Hate to break it to you , but some of these are already back in style …
1.“Overly tweezed eyebrows. I loved the ’90s, but so many of my sisters never got their full brows back.”
2.“Flared, low-rise jeans.”
3.“Shoulder pads.”
4.“The huge, sometimes starched/sometimes floppy bow-neck blouses that were supposed to be the female equivalent of shirt-and-tie with women’s business suits.”
5.“Perms or ‘permanent’ waves. They were so awful.”
6.“Around 2003-04, everyone was wearing bootcut jeans, and they would be too long. They would get all worn and frayed on the ends, particularly around the heel. I couldn’t stand it then, and I can’t now.”
7.“Oversized shirts where the shoulder seam was on your bicep.”
8.“Polyester pant suits and leisure suits.”
9.“OMG, the rat tails! A kid in my high school had one that was outrageously long, and it ripped out when he tripped on it.”
10.“Mullets.”
11.“Leg warmers.”
12.“Bright sport jackets with wide lapels. I cringe whenever I see a show about the ‘70s.”
13.“Farrah Fawcett feathered hair (looks great on her, though).”
14.“Crimped hair.”
15.“Neon colored everything.”
16.“In the early ’90s, it was popular for women to wear a ‘wind suit.’ This was a baggy nylon warm-up style jacket and pants made up of different bright colors.”
17.“Acid-washed high-rise jeans with a puffy tummy area.”
18.“The preppy style, especially the polo shirts with the collars flipped up.”
19.“Uggs with a mini skirt. The trend I most participated in, guilty as charged.”
20.“I don’t remember what they called them, gauchos? Wide leg ‘pants’ that come to mid-calf. That and what we called capris, which were mid-calf, too. I see things called capri pants now, and they seem to be just above the ankle. Those are fine. It’s the ‘clam-digger’ length I hate.”
21.“Socks with lace-trimmed ankle cuffs worn with high-heeled pumps. Madonna could barely pull off the look, but the 20-something girls at the mall looked like 6-year-olds wearing Mommy’s shoes.”
22.“The Dorothy Hamill haircut, on women or men.”
23.And finally, “Heroin chic.”
