Looks that should never ever come back?

1. High Socks and Shorts

Ugh.

The plaid shorts ain't doin' much for me either.

Geez, even when i was a high school basketball player, i pushed my socks all the way down so i'd look like Pete Maravich. I didn't even want knee socks with shorts even as a uniform!

And, who wears dress shoes with shorts?

2. PlaidStallions

FTW: PlaidStallions

Hit any link at random. For examples:

Turn on today's "Turned-On" Youth!

Full disclosure: I bought a yellow and burnt orange shag carpet at Sears in 1976 for my bedroom. It wasn't a good one; I paid only $19.95 for it.

do 'Brady Bunch.'"

7. Best part of the 70's was the 'shag haircut'. You pay dearly around here to get this cut...

and just as much to maintain it...That is if you can find a stylist who can or will cut this style.

It is like the color periwinkle...looks good on every face shape.

9. Shag haircuts were a blessing for curly haired gals

I struggled in the early 70s trying to straighten my wavy/curly hair. Long straight hair, parted down the middle was the style. Even if I managed to get my hair straighter, Houston's humidity would make it kink back up in a few hours. But my hair was perfect for the shag.

10. I was just the opposite...straight hair, but I needed wisps to frame my face.

My hair was cut into lawyers and a few minutes set with hot rollers
and styling was easy and then off for the day.

I have seen some modern type shag cuts, but they are from super expensive salons.

12. The one bad thing was you had to get haircuts often

In that way they were high maintenance.

20. When I read that Cher ironed her hair, I literally got my mom's iron out!

I put my hair on the ironing board. It didn't work very well.
I had no idea there was a gadget for ironing hair!

When that didn't work, I chemically straightened my hair for a few years.

13. This type of cut is actually making a comeback.

They now call it a razor cut. I had a shag cut back in the 70's and of all the hairstyles I tried over the years, that's the one I loved the most.

I've been trying to get a shortish razor cut for months now and no one seems to know what I'm talking about. I think you'd have to go to a very upscale expensive salon to find someone who's been taught how to do these properly.

16. I still have the Farah and I'm 62

Nothing else works on me. My hair is has just the right amount of waves and cowlicks. If it gets too short, it sticks out. It is gets too long it goes limp. So, it is back to the Farah. Finding someone who will cut it is the challenge.

[Tikki]

17. The Farah is a awesome look at any age.

Trendy clothes, trendy hairstyles; It can be hard for us girls, sometimes, to
find a way to the classics that serve us best.

8. I would totally wear the shorts on the right.

But I'd wear them ironically.
