Evidence please (in the form of pictures) of foul-mouthed, beer-swilling, tracksuit wearing, tattooed, 'orange tanned' women from 1920.
Lol - you're having a larf... And presumably you're judging this from observing those parading around Stoke...?
In the 80s, in particular, with all the 'power-dressing' occurring during the Thatcher era, women definitely dressed more femininely (and by that I mean wearing dresses, skirts and heeled shoes) than is often seen now, where many are happy to slob about in baggy leggings and trainers, some also with very short hair, so you'd be hard pressed to know if it's a man or a woman.
I'm not talking about 'high-maintenance dollies', whose shallow lives revolve around preening themselves, but just women who take a pride in their appearance, wash daily(!) and in some way embrace their femininity.
As for trends, well I've always admired women who shun them and create their own unique style, than merely follow fashions like sheep. Especially the idiots who wear clothes that may well be 'trendy', but that they look bloody ridiculous in!!
Marco.
