Yes, and the smart, sleek, dresses and sweaters worn in the early 60s (like Jackie O). They weren't revealing but displayed the female figure in an elegant way. I don't this look is antique at all either. Alas, most modern women are too big for them and they want to show their tattoos and cleavage.

The haircuts from the era? (like beehives) were not so good, glad those are gone.

I like the flowing dresses from the Charley's Angels era and Dynasty.

I agree on the Doris Day fashions. The beautiful suits she wore were so elegant, well-made and attractive.

Hi Honey badger mentor,
Long flowing skirts and parachute pants from the 1980's. I also love long hair style of 80's.
Thanks!!

.
That look never went out of style. Well, except maybe during the 80's, which were a bizarre aberration. But women in the 90's wore it, and some do now, as well. It's just a more high-end look, that's all. The kind of women that wear it don't wear tattoos. They're definitely around.

I have a number of friends and female relatives in their 20's, and none of them have tattoos. None of them has cleavage, either. They all like the tailored, tasteful look like Jackie O. She didn't have cleavage to speak of, either. That sleek look is perfect for that figure type.
