IF you were old enough to remember polaroid, or vinyl LPs, or cassettes, you can justifiably remember the retro feel and look of old photos. But hipster yoofs taking pictures yesterday and giving them a 70s feel's just wrong. If you weren't there, you're not entitled, so yah boo sucks.
Wobbling Jul 2013 5:03pm, 31 Jul 2013 2,442 posts	Quote Pin Wobbling Where as for clothes, the rule is totally the other way (so I'm told): you shouldn't wear clothes that are having a revival if you wore them the first time around.
Velociraptor Jul 2013 5:08pm, 31 Jul 2013 26,470 posts	Quote Pin Velociraptor I can't think of anything I wore the first time round that I'd wear now. Ponchos? Hot pants? Corduroy dungarees? Laura Ashley floral frocks? Handkerchief hems? Bay City Rollers trousers? Frillly shirts? Safety pins in my ears? Maxi skirts? Ugh!

Carpathius Jul 2013 5:26pm, 31 Jul 2013 835 posts	Quote Pin Carpathius No. They just went underground and became the garment that you wore around the house but would have to put some proper clothes to answer the door.
