** Similarly in England Arsenal used a kit design based on their original colours during their final season at Highbury stadium.
** The Los Angeles Lakers tried to play a game with the uniforms from [[The Eighties]]. They changed back to their normal uniforms at half time. [http://awfulannouncing.blogspot.com/2007/12/lakers-bring-back-short-shorts-for-80s.html Short shorts on gigantic men do not work well together.]

* Think you'll be immune to this if you wear a nice, conservative suit? Nice try. The cut of the jacket, the width of the lapels, and the height of the gorge (the point where the collar and lapels come together) all change drastically over the decades, and it's immediately obvious in a crowd when your suit is not the same as the ones currently in fashion. That said, you could probably get away with a [[Awesome Anachronistic Apparel|double-breasted '30s suit with a pleated back]] in a way that you couldn't with a hilariously exaggerated '70s number with a wide tie, or an '80s Power Suit. Just hope that you're at the age where you buy most of your business apparel when things are at a happy equilibrium. If not, you will look dated for the rest of your adult life.

* Likewise, neckties. Historically, they have varied in width from 1 inch up to 6 inches, according to the whims of fashion. The pendulum has just swung to the point where all those narrow ties from [[The Sixties]] and [[The Eighties]]
** High-waistedness is coming back{{when}} for men and women, at least in America, and vests have just become extremely popular, possibly because of ''[[Mad Men]].''
