Over the years, it has been interesting to observe just what the new generation is going to change. It seems that if the parents wear their hair short, the youth wear it long. And if the shorts are neat and tidy, the young people wear shorts baggy and long. Just watch the basketball players of today compared with twenty five years ago. No one told the young folks to lengthen their shorts but bit by bit, the shorts got longer so now the shorts look like skirts.
My friend Wendy tells me that in the days when she made her own clothes, the question with the dresses was where to put the hem? Or. how much leg would be exposed in the days of the mini skirts? More fabric than leg? Or more leg than skirt? She was the height of fashion or as close to it as she ever got, she said.
Now the young girls wear tight shorts and tight shirts, even with well mannered, modest girls. As a grandmother, I think they look great. But as a mother and father, standards must be imposed. The parents do not want them going out looking like street walkers. It will be interesting to see how long it takes for the girls to realize that very tight clothes are not terribly comfortable, but it might take a while. Certainly, it will take longer with lectures I bet. One of the joys of getting old is watching the styles return. It just takes time.
