Atrocious fashion choices by decade

[poindexter]

I think we can all agree on the awfulness of the '70s and '80s, but we couldn't think of anything similar from the '90s. I mean, we had flannel and a few other things, but i can't remember anything even close to the embarrassment level of other generational fashion trends.

Watch the Jimmy Connors 30 for 30 and pay attention to the crowd during his historic run in 1991. An ugly vomit of neon . Here's Agassi.

Still can't get over the "no awful fashion in the 1990's" comment.

I have this god awful photo of me from the early 1970s. I am not sure how old I was -- maybe 5 or 6. I have on a blue sportcoat over a white turtleneck, the most awful plaid pants. ... a mix of yellow, blue and white. And white shoes to finish it all off. My mom had lost her damned mind.

From today, not a clothing trend, but men with big bushy beards are going to look back at the photos with embarrassment.

I agree on jeans that sit below the waist. Just dumb.

Athletes and meatheads don't count when it comes to fashion. Generally I'd look to them for fashion tips as much as I'd turn to them for literary recommendations. I think right now and the use of hoverboards. Does that count as fashion? Sorry, but nobody looks cool on a hoverboard.

The beard thing is the worst thing going right now. I blame that idiot reliever for the Giants from five or six years ago. Everybody thought it was so damn neat.

The explosion of tattoos is definitely the worst recent fashion development, especially on women.

My beard is inspired by nothing more than my face's inability to contain all of my masculinity.

Always loved the Suicide Girls.

Beards are weird. I am often bearded, and when I have one, I think, I am never going to shave off this glorious face sweater. Then I'll get hot and shave it off and think, Why do I ever have a beard? I look 10 years younger without it. Then I forget and immediately start growing a new one. It's like I have no facial hair memory.

This is both the truest and most vapid thing I've ever written.

Funniest thing about sagging pants? It started as a prison thing, a way for a guy to advertise that he was down for some action. Tell that to the next dood you see rocking the sagging pants

That's the NFL Quarterback Club. Kosar and Marino were the driving forces behind it. Big deal in sports business in the 90s. For perspective, the revenues today make those in the 90s look like chump change:

IT USED TO BE that quarterbacks had all the fun. More recently, through the efforts of the NFL Quarterback Club, it appeared quarterbacks had all the funds, too. The Quarterback Club has been one of the sports industry's success stories of the 1990s: a marketing company started by a group of elite players, working closely with the bosses at NFL headquarters, that annually spreads revenues of reportedly more than $ 10 million among its 40 members. Founded in 1991, the QB Club limited its membership to those it deemed marketable, creating overnight a sort of superstar frat house. Signal callers held sway, but the club occasionally tabbed a Jerry Rice or a Barry Sanders.
