Alright, let’s yak about them clothes from back in 2007. You know, the stuff them young’uns were wearin’. Don’t rightly remember all the fancy names, but I saw enough on TV and in them magazines at the store.
Them jeans, oh them jeans! They was wearin’ them low-rise ones, the kind that barely covered their behinds. My goodness, I always thought they’d fall right off! And tight, real tight jeans too, they called ‘em skinny jeans, like stovepipes they was, huggin’ their legs all the way down. Lord, I don’t know how they could breathe in them things.
Then there was them dresses, all flowy and whatnot. Pretty, I guess, but not somethin’ I’d ever wear. Too much fabric flappin’ around, gettin’ caught on everything. But them young girls, they loved them, especially with all that fancy stitchin’ on ‘em, embroidery they called it. Made ‘em look like fancy doilies, if you ask me.
- Belts: Big ol’ belts they were wearin’, cinchin’ in their waists tight. Showed off their figures, I suppose. Saw some actress on TV, Emma somethin’-or-other, wearin’ one with a dress. Looked kinda nice, I gotta say.
- Sporty Stuff: Even their workout clothes was fancy. They called it “luxury athletic wear,” like they was gonna run a marathon in somethin’ that cost a month’s rent. But I guess if you got the money, you can spend it how you want.
And the preppy look, oh my. Plaid everywhere! Shirts with buttons, little neckties, vests that barely covered their bellies. Looked like they was all goin’ to some fancy school. Them Pussycat Dolls, them singers, they wore that kind of stuff sometimes, I think. Always dancin’ around on TV, them girls.
Now, shoes. Flats, lots of flats. Ballet flats, they called ‘em. Comfy, I bet, but not much for keepin’ your feet dry in the mud. And remember them Crocs? Ugly things, like big ol’ plastic clogs, but everybody and their brother was wearin’ ‘em. Even that robot from Star Wars, C-3PO, was a fashion star that year, can you believe it? Folks is crazy, I tell ya.
Make-up was somethin’ else too. Them girls was paintin’ their eyes black, real thick, makin’ it wing out at the sides like a cat. Bold, they called it. I just called it a waste of good eyeliner. But hey, what do I know? I’m just an old woman.
Speaking of fancy stuff, I heard tell of this fella, Giorgio somethin’, openin’ a big store in Tokyo. Big parties and all. Guess them rich folks gotta have somewhere to spend their money. And Moscow too, they was havin’ big fancy parties for clothes. The world’s gone crazy for clothes, seems like.
2007, they say it was a year for all kinds of styles. Some folks was lookin’ like they stepped out of the 60s or 70s, with short dresses and flower patterns. Others was wearin’ bright shiny stuff from the 80s. Seemed like anything goes, as long as it was loud and got you noticed.
Looking back, it’s funny how them styles come and go. What was hot then looks kinda silly now, and what’s hot now will probably look silly later. But that’s fashion for ya, always changin’. Me? I’ll stick to my comfy clothes and leave the fancy stuff to them young’uns. At least I can bend over without worryin’ about my pants fallin’ off!
So that’s what I remember about 2007 fashion. A whole lotta fuss about clothes, if you ask me. But hey, folks like what they like, and that’s all that matters. Now, where did I put my glasses…?
