Maybe it's my repressed Road to Avonlea longings, but I just love a floor-length, a-line skirt. I wore them in the '90's and would happily do so again. I also second San: hats! Oh, how I'd love it if hats became very popular again. And twinsets. And brooches as an everyday item rather than an ironic "look" to do. Basically, I just want dressed-up, ladylike glamour to come back!

I am glad leg warmers are back and intigued to hear LouLou say that she wears them under knee high boots. I like the idea of the leg warmers peeking over the boot top. I am thrilled that leggings are back and picked up 2 pair while in Texas, along with a couple of very cute tunic tops. cciele on "Out of style fashions you wish would return" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/out-of-style-fashions-you-wish-would-return#post-90282 Tue, 01 Sep 2009 02:46:43 +0000 cciele 90282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I wish men would wear suits like they did in the 19th century -- waistcoat, tight-fitting jacket and trousers/breeches, boots, cravats--le sigh. But I would settle for men wearing something besides a logo t-shirt and jeans/cargo pants!

It made getting dressed so much more fun. But here are some things I don't want to wear again: felt circular poodle skirts with three sets of bright rainbow stiff net petticoats and worn with bobby sox and saddle oxfords; hot pants; polyester double knits with elastic waists (especially pant suits); teased bouffant hair, duck tail hair styles, pointy bras and tight girdles with those metal thingies to hold up your seamed stockings; heavy fur coats...does anyone want any of these back?? shiny on "Out of style fashions you wish would return" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/out-of-style-fashions-you-wish-would-return#post-90273 Tue, 01 Sep 2009 01:58:14 +0000 shiny 90273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The color cranberry. I love that color, OD'd awhile back when it was in style, dumped most of my clothes in that color for one reason or another (weight issues, style issues, worn-to-death issues), and now I find myself missing it and craving it. I confess that I miss dark dramatic lipstick - even if my own days are probably over for that. I just like the way it looks on others, the contrast. ("Simply irresistable... she's so fine... there's no telling where the money went...") Otherwise I agree with Angie and RoseandJean!

I don't mind the casual dress code. I mind the SLOPPY dress code. Unfortunately I see little hope of this ever changing.

It’s not as fun to live in an era where casual is the norm. In fact it makes me sad at times. I say bring on strict dress codes as fashion!

In fact i've got a couple of pairs which i wear under trousers or knee high boots as an extra layer when it's cold. And i've seen loads of teenagers wearing them with skirts, might give it a go we could start a new fashion craze!!!!!

I have large calves (about 14.5-15 inches), and am an otherwise smallish person--in fact, there are points where my calves and thighs are the same circumference. Legwarmers would solve my large calf problems by hiding them when I wear skirts. I don't think legwarmers are particularly attractive or my style, but because they would flatter me, I would be all over it if they were part of the '80s revival. What out of style trends do you wish would make a comeback?
