Atrocious fashion choices by decade

From the 60s: Nehru jackets.

 

Jorts didn't become popular until I was a poor, single guy. They were too expensive.

 

My wife always wanted me to wear jorts. She'd buy them and then I'd return them.

 

I have no idea how wide this trend was, but for about six months in the mid-'80s, everyone at my high school wore cycling shorts. Like, black lycra shorts. I don't know how to say this without getting gross about it, but there were dances that must have set records for the most teenage moose knuckle per square foot.

Every fashion trend comes back around.

Hopefully not that one, though.

I await the return of jorts and I'll laugh at them again.

 

Oh, Canada.

 

I believe the term is "smuggling grapes."

Also, I proudly wore jorts, complete with an extraordinarily long leather braided belt.

 

Was it just us? I've really wondered since whether it was a very localized, very stupid fashion trend. I've never heard anybody else talk about their cycling shorts days.

 

Rockin' the hair in post #5?

 

I fondly remember the Ocean Pacific/Panama Jack phase.

 

I don't remember exactly, but I think the rat tail more coincided with my Jams and Shark Watch phase. Mainly because my parents wouldn't let me grow it until after the school year was over.

 

I'm trying to figure out the "moose knuckle" v "grapes" thing.

The Yanks may have some catching up to do.
