Hey @eurekasven7, thanks for the follow request! Unfortunately there's not enough vibe on your profile to check, so...
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 90s flannels.

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

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

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

@dan @alice @FilthyShrooms @eurekasven7@mastodon.social No idea if it was official, but I saw a mail carrier in a trenchcoat in the USPS style and it was *amazing*

@mayintoronto
No, I haven't. My most expensive hammock was like US$80. -

Is that a real poncho, or a Sears poncho?

@cargot_robbie I've only ever improvised them from blankets. The previous quote is from a Frank Zappa bit.

@alice
Tie on pockets. Finally enough space for stuff, no need for bags, while allowing clothing folds to still fall as intended.
I've already switched to wide pants. Now these, please.
