Fashion is Cyclical. My dad was steezy in the 80's.

So I was digging through our giant box of photos and came upon this one from before my parents wedding in 1988. My dad was wearing all of the things that are coming in today. A floppy beanie, flannel, and tight pants. Fashion trends are cyclical. It's all been done before.

haha it's so true...I found a picture of my dad taking me skiing, its from like 1990...He's got sunglasses (like wayfarer shaped ones, but in the early 90s those were just how sunglasses were shaped, haha), a striped sweater, and tight pants.

very true. fashion gets recycled but bits of new stuff get picked up along the way. the frogskin-style glasses, for example, are just like the ones that men wore in the 50's. except now they come in hot colours and shit
