i've been watching 90s tv shows-- "coupling", "monk", "will and grace". not strictly 90s, but early '00s with enough 90s carry over. i've notices that the tops worn particularly on "coupling" are very relevant today, but the bottoms or bottom/top pairings give the outfit a dated look.

i still have many of those items in my closet, partly nostalgia for items i bought when i first started making an income, partly hoarder tendencies, partly feeling that i didn't get "enough" use out of expensive items especially shoes. like the pointy toe spike heel skinny tall boots and the full length baby boot cuts. if anything goes in fashion, how do i update these items?
