Fashion designers of the 1930s make predictions about fashion in 2000
Most of the guesses have to do with women’s style, but they do have a little to say about us guys…
As for [the man], if he matters at all, there won’t be any shaving, colors, ties or pockets. He’ll be fitted with a telephone, a radio, and containers for coins, keys and candy for cuties.

Much more acurate for the guys than the gals, I’d say.
Ooh, swish!
But yeah, definitely more accurate for the men. Especially if you turn that facial hair into a hipster beard. And the containers on his person aren’t just for coins and “candy for cuties” but for mobile devices.
That was pretty spot on for the guys. THe only accurate thing for women was perhaps the part about dresses being made of netting to catching the males.
Ouch. But true in some cases.
Some of those outfits look like Lady Gaga ensembles.
“yet another designer goes so far as to believe that skirts will disappear entirely”
“He’ll be fitted with a telephone”
Those are really the only two things I thought were very accurate.
Stuff like this is awesome.
skirts disappearing? i wear a dress or skirt almost every day.
i hate pants. i think they’re unflattering and uncomfortable.
I feel a little cheated because I don’t have my male, standard issue, fruit bowl hat. Must rectify.
The wedding dress style prediction came true more in the 80s…check out the puffy sleeves!
You beat me to it.
“Ooh, swish!”
