If you could bring back one fashion trend of a bygone time, and make it popular again (and well into the future), what would it be?
I'd bring back the 80s punk trend of wearing dramatically mismatched clothing—especially textures, colors, and patterns. I already kinda do this with cargo jeans and fluffy pink sweaters, or sparkly heart earrings and steel spiked cuffs.
@alice @eurekasven7 I say let's do the medieval (and maybe renaissance?) thing where clothing was more modular.
Instead of wearing a single stitched together pair of pants, there were hose - individual leg garments you tied to a belt - so having two pairs of hose gave you 4 possible leg outfits
Similarly the sleeves that were tied to the bodice or jacket with ribbons - so two dresses with their sleeves gave you at least 4 possible combinations.

@alice @eurekasven7 CAPES! We need more capes and flowy fashion for guys, I don't care what Edna says about them!
@FilthyShrooms @alice @eurekasven7 thinking about one of my friends who spent a year as a visiting professor at MIT and, when asked in a reddit AMA about "what surprised you the most about MIT?" responded "the number of students wearing capes. Why are there so many students wearing capes?"

@alice collapsible hand fans. You can get them at the dollar store. They're not just for power bottoms anymore! They're great, especially if you're the fidgity type (I am).

@alice the elements I'd prefer to bring back from 80s punk would be steel toed leather boots and decorated leather jackets. Everyone's leather jacket was an absolute work of art reflecting their inner angst and loves. Meanwhile steel toed boots are a far better defense for most situations than any weapon.

@alice @eurekasven7 I want belt pouches, like from the medieval/renaissance/generic fantasy periods. Not full fanny packs; just a smallish external pocket off-center. I’ve got keys, wallet, AirPods, pocket knife, and phone to carry at a minimum. I want something more versatile than cargo pants or a jacket. They can add a splash of color, while bringing utility to the table too.
@drsbaitso @alice @eurekasven7 I saw this pattern release literally this week so I guess belt pouches are back?

Cloaks. Mostly just to make it socially acceptable to wear a blanket out in public.

@dan that was my experience in Mensa. Lots of capes.

@brass75 I've been wearing those my whole life.

@alice
I like gothic girly style with lace and black and colorful tops of pastel color! -

@drsbaitso @alice @eurekasven7 do bandoliers work as well?

@ambientspace @alice @eurekasven7 It's not for me, because I want to take weight off my back/shoulders. But I wouldn't block 'em.

@dan $137 for a cape??

@dan $137 for a cape??
@alice @dan I'm not sure which is more surprising: that US postal carriers have to buy their own uniforms, that the prices are that ridiculous, or that anyone willing to spend that much money can buy an official USPS cape!
(But really, why am I surprised. The answer to all these things is capitalism. Gotta run that postal service like a for-profit business!)

@alice @dan @FilthyShrooms @eurekasven7 Have you seen the price of bedding these days?!
