I like a little mystery. Yoga pants or leggings for women, along
   with sweat pants for men, both conform excessively to me to body
   contours.

   I wasn't a fan of the camel-toe movement; it SEEMS to have died
   down somewhat but the fashion, as all fashion does, was going to
   younger and younger ages, which I found a bit creepy. It was
   like a set of front butt cheeks, a frontal thong was likely to
   be next.

   Then again, I found Nicki Minaj's ass-clapping to be bizarre;
   belonged in cirque d' soleil or something. Amazing trick; she
   could probably juggle with those cheeks.

   Men's sweatpants are much the same. Knowing a guy's ass is
   sweaty or that he forgot underpants that day _really_ isn't the
   kind of thing worthy to advertise in public, honestly.

   Maybe I'm a fashion prude, I dunno. When I was little, gym
   shorts were really super short. You had to be careful how you
   sat, or your ballsack would be hanging out. It's not just
   strange in retrospect; it was kinda strange then, although it
   made sense in sports; watching the opposite trend in the mid
   1990s with 7' tall basketball players having shorts that COVERED
   THEIR KNEES was so ridiculous. You need to BEND KNEES not have
   fabric in the way.

   But fashion is weird.

   Leggings to me, is pajamas/ Wear at home. Get comfortable. Wear
   at the gym. Wear it while doing sports.

   But if I can tell how many babies you had when you walk past me
   without even having to try looking... perhaps it might be a bit
   much. I always thought of "stretchies" as a fashion trend of the
   1980s anyway. I'm REALLY kinda surprised to see it making a huge
   comeback over the past few years. I hoped it would die out
   during the cargopants era of the 1990s... Mind you, I'm not
   criticizing cloth leggings.. it's the certain kind of
   stretchies, which always seem to be 5 sizes too small.

   Then again, I can't complain. Sideboob was ALMOST a thing a few
   years ago. I don't care about frontal cleavage (although really,
   does a woman's neck HAVE TO go so far down that it goes
   horizontal and splits in two)? but when the "side boob" was
   _almost_ a fashion thing, I was cringing. I waited. I was sure
   it was going to happen, as sure as I was that the "muffin top"
   movement was going to die out, which it did....

   but thankfully.. so far, I was wrong. and stopped cringing ...
   waiting. I read somewhere a long time ago:
   80% of men dress well enough. 20% of men are mismatched and look
   horrible.
   80% of women are mismatched and look horrible. 20% of women
   dress well enough.

   Of course, it's an exaggeration; 80/20 rule doesn't apply to
   everything. But the point they were proving is: Men have it
   EASY. We're only ALLOWED to buy clothes of certain colors and
   styles and therefore, matching up takes zero brain power..
   almost.

   But women have TOO MANY CHOICES... and, well, most people don't
   know how to dress for success let's just say. I'm no better. The
   sad thing is; it's not advertising. I don't think most of the
   women who make poor fashion choices are REALLY AWARE just how
   bad it looks, especially if their friends all dress the same
   way. lol I forget that sweatpants is an Americanism. Yeah, in
   school I'd sometimes wear them under long pants during cold
   weather. Or pajamas. or "long johns" (thermal underwear).

   I actually liked the goofy looking thermal underwear. I wouldn't
   wear it to the store, but they're comfortable under clothes. Oh
   yeah, I mean if someone wants to flaunt what they got, go for
   it. It's just, I dunno, knowing some sort of limits.

   It's not that they should be forbidden; I think people should be
   able to wear what they want, however they want, as little or as
   much as they want. I don't care about nudity or clothing or any
   of that stuff.

   But...

   I guess it's the group-mental-illness that fashion sometimes
   brings out. "HEY I LOOK HAWT!" ... errr.. you do now. But in
   five years, you will delete your every instagram selfie from the
   era.

   It's probably a blessing that Myspace removed the old user pages
   [unless someone requested it to come back up]: there was a lot
   of awkward fashion 6-8 years ago and as those kids grew out of
   middle/high school/college, I suspect more than one of them
   would've regretted a future employer going, "HEY, THIS YOU?"

   I have my fashion faux-pas through the years as well. That'd
   make a fun thread: 'most embarrassing personal fashion choice".
   It was only the thin ones I was talking about.

   And sweatpants? That's only referring to men.

   Do my opinions matter? No. Wear what you want to wear. I'm just
   expressing opinions, and as they say, opinions are like
   assholes, and I apologize if I was a bit of an asshole; I didn't
   mean to be. I was lucky enough to be in the tail end of *this*
   fashion trend. Watched socks get shorter and shorts get longer.
   They reached peak length in late 1990s, then started getting
   shorter again. I watched socks disappear completely a few years
   ago, then slowly creep up again.

   Guy's fashion is just as strange. I never understood why I had
   to change every couple of years, but I always do it. YES TO
   HI-TOPS! I wore the tongue popped out, BUT I used NEON Orange
   laces and laced them side-to-side, skater style so I didn't have
   to tie them.

   For added effect, I added Gonzo Bow-biters.

   NOBODY ELSE did that. Bow-biters. It was something for little
   kids to keep the shoelaces together.

   Two years in high school. MY FASHION, thank you smile emoticon
   Carrying on down the list... Yes to #18. That's the lacing
   style.
   Yes to #3: Vans. I loved my Vans. I also laced them side-to-side
   with fat laces after I got bored with hi-tops.
   Yes to Mullet.
   Yes to mullet.
   (yes to mullet).
   *sigh*
   yes to mullet. DANG IT!
