But then, it seems that almost NOBODY knows what to wear when, now, and designers ( cough, cough, cough ) only make very ugly clothes now; even/especially the most pricey ones.
Perhaps the pendulum will swing back, some, now, with the Trumps in the White House.
You’re right. I used to really enjoy the fashion magazines, but there hasn’t seemed to be any central concept to the styles that have come out in the past few decades. And nothing really beautiful that makes you want to go out and buy it, or a knockoff of it.
I’ve been looking for a plain, black dress coat. Can’t find much at all that is classic, age-appropriate, and not really ‘trendy’ or plainly ugly.
If you sew, you notice that even some of the more expensive items are poorly made and of low-grade material, compared with the past.
Is it too much to hope for that maybe someday we can again find attractive clothing made from decent fibers in department stores?
I gave up and started buying all my clothes from the thrift store.
I agree, pants can look fine. Just not for me. I have one pair of black slacks for winter air travel, and one pair of tan slack for summer air travel, and some uniform pieces for camp or heavy yardwork.
It doesn’t look like anyone is wearing slacks these days, except for me and my mom. Everyone’s wearing exercise pants all the time.
