1. Is THAT back in style again?
God, every crappy fad we had to suffer through in the 70s and 80s is back!

6. That's who wore them when I was in college in the early 80's
I'm sorry to admit I used to chase fraternity boys, but even I drew the line at that. Ugh.

As long as nobody starts selling argyle sweaters in pink and green.

10. visible Calvin Klein knickers
Ben Elton said something like "back when I was a teenager showing your knickers was a source of extreme embarrassment"

Hey everyone look at my knickers...hang on, why is everybody laughing at me? (if you have to ask there's no point trying to explain)

12. But I do that!
I looooooove to have my collar up. I was doing it long before it was considered 'cool' and will continue to do so long after it's 'not cool' anymore.

I put the collars up on almost every shirt with them, and ALL THE COLLARS on my jackets are up.
