its so true. and whats worse, i never thought it would come back. i thought we learned that lesson. but no.....there was a revival of blossom hats and hammer pants.

i havent seen that version. i always see it on netflix, but i'm so attached to the late 70s radio version that it would feel like cheating.

Well, now we have a grunge revival, of sort: you're starting to see a lot more plaids (but brighter this time around), boots, and lots of layers. Converse has seen a resurgence and lots of people are imitating their look. Sweaters are looking more like casual crew-neck sweatshirts.

All the polo shirts this spring made me think we'd be circling back around to the late 50's. I'm hoping for the 20's.

Has converse ever really gone out of style?

I have noticed more people wearing plaids as well.

It would be nice to see some of the 20s fashion loop around, but I fear too much casualness has gotten into men's fashion for that to really happen.

I don't know that Converse ever went out of style, but there was a resurgence of interest in the brand during the last two years or so.

I don't expect men to start all wearing zoot suits and stuff either. I'm thinking we might see the same cuts and fabrics, suspenders, pageboy and hudson style caps... but if I could predict these things accurately, I'd be making money in the fashion industry I guess, rather than managing databases.
