Lileks on the revival (if that’s what you want to call it) of 70’s “fashion” (among other things):
Weve had 30 years to study these fashions, and the results are conclusive: they suck. They dont make anyone look good. They are particularly injurious to someone whose face is dotted with the Vesuvian boils of adolescence. I know its a played out meme, but please: we need “80s Eye for the 70s guy”. Someone shave these mutts and put em in Ray-bans and Izod just so they realize there are alternatives to looking like a roadie for the Foghat Fool For the City tour.
No kidding. I’ve been trying to tell my wife this for some time.
