Posted: 1/10/08 at 11:22amBut Straight guys dressed gay too. I remember the absolutely most macho thing you could wear to the mall was tiger stripe parachute pants with a t-shirt that was so cut up it was impossible to cover both nipples at once. A lot of Body Builders wore that every day. thank god.

SOMMS - we would have looked so good together - the 'night and day' effect! Covering ALL the bases.
But we did that on our own, anyway

Posted: 1/10/08 at 11:24amThat's why I loved the eighties ... gay and straight men ... same bad fashion choices.

Posted: 1/10/08 at 11:28amI was heavily into vintage....high waisted 1940's pleated pants sometimes tucked into combat boots, skinny belt and tie, and military beret.

Posted: 1/10/08 at 11:28amAh, fish-net muscle tees. Preferably with a rat tail.

Posted: 1/10/08 at 11:31amSOMMS, say what you will about the 80's, but the fashions in the 70's were worse.

Posted: 1/10/08 at 11:31amSigh! Always wished I could wear a mesh muscle tee, but my chest was too hairy. Remember nylon Dolphin gym shorts (practically hotpants!)?

Posted: 1/10/08 at 11:33amMy NYC club outfit was holey denim daisy dukes and combat boots. Still in fashion, today!

Posted: 1/10/08 at 11:35amRemember those awful, accordion-like sweatpants in the late eighties? Usually paired with a tight, candy-colored tank top?

Posted: 1/10/08 at 11:36amClothes were a LOT more revealing back then- open shirts, short shorts. You could see a lot of skin on the street.

*sigh*
Tight pants with no underwear. There's a REASON I hate all this baggy clothes trend we've been in.
