LOL Yes...but it is "their" discovery, you know? LOL History repeats itself...again and again and again.

Really? I didn't know. ☺

Yellow gold chains on men and women is back.

Saturday I was in ACE Hardware and the young cashier told me, "I like your pajama top!" Me, "?:. I said, "It says Adidas on it. I was planning on wearing it jogging. I thought it was athletic wear." She said, "No. Pajama top, but everyone's wearing PJ's in public. It's stylish. I still like it." Too funny!

I thought PJ's in public was out-of-style.....?

Have their paired the bobby socks with saddle oxfords too? Or penny loafers?

Bell Bottoms are due for another round,too. They came back, left and came back several times.

Or, are they back now? I can't keep up.

Oh, boy. I may pass this second time around, it wouldn't be a good look on me. I think the last time I wore bobby socks with a skirt was also junior high. I'd been arguing with my dad that many of my friends were beginning to wear nylons but I wasn't allowed yet.

Can Mary Janes be far behind?

What are bobby socks?

🤣

Anklets.

How about White Buck shoes? Where's Pat Boone when you need him. ;)

I keep seeing these cute kicky pleated and plaid skirts. SHHHH no one tell them those are UNIFORM skirts!!

Amen to that, Lars.

A double Amen to that, Lars. It's really been overdone. I'm seeing even heavy knits and sweatshirts with the cold shoulder cutouts. How does that make sense, if I'm wearing a sweatshirt I want to be warm including my shoulders.

I was kidding. I know what bobby socks are. My mom wore them, I didn't. BUT (big but), I did wear cuffed socks with ruffles and bows on the back, even in high school. The bobby socks pictures I've seen on Google, look like what I wore.

I remember mom saying that she'd wear multiple pairs to get the thickest roll possible.

Another ”right on”, Lars. I always thought the cutouts on winter sweaters looked ridiciulous. I also find that the style seems to be particularly favoured by very overweight women whose shoulders are not terribly attractive.

The ones shown look like my running socks. It turns out bobby socks also had a come back in the 1980's.

My niece (mid 30's) was moving and she was going through all her clothes and she asked me what she should keep and what she should throw away. I told her to throw away anything with the cold shoulder look. It was never a good look unless you had great looking shoulders which takes a lot of work but even then.....no.

Another "NO" on the cold shoulder look. Just ugly.

The only thing a cold shoulder top is good for, is to wear it when you're going to get an injection in your upper arm. (Like Dolly Parton wore when she got her first Moderna vaccine injection.)

I agree, Lars, and especially on women who are large. Another trend I think should run it's course are the ripped jeans. I see women wearing them that are so ripped that only a few threads exist as the jeans themselves.

I saw Marie Osmond on tv wearing a blazer, and heels, and jeans with the knees ripped out.

Now that just looks stupid, in my opinion.

I'm ok with Bobby socks. I adored my black and white "saddle" shoes. I detest Mary Jane's. I don't know what it is abt them I just hate them. .

I wore bell bottoms in high school. When our daughter hit high school they were call flares I think? And yeah, they thought their generation created them haha.

Ah, memories! White buck shoes were my dream in jr.high, and I actually got a pair.... which I promptly ruined by painting them with that white liquid for sneakers, when they had scuff marks. LOL. Don't think I willingly wore them again. Too embarrassed. ={

I didn't really pay attention to her shoes, but my impression is that they were black flats, or maybe mary janes. I don't remember bobby sox making a comeback in the 80s!

Flares (IMO) were not the same as bell bottoms. The latter were very wide at the bottom, sometimes as much as a foot! and started expanding at the knee. Flares were more moderate, didn't get so wide so high up, but somewhat wider than boot-cut. IIRC.

I was shopping Macy's for a pair of light-weight all cotton capris, and saw an unfortunate number of w.i.d.e leg pants. Not quite palazzo, maybe.

The wide legged capris pants of a couple years ago looked awful to me. Are they still around? I need new capris.

I wear short Gold Toe cotton socks, I think a clerk called them "roll tops", when I was in Kohls looking to replace a bunch of mine. Mine have no cuff and do not dig into your skin. What she called "roll tops" really didn't look like the socks I have. I usually fold the top down too.

Now I think I'll go online and look for Gold Toe socks.

In the 80s I think it was slouch socks that were in style, not bobby socks.

I just hate the ripped jeans. OK, I get that kids like to be different from their Moms, but when I see the old ladies wearing these, I just want to gag! So stupid looking. I've kinda just gotten to where I don't pay much attention though because if I did I think my eyes would "get stuck like that"...HAHA!

I've always thought if you need a scissors to "rip" holes in your jeans, you're not doing it right.

LOL on the ripped jeans! When my 90 yo Mom first saw someone wearing them she said "Oh dear, do you think she can't afford new jeans?" I explained this was the new style--she thought it was stupid, and so do I!

When I was a child in the 50's, anklets and bobby socks were two different things. Anklets were thin socks like the ones shown in maire_cate's link and were worn for dressier occasions. Mine were worn with shiny, patent leather Mary Janes. Bobby socks were thicker socks and were worn with saddle oxfords, or loafers. I hated saddle oxfords; heavy, made with thick, hard leather and always rubbed blisters on my heels. I was so happy when they were no longer in style in the 60's !

I'll admit I have some of the cold shoulder shirts - I prefer to call them my inoculation shirts instead!

You mean I shouldn't be wearing these to the grocery store? ;-)

cholebud I try not to laugh at "the youngs" style choices (remembering I was young once too) but if I saw anyone wearing anything close to that silly, I'd bust out laughing, good and loud!

Oh for heaven's sake. How could a model wear that and also not bust out laughing? Well, they make big $$$ for doing it I guess.

Right, they do make big bucks doing it. My guess is that model's likely worn equally ridiculous things down a runway. I can only imagine the price tag for those "airy jeans." :-O
