much more into comfort we they used to be, and we feel more at ease being different or unique in our dress.
Except for the length, those are classicly styled suits. I think they look very good too. Look at Bowie in his Serious Moonlight touring days - timeless!
