When times are good fashion gets more conservative.

What is the connection? Discouragement makes us want to dress more conservatively? Whereas when times are good we let it all hang out and party? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/bad-economy-lower-hemlines#post-426466 Tue, 20 Sep 2011 19:12:48 +0000 Saretta 426466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was just wondering about the old adage that hard times bring longer skirts, whereas better economic times signal the return of the mini, or at least shorter skirts.
